Never had Mrs. Grouse been in .

OF a little open place, with nothing
20 hide her. she was sQuatting as fat
10 the ground as she could get, while
only a few feet away stood 3 hunter
With q terrible gun. There we're just
two things in favor Of Mrs Grouse.
one was thst she was 50 near the
color Of the dead leaves and grass
around her that she was difficult TO
see. The other was that II hadn't
entered that hunters head that a
Grouse would be In an open place
ike that.
So the hunter stood there idly
looking about. Once OF twice he
looked straight AZ Mrs. Grouse She
knew by the expression Of his eyes
that he did not sec her. On her part
Mrs. Grouse kept perfectly still. Was
she frightened OF course she was
frightened. She was terribly fright
ened. She was 20 frightened that il
seemed % her that her heart almost
stopped beating. II seemed 20 her
that sooner or later that hunter
would be bound 20 see her. She
knew that II he should take Il into
his head 20 walk over where she vas
there would be nothing for II but
for her 20 take 70 her stout wings.
Mrs. Grouse kept her bright eyes
sxed on that hunter. Not once did
she take them from him. II there
should be chance for escape she
didut intend 70 miss H. Presently
some one further down the hill
shouted. She knew then that there
vas another hunter. The hunter she
vas watching shouted back and
turned his head 70 look down the hill.
The very second he turned has head
Nrs. Grouse shot into the air. Such

But that hunter had hunted too
eften 20 be startled IN any such
manner. he was surprised, very
zach surprised. but not startled. The
second he heard the roar Of those
vings be Whifled around and brought
his terrible gun 20 his shoulder
