They were In the land their feathered friends of the glimmer had so often told them about. There couldn't be any doubt about It. for It was as warm there as if It were sum mer.

Iitoa could see on the other side grew strange plants not one "f "Which Danny and Nanny knew'. It was all so new and all so strange that they were a little frlgh^pned. They ac tually were glad that they were pris oners In the great man bird. In a little cupboard In It was their own soft, comfortable nest, which they had built there way back on the Green Meadows so very far away. It was very comforting. It was the only homelike thing about them. The great man bird was pushed Into a shed and the doors closed. There In the darkness and the quiet Danny and Nanny had a chance to talk over all the wonderful things they had seen in their long journey. "What a big place the Great World Is.7 exclaimed Dandy at last. "I never really believed those wonderful stories our feathered neighbors used to tell us. No, sir, I never really did believe them. But now I guess they didn't tell us half they might have told. I wonder If we are going to stay here. I hope so. "I don't," whimpered. Nanny, who once more was beginning to be really homesick. "I hope this great man "\That a big place (he Great World is!" exclaimed Danny at last. bird will take us home again right away. We are prisoner* here any way. What good will it do us to be down in the Sunny South if we can not run around and see things close to? We can’t tell what the Sunny South is really like from way up In the air. I want to go back home, I do so.’’ "Pooh!" replied Danny. “I don't. Now I am down here I want to see everything there is to be seen. We may be prisoners now, but perhaps well be able to escape by and by. Anyway, we are safe artd we have Aplenty to eat. and It Is delightfully warm. Why It is just like the mid dle of summer down here. Perhaps we’ll find some more of our old friends. Perhaps Jenny ”Wren and Redwing the Blackbird and Chippy the Chipping Sparrow will get down here after awhile. I’m not going to wdrry. I'm just going to make the best of everything. Now I'm going to see if there isn’t some way of get ting out of here."
