"It wasn't much .of a ThanksgiTlnir

"What's thatr T. Paer asked doubt

rjTHHKE was great excitement in the
X pond of Paddy the Beaver , great
excitement. Honker the Goose and his
k flock bad arrived from the Far North.
Y "Welcome, Honker! 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

get here you will have no chance. The

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

to have some visitors this winter saf-

there is food here for them. If not they
will keep on until they find enough to

"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.
