The Little Fierce Ones

By Thornton W. lurgeaa

The fiercest hawk is ruled by Ian. Aa truly II the gentle dove. -Old Mother Nature.

There were six growing children in a big nest high in a pine tree deep in the Green Forest. They were the children of two of the fiercea hunters among all the feathered folk. Father and mother were Mr. and Mrs. Stubwing.

Among the hawk cousins o n l y Sharpshin and Killy the Saprrow Hawk are smaller than Stubwing. He is known as Cooper's Hawk.

There were six young Stubwings up in that big pine tree. This was two more than Mr. and Mrs. Stub- wing ever had had before. It took a lot of hunting to get enough food for those fast growing little hawks. It means for father and mother that they must be on the wing al- most constantly from dawn until dark. Some feathered folk h a ve only to pick up their food, espec- ially those who feed on seeds and fruit. Those who live on insects do not have to work too hard. But

such food wouldn't do at all for q

those fierce little hawks. They must have meat. freshly caught meat. This of course meant constant hunting for small furred and feath- ered folk. These are always on the watch for danger and so are not easily caught.

small, there was a certain fierce- ness about them and this fierce- ness increased as they grew. It was partly because of the food they had. and of course it was partly because they were born with a natural fierceness.

They were quarreisome. When food was brought to them each would try to snatch it from father or mother and from each other. Hunger is apt to make people cross. And these hawklets were hungry most of the time. By the time the last one of the slit had been fed, the first one was already hungry again. So in this quari-eling and struggling to get enough food they became more and uore fierce. When they were old enough to leave the nest and began hunting for themselves they would soon wander far away wherever the huntins war best. That would be I glad day for all the little folk in that part of the Green Forest where these fierce little ones vlerc groi .ng up.

Of late he had been robbing chick-

en yards.

Because these fierce little hawks needci so much food Stubwing had become very.'very bold. Of late he had been robbing chicken yards. He was very clever about it. He was so swift of wing that he could dash in and out again so quickly that usually he was not seen by the farmer whose chickens he was taking so someone else was blamed for taking those chickens. Usually it was Redtall, one of Stubwing's big cousins. Redtail preferred mice and rats. but he was blamed for taking the chickens.

The bigger the young hawks grew. the more food they needed and the harder Stubwing and Mrs. Stubwing had to hunt. Sometimes they were so tired at the end of the day. that they could hardly lift a wing. Often they went hungry themselves. You see, even the most fierce and seemingly the most cruel. know what father and mo- ther love is. Their children come first.

There were no near neighbors. fo none of the smaller feathered folk and the little folks in fur dar- ed to make their homes anywhere near the big pine. So it was that fatherland mother usually had to do their hunting at some distance to get enough to feed their fierce babies. Even when they were very
