BALDY OF NOME 



long as his cap was frozen to his wound, 

 and only rested the five minutes that are 

 obligatory for the signing of papers and 

 the watering of the dogs. 



On the return it seemed as if Kid him- 

 self could not have done more than did 

 Baldy, and "Scotty" was amazed at the 

 way he handled himself and the team; all 

 of his latent powers developing to meet 

 the demands upon him. He proved him- 

 self indeed a leader. 



The news of the accident had been 

 telephoned to Nome, and the usual en- 

 thusiasm over the arrival of a victorious 

 team was turned into an ovation for the 

 popular and plucky little Scotchman. In 

 spite of the loss of the best dog in the Ken- 

 nel on the eve of the race, and having been 

 knocked senseless in the trail, he was still 

 winner of the Solomon Derby, and he 

 gave the credit of it all to Baldy!
