Perhaps you can sum HOW Flaptoes felt now. He had been frightened belore, but it was noth- ing to the fear he Ielt now. Farm- er Brown's boy wok him out or the net. He took him out care-

DID YOU KNOW

That a woodlot should not be treated like a mine -worked until exhausted.

A woodlot should be handled like a large herd of cattle which keeps breeding and growing all the time so that the younger stock, without loss of time, fully replaces mature animals that are killed for use or sold.

Selective cutting bmigs about improvements in the woodlot and insures proper regeneration.

fully so as not to hurt him in any way. Fiaptoes tried to struggle He tried to peek with his pointed bill. the gentle hands holding him. He couldn't. He was held gently but firmly in such a way that he could not use his wings to beat with and he could not strike those gentle hands with his bill.

Farmer Brown's boy talked to him in a low voice. a soothing voice. "You're a. lucky Grebe," said he. "You're a very lucky Grebe. but you don't know it. You,h.av- en't a thing to worry about. but you don't know that either. It I hadn't found you and caught you, Roddy Fox or King (Eagle would have. Even if they had not come around you would have been froz- en in the ice, and would have starved to death. so it is a lucky thing for you that Blacky the Crow saw me and was so excited that I had to come over here to see what it was all about."

All the time Farmer Brown's boy was gently stroking Flaptoes. " chow the touch of his Vingers. even though he wore gloves, was soothing. In spite of his cright Flaptoes somehow felt better. He was being taken somewhere, but of course he had no idea where.

"I know how you're worried." said Farmer Brown's boy. "I sup- pose if I -were in your place I'd worry just as you are worrying. It is too bad that I cannot make you understand now that it is mis- taken worry. but you'll find it out pretty soon."

Farmer Brown's boy was walking on the ice down the Big River. Quite 8- distance from where he had caught Flaptoes there was a stretch of open water. There the -water ran too fast for Jack Frost -to freeze it. Jack Frost wants still water for freezing. It was toward this open water that Farmer Brown's boy was walking. From the topic! a tall tree a safe dist- ance away King Eagle was watch- ing and wondering what would happen to that dinner he had once been so sure o1. From another tree B-lacky the Crow was watch- ing. Blacky had known Farmer Brown's boy for a long time. He icng ago discovered what a tender heart Farmer Brown's boy has and -what a friend he is or the Green Meadow and Green Forest folks. He was sure that something good was in store for Flaptoes.

when he reached the edge of the fast running open water, Farmer Brown's boy gently put Flmptoes down on the water and let him go. And how he did go! He didn't stop long enough to say thank you. He ducked under water and disappeared. When ne came up he was way over the other side of the river. A moment later he was skittering over the water and then was in the air. At long last he was on his way to the seticnast.
