JIA.L at. CHAPTER 111. The King of the Wild Geese. (Peggy ! summoned to Blrdland to deal with tha Giant of tha Woods, who hea gone mad. The Oiant drives the blrdt from their couocll hall to the aafety of the marshes.) BROAD barshes. covered with a thick gowth of wild ice, lay to the east of the woods of Birdland. The river here was broken intd many channels and biyous. A low island, bordered . by willows and protected by oozy mud flats and shallows that could not be crossed either by boat or afoot, stood in the center of the watery waste. Here it was that the birds sought refuge from the Giant of the Woods. ' Peggy found a seat on a willow root, while the birds grouped around, some on the ground, some on the wil low branches, and some of the tiniest swaying on the wild rice stems. Judge Owl, who had flopped along clumsily beside Peggy's airplane, resumed the council where it had been broken up by the appearance of the Giant. tie addressed Peggy in. rhyme: f wleh you'd enow thl craay terror ,' That he'e a nuliance and In error. He'a bad In the day and worte at night, To all Ulrdland he'a a blooming fright. Peggy shook "her head disapprov ingly at Judge Owl. "You hadn't ought "to make a bad thing worse by poetizing on it," she said severely. "This thing is awful. "So is the poetry." snapped Mr. Wood Pecker. Judge Owl winked at Peggy as he answered: Wood Pecker pecked a pickle tree, Which mada him eour a aour eould ba. "I'd rather be sour than silly," re torted Reddy Wood Pecker, but judge Owl went right in with his verse If Tecker pecked a bumble bee, t He'd get a pain In hie tum-me. Having relieved himself of this bit of levity, Judge Owl drew himself up pompously and gazed solemnly around.- - , ."The question . before the court is how Princess Peggy is going to save us from the rage of the Giant. Prin cess Peggy, it's up to you." , Pfjgy didn't like the judge's slang any more than she did his poetry. Neither did she like the way in which he" placed the whole responsibility upon her. She started to speak, then paused. She remembered advice her father had. once given her; "If you don't know what to say, don tsay it. When cornered, ask questions. "Why don't you keep out of the Giant's way?" he proposed. The 'birds looked blankly at her, then at each other. "Thar'e what we are doing now, and look where we arel" said Reddy Wood Pecker. "There isn't one tie-. cent tree here to drum on. "Nor a hollow in which to sleep. yawned Judge Owl. ... . Vrsor a bougn on which tw uuhr b nest.", said Air. urioie. "And there are water snakes in tne marsh," whispered Mrs. Bob Olink. The birds shivered and moved closer together. , , "Why not move to another forest and let the Giant rage all he wants to in his own woods?" suggested Peggy. . ,' Again the "birds . looked at her in puzzled surprise. , '.' : "But it is not the Giant's woods, it is our woods," declared Reddy Wood Pecker. "It has belonged to the birds for, years and years. The Giant it an invader." ..." ?And my family was raised nere, and my family's family, and my grand father 9 family, and my greai-granu- father's family and Mrs. urioie was eagerly going back into genealogy when Mrs. Bob Olink interrupted. , "It was here that we met our mates. that we built our own nests, trat we reared our children. Oh, we can t movP. No, no, no! If you can t move, the uant win have to move," decided I'eggy. : ve might scare him away. , . ;. , "Scaring won t work. I ve trien n. udtre Owl shuffled uneasily, while all the other birds giggled. "How did you try itr" asked reggy. "Well, one dark night when the Giant was Eoinrr tn bed I flew to a tree just outside his window. Who- l' Whoool Who-o-or i nopteu, ghostlike. . The Giant was scared and stopped pulling off his' boots as he listened. 'Who-o-o! Who-o-ol Who-o-o. I hooted again just as spookly ai 1 could. ' The Giant jumped up.-Who am I r you ask. 'I'll tell you who I amI m Slug the Slugger, and here's my call ing card.' . "With that he whipped off his boot and let it fly straight at me." Judge Owl.' pausedand rubbed his back thoughtfully. t . "Did he hit your asked i'eggy. "Right smack in the stomach 1" laughed Reddy Wood Pecker. "He knocked the judge ott nrs percn ano head over heels into a rain barrel filled with water." All the birds tit tered. while Judge Owl looked uncom fortable. . ' "But I got even with him, though," chuckled Judge Owl. "He couldn t find the boot he threw at me, and later I went back and dropped it into the rain barrel. He never found it until he had .used all the water.' No, you can't scare the Giant , So what are vou, e ulnar to doi" Pecgy thought he was very persist ent when she didn' have the slightest idea what she was going to do. 13 ut she drew herself up with as regal an air as she could assume when clad only in pajamas and passed the prob lem back to the birds. "It is for you, to decide. Many brains are better than one. ! Bob Olink spoke up. "But you have forgotten. Princess, that birds are feather-brained." ....... i 'Why I thought birds were wise." r - n ARcadyToServe FOOD 11 HI jawxt.

"I've heard of geese being foolish, but " She was interrupted by a threaten ing, honky voice. "What's that you say?" . Peggy whirled around.

Plan to Sell Little Red Wagons to Muny fee Users In connection with the operation of the muny ice plant the Metropolitan Water board will sell li,ttle red wa gons for the convenience of children who will patronize the ice stations. Tongs and ice picks also will be sold at nominal prices. While these wagons were designed especially for the kiddies, there will be n6 law against the gr6wn-ups using these vehicles as they do in some cities where municipal ice sta tions have been established. The first station to be definitely lo cated here is at Twentieth and Pop pletou avenue, adjoining the new ice plant. f General Manager Howell hopes to start selling ice next month. Ie in any quantities of 5 cents worth or more will be sold at the muny sta tions. Police Find Bcoze in Grip; Owner is Now in Jail When Andrew Hughinson alighted from a Missouri Pacific train which arrived at the South Side station at 7:15 Wednesday morning, he did not pas through the station gate ordin arily used by passengers, but started to make a detour through a side exit farther down the track. All might have gone well had not Detectives Fraud and Herdzina become suspic ious of, the contents of the grip Hutchinson was carrying. They in vestigated and found that it contained three quarts of whisky and two quarts of wine. Hutchinson was taken to the police t station and booked on a chnrgc of illegal possession of liquor. In police court he entered a plea of guilty and was fined $100 and costs by Judge Fitzgerald. He went to jail in default of payment of the fine. xxxooxxxxoxxxxx SALE OF for men and $.50, $10, fine Si M $8.50-$10-$12.50-$15 i '. ..."

The municipal affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce is urging the opening of Twenty-second street from Farnam to Harney street. The city planning board recently decided that the plans for opening this street to a width of 70 feet could not be acted upon. The municipal affairs committee suggests that if a 70-foot street is opened now an easement' of 10 feet can be required of owners of abutting prbptrty, so that the street could b widened to. 80 feet, if de sired, at some later date. At present there is no street running from Far nam to Harney street between Twen tieth and Twenty-fourth streets. increases atrength of delicate, nervous, run-down people in two in many instance.
