On the third day Stem set hlmelf to
work on the problem of making fire. He
had not even tllnt-nnd-steel now. nor any

have collected a little hirrh-hnrk. sought

bad none of theso things, neither could he
fashion them without tools He had. there
fore, to resort to the still more prlmltlvo
method of "fire-sawing," such as long, long
ago the Australian bushmen had been wont
to practice.
Ho was a strong man. determined nnd
persistent; but two days more had passed,
and many hllrters covered his palms ere

scraped sawdust And It was with a fust
beating heart and tremulous breath that
he blew his spark to a larger one. then laid

by the ruddy blaio of n cnnipflre at the

with exultation "Tomorrow I go hunt

"Inside of a week, at this rate," he
judged, "we'll be able to start again. You
must set to work platting a couple of
sacks. The grass along tho brook is tough
and long We can carry fifty pr seventy
five pounds of meat, for emergencies. Fruits
we can gather on the way."
"And (IreT Can we carry thatT"
"We can tako a supply of properly drled

"Yea. I reckon we're more than half

walked, vvlib now and then a pause Btern
calculated they had made twelvo miles or
more before they ramped beside ft stream
that flowing thinly from the wood, sank
Into the sand nnd nn tost beforo It
reached the sea.
Here they ate nnd rested till the sun
began to pass Its meridian, when once
more they started on their pilgrimage. That
night, after a day wherein they had met
no other sign of life than gulls nnd crows
rnv aging the mussel beds, they slept on
piles of sun-dried kelp which they heaped
Into some crevices under an overhanging
brow nf low cliffs on a rocky point And
ilnwii found Ihem again, traveling steadily

In perfect comradeship and faith.
Townrd what must hnvo been about ten

they were, swimming wns out of tho ques

of the following day they reached what wai
