CAN YOU GUESS THESE?
Once upon a time there was a beautiful duckling whose name way Quick-Quack. Now Quick Quack lived on a farm where there were i all sorts of tasty things to eat. But she noticed that as soon as her older relations grew fine and plump, they disappeared in some queer fashion, and were no more to be seen waddling about the farm-yard. Quick Quack was puzzled about. this, and one day she waylaid the oldest rooster as he strutted past the duck-pand. He always acemed to know everything, so Quick- Quack thought he was the best one to ask what she wanted to know. "I sny, Mr. Cookerel," she quick- ed softly, where do all the fat ducks go to" Mr. Cockerel wag. ged his head wisely at her. "I! shouldn't ask if I were you," he | With a spoon,
eplied; you'll know soon enough sooner than you'll want to, 1 gucss, You are growing a fine duck yourself." Bet Quick-Quack meant, to have a plain answer, so every day she worried Mr. Cockerel with the same question, till at last he lost patience and said crossly, "Well, if you must ask awkward questions, you must put up with an answer that will pain you. You ducks are fel, and fed, and fed, till you're fit enough to be killed and--caten !"...

For a moment poor Quick Quack was so breathless with horror that she hadn't a single quack left in her. But all at once happy thought came into her head and she gave a chuckling “Q-u-n-as-ck," "Well," said Mr. Cockerel, "laugh while you can by all means, hut I can't see where the joke comes in myself." And he began a dignified scratching for his fusey hens. But Quick Quack gave him a playful poke with her benk. D'you think I'm going to stay here to be eaten, old Sober-sides," he said. No, no, I'm off to join my cou- sins, the wild ducks, They mayn't get the nice food that we do here, bat rd rather live plain than he enoked for somebody else's dinner." So mying, with a joyful fan af ber wing, Quick-Quack was off to the river and freedom. Perhaps a rat or fox captured her later. Mr. Cockerel wonders.
