| My first acquaintance with the So
called "walking-stick" insect was un-
der somewhat peculiar circumstances,
which have served to keep its memory
green, though the event occurred many
years ago. In my younger days, when
my thirst for adventure and explora-
ton was almost insatiate, I visited
Florida for the purpose of hunting out
its rare birds and fishes. 1 had secured
an old dug-out hewn from a big cy-
press log, and with a single compan-
ion was slowly drifting down the Okla
wraha river.
1t took us three days to omake the trip
of only 100 miles. It was the second
night of our journey that the incident
In question occurred. We had landed
at the site of an old camp, on the
borders of pine clearing, where we
found shelter under a framework of
poles covered with palm leaves. At
ter cup OF coffee and supper of eggs
and pork. we spread our blankets upon
some palm trash" and went to sleep.
Along in the small hours between mid
night and morning, 1 was awakened
by something crawling over my face.
Thinking it was nothing more than
mosquito, or at the worst, perhaps
night beetle, 1 drew my hand sleepily
across my face to brush it off. / shall
never forget the sensation that thrilled
ne as my fingers closed upon some
thing hard and horny, with prickly,
wriggling legs, and apparently as big as
g centipede.
With q cry of horror, leaped to my
feet and darted outside the hut, where
the embers of our fire were still smol-
dering. Throwing some dry leaves on
the Goals, I examined the palm leaves
that had formed our couch. Meanwhile,
aroused by my cries, my companion
had followed me to the outer air, with
his revolver in hand for instant use. He
had visions of robbers and murdeTers,
at least OF wolves or catamounts; and

But when Jack grew older he was
trained to herd the goats. Previously

the bear and the dogs could not agree,
and so the dogs had to go. Jack took
their place well, and they were never
missed. For several years the bear
continued to help Ford, until the latter
sold his ranch and prepared to 60 to
his old home in Europe. Then a num-
