THE HAPPY DUCKS THE HOUSE
WARMING
Hy Farmer Smith
It often happens that a gTeat misfortune
proves the beit thing that could come to
any one : at least, that Is the way tho Crow
family thought.
Mrs, Crow's broken leg soon healed,
thanks to the sk'llful care of Father Duck,
while the two families became the very
best of frlonds.
Soon, however, Mrs. Crow began to get
uneasy, so she paid: ,
"David, I nm very anxious to have you
select a nice place for our new houe. Win
ter will soon bo hero and we have no time
to lose. I hopo this time you will find a
good strong branch for our nest In a tree
that Is not finite so tall, so thnt wo may
neer have an accident of this kind ngaln."
"I will go right out now, my dear, and
decide where to build, and It will bo as
near our friends, tho Ducks, as possible. 1
do not see what we would have done had
It not been for their kindness," replied
Mr Crow.
"I think of It very often," replied Mrs.
Cfow gratefully, "and I hopo tho tlmo will
come when wo can prove our friendship."
That tlmo did come sooner than they ex
pected, but In tho meanwhile their new
home was decided upon. A flno stiong
oung oak tree wns selected nnd soon the
Duck nnd Crow families, except Mrs. Crow,
were busy building tho house. Even the
babies coul( gather leaves nnd tiny sticks.
The greatest excitement of all was watch
ing Mrs. Crow try to walk on her lame leg
for the first time, followed by tho surprise
at seeing her fly as well as ever up to
her pretty new, home.
"I am Just as linppy as I was In the
old home, only I miss my former neighbors,"
she said. "We ,do not know any of the
woodland people here " i
Mr. Crow winked nt Mr. Duck nnd Mr.
Duck waddled home to see Mrs. Duck nnd
that very afternoon something happened!
And this Is what It was:
How happy the Crows were In their new
home nnd how glad eerybody was to bo
nt the housewarmlng, which was quite a
surprise party! Many were the good wishes
and words of welcome spoken by tho guests
to their new neighbors!
After a while Mrs. Crow gave an anxious
nod to her liusband, and after they had
talked together a, few minutes, they sent
for Mrs. Duck.
"It will not do to let all these people go
home without something to eat," whispered
Mrs. Crow to Mrs. Duck, "but we haven't
half enough to go around today. Do tell
me what to do."
"Don't let that worry jou for one minute,
my dear," whispered Mrs. Duck cheerily.
"Did you think we would Invite such a
crowd as this to meet you and forget the
refreshments? You just go ahead and look
your prettiest do keep, everybody singing,
for Mr. Duck has gone over to the farm.
Our good friends BIllyBumpus and Jona
than Goose nre over there and they are to
send us a bag of grain and oh ! lots and
lots of good things.
"Oh, my!" exclaimed Mrs. Crow.
"I will hae all the children set the table
down by the brook and we will feed them
there while we older ones have our re
freshment right here under the trees," said
Mrs. Duck.
Mrs. Crow was unable to speak, she was
so full of gratitude, and try as she could
to stop It, a little tear of thankfulness stole
Into her eye.
Soon Mr. Duck appeared with a big bag
of grain and everybody had n wonderful
feast of the choicest things the farm pro
lded. Billy Bumpus and Jonathan Goose were
unable to attend, but sent a little note on
nn oak leaf telling how very sorry they
w ere.
As Father Duck went among tno guests
he was laughing and laughing, but no one
could make him say wnat he was laugh
ing at.
The feast was a great success such a
cawing and quacking! tho Crows wero
blissfully happy and tho Ducks had enough
to eat for once.
Just as the sun went down back of tho
hills the whole chorus of birds sang "Auld
Lang Sync," for many would begin their
jpurney south the next day.
"My, what wonderful muslo the birds
are making tonight !" cried Miss Lucy, down
at tho big farm. "I wonder what It's all
about?"
After all was quiet and the Ducks wero
home once more. Mother Duck said:
"Father, what wero you laughing about
when you came back from the farm?"
"I was wondering how long It would bo
before you asked me that." replied Father
Duck, laughing. "Well, It was the funniest
thing' I ever saw In my life If It hadn't
been for Jonathan Goose the Joko would
have been on us."
Tomorrow night Father Duck will tell
just what happened at the farm, and don't
YOU mis" a good laugh.

He gestured at tho groups gathered nlong

the Settlement men by the ncwcomerB.
Stern knew tho day was saved. Deep
gratitude upwelled In his henrt.
"Nothing that I can ever do will repay

once, a sudden hope thrilled him, nnd he
cried:
"Oh, Hlgvln, one thing more! Tell me.
In your long Journey fioni the brink, have
ye chanced to see n cleft mountain with
two peaks on either hand?"
"You mean, master "
"A mountain : a high Jut of land, with two
tops, side by sldo llko two grave-mounds?"
Itlgxin stood a moment in thought, his
soot-smeared brows wrinkled with the ef
fort of trjlng to remember Then all
at onco ho looked up quickly with a smile.
"Yen, master '" he cried, "We saw such !"
"Where, where? For God's sake, where
was It?" ejaculated Stern, gripping him by
the arm with a hand that shook with sud
den Keen emotion.
"Where was It. master? Thus one day's
marching." ,
Itlgvln wheeled nnd pointed to north
westward.
"And c can find It ngaln?"
"Truly, yes. Why. master?"
"There, near that mountain, lies tho
wreck of the lyn b'hotu, the lllng boat.
Itlgvln! Lead us thither' We must llnd It.
And then Settlement CHITs"'
Through all his exhaustion nnd his pa'n
he knew thnt now the goal was close nt
hand. And beyond toll, suffering and hnrd
ehlp once more beckoned prosperity and
peace and love.
CHAPTKB XXXIII
rive Years Later
IONG before da break that morning, the
J thriving village of Settlement Cliffs,
capital and market town of the New Hopo
Colony, was awako and astir.
For tho great festival day was nt hnnd.
the fifth nnnlvorsary of the founding of
the colony, to be celebrated by the arrival
of the last Mprucaans from the depths of
the Abyss.
Tim old caves, now abandoned save for
grain, fruit and fish storehouses were closed
nnd silent. No labor was going forward
there. The nets hung dry. From tho forges,
smithies and workshops along the river
bank at the rapids arose no sounds of the
accustomed Industry.
The road and bridge builders wero Idle :
and from tho farms now dotting the rich
brule across the river eacn bnug sione
house, tiled with red or green, standing
among Its crops and growing orchards the
Folk were coming In to town for the feast
day. The broad wooden trcstle-hrldge across
the New Hope echoed with hollow verbera
tlons beneath the measured tread of two
and four ox teams hauling creaking wains
heaped high with meats, fruits, casks of
elder, generous wines, nnd all the richness
of that virgin soil.
On tho summer morning air rose laughter
from tho youths and maidens coming In
afoot. Sounded tho cries of the teamsters,
tho barklpg of dogs, the mingled murmur
of speech English speech again; and tho
fresh wind, bearing away a fine, golden
dust from the long roads, swayed the palm
tops nnd the fern trees with a gentlo and
caressing touch
All up and down the broad, well-paved
street of the village a street lined with
stono cottages, bordered with luxuriant
tropic gardens and branches Into a dozen
smaller thoroughfares a happy throng was
Weil clad In plain yet substantial weaves
from the vlnc-festooned workshops below
tho cliff, abundantly fed, vigorous nnd
strong, not one showed sickness or de
formity such as had scourged the human
race In the old evil days of long ago.

you attack us first. Nothin' can bo fairer than that."
Loose-belted garb, sandals nnd n com
pleto absence of hats all had their part In
this abounding health. Open-air llfo and
latlonnl food completed thn work
No drugs, save three or four essential
ones, and no poisons, ever had crept In to
menaco life. Wine there wns, rich and un
fermented ; but the curse of nlcohol existed
not. And In the Law It was forever banned.
On tho broad porch of their home, a
boulder-bullt cottage facing the broad plaza
whero palms shaded the graveled paths,
and purple, jellow nnd scarlet blooms lured
humming birds nnd butterflies, stood
Beatrice and Allan.
Both were smiling In the clear June sun
light of that early morning. A cradle locked
by Gesafam a llttlo older nnd more tient,
et still haidy gao glimpses of another
iiltvo branch, this one a gill
Tho piazza was littered nt Its farthest
end with serviceable, home-made play
things; but Allan, Junior, bad no use for
them today. Out there on the lawn of tho
plaz.i he was rolling and lunnlng with a
troop of other children many, many chil
dren. Indeed.
As Beatrice and Allan watched the play
they smiled ; and through the man's nrm
crept the woman's hand, nnd with tho con
fidence of perfect trust she leaned her head
against his shoulder.
"Whoever could havo thought." said he
at last, "that all this really could come
true? In those dark hours when the Horde
liad all but swallowed us, when, we fell Into
the Abyss, when those terrinie auvemures
lacked our souls down beside the Sunken
Sea, and later, here, when everything
seemed lost who could have forseen this?"
"You could nnd did!" she nnswered.
"From the beginning you planned every
thing, Allan. It was all foreseen and noth
ing ever stopped you, just as the future be
ond this time Is all foreseen bv you and
must and shall bo as you plan It!"
"Shall be, with your help !" he murmured,
and silence came again. Together they
u.'iinlipil ihn holldav crowd gradually con
gregating In the vast plaza where once the
palisade had been. Now the old wooden
stockade had long vanished. Cleared land
and farms extended far beyond even New
port Heights, whero tho I'aulllac had first
come to earth at New Hope.
Well-kept roads connected them all with
the settlement. And for some miles to
southward tho primeval forests had been
vanquished bv the ever-extending hand of
this new, awlftly growing race.
"With my help nnd theirs!" she rejoined
presently. "Never forget, dear, how wonder
fully they've taken hold, how they've
labored, developed and grown In every
way. You'd be surprised really you would
If you came In contact with them as I do
In tho. schools, to see the marvelous way
they learn old and young alike. It's a
miracle, that's all!"
"No, not exactly," he explained. "It's
atavism. These people or ours were reau
civilized In essence, despite all the overlying
nges of barbarism. Civilization was latent
In them, that's all Just as all the children
born here under normal conditions havo
reverted to pigmented hkln and hair and
eyes, so even tho grown-ups have thrown
back to civilization. Two or three years at
the outside havo put back the coloring
matter in every newcomer's iris and epi
dermis. Just so "
A sudden and quickly growing tumult In
the plaza and down the long, broad street.
Interrupted him. He saw a waving of
hands, a general craning of necks, a drift
toward tho north side of the square, the
river side.
The shouts and cheers Increased and
cries of "They como! They come'" rose on
the morning air.
"Already?" exclaimed Allan In surprise.
"These new machines certainly do surprise
mo with their speed nnd power. In the old
days tho I'aulllac wouldn't have been here
before noon from the Abvss!"
Together, Beatrice and he walked round
the wide piazza to the rear of the bun-

edging the cliff. In Its broad garden stood
the stable, whero half a dozen horses
caught on the northern savannas and care
fully tamed disputed their master's favor
with tho touring car he had built up from
halt a dozen partly ruined machines In At
lanta and other cities.
Up the cliff still roared the thunder of the
rapids, today untamed by the many tur
bines and power plants along the shore.
But louder than the river rose the tumult
of tho rejoicing throng: "They come! They
come !"
"Where?" questioned Beta. "See them,
b0"There! Look'! .How swift! My trained
men can outfiy me now more luck to
He' pointed far to northwestward, over
the wide and rolling sea oi nnreii, in
dotted that had Bprung up with marvelous
fecundity in the wake of the great fire.
Looking now out over tho very same
country where, five years and a month be
fore, she had strained her tear-blnded eyes
for some sign of Allan's return, Beatrice
suddenly beheld three high, swift little
gpecks, skimming up the heavens with In
credible veiocuy.
"Hurrah!" Bhouted Allan, boyishly.
Here they come the last of my Folk!"

Stripes three times In signal of welcome.
And already, ere the salute was done, the
rushing planes had slipped full half the dls
tance from the place where they, had first
been sighted.
A messenger ran down the gravel drive-
way and saluted.
