BAD NEWS

ally when therein cause to fear It. News is bad for those who hear it. --0ld ” Nature.

This means that what. is bad news for some folks. isn't bad news for other folks. It may be even good news. So it is that news is bad or good according to who hears it.

Over in the Green Forest in the darkest, most lonesome part of it, I young Grouse looking down from quite high in a big hemlock tree. had hard work to believe his own eyes. For the first time he had seen Buster Bear. He had not dreamed that there was anybody so big as that in all the Green Forest. Buster had been growl- ing to himself as he shuffled along. for he was feeling out of sorts. Be didnt look up in the tree so he didn't see the young Grouse. Probably he wouldn't have seen him had he looked. for Buster's eyes are not as keen as some other eyes. so he shuffled along and dis- appeared among the trees.

For a long time the young Grouse stayed right where he was. He was afraid that Reddy Fox. who had climbed a little way up in that tree. then had been scared away by Buster Bear. might re turn. But. Reddy didn't. return. He was too smart to waste time there. He knew he couldn't climb up as

"Compared with this fellow. Red- tail isn't to be feared at all." de- clared Mrs. Grouse. "Redtail does- n't really hunt us. He would rather have Mice or Squirrels or Rabbits. He catches one of us feathered folk only when he has too good a chance to miss. But this cousin of his would rather have s Grouse for dinner than anything else."

The young Grouse looked as frightened as his mother wanted

"He is Terror the Gostiawk. And he doesn't live down here. He only visits here in the winter when food is scarce up where he comes from. If he has plenty of food up there he doesn't come down here at all. When he does come we Grouse have to be watching for him every minute. And I hear he has come now. It means that we must keep out of sight all the time. He is as dangerous for us in the daytime as Hooty the Owl is after dark So when I am not with you. be careful to keep under cover.” con- cluded Mrs. Grouse.
