Speeding his car up the lone fowl
was run over Mac gleefully brought
his machine to a stop and jumping
out raced the duck through the pud-
dle over and through another puddle
and at last into a corner from whence
there was no escape
Bringing the fowl to Cherokee he
presented the semi-dazed duck to Pede
Harkins who took It home and re-
quested his mother to clip its wings —
he being too tender hearted to perform
the amputation — to prevent its return
to wild life Mrs Harkins proceeded
with the job only to discover that the
duck was halter and stall broke per-
f rtly tame and undoubtedly the pet
of some duek-loviug person
