BEHIND HER SWAN FIVE OF THE
CUTEsT DUCKL1NGS YOU CAN
IMAGINE.
II am still suspicious Of those
Crows" said the game warden. "They
are smart, those fellows. They are
crafty"
Sure they are" agreed Farmer
Browns Boy THAT is one reason
am so sure that they are not taking
these little Ducks. Blacky knows We
are watching here, and he is too smart
to do anything to get him in trou-
BILE"
"Of course" said the warden, ut
may be that An Owl is getting them
at night"
Farmer Browns Boy shook his head.
II don't think so," said he.
why don't you think so?" the
warden asked.
Because" replied Farmer Browns
Boy, II don't think that more than
one pair of Owls nested anywhere
around here this season, and I know
where the nest Of that one pair is,
and I know where their favorite roost
is. You know as well as I do that
Owls roll up into pellets the fur and
feathers and bones that cannot be
digested and spit these out. Since
the Ducklings began to disappear I
have been over and picked up a lot
Of those pellets and examined them.
Those Owls haven't been eating
Ducks"
The warden grinned, then made
sign for silence. Mother Black Duck
had just come out from the rushes at
the head of the Smiling Pool and was
swimming toward the other end. Be-
hind her swan five of the cutest
Ducklings you can imagine. There
had been eight Of those baby Ducks
to start with, as the warden and
Farmer Browns Boy knew. A pretty
sight the mother and her babies made.
How proud Mother looked. And how
watchful she was. Constantly her
keen eyes watched both shores.
They were just in the middle Of
the Smiling Pool when something hap
pened, something dreadful There
was a slight swirl in the water and
one Of those Ducklings disappeared
It had been seized from below and
dragged down. In q flash the warden
was on his feet.
"A Swapping Turtle!" he cried
why didn't think Of that before?
There is big Swapping Turtle In
there, and that is the one who has
been taking those little Ducks. Now
know what to do. I'll put = Turtle
trap in there, but meanwhile we must
drive those Ducks down the Laugh
ing Brook to the Big River. They'll
be safer there now than they are
here"

FARMER BROWNS BOY and the
game warden sat on the bank of
the Smiling Pool, discussing the cause
of the disappearance Of several Duck
lings Who had taken them? Sus-
picion had fallen on one after an
other, especially on the part Of the
warden, but so far they had proof
against only one, Grandfather Frog.
They knew that he had taken one wee
Duck, because they had seen him with
q tiny webbed foot sticking out from
corner OF his big mouth. How many
he had caught before, If any, they
didn't know, but they did know that
he wasn't guilty Of any Of the dsap-
pearance since, for he wasn't in the
Smiling Pool Farmer Browns Boy
had caught him and taken him home,
to hold him a prisoner until those
Ducklings should be too big for the
old fellow to swallow. The Duck
lings continued to vanish.

dition to his regular salary. A check

covered that his chickens had been

brought out by Deputy Attorney

Fauors Spelling
Farley :Forleigh'
Rhymes With Raleigh
in Old Irish Records,
Says O'Bannion.

Postmaster General Farley should
change the spelling OF his name to Far
leigh 50 as to rhyme with that OF Sir
Walter Raleigh, according to Shaun
O'Bannian, authority on Gaelic poetry,
who came here today from New York
to do some research work at the Con-
gressional Library.
From what I see in the papers" I"
OBannian said, 'the Postmaster Gen.
eral Is more of a poet than q historian.
This is proved by his dedication speech
at Arlington, Va, where he waxed
poetic over the early history Of Vir-
ginia and attributed to that State Ger
tain glories that do not belong to it.
Though, in he interest of truth, must
say that We of Ireland and England
were taught to believe Sir Walter
Raleigh had visited Virginia, had met
up with the Indians, learned to smoke
a pipe, and took the first consignment
of tobacco from the colonies to the
old country"
While O'Bannian did not want to be
drawn into what promises to be q Ma
tion-wide controversy, as a student Of
Gaelic he analysed the name OF Far
ley, traced it back to the O'Farleys Of
Tpperary and said that in the old
