Two months later they start out and recon- noiter an Indian camp. They avoid the camp without making their presence known, CHAPTER XI—Continued — “Cree camp—four men—below here —Black Jack—five sleds—at little pond. Etience,” slowly translated Brock. “Great glory, Gaspard, that'll run ‘em out of the country!” “W’en dey see dat, dey head for de coast, eh?” laughed the crafty half- breed. “I geeve dem good scare w'en dey hear Black Jack ees on dere traii wid five-dog team.” “That's a great idea! Unless the wind rises they'll know that some- body's walked the lake trail, last night, in that snow. Now, instead of following us up today, they’ll likely quit trapping and carry the news to that white man I got my hooks into, and the big boss at their main camp. You're a genius, old pard. Put ’er there!” The grinning friends shook each others’ mittened hands. Gaspard’s stratagem was a flash of genius, for five sled teams meant at least ten men on the trail of the free-traders’ Cree servants. The news that five sled teams of provincial police were in the country should cause a speedy stam- pede north if—they didn’t smell a rat in this bold message left on a trav- eled trap-line trail. “Of course,” said Brock, “they may spot this for just what it is—a bluff.” Gaspard nodded in agreement. “Dey t'ink eet ver’ strange for sure, but dey weel have worry just de sam’, I know dem Cree.” Gaspard’s Indian blood enabled him to read only too well the mercurial and superstitious mental make-up of his mother's people—to know their weaknesses and value their sturdier qualities. “Well, let’s go, we've got a long day ahead,” said Brock. “I'll take a last squint at the lake trail to see if they've started this way.” Returning from the shore, he said, as he slipped his feet into the thongs of his shoes and fol- lowed Gaspard into the southeast, “No sight of 'em yet, they're a lazy crew.” Through quiet: February days the two snowshoed through forest and scrub, over ridges and around ponds, sometimes, for miles, following the convenient thoroughfares of deadwa- ters and streams, but they avoided crossing all lakes and barrens. These they circled, for on open lake or mus- keg they could be seen for great dis- tances. But, to their surprise, they ‘erossed no country trapped by their enemies. Evidently the mysterious dis- appearance of their friends had aroused in the trappers of “Red Beard” a wholesome dread of the Yel- low-Leg Lake watershed. Neverthe- less, not for an instant did the canny Gaspard relax his vigilance as the two traveled soutneast in the direction of the outlet of the big lake. Frequently through the day, while Brock kept on, the halfbreed buried himself in a elump of spruce or fir to watch the kack trail. If there was a bold and shrewd enough man in the camp they had seen at the lake, the boys would this camp to hunt us from. He didn’t stop to hunt for his partner—this Lit: tle Jacques—but made tracks. Not much like a partner I've got.” Two days later they were back in their camp south of Big Yellow-Leg. Through February, or Mikisiwipisim, the Cree Moon of the Eagle, there was little rest for the two trappers, who were daily adding to their fur-pack, In the timber the snow had settled and in the barrens, the wind haq hammered and packed it, greatly im proving the sledding. Every twc¢ days now, Brock made the circuit of his lines with Flasn. The fur was not so prime as in the early winter, but, after the winds and blizzards of Jan- uary, foxes and lynx were traveling more, fisher and marten extending their ranges, and the otter seeking new fishing water which he entered at the broken ice of falls and rapids. Often they found their traps sprung and bait eaten by thieving squirrel and whisky-jack. Sometimes the tal- ons of the horned or snowy owl marked the snow around a pilfered trap; and once, a lynx trap held the legs and feet of an imprisoned “snowy” which a plundering wolver- ine had calmiy torn to pieces. For ten days this carcajou baffled the in- gen.ity of Gaspard and Brock. Time and again, with an uncanny shrewd- ness, he avoided the traps buried in the snow beside baited fisher cabanes and lynx sets; but in the end he fell victim to his own cunning. For, one night, in the act of tearing down the rear of a fisher cabane, to avoid pass- ing the trap set in front of the bait, he stepper. into the circle of traps buried in the snow by the boys in an- ticipation of this very maneuver. It was a veritable demon o: fury and savage desperation that Brock | and Flash found waiting them, one quiet morning. As he watched their approach, the evil, red eyes of the trappeu carcajou flamed with hate, Crouched in the snow, his rust-brown “Is your husband as loving and af- fectionate as ever?” “I guess so.

With a roar, Flash started to the battle with the strange foe who chal- lenged him, but, with a auick move- ment, Brock had him by the collar. “No, you don’t, old boy!” eried Brock, holding his enraged husky, harnessed to the sled, as the crouched wolverine, anchored to the caught clog of the trap, snarled his defiance, his thick forelegs tensed for the double slash of knife-like claws which awaited Flash’s lunge. “We need you whole and sound, for March, old part: ner! You're not going to get sliced up fighting that feller! You might kill him in the end—break his neck; but he’d hurt you for sure, before he died,” So, lashing the maddened puppy, hot for battle, to a spruce, Brock ad- vanced cautiously, with his ax, the head reversed.

Poultry Houses Badly Infested With Vermin ‘When ,a poultry house becomes bad- ly infested with mites, it is hard to control them with one application of any material. Mites may gather in the walls and around the ceiling and under the dropping boards or behind insulating material in the walls. They bird as a means to live and if the perches are treated about once each week for a few weeks, all the miteg in the house will eventually gather there and be killed. The nests often need considerable spraying, especially if they consist of boxes nailed on the side walls of the house, By adding a little carbolineum to the kerosene oil or engine oil, the paint the roosts, dropping boards, and mites, it may be best to whitewash make the surface as smooth as pos- sible.

Nation Can Have No Greater Concern Than Development of Its Youth By OSCAR LEONARD, B'nai B'rith Leader. The problem of American Jewry, in common with that of America itself, is that of its youth. The greatest concern of any people must be But this is truer of Jews, since we are a minority group. We must do something to save the Jewish youth for the Jewish people. We must give them something of the ideals which have animated our people through the ages. For a time we were so busy finding our place in America that we almost forgot our youth, and particularly our intellectuals. The result its youth, because that is its future, being that many of them left us, or were about to leave us. Chauncey Baldwin, a prominent Christian at the University of Illinois, who called the attention of the B’nai B’rith to this peculiar situation. The B’nai B'rith, with its record of more than four score years of serv- ice, took up this work first in Illinois. The B'nai B’rith Hillel founda- tion was established there. This work was so successful that requests came from other universities for similar foundations. the foundation gives Jewish university students the opportunities to meet together for social, spiritual and intellectual purposes. Medical Profession Must Find Methods of Giv- ing Proper Care to the Needy By DR. MALCOLM M. HARRIS, Chicago. Unless the medical profession adopts methods of caring for needy patients the medical foundation societies will. This will be to the detri- ment of the profession. Millions of dollars are being endowed to founda- tions. The doctors in them work on salaries. The idea is advanced that the patients are patients, first of the hospital, second of the doctor. It is the belief of the people that the medical profession is charging prices so high as to make its services available only to the rich, that it is | failing to fulfill its obligations. The people are providing this other method. Exorbitant charges by surgeons are crimes against society. No physi- cian, no matter how eminent, is justified in making such charges. “Charges They must not be greater than the must be fair, honorable and just. financial status of the patient justifies, County medical societies should include every reputable physician and should create institutions for the care of persons of slight means, with every physician pledging a certain amount of time to the institu- tion. Only persons of limited means would be treated and they would pay according to their means. Faith in Mankind and Belief in God Inseparable, Though Not Easy By DR. CHARLES F. WISHART, President Wooster College. Christianity is committed to fundamental faith in man and encour- ages men to see submerged possibilities in the most insignificant human through the power of Christ in their lives. “Honor All Men” is the very essence of Christianity. Belief in God and belief in man are inseparable, A thorough belief in man is manifestly not easy. In fact, it is not much easier than a belief in God. It takes a great soul to believe in God. Tt is about the largest achievement of the human spirit. Next to that is belief in man. It takes a great man to sense the greatness of all men, to work your way down beneath the overlay of circumstances, the appar- ent limitations, the puzzling inconsistencies, below the commonplace Where estahlished, constipation is relieved; or diarrhea checked.
