At the end of another mile they
came to creek with a steep and rocky
bank on one side. Dan climbed up the
bank to see what it was like while Joe
was building a fire, and presently he
called out:
There is a great mass of rock up
here, and in the middle of it is a cave.
Come up and see it. It Will be a good
place for us to sleep in tonight"
Joe climbed UP, and when he had
put his head and shoulders into the
mouth of the cave and drawn a long
breath, he said:
1T is the cave OF some wild animal.
1t smells as if a bear made his home
here. Let me get a blazing stick and
see if he is at home"
Fire was brought and flung into the
cave. but when no movement was

longer than a barrel, but once within
it was quite a room It was decided
that it might be occupied for the night

CHAPTER v.
Although the boys were as comfort
able as any one can be seated on the
limb of a tree, there was no sleep for
them that night Whenever they be-
gan to dOze they found themselves
falling, and Dan was all the time in
fear that a bear would come along
and climb the tree after them.
For an hour after night shut down
the forest was very quiet. Then there
were noises from every direction. The
big wood crickets began to chirp, the
owls to WhOOp, and the CoOns, pos
sums and foxes to skulk about. and
now and then they heard afar off the
howl of a wolf or the cry Of wildcat
or panther.
The dog that had come to them was
q courageous fellow, and the boys saw
that he must be used to the noises Of
the woods. He did not leave his place
at the foot of the tree until about 10
o'clock.
Then they heard bear breaking his
way through the underbrush. The dog
Eprang Up and gave tongue, and the
boys cried out. and between the three
Of them the bear got scared and made
of
He must have wondered what sort
of game he had come across. That
was the only real alarm during. the
night If any wolves came that way
they were careful not to draw too near.
When morning daWned the boys
dropped to the found and found they
must pick up a breakfast as best they
could. Although the dog started up
two or three rabbits and gave them
chase he did not succeed in overtak-
ing them. However, they found plenty
of chestnuts and thorn apples and
with a drink from a cold brook man
aged to stay their hunger. When they
had finished, Joe said:
81 do not know that we can do any
thing except to keep on walking. AS
long as we can see the sun we can
keep our direction, and in the end we
are sure to come out somewhere.
Dan hadn't the courage of his broth
err. Besides. his loss of sleep had
broken him UP, and one of his boots
was rubbing away at his heel. He
began to Whimper and declare that
ne could not walk a mile, but after
Joe had called him a BOBBY and
laughed at his tears, he rose UP and
followed on
one of the searching parties was
within three miles Of them at noon
that day, but as there was a strong
wind blowing in contrary direction,
the boys did not hear the discharge of
firearms and the blowing of horns At
noon they rested for an hour. and
dug roots and plucked wild grapes for
their food.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
boys met with an adventure They
were Walking along a path in the
woods which really was a deer trail
and of a sudden they heard a queer
noise behind them They had Just
time to step aside when a buck deer
flashed past them, and close at his
heels was a single wolf.
Before the lost boys could be sure
of what they had seen. the dog uttered
q bark and took after the wolf. Five
minutes later there was a great growl-
Ing and snarling in the forest ahead
and presently the boys came upon the
wolf and the dog.
he was big wolf but having
chased the deer for miles he was i'm
no condition to fight The dog had
overtaken him and seized him by the
throat, and he was shaking the last
of the life out of the beast as the boys
came up.
