Inxwqrry, if no other way. -Dipper the Grebe. Dipper the Grebe had overstayed in the Far North. He had hated to leave for the Sunny South. Even when his neighbors, the Duck folk. took to the air and headed for the Sunny South. he remained. He was having extra. good living there. Jack Frost had not yet frozen the lake over, and Dipper liked to think it wouldn't be done for some time to come. That was his mis- take.

"I'll have to find a little open water. at least 1 spring-hole.” thought he. "Yes. sir, I will Just have to find a little open water. I wish I hadn't overstayed back home." Most of the feathered folk think of the places where they make their nest as home. even though they spend less time there than elsewhere.

Looking down as he sped over the Green Forest,-which was now white instead of green, he seldom saw any of the Green Forest folk. Most of the feathered folk who live there ill the summer had long ago left for the Sunny South.

He knew that the time had come when lltt must take to his wings. and that he would have to fix his hardest for some distance to keep ahead of Jack Frost. Now the Grebe folk are not too fond of flying. although they are good ll)'?IS. They are great swimmers and divers. They love to be on and in the water. Tliey tan swim under- water for long distances. just as Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter can. But when they do take to their wings they fly well and fast.

Dipper had need of flying well. and flying fast. He had intended to stop at the next lake, but when he got there there was no open water. Jack Frost had been there. ahead of him, and had covered alil the lake with ire. He didn't worry too much because he was sure there
