BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY the crow flew up to Nannie, was sleeping on this top of a new stack. It was her usual place, for from this want-point she could get a view of the country round about, as stack stood on the top of a hill. Here she spent most her time night and day when was away, looking for him return. From here she could not only the country roads, also the railroad as well as meadows and woodland. Consequently from whichever direction Billy might come she would the first to see him. It was this very lookout she had him when he returned from western trip from his Pan-empedition and from across ocean and far-away Constantinople. You must not forget that Billy was a traveled goat. This particular morning she awoke at sunrise, but seeing a heavy mist hid the sun, she tried to go to sleep again as it foretold a hot day. But just as she was dropping off to sleep, she heard a crow caw directly over her head, and she thought it queer that the crows would be stirring so early. Again she closed her eyes, but the call was repeated and it sounded so much hearer than at first that she opened her eyes once more. Le and behold! directly in front of her on a dead limb of a tree sat a big, black crow. "Don't you know me, Mrs. Billy Whiskers!" cawed he. "It isn't—it can't be our old friend and messenger. Black Wings!" "That is just who it is! You have good eyes, Mrs. Whiskers, to recognize me after all these years, especially as they say I have grown stouter." "That you surely have, but any one having once seen your sharp, shrewd eyes would never forget them or the saucy turn of your head. You can't be here to give me another message from my beloved husband, can you?" "That is just my business—to deliver a message from him, to tell you that he, Stubby and Button are all well and happy and best of all, that none of them lost so much as an eye or a leg in the war. Which is quite remarkable. I think, as they were in the thick of the fight more than once, and were also torpeded by a submarine. But just wait until you see them! They themselves will tell you about their war experiences." "Oh, how happy you have made me, Mr. Black Wings, by bringing me the message that the husband I adore is safe and sound and in this country once again! I don't believe I can ever stand it to have him go away from me again. I have died a thousand deaths in imagining him wounded and left to die on the battlefield, or worse yet, blewn to atoms by a shell. Come with me while I tell Billy Junior and Daisy the good news." (And tomorrow we shall hear how happy the good news makes.) They themselves will tell you about their war experiences." "Oh, how happy you have made me, Mr. Black Wings, by bringing me the message that the husband I adore is safe and sound and in this country once again!
