"By the extraordinary apparitions of Pontoosuc, will you look who has arrived!"

Mrs. Jerome Walker and her three-year-old child, Jerry Jr., of Lanesboro, glanced around because of the call from Mr. Walker. Their eyes dazed by the glare, they didn't see anything, yet they heard a merry "quack, quack," in the snowdrifts behind them.

Before he could see the article obviously, Jerry Jr., shouted:

"Why it's Joseph."

What's more adequately certain, it was Joseph, Jerry's pet duck given to him last Easter.

Presently Joseph is a surprising duck. He and Jerry's English setter Bo-Peep are indistinguishable, and you seldom see one of the three however what you see them all.

Recently, the Walkers joined Mr. And Mrs. Albert Sambel for a skiing party at Gunn's Grove, an eighth of a mile from their home on Narragansett Avenue. The English setter was permitted to show up however they thought Joseph was protected at home, until they heard his obvious voice calling from the snowbank. Joseph had found that his webbed feet adjust him for swimming, however for strolling on top of the snow, so he just waddled after the party as quick as possible, hardly sinking into the snow.

Bo-Peep gave a bark of happiness and approached his buddy. With one lap of his long tongue he gave Joseph a tender kiss from his bill to his tail, and afterward jumped up high a couple of times to bring additional proof of his bliss.

Understanding that the skiing party would be a failure assuming they needed to trust that Joseph will descend and come up the slope, each time they took a slide, and furthermore wishing to show his companions what a faithful duck Joseph truly was, Mr. Walker told:

"Joseph, go sit under that tree."

With energetic promptness and a speed fairly amazing in a duck, Joseph waddled over to a close by tree and quacked his endorsement as he recently sat and watched the skiers and Jerry Jr., on his sled, pass him on the slope. There he sat until the party tapped out and gave him the sign to go along.

At home, Joseph and Bo-Peep went through their little services. Bo-Peep streamlined Joseph's caused some disruption. Joseph picked a couple of burrs from Bo-Peep's fur and afterward for added solace provided Bo-Peep with a cordial spot of the ear.
