OUR CAMP ON WALNUT CREEK 



holds out, we'll be gettin' a big lot of wolfskins 

 dried. How are we going to stow 'em away to 

 take care of 'em till spring?" 



'*Well," replied Tom, "in a few days I'll rig up 

 a lever to press 'em with, an' then as fast as we 

 get a hundred or so dried we'll put fifty of 'em in 

 a pile, press 'em down tight, an' tie 'em in bales 

 with rawhide strips an' then store the bales away 

 in the tent."
