her secret
There she made nest on the
ground, a nest of dried grass and
leaves, and lined 1t with the softest
and most beautiful of Innings, down
plucked from her own breast. In 1t
she laid 10 eggs. Then came long
weeks OF patient sitting on them,
watching the wonder Of growing things
about her, the bursting into bloom Of
shy wood flowers, the unfolding of
leaves on bush and tree, the springing
up in night of queer mushrooms,
which people call toadstools, and all
the time dreaming beautiful duck

day hatch from those precious eggs.

did leave them she always carefully
pulled soft down over them to keep
them warm while she was away.
Mr.. Quack knew all about that nest,
though he had taken no part in build
ing it, and had no share in the care
OF those eggs. He was very willing that
she should do all the work, and
thought it quite sufficient that he
should be on guard to give warning
II danger should appear. So he spent
the long, beautiful days lazily SWIM
ming about in the little pond, gossip
ing with Paddy the Beaver, and taking
the best care Of himself. The broken

So she wasted no time. She exam

her, place so well hidden by bushes
that only the sharpest eyes ever would
find 1t. And little later 1t would be

After that first visit, of which Mr..

Browns Boy came often to the pond
of Paddy, and was content to sit
quietly on the shore and watch Mr..
Quack, so that Mr. Quack grew quite
used to him and did not fear him at
all. In fact, after the first few times
he made no attempt to hide, for he
discovered that Farmer Browns Boy

Pale Bat
(AntrOzous pallidus).
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
TROM time to time We have told
- the life story Of one or another
Of the members Of the strangest
4 animal group In the world, the
bats. There are many Of them, night
workers, self-ef1acing, and allies OF
the farmer. However, their way OF
living has caused much speculation
and many false stories.
What troubles 50 many Is the va
riety of forms that exists among these
mammals and their habits. There
are known today about 1900 species,
not all Of which can be said to be
known intimately. Bats do not lend
themselves in some ways to as thor
olgh investigation as many other AMI
mails do.
These creatures are known all over
the world. The largest ones are found
in the tropics. In this country. be-
cause OF the temperature. only the
smaller ones have been able to cope
with the cold weather. Those finding
themselves In . climate that Is too
cold for insects. the bats chief food,
wrap about themselves their wings
and sleep until the spring arrives, and
with 1t their favorite food. Some,
instead Of sinking into deep stupor
and fasting for months, migrate to
SUMMER climes. This would almost in
dicate that the bat had used some
thing higher than instinct.
This fellow, with the beautiful beady
black eyes, has Just awakened from q
most refreshing sleep and Is ready to
60 out for q bit Of food, refreshing
drink OF water and perhaps q few
words Of gossip or friendly exchange
of greetings with neighbor.
The desert region Of Eastern Cali
fornia, Nevada, Arisona, New Mexico
and Western Texas appeals to the
members Of this group. They are
about the size Of our common brown
bat, with large, sensitive ears, . coat
Of grayish-white and intelligent black
eyes.
Contrary to belief, bats can see in
the daylight and will fly away to
more secluded spot II disturbed Be-
yond slight hiss, there is no evidence
that the animal Is greatly put out

set The covering Of the body Il q
soft. silky fur, the wings are COM
posed Of tough, leatherlike mem
brane, or skin which extends from
the sides Of the body to the tip Of
the feet.
The very slender legs are not meant
for walking; the bat. If It tries to walk,
bitches along in an awkward fashion.
The front feet are used as hands,
the hind ones are equipped with sharp
claws for hooks and to hold fast to
rough surfaces In order to permit the
animal to swing its whole weight
when asleep. The wings are either
wrapped about the slender little body
Is q cape or folded closely and neatly.
Usually there are twins, and they
are about as quaint looking as any
infants Of the outdoors you will fnd.
They are willing to be friendly and
love to sample with their wee pink
tongue. They cling fast with their
little arms to their mother a. she sails
through the air. When they are too
heavy she hangs them upside down on
. branch until her return.
Owls are fond Of bats, and since
both are night workers, they have
sight that can enable the one to hunt
and the other to evade It's enemies.
