It seemed to her that her heart was right up in ,her throat. She felt as if her eyes were popping right out od her head. She was a frightened. terribly frightened Grouse. -Yes. sir. she wasso. And it wasn't for herself she was frightened. It was for Thunderar. her handsome mate. You see. Thunderer was flying for his ll-fe. Thunderer was inclined to be a little more bold than Mrs. Grouse. Perhaps it would be better to say that Mrs. Grouse was a little more cautious. a little more careful. than Thunderer. This was not surprising. After all. Mrs. Grouse had been many times a mother. and Thunderer only a father. It was mother who had brought up the children. and had all the care of them when they were very small. Thunderer had never had anybody to wach out for but himself, and this he had done very well indeed. ' so it was that that morning Mrs. Grouse had not gone over to the Old Orchard with Thunderer for breakfast. acky the crew had said that he ad heard that 'lierror the Cioshswk had come down from the Far North and was somewhere in the Green Forest. It might be true. It might not be true. Anyway. Mrs. Grouse wisely chose to be safe. and scabs had refused to go over to the Old Orchard for the grain that Farmer Brown's Boy thought- iullv put out everv day for Thiinderer and Mrs. Grouse. Now the worst fears of Mrs. use were being realised. Terror the Goshdwk had audacit- lv appeared over in the Old Orchard. and Thunderer was flying back to the Green Forest as he had asldcin flown before. "fliers was safety in the Old (xchard.

He saw it from a safe Burgess distance. "Caw. caw. cawi" he called, which meant, "Fly. fly, flyl" He would have kept his tongue still had he not felt that he was far enough away in be safe himself. He knew that that handsome. fierce. big Hawk would not even look at a Crow when there was a chance of catching a Grouse. Thunderer was almost to the Green Forest. but Terror was gain- ing with every stroke of his great wings. Unless Thunderer could get to those blessed trees before Terror caught up with him he never again would get to them. Mrs. Grouse knew Just what would happen. she had seen ltghappen more than once during the time she had lived in the Green Forest. Thunderer would be struck from behind with such force that he would be killed in full flight. men he would be carried away by the great-coated visitor from the Far North. "Fly. fly. dii flyi" cried Mrs. Grouse, but it was under her breath. . As if he heard her Thunderer seemed to fly even faster than be- fore. He was headed for a group of hemlock trees growing very near together. Their branches touched. It didn't look as if any one could get through them. It certainly didn't look as if one flying with the speed of Thimda-or would pos- sibly pick a way throug'h. It looked as if he must crash into those branches. and that would be the end of him. Anyway. that is the way it would have looked to you or me. had either of us been there watching. But Mrs.. Grouse was not worrying about this. she knew that fast as The was going.

For just an instant Mrs. arouse closed her eyes. she closed t because she didn't want to see what was about to happen.
