Nearer she came, and nearer.
Blacky peered out through the
branches and saw her. She was alone.
He was glad of that. He was afraid
that some of the other Crows with
whom she had come up from the
South might be with her. She was
heading now straight for the tree
where Blacky was hidden. There was
nothing for it now but to come out.
Blacky did. He hoped out in plain
view and hung his head. He took
care not to spread his tail or his
wings. You see, when these were

not noticeable.

it was June the 14th when he had

The good opinion of Mrs. Blacky Is
worth more to him than the opinion
Of all the other people in the Green
Forest. And this Is quite as it should
be.
So it was with dismay that Blacky
heard the voice of Mrs. Blacky and
knew that she had returned to the
Green Forest. She had been away
all Winter, having gone little way
South with some friends. Now she
was back and Blacky wished she
wasn't.
You see, he was a most disrepu-
table-looking Grow. There were
feathers missing from his tail and
from one wing, and nothing makes
Grow look more disreputable than
gaps in tail and wings. Then, too,
there were feathers missing from his
coat. The lack of these didn't show
80 much, but gave his coat an untidy
appearance, and there wasn't thing
In the world he could do about it.
The only way that repairs could be
made was by growing new feathers,
and it takes time to do this. Hooty
the Great Horned Owl had been re-
sponsible for the loss Of those feath-
ers and all because Blacky had been
momentarily careless.

course, Rsddy saw hisa at once, &xd
his lips drew back TO show his teeth
In snarl. Yowler continued toward
him, and now 1t was Yowier who was
snarling. and Yowler's snArl had a far
uglier sound than did Reddy's snarl.
Reddy held his ground as long as he
dared. Then he hastily backed away.
In fact, he made short run, 50 As to
make sure Of safe distance between
him and Yowler.
Yowler paid no further attention to
Reddy. He walked over to where
Reddy had dug down IN the SNOW, and
he shifted. Then his eyes cleaned.
He knew now who It was that Reddy
had been watching and waiting for.
There's q Grouse down In there"
thought Yowler. HE must have
crawled into that hollow log. II
Reddy can't get him out of there, !
can't, but can wait. Yes. sir, can
wait. and a Grouse Ia worth waiting
for"
So Yowler took Reddy's place Just
back Of that snow-covered old log.
There he crouched. with his feet
drawn under him. ready to make a
lightning like spring. He looked over
At Reddy and drew back his lips to
show all his teeth. He didn't make q
sound, but he didn't need to. In his
turn, Reddy showed all his teeth.
Then, growing and grumblins to
himself, he turned and trottAd away.
There is nothing stupid about Reddy
Fox. He knows when he Is beaten.
He knew then that it was hopeless
for him to remain there. That young
Grouse wasn't for him. He hoped 1t
wasn't for Yowler the Bobcat.
Did you ever watch . Cat at .

there, silent. alert. and with all the
patience Of one who has to hunt for
