''Then you must run away as fast as

and then turn this way, across the
swamp. That is ALL
To make certain that EolIin would

They followed the tracks. as eau
tiously as they could. For some dis.
tance the path led them through the
woods, where the trees lowered high
above their heads, making a twilight,
with their thick boughs. AT last they
reached the top of hill. beyond
which was an open space made by a
swamp. in which the black water
stood among tufts and tussocks of
grass. On the other side OF this open
space they could see the mastodons
browsing along the banks of a little
stream which fed the swamp.
"Stop here and let me look" Nam
whispered
He looked long and carefully at the
swamp, noting every tuft of grass and
every pool of water. Then he turned
his eyes to the herd and saw that one
of the largest of the mastodons, a. huge
beast with enormous curling tusks,
was feeding a little apart from the
others and nearer. the edge OF the
swamp.
Now" he said to NoIlin, listen
carefully to what I shall say. We will

who sent them remained out of reach
in place of safety.
When Nam reached the hut he found
that a sad accident had happened. The
man had heen attacked in their hunting
by a bear which they had sought to
capture, and the beast had struck Mans
father on the shoulder with his claws
making a deep wound, which would
prevent him: from hunting for many
days TO come. He had been brought
home by the others and he law in the
hut on bed of branches, while Mans
mother bathed the. hurts with cold
water The old grandfather was tend
ing the fire, and Nam very sorrowfully
cut OF some pieces from the hump OF
bear meat that the men had left and
roasted them for supper
'Tm sure..I don't know what we shall
do" Nanl's mother said while they were
eating. I'VE can not expect the Others to
supply us with food when they have so
little for themselves. II you were only
larger and stronger. Nam. you could
hunt for us and 1t would not make so
much difference"
Perhaps shall be able to provide
meat for us Nam replied. Il have a
plan in my head
I'm afraid you will never be much
of hunter, Nam, for all your think
Ing" his mother said, with shake of
her head.
Nevertheless Nam kept on thinking
az he lay on his couch of pine needles,
looking UP at the stars through the
branches of, the trees until he fell
asleep. And by thinking very hard in
deed he finished his plan.
He went early the next morning, be-
fore the sun rose. TO arouse another boy
whom he wanted to help him. This boy.
was named NolIin ard he had very long
legs, which made him a great runner
He was about the same age that Nam
was
Nollin was willing to help and Nam
led him along the river bank until they
reached the place where the mastodons
had come out of the woods the night
before. Their broad round tracks were
plain enough in the earth, and the boys
set out very quietly to follow them.
You don't expect to kill one. OF them
with that" Nollin said, scornfuily,
pointing to the bow that Nam carried.
Never. mind how I expect to kill
one" Nam replied. You must do ex-
tions." r..
II wish YOU would tell me what your
plan is,'s Nollin said.
Not now." said Nam; TIL tell you at
the right time"
Now the mastodons. although not 80
warlike as some OF the other great
beasts, were the most cunning OF all,
just as the elephants are today. So it
was a dangerous undertaking for the
two boys to try to kill one of them.
Even the men were satisfied to let them
alone when they could find anything
else to kill. But Nam was very sure.
that his plan was a good one and NolIin
did not think much about the matter,
as he was not in the habit of thinking
about anything.

Between the men of that time and the
great beasts there was bitter warfare,
which never ceased. The beasts We're
mostly larger and stronger than the
men, and they lay in wait for them to
pounce upon them whenever they could
find a chance. Some of the beasts were
very cunning, but the men, although
weaker. were far more cunning than
they. Moreover, while the beasts had
only their teeth and claws to fight with,
the men had clubs, weighted at, the end
with heavy stones, and arrows tipped
with flint, which were more deadly than
either claws or teeth and which could
be sent from distance. while the man

FARMERS MAKE
VIGOROUS PROTEST
MASS MEETING CALLED
TO CONSIDER SHIP SCHEME
j. II. Lieuallen, President Farmers
Union, Calls Meeting for Next Sat-
urday, Senators and Congressman to
Offer Advice.

For the purpose of protesting in a
vigorous manner against the scheme
of the Merchants Marine league to
have foreign ships barred from haul
ing Pacific coast grain to Europe, the
farmers of the county will hold mass
meeting at the court house in this
city next Saturday afternoon.
]. T. Lieuallen, president of the
farmers cooperative union, has call
ed the meeting. 1t will be held in the
circuit court room at the court house
at 1880 next Saturday and all citizens
are requested to attend.
1--WE want all to attend, whether
farmers, business men or professional
men," said Mr.. Lieuallen today. 1.-The
question to be up is one in which all
the county is interested and if all
classes will turn out at the mass
meeting the protest against the OBJ
jecionable move will be the greater" /"
According to Mr. Lieuallen, Sena-
tor Bourne and Senator Chamberlain
and Congressman Ellis will be asked
to attend the meeting and to offer
advice as to the best course for the
farmers to take in order to assist in
defeating the Merchant Marines
scheme.
The Proposition.
At this time the Merchant Marine
league is seeking to have the govern
ment make an order forbidding the
handling of wheat by ships bringing
coal to this coast for use by the navy.
Under the proposition the ships will
have to return to the Atlantic with
ballast, leaving the wheat business
for local ships entirely. If this plan
goes through, according TO the grain
buying companies. the price of car
rying wheat to Europe will be in
creased at least 81 per ton and the
outcome will be that the farmers of
the inland empire will receive JUST
three cents per bushel less for their
wheat than they now receive.
