wooded regions of the United States
and Canada.
Ruf1ed grouse are more widely

known than many of the game
birds, but this cannot be said about
their private affairs. The grouse is
quite shy, does not trust man and
has perfected camoufage of plum
age and ways of hiding from in
truders.
What seems such a pity is that
the grouse at one time did not fear
man. 1t is said by those with ex-
perience that the birds were quite
interested in the strange creatures
that appeared among them. But
the gun and overhunting have
caused the grouse to retreat and to
realize that friendliness with man
brought disaster.
The young grouse are apparently
born with the instinct of remote
ancestors. because they are so tame
and eager to be with you if they
are hatched artificially But those
born in the woods are as clever at
hiding as wee bob whites.
Drumming is accomplished by the
wings striking the log. So fast is
this action it cannot be seen by
the unaided eye. Three things are
the reason for the broadcast The
mere pleasure of good health and
satisfaction with the world, notif-
cation to grouse maidens that a
worthy suitor is seeking a mate and
a call to rivals for combat. Some
claim the drumming sound is from
wind rushing through the feathers.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
Whose heart is true and strong.
Who ne'er gives up to grim despair
VIII hnd some day that skies are blue
And all the world is bright and fair

-'i'" o'i 'ite NoiAA iS VI lsAt anu IAN
If you don't believe it just ask Mr..
and Mrs. Quack. They know. Ger
tainly the world never looked darker
for any one than it did for them
when the terrible gun of a hunter
broke Mr.. Quack's wing on the Big
River and ended all their dreams of
a home in the far Northland. Then,
through the help of Jerry Muskrat
they had found the lonely pond of
Paddy the Beaver deep in the
Green Forest. and there, because
their secret had been we'll kept,
presently they found peace and hope
and happiness. You see, the heart of
Mrs. Quack was true and brave and
strong. She was the kind to make
the best of things. and she at once
decided that if they couldn't have
their home where they wanted it
they would have it where they could
have it. She was determined that
they should have a home, anyway
and Paddy the Beavers little pond
was not such at bad place after all.
So she wasted no time. She ex-
amined every inch of the shore of
that little pond. At last, little back
from the water, she found place
to suit her, place so well hidden by
bushes that only the sharpest eyes
ever would find it. And little later
1t would be still harder to find. as
she well knew. for all about clumps
OF tall ferns were springing up. and
when they had fully unfolded not
even the keen eyes of Sammy Jay
looking down from a nearby tree
would be able to discover her secret.
There she made a nest on the
ground, a nest of dried grass and
leaves. and lined it with the softest
and most beautiful of Innings, down
plucked from her own breast. In it
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 un-
folding of leaves on bush and tree
and all the time dreaming beautiful
duck dreams of the babies which
would one day hatch from those
precious eggs. She never left them
save to get little food, and lust
enough exercise to keep her we'll and
strong, and when she 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 building 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 if danger should appear.
So he spent the long, beautiful days
lazily swimming about In the little
pond, gossiping with Paddy the
Beaver and taking the best care of
himself. The broken wing healed
and grew strong again, for it had
not been so badly broken after all
II he missed the company of others
Of his kind. which he would have
had during these long days Of wait

ing had they been able to reach their
usual nesting place in the far North
land, he never mentioned it.
After that first visit, of which Mr.
and Mrs. Quack knew nothing,
Farmer 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 was friend. Always
after he had left there was somee
thing good to eat near where he had
been sitting, for Farmer Browns boy
brought corn and oats and some
times handful of wheat.
He knew. and Mr. Quack knew
that he knew, that somewhere near
there was nest. but he did not try
to find it, much as he longed to. for
he knew that that would frighten
and worry Mrs. Quack. So the
dear, precious secret of Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack was kept. for not even Paddy
the Beaver knew where that nest
was, and in due time early one
morning Mrs. Quack proudly led
forth for their first swim 10 downy,
funny ducklings. Oh, those were
happy days, indeed, for Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack in the pond of Paddy the
Beaver. and in their JOY they quite
forgot for a time the terrible journey
which had brought them there.

NEW YORK, July 24.-While scat
tered rails and specialties continued
to reach for moderately higher
prices in today's stock market-a
number touched peak levels for the
past year or longer-there was
enough further profit cashing to
keep most leaders within bounds.
Good earnings statements were
helpful to individual issues and the
war news remained as a bulllsh
argument. Failure of the market as
a whole, however. to respond to op-
timistic battle bulletins caused many
customers to adjourn to the conserv-
ative ranks. Also the usual Satur-
day trimming of commitments for
the Sunday recess served as a
handicap.
Steels, motors, coppers and oils
were Indifferent from the start.
Trends were slightly irregular near
the close. Dealings slowed at inter-
walls and transfers for the two hours
ran to around 100000 shares.
The preferreds of Armour OF 1lll-
nois jumped several points each on

In First Half
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Net income of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. in the first half year
amounted to $2,02s, $1,000. an in
crease of $185,711.01 over the like
1912 period. it was disclosed in the
financial statement filed with the
Public Utilities Commission today.
Operating revenues climbed stead
lily to $ll,l77,061.64, a gain OF ST.
1l8,950.6s over last year. Operating
revenue deductions totaled $S,254,-
624.53, which were up $873, ,371 80.
Taxes Of $2,114,789.47 revealed an
increase of $252,418.67 in the six
months.
Net income of the power company
in June totaled $287 ,962.25, an in
crease over June, 1912, of $257, 1851.
This comparison, however, is mis-
leading. A year ago estimated
taxes for the first half year were put
into the June figures, leaving a net
income for the month of only slight
ly more than 100000. This tax ad-
justment largely explains the pres
ent gain.
Taxes in June this year required
$3l0,114.32, against 5000 ,600.25 in the
June report year ago. a decrease
in the month under review of $299, :
1858, or 40 per cent.

urday, July II, revealed practically

serve Bank of Richmond reported

81 per cent in Baltimore and 80 in a
