Peter Rabbit was full of curlosity. He always is full of curiosity, but now it would seem as if he were a little more full than usual. And it was all on account of Beauty the Wood Duck and Mrs, Wood Duck. They had told him that they had decided to stay at the pond of Paddy the Beaver, because they had found a tree that just suited them for their home. Now, until the ‘Wood Ducks had arrived, Peter had supposed that all ducks nested on the ground and it had been hard work for “WHERE IS MRS. WOOD DUCK?" gi'ly‘lR ASKED BEAUTY ONE him to really believe Beauty when the latter had told him that he and Mrs. Wood Duck would make their home in a tree, Now that they had admitted that they had found a tree that suited them, Peter was, of course, exceedingly curious to know just where that tree was. Now, as you know, the homes of the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest are their own precious secrets. This is for safety's sake. Peter had asked Beauty where that tree was, but Beauty had refused to tell him, just as Peter he would refuse. So ;her:t was nothing to do but to hunt or it. “Those Wood Ducks are not very big ducks, but still they are big enough birds to need a fairly big nest. That The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle BY THORNTON W. BURGESS nest is somewhere near the pond, so I ought not to have much trouble in find- ing it,” thought Peter. This was a weck or 10 days after the arrival of the Wood Ducks, so he knew they had had plenty of time to build the nest and he knew that they had been bullding it. But so far he had been unable to find it. Now, Beauty and Mrs. Wood Duck were having a lot of fun at Peter's expense. They knew just how hard he was looking for that nest and they delighted in teasing him by starting away from the pond in different direc- tions. At first Peter had thought that he would find the nest easily by watch- ing the direction the Wood Ducks took when they left the pond and from which they came when they returned to the pond. But after a few days Peter decided that this was wasting time. You see, those ducks had left the pond in practically every direction and it seemed as if they never returned to the pond twice from the same direction. “I'll have to just use my eyes to find that nest,” thought Peter. “They prob- ably have built it in a big tree. I'll just go look over all the big trees that are fairly near the pond. Probably they built a nest of sticks, the same as Quack the Night Heron. Anyway, what- cver they have built it of, it must be fairly big.” So Peter wasted a lot of time and patience looking up in trees until his neck fairly ached, but nowhere did he see a nest that he thought belonged to the Wood Ducks. Two or three times he thought he had found the nest, only | to discover that he was mistaken. Once | it proved to be an old nest that be- longed to Blacky the Crow. Once it was a squirrel’s nest. Perhaps you can guess how disappointed Peter was. Finally he began to doubt if the Wood Ducks had any nest at all. Every day you could see them swimming about in the pond of Paddy the Beaver and feed- ing there. Sometimes Beauty would be alone. This became the condition more and more often until finally Peter had aDnlykoccmvnnl glimpses of Mrs, Wood uck. “Where is Mrs. Wood Duck?” Peter asked Beauty one day. “Attending to her duty,” replied Beauty, kis eyes twinkling. “Angd what is that duty?” asked Peter. “Sitting on eggs,” replied Beauty. Peter sighed. “Then you really and truly have a nest,” said he. “We really and truly have,” replied “We Beauty. | (Copyright, 1929.)
