Danny's Astonishing Surprise.
Danny Meadow Moum never bad
heard of a snake with a bill. But if
this wasn't Just what he was looking
at, then Danny could no longer trust
Ilia eyes. To Danny any snake was
had enough, but somehow one with a
hill seemed worse. This Sunny South
certainly waa a land of strange peo
ple.
Ddnny wished the leaves of that
iree were not so thick. He wanted to
see the whole of this snake with a
bill. He wanted to see if It waa as
I liter as Mr. Gopher Snake who had so
badly frightened him a few days be
fore. But the leaves were In the way,
and all Danny could sec were the
head, neck and what he thought was
part of the body.
Danny waited and waited and
waited right where he was. He didn't
wait because he wanted to wait. Oh
my, no! No indeed! He waited be
cause he didn't dare do anything else.
He dldn t dare move. At last his long
wait was brought to an end very sud
denly. There was a movement be
hind the leaves which hid the body
of the snake with a bill. The head
and neck disappeared. There was a
splash In the water.
"He must be a water snake."
thought Danny, and peeped out over
the water. Nothing was to be seen.
The snake with a bill had disappeared,
lie must be under water.
Now was Danny's chance to get
away from there. He knew it. He
knew that the thing for him to do
was to take to his short legs. Hut
curiosity was too much for him. He
was as curious as ever was Peter Kab

[bit. So instead of running away, he
[crept a little nearer to the tdge of the
ibank that he might see better,
i For a few minutes he saw nothing
but the smooth water of the river,
and Grandpa Pelican sitting on his
favorite stump. Then some distance
out from the shore suddenly appeared
that same head and neck which had
so frightened him at first.
"He Is a snake! And lie has a
bill!" gasped Danny to himself. "And,
oh dear, he is coming straight over
here!”
Danny turned around. He took one
more frightened look behind him.
"I never” exclaim'd Danny. "I j
never did!"
Then he stopped. Yes, sir, he stopped.
"1 never!” exclaimed Danny. never
did!” He rubbed his eyes and looked
again. He blinked. He blinked sev
eral times. "Mo, sir, I never did!” he
exclaimed again.
There was no snake out there in
(he water, but there was a bird, a big
Vlack bird with silvery spots on his
hack, and a long slim neck and snake
like head, with a long, slim, very
sharp bill. 'Even while Danny was
looking this curious stranger sank un
til hia body was below the water,
leaving only his head and neck above.
Danny knew then that this was the
same fellow who had been up In the
tree, and whom he had mistaken for
a snake with a bill, because all he had
been able to see had been that long,
slim neck and head.
"I never! I never did!” repeated
Danny, and waited to see what would
happen next.
