Of all the people in. the Green Forest and on the Green Meadows none is smarter than Roddy. Exrepiinl Mn. Raddy there probably is no one else quite II amart. It to largely by his wit: ihaii Roddy has managed to live so long. By his wits and hi! clever use of them he has managed to outsmnrti the hunter: with their dreadful III. and the trapper: with dread- traps. He has been smart enough to know that the more he know: about hi: neighbor. and their ways. the easier it is for him to outwit them. So Reddy is always using his eyes and trying; to understand all that he sees. When a fully grown young Grouse, son of Thunderer and Mrs, Grouse. was shot and the wing I0 hurt that he could not fly. Reddy was not around to see it happen. He knew nothing about it. So when he chanced over in ii loncsome part of the Green Forest and stir- prised the young Grouse there and the latter did not fly, but hopped up in a hemlock tree with low- growing branches. Reddy guessed rllzht away what had happened. "That. fellow can't fly." thought he. ”II he could he wouldn't be going up in that tree that way." Now Reddy. unlike his cousin Gray Fox. is not much of a climb- or. He can climb a little way up in I tree if the branches are low enough and close enough together. He could climb up in this one part way. He did just that. Of course as Raddy Pllmbvd the young Grouse climbed higher- He had not Iupposed that Roddy could climb It all. So now he was a badly frightened .Vl!lll'IK bird. How he did innit to lake in those stout wings Wily heard another sound. It was a deep rumbly. grumbly growl- Reddy didn't wait. He didn't bother to climb down. He jumped down, for he wasn't very high in that tree. ln a moment he had disappeared. The young Grouse blinked a little stupidly. What could have made that Fox leave in such a hurry? He was puzzled. Then he too heard that low rumbly, grumbly growl and a moment later Buster Bear, came shuffling into sight. He was growling to himself because he was feeling not of sorts. The young Grouse nearly lost his balance so great was his astonishment. It was the first time he had ever seen Buster hear.

The killer-uhalo may be easily, recognized by its prominent back-l fin. is a very powerful little creature whose jaws: hold a set of dangerous teeth. it is the terror of the big whales: when it appears they flee for their lives, and one of lll('SP little gladiators alone is enough to put the giants of the x08 to flight. and even to drive them ashore before him The hig whales have good reason to flee from iheir enemy for, as he piirsiics them he attacks them from the side tearing great pieces of hluhhcr away.
