THE BEDTIME STORY
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
THE QUACKS GROW
UNEASY
PETER RABBIT doesn't like the
very hot weather of midsummer
any more than you or I do. He can
not go to the seashore or the moun
tains as we cnn, and Just think, he
has to wear a fur coat all the time ;
Of course In this respect Peter. Is not
worse off than a lot of his neighbors.
In fact none of them likes Uie very
hot weather. So with the coming of
the first cool days in September new
life seemed to (111 Peter. He loves
the fall. Next to the spring he likes
the fall best. But for two things he
thinks he might even like It the best
of all the year. Those two things are
the parting with old friends who are
leaving for the far away sunny South
t land, or who are preparing to sleep

all winter, and the fact that the fall
brings the dreadful hunting season
when men with terrible guns delight
In spreading terror and suffering over
the Green Meadows, through the
Green Forest, along the Laughing
Brook, around the Smiling Pool, up In
the Old Tasture and even deep In the
Great Woods.
The fall Is a busy time for Peter.

some will slip away before he sees
them. The first of the cool days had
already come and Peter knew by
things he saw that It would not be
long before many of his feathered
friends started on their long Journey.
Everywhere he saw them In flocks now
Instead of In pairs, as he saw them
In the spring. They were making up
parties for the long Journey, for they
prefer to travel in this way. It Is
quite nebessary, because you know
there are so many young birds for
whom this will be the first time to
make the long Journey, and they must
be shown the way by the older birds.
Then It always Is much pleasanter to
travel with company.
A great party of blackbirds flying
over the Old Brier Patch reminded
Peter thnt It was quite likely that
certain other friends would soon be
starting, among others, the Quack
family, who had spent this summer In
the pond of Paddy the Beaver. So
the first chance he got I^eter hurried
over to Paddy's Pond deep in the
Green Forest. He was half afraid
that they might have left already, and
he half hoped that they might decide
to stay all winter. When he got
there he found Mr. and Mrs. Quack
and the ten young Quacks, now aB big
as their father and mother, still there.
"Oh, I'm so glad!" cried Peter.
"What are you so glad about?" de
manded Mr. Quack, swimming In close
to whefce Peter was sitting on the
bank.
"That you are still/ here," replied
Peter. "I was afraid you might have
gone away. Are you going to take
that terrible Journey again this year.
Mr. Quack ?"
"Certainly," replied Mr. Quack.
"What else can I do?"
"Why, stay here all winter the same
as I do," replied Peter.
"And what would we do when all
the water has turned to Ice, stupid?"
demanded Mr. Quack.
Peter looked foolish. "I hadn't
thought of that," said he. "Of course
you have to go where the water
doesn't freeze. Just the same I think
it Is dreadful that you have to take
that terrible Journey."
"It wouldn't be so bad if it were not
for the hunters with terrible guns," re
piled' Mr. Quack. "We don't mind the
Journey ; It Is the terrible guns. Have
you seen any hunters near the Old
Brier Patch yet?" Mr. Quack asked
this anxiously.
"No," replied Peter.
"This cool weather Is sure to brine
them out," replied Mr. Quack uneasily
"I almost wish we had started earlier
but we have been so happy here this
summer that I cannot bear to leave
until we have to. What's that?" Mr.
Quae* started nervously and stretched
his head up to listen. All the other
ducks did t he same thing. It was
only the snapping of a twig under
Buster Bear's feet, and In a moment
ho appeared.
At once the ducks dropped their
THREE DESSERTS
THERE comes a time to all house
wives when It Is Impossible to
think of anything for dessert which
fits the meal she Is preparing. Keep
a card Index of desserts and pick out
one that has not recently been used,
for we all like variety even In des
serts. It Is not always the things that
sound the best which turn out that
way. After preparing food for some
time one's Judgment should be a good
guide, after reading a recipe, as to Its
palatabllity ; however, some times the
strangest concoctions turn out well ?
so don't be afraid to try a new recipe.
A New Apple Cake.
Take one cupful of llour, a bit of
salt, three tabiespoonfuls of shorten
ing, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der. one-third of a cupful of milk, two
and one-half cupfuls of apple sauce,
Juice of half a lemon, two egg yolks
and one cupful of whipped cream.
Rub the shortening into the dry in
gredients, using butter, as it gives a
better flavor, although any sweet
I shortening will be good. Pat out and
line a pie plate. Mix apple sauce,
lemon, egg yolks and bake until the
crust Is brown and Ailing firm. Cover
with whipped cream or the whites of
the eggs may be used as a meringue.
Simple Charlotte.
For this use tHe little nut cups
nbout an Inch high and two inches
in diameter. Spilt lady Angers and
line the cups, letting the cake come
up an Inch above the tops. Fill the
cups with lightly sweetened whipped
cream and top with a tiny macaroon
or a cherry. One may use any color
scheme for this light dessert.
Boston Cream Pie. <
Beat the yolks of six eggs until
creamy, add one-fourth of a teaspoon
ful of salt and add one cupful of su
gar very slowly, beating well, then add
two teaspoonfuls of grated lemon
peel, three tablespoonfuls of lemon
Juice and one cupful of flour folded
after the beaten egg whites have been
added. Sift the flour several times to
make It very light. The layers will
be very thin. Now to one cupful of
whipped cream add three beaten egg
whites. Sweeten and flavor and spread

young Quacks had had no experience
with hunters, but they were uneasy,

to try their wings. They were looking

thing very wonderful. They were
anxious to he on their way. Something
Inside was urging them to start for
their beautiful Southland. It Is often
that way with the young. They did
not fear because they did not know.
