Who never learns to use his wits
Will find no place wherein he flts.
Mrs. Grouse.

-WO Of the children Of Thun-
derer the Grouse and Mrs.
Grouse had had one Of the
/ greatest frights of their short
lives. You see, although they were
as big as their parents, this was their
first Winter, and so they still had
much to learn. They had been caught
under q crust with which Jack Frost
in the night had covered the snow In
the Green Forest. They had gone
down under that snow at dusk the
night before to sleep, for down under
the snow they were well hidden. In
the night rain had fallen, and then
Jack Frost had come along. Luckily
for them, Lghtfoot the Deer had hap
pened that way and broken the crust.
Now they felt sure that they never.
never, never would go down into the
snow again. They said as much.
"Tut, tut, my dears!" said Mrs.
Grouse. There are times when snow
Is very useful. It can be very dam
gerous, as you have found out, but.
also, 1t can be very friendly. 1t is all
in knowing how and when to use 1t. I
find it very useful myself. It tells
me a lot.
How can 1t tell you anything?" de-
manded one Of the young Grouse. 1T
can't talk. How can it tell you any
thing?"
"1ll show you some day when the
snow is SOFT" replied Mrs. Grouse.
There came time not long after
this when there was another snow
fall. The former snow, in which the
young Grouse had been caught, had
melted, for there had been spell of
warm weather. Then it had turned
cold again, and now there was great
fall OF light snow. Mrs. Grouse
chanced to meet the two children.

I told you that liked the snow be-
cause it tells me lot?"
The young Grouse nodded. "We
remember" said one of them, "but
it didn't mean anything. 1t didn't
make any sense"
Haven't you forgotten something's"
asked their mother.
They looked at each other wonder
ingly. Then they shook their heads.
Not that we know Of" replied one
of them.
What do you think that We have

mother.
The young Grouse looked perplexed

The two young Grouse blinked

Just then big gray bird alighted
on q tall stub Of a tree. It was the
first time the young Grouse had seen
this fellow, but they knew him at
once for a member Of the Hawk FAM

know he was to be feared. What they
didn't know was that this was Ter
