Now and then Thor would stop and enirt

quietly ho crept out on the logs.
Midway In tho stream ho paused, and with
his right paw gently brushed back the scum
so that an open pool of clear water lay
directly under him. I

Tho water of tho lake lay still, nnd dark,
nnd deep, with black and Runless pools hid
ing themselves under tho roots of trees,
so closo did tho forest cling to It. Thero
wero no rocks to climb over, but dank, soft
logs, thick windfalls nnd litters of brush.
Tho nlr wns different, too it was very
still Under their feet at times was a won
derfut carpet of soft moss In which Thor
sank nearly to his armpits. And tho forest
was filled with a strongo gloom nnd many
mybterlnua shadows and thero hung heavily
In It tho pungent smells of decaying vege
tation. Thor did not travel so swiftly hero. Tho
silence and tho gloom nnd the oppressively
scented nlr seemed to rouse his caution.
Ho stepped quietly; frequently ho stopped
and looked about lilm, nnd listened : he
duelled at tho edges of pools hidden under
tho roots ; every new sound brought him
to a stop, his head hung low and his cars
alert.
Several times Muskwa saw shadowy
things floating through the gloom. They
wero tho big gray owls that turned snow
white in winter. And once, when it was
almost dark, .they camo upon a pop-eyed.
looso-Jolnte.d, fierce-looking creature In tha
trail who i-rurried away like a ball at sight
of Thor. It was a lynx.
It was not qulto dark when Thor came
out very quietly Into a clearing, and Musk
wa found himself first on tho Ehoro of a
creek, nnd then closo. to n big pond. Tho
nlr was full of the breath nnd warmth of
a new kind of life. It was not fish, nnd yet
It seemed to como from the pond, In the
center of which wero threo or four circular
masses that looked like great brush-heaps
plastered with a coating of mud.
Whenever he came Into this end of the
valley Thor always paid a visit to the
beaver colony, and occasionally he helped
himself to a fat young beaver for supper
or breakfast. This evening ho wns .not
hungry, and he was In a hurry. In spite
of these two facts, he stood for some min
utes In the shadows near tho pord.
Tho boavers had already begun, their
night's work. Muskwa soon understood the
significance of the shimmering streak that
ran swiftly over tho surface of the water.
At the end of each streak was always a
dark, flat head, and now ho saw that most
of these streaks began at the farther edge
of the pond and mado directly for a long,
low barrier that shut In the water a hun
dred yards to tho east
This particular barrier was strange to
Thor nnd with his maturor knowledge of
beaver ways he knew that his engineering
friends whom ho ate only occasionally
were broadening their domain by building
a now dam. As they watched, two fat work
men shoved a four-foot length of log Into
tho pond with a big splash, and ono of them
began piloting It toward the scone of build
ing operations, whllo his companion re
turned to other work. A llttlo later thero
was a crash In the timber on the opposite
elde of the pond, where another workman
had succeeded In felling a tree. Then Thor
mado hla way toward tho dam. '
Almost Instantly there was a tcrrlfio
crack out In the middle of the pond, fol
lowed by a tremendous splash. An old
beaver had seen Thor and with the flat side
of his broad tall had given the surface of
the water a warning slap that cut tho still
air like a rifle shot All at once there wero
splashlngs and divings In every, direction,
and a moment later the pond was ruftied
and heaving as a soore of Interrupted
workers dove excitedly under the surface
to the safety of their bruah-rlbbed and mud
plastered strongholds, and Muskwa was so
absorbed In the general excitement that he
almost forgot to follow Thor.
He overtook the grizzly at the dam. For
a few moments Thor Inspected tho new
work and then tested It with his weight
It was solid, and over this bridge ready
built for them they crossed to the higher
ground on the opposite sldo. A few hundred
yards farther on Thor struck a fairly well
beaten caribou trail which In the course of
half an hour led them around the end of
the lake to the outlet stream Bowing north.
Every mlfiuta .Mualrwa wa 'hoping that
Thor would ito VH afterRoon's nop had
not taken tU .Imiimh OW vt J H nor
the soreness from the tender pads of his
feet He had bad enough, and mora than
enough, of travel, and could ha have reg
ulated tho world according to his own
withes ha would not have walked another
rail for a whole month. Mere walking
would not havo ben so bad, but to kcop
up with Thor's ambling gait ho was com
pelled to trot. Ilka a stubby four-year-old
child hamrlnc desperately to the thumb of
a big and faM-walklng man. Muskwa had
not oven a thumb to hang to.
Tho bottom:! of his feet wero like bolls i
hla tender noso was raw from contact with
brush nnd tho knlfo-edged marsh grass, and
hla llttlo back felt all caved In. Still he
hung on desperately, until tha creek-bottom
was again rand and gravel and traveling
was easier.
Tho stars wcro up now, millions of them,
clear nnd brilliant; and It was quite evi
dent that Thor had set hla mind on an
'all-night hlko, a kuppatlpsk plmootao,
as a Crea tracker would havo called It
Just how It would han ended for Muskwa
la a matter of conjecture had not tho spir
its of thunder nnd rnln nnd lightning put
tholr beads together to glvo him a reet.
For perhaps nn hour tho stars wcro un
dimmed, and Thor kept on like a heathen
without a soul, while Muskwa limped on
all four feel. Then n low rumbling gath
ered in tho west. It grow louder and louder,
and approached swiftly straight from the
warm Pacific Thor grow uneasy and
sniffed In tho face of It. Livid streaks be
gan to criss-crosn a hugo pall of black that
was closing in on them llko a ast cur
tain. Tlio stars began to go out. A moan
ing wind came. And then the rain.
Thor had found a huge rock that shelved
Inward, llko a lean-to, nnd ho crept back
under thts with Muckwa before tho deluge
descended For many mlnutea It was moro
like a Hood than a ruin It sornied as
though a part of tho Pacific Oeian had
lieen scooped up nnd dropped en them, and
in half an hour the creek was a swollen
torrent
Tho lightning nnd the crash of thunder
terrified Muskwa. Now ho could seo Thor
in gr.'.n blinding flashes of fire, nnd tho
next instant It was as black ns pitch; tho
t'lpo of the mountains seemed falling down
into tho valley; tho earth trembled and
shook- -and bo snuggled closer and clofer
to Thor until nt last ho lay between his
two forearms, hnlf burled, In tho long
hair of the big grizzly's shaggy chest Thor
himself was not much concerned In these
noisy convulsions of nature, except to keep
himself dry. When ho took a bath he
wanted tho Dim to bo shining nnd a nlco
warm rock closo at hand on which to
stretch himself.

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
T1IK PARADE
By Farmer Smith
Kverythlng was iulet unco more In Goat
vllle and every ono breathed easier, for they
all thought thero would bo a chanco to rest.
I.lttle did they know what was In store for
them. Perhaps they had forgotten that
thero was to bo a parado in honor of Billy
Bumpus's return from war. It was to bo a
grand affair.
nut let us proceed to the morning of tho
parade.
It seemed as though the sun knew that
something wns going on, for It shone Its
brightest and tho whole world seemed glad
that thero was to bo somo excitement again
In Goatvllle.
And Billy Bumpus!
At tho very moment of which we aro
speaking he Is curled up In bed enjoying
his sweet rest. Over him elands his good
wife softly sighing to herself, "Ah! my
hero."
Then Mrs. Bumpus suddenly remembers
that today Is to bo the parado In honor of
her hero, and she softly touches Billy on
tho forehead. The sleeper yawns and slow,
ly opens his eyes.
. "Whv did you wake mo so early In the
"morning, .mother?" nked Billy, trying to
open both eyes nt once.
"Knrly? It Is late, my dear, and you are
to bo the guest of honor at the parade to
day. Hurry and get up," answered Mrs.
Bumpus,
"You say that I am to be the guest of
honor? Is thero going to be nnything to
eat?" Billy was nwake enough to realize
that there must bo something tremendous
going on and that he wu tho center of It
"i do not know nbout tho eating part, but
you are my hero and I wnnt you to be there
on time. You may have to make a speech.
What nro you going to talk about?" Mrs.
Bumpus became curious.
"I nm going to talk nbout fifteen min
utes," replied Billy.
"No, no! I mean, what are you going
to talk on."
Billy roso on his elbow. "I am going to
talk on the platform. Why do you ask?"
"I am Interested In everything you do, and,
therefore, I want to know what Is the sub
ject of your address," replied Mrs. Bumpus,
Then sho added, "But hurry and dress In
your best Sunday-go-to-mcetlng clothes, for
you must look your best"
Billy dressed hurriedly, but, try ns she
could to muke him get to the grand stand
on time. Mrs. Bumpus could not get Billy oft
before 10 o'clock, and by that time every,
body In Goatvlllo was out of doors waiting
to see tho parade.
How proud Mrs. Bumpus was!-
Mr. and Mrs. Bumpus went down the
main street of tho town nrm in arm. while
on every side Billy was cheered to the echo.
At length they reached the grand stand,
whero Billy was given tho seat of honor.
No sooner had he taken his seat than some
one shouted, "Three cheers for our hero I"
Billy got up, A smile stole over his face
as he stoou ineru vcture mo mrong.
"Speech!" shouted somo one. But before
Billy could reply the parade started, and. in
tho distance could bo heard the sound of
the band. On came the marchers, many of
them carrying hugo banners on which were
painted, "Hall to our Hero, Billy Bumpus!"
At length tho throng pressed around Billy
and shouted for a speech. As Billy rose,
some one handed him a note. He opened It
hastily and read It. Then he turned pale.
It was what he had been expecting!
