loaf of stale bread, I thought at first; | 
then I noticed that the cover of the 
can in which I kept my rice was off, 
and that the can was upset. The rice 
was strewn amongst my bedding. 
“Well, the nervy little cuss!” J] 
laughed: then saw to it that the lids 
were tight on my other cans of food 
stuff. 
“Have to watch out for those little 
devils. They’re well-named camp- 
robbers. He’ll come back: see if he 
don’t. See, there he sits on that small 
spruce bough. Get your rifle and show 
me how well you can shoot.” 
“What, kill him for taking a little 
rice? Not me, Bob. Now if it was a 
panther—” 
“Well, there’s some of them critters 
around this section, too: and if I was 
you I’d see that my pony had a safe

Then, of course, I had to tell Bob 
about the panther I’d seen. 
“But don’t tell the folks, 
worry mother if she knew.” 
“T’ll be dumb, son. Now don’t you 
get sort of lonesome here? Sh’d think 
a young fellow like you would crave 
more excitement than living in the tall 
timber.”

Bob didn’t know that my life in the | 
woods was one perpetual round of. 
healthy excitement: that from day to 
day—yes, and from hour to hour—new 
and interesting matters were continu- 
ally arising to keep my mind occupied 
as well as my hands. Oh, for that 
same life again! There’s a greater 
“kick” in the forest fragrance than in 
the best liquor ever distilled; there’s 
more satisfaction in turning a square 
yard of forest land into a food-produe-| 
ing area than it is to be found in win- 
ning a game of pool or billiards in a 
smoke-laden atmosphere: there’s a. 
bigger thrill for me in laying the foun-_ 
dation for a log chicken coop than| 
there would be in laying the corner-| 
stone of a palacc with a silver trowel 
and perfumed mortar: there’s the wild 
life to watch—the insects, birds, beasts, 
all laboring to live, even as I labored 
to live. Take for example the inci- 
dent of—. But no, I must keep events 
in their natural order, and tell of the 
pileated woodpecker later. 
Well, I fear I have digressed from 
my story somewhat, so I must return. 
Bob and I got the lumber unloaded; 
then, with the aid of my saw and ham- 
mer and a few spikes, we managed to 
fix the wagon pole so Bob could get 
back to the mill. 
And right here I must surely recdll

shows that a man’s exterior does: not) 
always disclose the character beneath 
it. Before Bob and his team. took the
