should spend those six months. A
friendly squirrel practically decides
the matter for him. His blood is

end his days in the forests OF Ore

and a deep love for all things of
the wild help him in reaching
decision. In large southern

| Dams appetite was not as rule par
ticularly good. But evidently the long
ride had affected him. He simply
didn't have the moral courage TO re-
fuse when the elder Lennox heaped
his plate.
Good heavens, / can't eat all that"
he said, as it was passed to him. But
the others laughed and told him to
take heart.
He took heart 1t was singular

confidence In his gustatory ability al
most overwhelmed him. So he cut

scientists call an inherited memory of
It. It's the kind Of meat your grand
father used to live on-venlson."
Soon after dinner LennOx led him
out of the house for his first glimpse
of the hills In the darkness.
They walked together out 10 the
gate, across the first of the wide pas
lures where, at certain seasons, Len
nox kept his cattle; and at last they
came out upon the tree-covered ridge.
The moon was just rising. They could
see it casting n curious CLINT over the
very tips of the pines. But it couldn't
get down between them. They stood
too close. too tall and thick for that.
And for moment, Dams only sensa-
ton was one of silence.

to really know anything" Lennox told
him.
They both stood still. Dan was as
motlonless as that day in the park,
long weeks before, when the squirrel
had climbed on his shoulder. The first
effect was sensation that the silence
