day softened the heart Of Judge Wad-

were on the subway platform at lSlst

Over this he placed the wagon tongue, converting it into the ridgepole, which he set upon forks cut from the nearby ce- dars. Having trimmed branches of the trees in the grove, he laid them as close together as possible, slanting from the ridgepole to the ground, and over these laid the cedar branches. This substantial roof he next covered with dirt. heaping it up till no glimpse of wood was visible under the hard packed dome.
 Of the sideboards he fashioned rude frame, then a door to stand in it, fitted into grooves that it might be pushed and held into place without hinges.
 Later he strode forth from the only exit of the cave and skirted the south ern wall of the range, looking for game. It was late in the afternoon when he returned. He descended the dirt steps and set the door to ofe, side. Without at first understanding why, he became instantly aware that some one had been there during his absence.
