"It wasn't much .of a ThanksgiTlnir for the street car company I bet," Ma ' mused. ' "I bet the fellah that's got ' r.

"I wondered the aitine thing for a mlnit." " ." "What was It then?" Ma demanded. "Have you been lesrntn' this synchetlc V - psychology stuff T" i "What's thatr T. Paer asked doubt a, fully.

Wothln'. doln' with that stuff T. r Paer said uneasily. That'd be unfair competition nd unconstitutional."

Welcome to the Green Forest 1 What is the news? Tell us the news i" .shrieked Blacky the Crow ' from the top of Paddy's house, to which he had flown, that he might be near the - travelers. -I Paddy swam over close to them. 'I'm Clad to have you back here, ever so glad." said he. "I was afraid you might not stop." 'The Idea!" exclaimed Honker, look lng a bit hurt "Don't I always stop J wnen i come this way 7- nave I ever, failed?" "No," replied Paddy. "But, Mr. and Mrs. Quack and their family left this morning for the Sunny South and though they were safe here and had plenty to eat they couldn't be induced to stay another day because cold weather is coming and they must keep ahead of It. I thought perhaps you might feel the same way and keep right on." . : "Caw, caw, caw, caw I The news tell ns the news !" ehrieked Blacky. Honker turned bis back to Blacky. "The Quacks were right and it is high time for them to be on their way.? said he to Paddy. "Rough Brother North Wind and Jack Frost are not far behind me and if you haven't stored away plenty of flood I . ha ge1 N . col advise you to. waste no time.. Once they get here you will have no chance. The nter is going to be long, hard and d." TCaw, caw, caw! That's no news." Interrupted Blacky. ' "You didn't have tot coma here to tell : us that." Honker paid no attention to Blacky. "Never have I seen such thick coats as Old Mother Natsra has given those who must remain in; the Far North,? ha continued to Paddy, i "Tour relatives be gad to eat their food supply earlier than X ever knew them to before and their food' piles are larger. Feathered folk who seldom get as far south as this are Jready moving In this direction in search of food, for lit is reported to be icarce already up there. Tou are likely to have some visitors this winter saf- som seen here. That is,, you will if there is food here for them. If not they will keep on until they find enough to last tnera through, .Speaking of food.

"That waa what I waa thinking of before you butted in." . Ma admitted. "What do you think about ttr . : "Nothin doin'," T. Paer Insisted, pos itively. "That'd bo ex cathedraL" "Kx cathedral? M& repeated in pua slement "Them boys wouldn't know a church if the steeple fell on 'em." - "Who said anything about a church?" T. Paer asked disgustedly. ."What you needs to -team's a little law." "The fellah that learns a little law gets into a lot of hot water most usual." Ma responded. "What does( it mean if you know so much." "Outside the lodge," T. Paer In formed' her. "It's where a fellah that belengn to a lodge waits round the cor ner after the game's over 'nd makes the other fellah blow back with what he bluffed him out of." "I don't see but what that's Justice." Ma insisted. "Nobody's got any right to win anything by bluffing the other follah out of it." "It's the game," T. Paer' argued: "M a guy's got four pink ones 'nd draws to his nerve he can get away with it If be bets 'em right nd they ain't no limit on the game." "But It ain't fair." Ma contended. "Nobody's got a right to take another man's ' money unless he comes by It straight" "A bobtalled flush beat a straight as long as it ain't called," T. Paer said didactically. "7167' he added reflec tively, "it takes a lot of nerve to call 'em sometlmea" "Just the same," Ma persisted, "I don't see why we can't have five-cent street car rides in Portland if they have 'em in Chicago." "It ain't done," T. Paer objected. "It always takes us a couple of years to get caught up with the fashions back East" "That's right." Ma reflected, "They had rolled stockings quite a while be fore we got "em here." "Well." T. Paer chuckled, "if that was what the boys up to Salem had to de cide about I'll bet a hat they'd be unan imous it was stare decisis." "Whafs that?" Ma asked suspiciously. "If you . can't tell from the sound." T. Paer Answered Judicially, "you'll have to ask Fred Williams to tell you." Honker Brought "Welcome, Honker! Welcome to the Green Forest I" wonder if those Quacks ate all the food here? We have been flying since day light and need a good meal." "Don't worry." cried Blacky the Crow. 'Farmer Brown's Boy waa over here today.- H didn't-know the Quacks had left" "What has Farmer Brown's Boy got to do with the matter of a good din ner r demanded Honker. "Just swim over to the other side of the pond and. look la the water near the shore and youTl find out." retorted Blacky with a chuckle. . Honker looked at Blacky suspiciously. He knew Black of old and his fond ness for playing tricks. "Blacky is. right." said Paddy. "I guess youll find plenty to eat over there. The Quacks diu, anyway, though, what it was I don't know. Bark, good, ten der bark, is enough for m.e. And that reminds me that I am wasting time; I must get back to work if Jack Frost la really so near." "Ho is right at my tafl feathers. At least he was when we left this morn ing, and though he isn't as fast a trav eler as I am he isn't far behind Us," re plied Honker, and started over toward the further shore, leaving his flock to await the' result -Two minutes later they were all eagerly- searching the bot .torn for the nice yellow corn Farmer Brown's Boy had scattered there for the quacks, and gabbling happily and hols lly as they enjoyed the best dinner they bad had for many days.
