cited him at once. He threw off his hat
and opened his jack-knife.
'Tryin' to dig your way out, are ye?"
he exclaimed, as II to the ground hog.
"Mebbe the wood is rotten. II can get
into you, old fellow. Wen see-e-e-e!'
Zim began squeezing himself into the
hollow Of the log, and the operation
was evidently a close pull. Had he
been the merest trifie larger he never
could have wormed his way down as he
did. until nothing but his toes protrud-
ed.
The ground hog snarled. The boys
position was intensely disagreeable. as
he soon found out. The rush OF blood
to his head, and the difficulty in draw
ing breath both warned him to hasten.
1t was moreover. so dark that he could
see nothing. Reaching forward. his
hand was snapped at. but he managed
to get hold OF the animal.
There was brief struggle. Zim held
on with one hand and used his knife

with the other. Presently the ground
hog ceased it's efforts and gave up the
fight, and it's life as well.
But when Zim ATTEMPTED to withdraw
from the log he found he could not stir.
His head was downhill, nor was there
room to work himself backward. To add
to his distress. his toes. in the struggle
had lost their hold upon the upper end
OF the log.
Zim realized that II he remained in
that situation much longer he would
surely suffocate, though the chance OF
being heard by human ears in that Sc
cluded ravine was dismally uncertain.
Yet, in the very ecstacy OF his fear, he
continued to yell for aid. The swirl of
blood to his brain, the stuffy choking
darkness. and. more than all, the APP
palling sense that he might die there,
were almost more than he could en-
dure. With a vague pricking Of pity for
the ground hog and dazed idea that
he was being punished for MS own
mercilessness, he felt his head whir'
diZZily.
Then something made a noise outside.
The log was pulled round turning over
and zim was drawn from his narrow
prison.
He was more exhausted by his emo
lions than by the struggle he had under
gone. One hand still held the jack
knife, while the other clutched the dead
ground hog. He was scratched, and his
clothes were torn. but he was alive. He
sat up, blinking the dust from his eyes
and looked at his preserver.
