where grew a tree whose wood was
thick, but soft, spongy kind that was
very easy to drive spikes into. but Il
would hold tightly anything once driven
In. This they chopped and bewed into
thick timbers and dragged them down
10 the cage OF the water On the shore
they built boat with a fiat bottom
and low sides-so low, in fact, that any
one lying on the bottom could easily
roll out Into the lake.
Then Bonna went into his fathers
shed and got an old sheeapskin. This
they threw into the boat ana pushed
out from shore. They could see the bir
condor just rising from his nest and
starting to fly over the lake In search
of food. But the twins had penned ali
the sheep, belonging to the Village, up
In a huge barn early in the morning
SO the condor had no breakfast in sight
As the big bird few downward, the boy 3
threw themselves fiat on the bottom of
the boat and drew the sheepskin over
them.
SO to the Cordor the thing on the bot
tom of the boat looked like a nice, fat
sheep. Here was a chance for q choice
breakfast, tHouRht the bird, 30 he beat
Ills wings and sailed around in circles,
each time getting closer to the boys in
the boat. At last he guve one big
sweep and dashed down to seize the
sheep. as he thought 1t was, in his
sharp claws. But before he reached the
boys they rolled out into the water. one
on each side of the canoe. And when
the condor struck his claws II was into
tho soft, tough wood of the bottom of
the boat-there he stayed.
He screamed and tapped his wings,
but 1t was no use, for he was stuck
fast to the boat. And the boys. who
could swim like ducks, pushed 1t to-
ward the shore. Here all the MeXicans
had gathered, for they heard the wild
screams Of the condor and they could
not imagine what strange thing was
this sailing over the smooth lake to-
ward them-a condor Tapping his wings
ard riding on the water In boat that
had no sail and no oars. AS the
strange craft ran upon tho shore. tho
boys srrarg out of the water and
helped the men tie the bird, then chop
him loose from the boat.
So Toma and Bona bought their bur-
ros and cart with the 500 paid them,
and every day they would ride by the
big cage in which the eagle lived In the
center of the village.

II would swoop down on a sheep and
carry II off TO the nest on the crag
and all efforts to kill or capture the
huge bird were useless.
At last the head of the village gather
ed the people together, and II was de-
cided that to any one bringing in the
condor, either dead or alive, the town
would give 800 in gold. For weeks the
men tried, but even the best shot only
succeeded in knocking the feathers out
OF its tail.
One morning Toma called Bona and
told his brother of a plan that had come
over and decided that they would try
