I don't care for places like that. I dont care to be outside the Green Forest. I am quite contented to | Jeave the Old Orchard to my smaller | cousins. Hello! I think I hear a fa- miliar voice.” Peter listened. Before he had made | quite certain that he heard anything | unusual, Logeock up above him opened | his mouth and sent out a call that was | familiar, yet not familiar. It was some- | thing like the call of Goldenwing the | Flicker, but was louder, clearer and | sharper. As he finished it, Logcock turned his head to one side that he might listen better. Almost at once he got & reply.

She looked very much like Logcock. In fact, Peter thought she looked just like him until he discovered that Logcock'’s red crest went clear down across his forehead to the beginning of his bill, while Mrs. Logcock's red crest went only part way. Then, too, Logcock had a patch of red running back from each corner of his bill, while Mrs. Logcock did not. Such a bowing and bobbing as there was on the part of Logcock! Peter had never seen anything like it. my dear,” “I'm so glad you've sald Logcock. “Huh!” replied Mrs. Logeock. “If you are so glad, why didn't you come to get_me?” “I was just about to, my dear, I was just_abouf. to,” replied Logcock hastily. | “I think we'll make our home here.” “If there is any thinking to be done, Tl do it,” replied Mrs. Logcock rather ungraciously. It was plain that she was somewhat out of sorts because Log- cock had left her alone up on the Great Mountain.
