, with such reckless courage, in spite
of their size. This one anyway, pre-
ferred to leave the rock alone and
settle with the coot.
1t was as he hurried to rejoin his
companions that the old rock found
out what he would have noticed be-
fore had he not so busily engaged,
that these same companions were, for
once, silent, and when he topped the
sea wall he realized why. They were
no longer there.
The reason for this sudden departure
Of his friends was not at first appar-
ent, probably because all earth and
air was white, and that which had
driven them away was white also It
was a terrible bird known as the
Greenland falcon. He was nearly
white, and the old rock did not at
first notice him.
The Greenland falcon saw the rocks
black form, and instantly rose on his
fine. long wings, not seeming TO be
troubled by the wind much, for he was
a wonderful flyer. The the old rock
let out an amazed cav and fled.
It was an exciting chase. The falcon
circled aloft, easily master of the other
on the wing. and ready to swoop down
upon him at any moment. So did the
old rock try to circle diOft, but the
wind would not let him, and il he
wished to reach the shelter of the
trees, where he knew he would be
safe, he saw at once that he must
hug the ground, which he did. and,
oddly enough, il was this very wind
that saved him. The big falcon whirled
aIoft above him, but dared not swOop,
for fear of dashing himself to pieces
on the ground beneath.
As for the old black bird, although
he strained every muscle, he could
not get ahead of this terrible pursuer,
who kept up with him easily. He did
not, OF course, appear to realize that
so long as he 'hugged" the ground
h. was safe, and he must have strained
himself too much. Anyway. all at
once there was a sudden Eush of blood
from his beak, and without a sound
he turned over and fell headlong in
the snow. Foolish old birdi He had
burst his heart with over exertion.
and the Greenland falcon, who would
not otherwise touch him. even if he
flew quite slowly, so long as he

requesting the Council to elect two new
members for the Road Commission for W est

picking them up. These rough stones

Using rough stones as filler In solid

laying brick or stone In mortar The
only difference ia that forms are used
and that the stones are all hidden

cement are all that Is needed, al
