TAKING A LIFT
This is the tale of an' enterprising duckling. The scene was the famous Bound Pond In Kensington Gardens, which Peter. Pan knew so well and on which the" poet Shelley once floated a paper boat made with a five-pound note, the only scrap of paper he had left. Nowadays hundreds of Loudon boys and girls sail their toy yachts there. This new story, of the Bound Pond is perfectly true,'and the scene was witnessed by a lady who has written the story. This is as she describes it. A duck with her brood of ducklings was seen making for the shore of the Bound Pond. One duckling had lagged some distance behind the. rest.' It sighted a small yacht also travcl-
ling shoreward, fluttered on to the deck, and sailed on as a passenger till it came up with its family, which it quickly rejoined by alighting from the yacht. Truly a remarkable story of Little-All-Alone; we wish the duckling a happy issue of all the adventures awaiting it in this rough world.
