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.

THE LOVED AND THE LOST by
lVforl.ar Cal'aghan,
Peggy Sanderson was many things
to many p.ansle, When Jim. '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.
