All superficialities and superfiu- ities were gone, and only the basic stuff of Iife remained—the cave, the fire, the man who fought the beast in the light of the ancient moon. At that moment Ben was no mo: of the twentieth century than he was of the first, or of the first more than of some dark, unnumbered cen tury of the world’s young days. He was simply the male of his species, the man-child of all time, forgetting for the moment all the little lessons civilization had taught, and fighting his fight In the basic way for the basic things. ‘This was no new war girl’s—that old, beloved privilege to breathe the air and see and know and be He represented, by @ strange symboliam, the whole race that has always fought tn merciless and neverending battle with the cruel and oppressive powers of na- ture. In the grizzly were typified all those ancient enemies that have always opposed, with claw and fang, this stalwart, selfknowing breed that has risen among the primates: he symbolized not only the beast of the forest, but the merciless e¢le- ments, storm and flood and cold and all the legions of death. And had they but known thelr ulttmate fate if this intruder survived the battle and brought his fellows into their last stronghold, the watching forest creatures would have prayed to see the grizzly strike him to the earth.

It is possible that some of you may have been told and there are still others who read the litt stories of pioneer days, who will remember with « sense of grati- tude that the need of such « building 1» long past; that that old barn was the fort built by the settlers in the late fall of 1855, for their protection against the In. @ians who had failed to carry out the terms of the peaceful treaty made with their white brothers, and who had gone back to thelr own savage methods of hate and war. At each corner of the fort block houses were placed, and within its walls, these walls which have seen 82 families at time eat and sleep and live; 33 families each with its full number of children and babies, and many with dogs. In writing of Jt, Mra, Chambers says, “I used to think of the Bible story of the Tower of Babel. Par: ticularly at night when the babies were ali crying and the dogn bark ing. “The men organized themselves into a volunteer military com- pany, and Andrew Chambers was made leutenant. “The air was heavy with rumors, but we knew nothing, surely, of what to expect. The captain felt this keenly, so he ordered the lleutenant to take @ number of men and ride out | toward Yelm Prairie and do a bit of scouting to find out if there were any hostile Indians lurking about. “It was about 6 o'clock in the afternoon when they mounted their horses and rode away.
