1914 that the temptation always
arose to qualify it, but that he
was resisting this impulse.
In answers to questions
whether he had been satisfied
with the progress of the war
against Germany during the
past year - 1913 - and if the
year had been up TO expecta-

way to answer that was for

Late in the afternoon Peter Rab-
bit hurried over to the Smiling Pool,
lipperty- -lipperty-lip. AS he drew
near he could see that Sammy Jay
was already there, sitting in the Big
Hickory Tree.
ITS all right!' shouted Sammy,
as Soon as Peter was near enough to
hear. Il found Blacky the Grow,

rs Mrs. Quack here. yet?" asked
Peter, quite out of breath with run
ming.
NO" replied Sammy. II hope
nothing has happened to her"
Farmer Browns boy has been
here and scattered some more corn
among the rushes," spoke up Jerry
Muskrat. who was sitting on the Big
Rock. Have you thought of any
plan to help Mrs. Quack?"
Yes" replied Peter. Then he
hastened to add. Il mean Sammy
Jay has"
Huh" replied Jerry Muskrat.
"Whenever did Sammy Jay plan
anything but mischief? If Mrs.
Quack has got to trust to him, she
is more likely to get into trouble
than out Of it."
Sammy started to scream angrily
at Jerry, but just then he saw Mrs.
Quack coming from the direction Ct
the Big River and forgot his anger.
Mrs, Quack came swiftly, for she Is
very strong Of wing. She saw Peter
sitting on the bank OF the Smiling
Pool and she felt sure that the way

was safe. But she had suffered too
much In the past to trust anything
but her own eyes. and SO she circled
around high In the air once or twice
just as she had the night before. At
last, sure that there was no danger,
she few down and splashed into the
Smiling Pool.
Have you found Mr.. Quacx?"
asked Peter eagerly.
Mrs. Quack shock her head sor-
rowfully. NO" she said, and her
voice was very sad. There have
been hunters with terrible guns hid
ing on the banks Of the Big River
all day, and I've had to keep right
in the middle of it. I've called and
called until haven't any voice left.
I've about given up hope. I'm sure
Mr.. Quack was killed by those ter
rible guns. Oh, dear! Oh. dear!
What shall I do? What shall do?"
Poor Mrs. Quack was 50 heart
broken that even Sammy Jay. who
pretends that he isn't the least bit
softhearted, turned away his head
to hide suspicious moisture in his
eyes. Then Mrs. Quack began to
talk again.
One thing I did do. even If
didn't find Mr.. Quack." said she. Il
saved some other ducks from those
terrible guns. saw them flying up
the Big River and / called to them
and warned them not to 90 near the
banks If hadn't they would have
gone right where We did when Mr..
Quack was shot. They wanted me
to 60 on with them, but couldn't

Farmer Browns boy has left
some more corn for you." Jerry
Muskrat broke In.
Instantly Mrs. Quack was all sus-
picion. She swan about nervously
and seemed ready to ny at the least
strange sound. He has put 1t there
to try to fool me. He thinks III stay
around here If find plenty to eat,
and one Of the times when come

said she.
You're wrong. Mrs. Quack,'
spoke up Sammy Jay, who had kept
still an unusually long time for him.

full song and manner indicates they
are fully satisfied with the spot
they have chosen.
From stem to stern, these SPAR
rows measure slightly over 5 inches.
They are clad in regulation sparrow
livery. The coat is of deep brownish
slate-gray, a pleasant contrast to
the white below. The bright brown
eyes look larger because of the white
eye ring. The streak of white on
the cheek joins the white of the
throat. The small bill clicks EN-
GENTLY upon insects. The strong
toes clamp tightly about twigs when
the hunter pauses between meal
time and song service. The SPAR
row is sturdily built insect catcher.
There is a cheerful ditty that is
broadcast during business hours,
and there is a love song reserved
for courtship madness. The bride
is the builder of the nursery. The
flrst bassinet is not so expertly con-
structed as the one she fashions
the second year.
Usually, she locates it 3 feet from
the ground In some handy bush.
The outside walls are made of veg
etable fiber. weed stems and grasses.
For the inside walls, she selects fine
grasses and hair.
On soft mattress, she arranges
her three to four pale greenish- h-blue
eggs. They are speckled In reddish
brown around the larger end.
BY the time the youngsters are
ready to leave the nursery. they
have acquired a dull gray plum
age streaked with black. The un-
der parts are q yellowish bun,
while the chest and sides Of throat
are made quite attractive by wide
black streaks. Their eyes Of brown
have grayish white rings about
them. Their wings and tail are
marked like their mothers. Next
sprtng they win have their first
nuptial plumage.

This letter cited a communi-

treason by order of the National
committee. The communique
stated that Darlan was a victim
of an assault inspired by those
who did not pardon him for taxi
ing up arms against Germany.
BONNER de La Ghapeiie pro-
tested strongly against the impli-
cation that his son was a tool
of the Axis.

he wrote.

ALGIERS, Dec. 22-(P)-An
anguished father, seeking TO
clear the name OF his son who
year ago Christmas eve end
ed the life of Admiral Jean
Francois Darlan in a furry of
gunfire, has lifted some of the
secrecy thrown over the death
of the little man who tried TO be
all things to all men.
One year OF untiring effort by
Eugene BONNER de La Chapelle,
newspaperman, has won partial
vindication of the name of his
20-year-old son, Fernand Bon
nier de La Chapelle, frail uni
YerSiiY student who died before
a firing squad.
AS the result of the fathers
appeal, the Justice Ministry of
the French Committee of Ma
tional Liberation has issued a
communique saying re-eXamin-
alton of the case revealed that
the youth had not been connect
cd with the Axis.
MAY BECOME MARTYR
II leaders of the French under
ground movement have their
way the youth soon may be
hailed as a martyr in the fight to
liberate France.
Gradually through the year,
these facts have become self-ap-
parent, although the full story
may not be told until the many
persons involved in the plot are
dead:
!. The fierce emotional
idealism of the young student,
who was an ardent follower of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle. was used
by older men who have been
brought TO trial.
q These men supplied young
BONNER dc La Chapelle with
gun, and the opportunity TO
shoot Darlan.

riedly and shot within AZ hours
OF the ASA Sslnation.

giers, 10 the effect that the as
sassination was Royalist plot

One half-hour before the
young student was LED into the
prison yard at dawn the day af
ter Christmas TO be shot, he
wrote a letter 10 his father IN
which he said:

In the swift changing politi-
cal events that followed, the
gray-haired father, who won
