Each had been accompanied by a roar quite as startling as the explo- sion itself. Before he could gather his wits he was already running away as fast as those long, strong legs of his could take him. Having nothing where- with to fight for his life, Jumper must l?'“" run for it, 50 the instant he is rightened, even before he has the least idea what has frightened him, he is “Qwit, qwit,” said & familiax voice, BY THORNTON ¥. BURGESS “Qwit, qwit,” repeated another fa- miliar voice. Jumper stopped almost as suddenly as he had started off. He turned to look back. There, with a twinkle in their eyes, stood Thunderer the Grouse and Mrs. Grouse. “Of course it would be you,” said Jumper without appearing to be the least embarrassed by his head- long flight. “If you would only let a fellow know beforehand that you are gong (o burst out in that sudden ashion it would save his nerves. How long were you down there under the snow?” “All through the last half of the storm,” replied Thunderer. “We waited until the snow was deep enough for us to plunge into it and go out of sight. Then we remained there while the storm covered the es where we had entered. When we out just now we didn't know that you were any- where about. There is no way for us to know who may be close at hand, so we find it the wisest plan to break out suddenly with a roar of wings so as to startle Reddy Fox or Yowler the Bob Cat, or any other enemy who might happen to be within jumping distance. My, but that was a storm!” “It was so,”. replied Jumper. “You are the first people I have seen this morning, although I have heard Blacky the Crow and Sammy Jay in the dis- tance. I see you have on your snow- shoes. Youll need them if you are going to walk about much. Ves, sir, you'll need them. I don't know what I would do without mine—starve to death, I guess.” Mrs. Grouse held up one foot and looked at it. “Yes,” said she, “we have our snowshoes.

Mrs. Grouse shook the snow out of her feathers and Mr. Grouse did the same thing. Then, when they had nicely settled all their feathers in place, they started off to look for break- fast. The deep snow made it easy for them to reach certain buds of which they are fond. Very trim and hand- some they looked against the white snow, and it was a joy to see them moving about, making the most of their snowshoes.
