There is just as much difference between the children of the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadow's as there is between little human children. Some are smarter than others. Some are more timid than others. Some are more curious than others. Some are more needless than others. Some are more disoiiedient than others. . In such a big family ns Mrs. Groutr . asl there was bound to be a great 'difference. You remember that there were 32 young Grouse. If Mrs. Groitse could have been sure that all would do exactly the same thing in exactly the same way it would have made it much easier for her. She would have been far less anxious. Hut she could never be sure just what each one would do in time of danger. She was always fearful that when they took to their wings some might fly too far and get lost. So in spite of the fact that those young Grouse were growing rapidly, and every day were better able to take ALL SICK PEOPLE ovi it to themselves to at least investigate Chiropractic.

"Fox! Fox!” she eried. Those young Grouse knew by the sound of her voice that they were In great danger. without a second of delay they took to their wings. Away they went up over the tree tops, scattering in all directions. Now one of those young Grouse was more timid than the others. She was so timid that in the suddenness of her flight she flew and flew ami > flew until her small wings would carry her no further. When she came down to the ground she promptly hid. At the time the alarm was given she had been headed In the opposite di region from her brothers and sisters. ■She had been the first to take to her wings, and, of course, she had flown In the direction in which she was headed.
