apart. Then with his bill he
smoothed the feathers into place
under it. He reached over and
smoothed the feathers Of his back.
He plunged his head underwater
and lifted it suddenly, sending the
water rolling down over him. But
never once did he lift that left wing.
It knoMsNhnts the matter! That
fellow ll4s. .heen shot! Some hunter
has broken that wing" muttered
Farmer Bro~n's boy savagely.
That's why the poor thing didn't
fly away. He didn't fly because he
can't fly. And men call that sort
Of thing sport. BAH"
Just then he heard a whistle Of
wings and looked up to see Mrs.
Quack returning to the Smiling Pool
When she saw Mr.. Quack she did
not hesitate and circle around over
the Smiling Pool as usual, but
dropped right down beside him at
once. Then she began to fuss over
him Just as q mother hen fuses
over her chickens. Farmer. Browns
boy felt little lump in this throat
and swallowed hard. "She knows
something Is the matter with him,
and she has been hanging around
here just on his account" thought
he. Hes her mate and she loves
him just the way We folks love each
other. And I've heard folks say
that animals and birds don't have
any feelings. just wish they could
see these two now. I wish I could
understand duck talk. II I could, I
probably would hear all about what
happened to get Mr.. Quack in such
a fix. Also, I probably would learn
just what ducks think Of men; so,
perhaps it's just as well that can
not understand"
In that matter Farmer Browns
boy was quite right. His ears would
have burned If he could have under
stood what Mr.. and Mrs. Quack
were saying. You see, they were try
ing to decide what they should do.
In their hearts was the home call
from the far northland, SO strong
that they fairly ached with longing.
But Mr.. Quack could not fiy. all
because Of a two-legged creature
called man who had tried to kill Mr..
Quack. not because Mr.. Quack had
ever done him any harm or could do
him any harm, not because he really
needed Mr. Quack for a dinner, for
he didn't, but for what he called
fun. 1t was this that made Mr.. md
Mrs. Quack actually look on all two
legged creatures called men as
enemies who didn't even know the
meaning Of fairness.
From way over toward the Big
River there sounded the bang of q
gun. Farmer Browns boy saw how
instantly fear, great fear. took pos
session of Mr.. and Mrs. Quack. They
stretched their heads up, listening.
and fear was In their eyes. They
swan about nervously, and 1t was a
long time before they settled down

In comfort as they had been before.
The face Of Farmer Browns boy
grew thoughtful. He was beginning
to understand little Of what life
mlet be. like with . terrible. fear
always. ready to take possession at
the least unknown sound.
1T must be awful" Thought he.
1T must be just awful never. to know
when you are safe. I used to, think
1t was fun to hunt birds and animals
with my gun, but never thought Of
how they must feel. It must be bad
enough Just to never dare 90 near
anything for fear Of danger hiding
there, but what must 1t be like to be
hurt like that duck out there? He
not only has to suffer all the fear
that the other one does, but also
the worse fear Of knowing that he
can't ny from danger If he sees it..
And then all the time he probably
Is suffering pain from that broken
wing. And men call 1t sport, which
is = mans way of saying fun, to
frighten and hurt helpless and beau-
tiful little people like those two out
there! I'm almost ashamed that

Anyway, when I am Z man I'm
going to do something to protect
the little people who cannot protect
themselves: see II I don't! I wish I
could catch that duck without scar
ing him to death. II could, I be-
leve I could flx that wing, Just as
I did the little Bob Whites last fall.
I wish I could. But perhaps Old
Mother Nature will take care OF 1t.
I guess I'll have to be content with
seeing that he gets plenty to eat.
