A little before dawn he dipped two
Of his new arrow-heads in the sticky
contents OF the cigarette case. fitted
them carefully TO their shafts and stole
away down the cleft Dawn found him
orouched low in the grass whore the
overflow from the pool ran out into
the plain along its little channel. He
could see large forms moving away
from him: then came the food OF Grim
son light. and he made out that the
figures were a drove OF huge Gland.
His eyes flashed with eagerness. 1t
was a long shot: but he knew that no
more was required than to pierce the
skin on any part OF his quarry's body.
He put his fingers between his teeth
and sent out a piercing whistle. II

once on deer and pronghorn antelope.
As he expected. the Gland halted and
swung half around. Their ox-like sides
presented n mark hard to miss.
He rose and shot as they were
wheeling to ny. Before he could fit his
second arrow TO the string the whole
herd were running OF at numbering

after the animals. smiling with grim
anticipation. He had seen his arrow
strike against the side OF the young
bull at which he had aimed.

arrow. As he stopped and caught II
up he saw one OF the fleeing animals
fall. When he came up with the dead
bull his first act was to recover his
arrow-tip and cut out the flesh around
the wound. Provided only with his
weak -bladed knife, he found II no easy
task to butcher 80 large beast.
Though he had now acquired consic-
cradle dexterity In the art. noon had
passed before he brought the first load
of meat UP the cleft.
