RUFFED GROUSE In appearance the ruffed grouse is about the size of a small chicken, being one of the largest of the upland game birds. The bead, and upper parts of the body are a light chestnut brown, spotted with buff, gray, white and black. The ruff consists of long, broad, black feathers sometimes tip- pod with brown. The colours are variable, even with birds in the same area, but all blend (cleverly into their surroundings, One's first acquaintance with a ruffed grouse is apt to be a very startling experience. 'At one moment all is quiet; the next moment a blurred form explodes from the ground al- most underfoot and rockets into the air with a roar of wings. With un- canny skill he flies so that a tree or some other obstruction looms between the intruder and his line of flight. This is the most common means of departure, but he can and often does, fly as silently as an owl, The silent take-off is usually from a tree where he has been hiding close to the trunk, body erect and motionless to resemble a branch, He will usually do the un- expected. This hardy native was not always as shy and crafty as he is to-day. He has survived hunting by Indians and the earliest of settlers. Later the market gunners slaughtered these fine game birds along with all other spec- ies. They were one time sold as cheaply as seventy-five cents a pair, The most unusual characteristic of the grouse is his habit of drumming. This sound is produced by a rapid beating of the wings while the body is held in an erect position. This habit serves a triple purpose. In spring, it is both a mating call and a. challenge to rival cocks; at other times it serves as an outlet for excess energy. Some of our other upland game birds can be reared in captivity and their numbers increased in this way. Not so the grouse, therefore we have to use wisely what Mother Nature supplies us. In years of abundance we are able to have longer seasons with larger limits, and in years of scarcity shorter seasons and smaller limits, even though few people where these birds are hunted heavily man- age to take their limit. This is one of the reasons for the popularity of the grouse as a game bird. Despite the terrific odds against the young grouse reaching maturity.-be- cause of disease and predators, as well as hunters—there are favorable indications that Mr. Grouse will be with us for some time.

'Melamine first met ;her a small ehild s like her ;air hair parted in the middle, wearing a belted trench coat and no hat—he saw what Polley meant: "She makes you feel like the dew is on the t it was the same Folly woo a few months later, "There's something about that girl that's a big lie." To many respectable souls Peggy was socially beyond the pale and mor- ally suspect; to some narrow bigots she was an object of contempt; to those whose material security depend- ed on the status quo of their society; she was a dangerous radical; by those who had very little material security, and to whom she offered her friend- ship, she was misunderstood and re- sented; to Jim McAlpine she was someone to love, to try to reform and at last to betray. Peggy was friendly with the negroes on St. Antoine St. in the prismatic city of Montreal. Why should she be, she demanded? She thought of them as human beings, treated them accord- ingly and wanted to be let alone to live according to her own lights. But was it all this simple and innocent? Because of her, a career was ruined, a marriage was thwarted, hatreds flared and the values of a whole so- ciety were jeopardized. With all this evidence how should we think of her? As a modern St. Joan or a willful per- vert with a taste for violence? Herii is a deceptively straight forward, dra- matic treatment of a timely, complex and important theme by a top Can- adian author.
