The Big Men HPRE is no one in this country ae too big to be interested in the Boy Scouts! The President him- self at the head of it and his active Interest in the Scouts shows that the position is not entirely an honorary ‘one. For years the Boy Scouts of ‘America have had the satisfaction of knowing that the most important ™en {n the country are “with them” and are taking an active part in the ranks of leadership. ..Anthony Fiala, the explorer, has become “one of them." Fiala knows as much about fight- fag the Polar tce as any other of the Arctic or Antarctic explorers,| ‘and he is now the Scout Commis- sioner at Springfield, Mass, Dillon Wallace, who spent two and a half years in the wildest part of Labra- @er, bas given up his law practice and ts devoting a great part of his fame to scouting. He is Scout Com- @lasioner at Beacon, N. Y. and dur- tag the summer he is the Chief of ene of the largest scouting training @dhools in the country. The National Court of Honor, which awards the life-saving and! ether honorary medals to Scout heroes, has Deen reorganized. At the) head of it is Daniel Carter Beard, artist, author and naturalist. With tim on this board are: Belmore Browne, explorer, big game hunter and the man who first ascended Mount MoKinley; David T, Aber- crompie, camper and hunter, now a Major in the United States Army; Frederick J. Vreeland, author of standard works on electricity, an in- ventor, famous botanist, explorer and canoeist; Dr. William T. Hornaday, head of the New York Zoo, who has travelled over the globe and hunted in tropical countries, and was the originator of the Campfire Club of America; Dr, C, Ward Crampton, author and editor, director of physi- ca} training in public schools in New York City and President of Manhat- tan Scout Council; George J.

IKI followed until he was submerged to his shoulders. Then he stopped. The fire was close now, ad- vancing like a race-horse, Over the protecting barrier of thick timber drove the clouds of smoke and ash, Swiftly the lake became obliterated, and 2ow out of that awful chaos of blackness and smoke and heat there rose strange and thrilling cries; the bleating of a moose calf that was doomed to die and the bellowing, ter- ror-filled response of its mother; the agonized howling of a wolf; the ter- rifled barking of a fox, and over all else the horrible screaming of a pair of loons whose home had been trans- formed into @ sea of flame, Through the thickening smoke and increasing heat Neewa gave his cali to Miki as he began to swim, and with an answering whine Miki plunged after him, swimming so close to his big black brother that his muzzle touched the other's flank. In mid- lake Neewa did as tho other swim- ming creatures were ¢ ing—paddied only enough to keep himself afloat; but for Miki, big of bone and unas- sisted by a life preserver of fat, the struggle was not so easy. Ho w: forced to swim to keep afloat, dozen times he circled around Neewa, and then, with something of the situa- tion driven upon him, be came up |close to the bear and rested his fore- paws on his shoulders, The lake was now encircled by a solid wall of fire, Blasts of flame shot up the pitch-laden trees and leapt for fifty feet into the blistering lair. The roar of the conflagration ; was deafening, It drowned all sound that brute agony and death may have made, And its heat was terrific, For |a few terrible minutes the air which | Miki drew into his lungs was like fire itself, Neewa plunged his head under water every few seconds, but it was not Miki's instinct te do this ee ar arere e ee =e SAO Ee Like the wolf and the fox and the fisheveat and the lynx it wa ture to die before c#ap merging himself. Swift as it had come the are passed, and the walla of timber that had been green a few moments before were black and shriveled and dead; and sound swept on with the flame until it became once more only a low and rumbling murmur, To the black and — smoldertn; shores the live things slowly made their way, Of all the creatures that had taken refuge in the lake many had died. Chief of those were the porcupines, All had drowned Close to thé shore the heat was still intense, and for hours the earth was hot with smouldering fire, All the rest of that day and the night that followed no living thing moved out of the shallow water, And yet no living thing thought to prey upon {ts neighbor, The great peril had made of all beasts kin. A little before duwn of the day fol- lowing the fire relief came, A deluge of rain fell, and when day broke and the sun me through a murky heaven there was left no sign of what the lake had been, except for the dead bodies that floated on its surface or lined its sho! The living things had returned into their desolated wilderness—and among them Neewa and Miki, CHAPTER XIX. R many days after the Great Fire it was wa who took the lead. All their world was @ black and lifeless desolation and Miki would not have known which way to turn, Had it been a local fire of small extent he would have “wandered” out of its charred path, But the conflagration had beea immense, It had swept over a vast reach of country, and for a halt of the yest nd who had saved them- = selves in the lakes and streams there was only a death by starvation left. But not for Neewa and his breed. Just as there had been no indecision in the manner and direction of his flight before the fire so there was now no hesitation in the direction he chose to seek a live world again, It was due north and west—as straight as adie, If they came to a lake, and went around it, Neewa would always follow the shore until he came direct- ly opposite ig trail on the other side of the lake—and then strike north and west again, He travelled stead- ily, mot only by day but also by night, with only short Intervals of rest, nd the dawning of the second morning found Miki more exhausted than the bear, There were many evidences now that they had reached a point where the fire had begun to burn itself out. Patches of green timber were left standing, there were swamps un- scathed by the flames, and here and there they came upon green patches of meadow, In the swamps and tim- ber they feasted, for these oases in what had been a sea of flame were filled with food ready to be preyed upon and devoured. For the first time Neewa refused to stop because there was plenty to eat. The sixth day they were a hundred miles from the lake in which they had sought refuge from the fire, It was @ wonderful country of green timber, of wide plains and of many lakes and streams—cut up by a thousand usayow (low ridges), which made the best of hunting. Be- cause it was @ country of many wa- ters, with live streams running be- tween the ridges and from lake to lake, it had not suffered from the drought like the country farther south, For a month Neowa and Miki hunted in their new paradise, and be- came fat and happy again. It was in September that they came upon @ strange thing in the edge of a swamp. At first Miki thought that it was a cabin; but it wos a great deal smaller than any c&bin he had known. It was not much larger than the cage of saplings in which Le Beau had kept him. But it waa made of heavy logs, and the logs were notched so that nothing could knock them down, And these logs, instead of lying close- ly gne on the other, had open spaces six or eight inches wide between them. And there was a wide-open strange contraption Za ear wy VACUUM CLEANER TS CATCH FisH \ there came a strong odor of over- ripened fish, The smell Neewa, who persisted in remaining near it in spite of all Miki could do to drag him away. Finally, disgusted at his comrade’s bad taste, Miki sulked off alone to hunt. It was some time after that before Neewa dared to thrust his head and a) through the opening. The the fish made his little eyes gleam. Cautiously he stepped inside the queer looking thing of logs. Noth- ing happened. He saw the fish, all he could eat, just on the other side of 4 sapling against which he must lean to reach them, He went deliberately to the sapling, leaned over, and then! “Crash!” He whirled about as if shot. There was no longer an opening where he had entered. Tho sapling “trigger” had released an overhead door, and Neewa was a prisoner. He was not ex- cited, but accepted the situation quite coolly, probably having no doubt in his mind that somewhere ‘there was an aperture between the logs large enough for him to squeese throug! After a few inquisitive sniffs he pre ceeded to devour the fish. He was absorbed in his odoriferous feast when out of a clump of dwarfed balsams a few yards away appeared an Indian. situation, turned, and disappeared, Half an hour later this Indian ran into a clearing in which were the recently constructed buildings of a new post. He made for the com pany store, In the fur-carpet ‘office’ of this store a man was ben ing fondly over ® woman, The Indian maw them as he entered, and chuckled “Sakehewawin" (‘the love couple"); that was what they had already come to call them at Post Lac Bain—this ian and woman who had given them a great feast when the missioner had married them not so very long ago. The man and the woman stood up when the Indian entered, and the woman smiled at him. She was beautiful. Her eyes were glowing, and there was the flush of a flower In her cheeks, The Indian felt the worship of her warm in his heart, “Oo-ee, we have caught the bear,” he said. “But it is napao (a he- bear). There is no cub, Iskwao Naa- ette!” ‘The white man chuckled. “Aren't we having the darndest tuck getting you @ cub for a house-pet Nanette?” he asked, “I'd have sworn this mother and her cub would have been easily caught, A he-bear!
