You see. be felt that he had heard
only part of MIS-. Quacks story,
and he was dreaClullV afraid that
she would get away before he could
hear the rest. With the first bit of
daylight Mrs Quack swan out from
her hiding place among the brown
rushes. II looked to Peter as if she
sat up on the end of her tan as she
stretched her neck and wings Just
as far as she could, and he wanted to
laugh right out. Then she quickly
ducked her head under water two
or three times so that the water
rolled down over her back, and
again Peter wanted TO laugh. But
he didn't He kept perfectly still
Mrs Quack shook herself and then
began to carefully dress her foa hers

shudder to think of them They
are large, triangle and serrated,
and there are "a to 26 rows in each
Jaw.
AS far as commercial Importance
is concerned, this shark has little
value. Occasionally, it is taken by
fisherman on the Pacific Coast from
San Diego southwark.
II is considered the strongest and
most yoracious of all sharks and
most accounts of attacks on man
mention this species. There are
reliable reports OF l00-pound sea
lion California being found in the
stomach Of the great white shark,
also Newfoundland dog tAustralla)
and a horse (also Australia. these
animals have fallen from a ship, OF
course. Ordinarily, this shark feeds
on large fish and other marine
vertebrates 1t attacks man simply
because it will try to capture every
thing in the way of food that is in
its path.
There are % kinds of sharks. This
one is a member OF the mackerel
family, as is also the bonito shark
and the mackerel shark Of Cali
fornia, and several other species
which are found throughout the

who cannot afford tuna, salmon and
halibut. When shark meat is pro-
perly prepared. it is said to be deli
cious. 1t is often sold under the
name. "tenderloin of SOLE" and en-
joyed.
There is considerable prejudice
among people about eating shark
meat, and that is because there
have been so many false tales about
them being man eaters. Now if
sharks had to depend for their liv-
ing on eating people. there would be
no sharks in our waters. AS a mat
ter Of fact. when any foreign object
enters the waters where fish abound
they instinctively give it the right of
way.
Since the discovery that shark
livers have such an abundance of
valuable oil, these fellows have been
hunted. and the question has arisen.
Will the sharks hold out? Shark
fins are much appreciated by the
Chinese. Filipinos and other Orien-
tai peoples, who pay high prices for
them. The demand is greater than
the supply. and it matters not what
shark the fins belong to, SO long as
they are large.

Big River yesterday morning little
while before Little Joe Otter told me
about the Smiling Pool Ever since
we started for our home in the Far
North, I have been fearing that
something of this kind might hap
pen. / ought to be on my way there
now, but what is the use without Mr..
Quack? Without him I would be
all alone up there and wouldn t
have any home"
Won't you tell me all that has
happened since you started on your
long Journey" asked Peter. Per
haps some of us can help you"
I'm afraid you can't replied
Mrs. Quack sadly, but III tell you
all about it. so that you may know
just how thankful you ought to
feel that you do not have to suffer
what some of us do"

he to himself, II don't see what any
one wants to waste so much time on
their clothes for!" You know, Peter
doesn't waste any time on his
clothes In fact. he doesn't seem
to care bit how he looks. He hasn't
learned yet that it rs pays to
be as neat and clean -5sible and
that you must think we'll of yourself
if YOU want others to think we'll Of
you
When at last Mrs Quack had
taken a final shower bath and ap-
peared satisfied that she was look
ing her best, Peter opened his
mouth to ask her the questions he
was so fun Of but closed it again
as he remembered people are usually
better natured when their stomachs
are full, and Mrs. Quack had not yet
brcakfaSted SO he waited as pa
tiently rs he could. which wasn't
patiently at all. At last Mrs. Quack
tlni he'd her breakfast, and then she
had to make her to let all over
again, Then Peter hoped to the
edge OF the bank where she would
see him
"Good morning, Mrs Quack." said
he, very politely. Il hope you hsd a
good rest and are feeling very well
this morning"
Thank you" replied Mrs Ouack
I'm feeling rs well as could be eX-
pcCtcd, In fact, I'm feeling better
than ] have felt for some time, in
spite OF the sore place made by that
terrible gun yesterday. You see, I
have had a good rest and two square
meals. and that IS something !
haven't had since goodness knows
when. This is very nice place
Let me see. what is it YOU call it?"
/ The Smiling Poo!' - said Peter.
That's a good name for it re-
turned Mrs. Quack. IF only I
could be sure that none of these
hunters with terrible guns would
find me here, and if only Mr. Quack
were here. ! would be content TO
stay a while A. the mention of

Surprise Word of the Week

Please read this sentence aloud
There's a mystery at the factory
In the history of the battery.
How many trees did you speak
of? Four mis-tree. fac-tree
his-tree, bat-tree? Yes, that is the
way almost every one pronounces
the words. But a glance at the die
tionary shows that mystery, factory,
history, battery should have three
syllables, thus mis-ter-y, factory
history, battery, and that the
20" of factory and history is long,
as in hoe. toe
OF course. such telescopings as

speech and in dialects; but public
speakers. broadcasters, ministers,
etc, will wisely give to each word
three distinct syllables.
