them in an instant as his heredi-

His ears laid back, and he ut

As he stepped. his forefeet swung
out, giving to his carriage an ar
rogance and a. swagger that would
have been amusing If it hadn't been

ed his back and stalked out of the
cabin.

The addition Of Harold to their
number did not influence, for long,
Firginia's old relations with Bill.
They were comrades as ever; they
talked and chatted around the little
stove in the hushed nights; they
played their favorite melodies on
the battered photograph. and they
took the same joyous. exciting ex-
petitions into the wild.
One morning Bill called her
early. a
We're face to face with a new
problem" he announced. 1.-THE
pack came by last night-the wolf
pack. l didn't hear them at all.
And they got away with the big
moose ham, hanging on the spruce. >
Then we're out of meat%'
"All except the little piece out
side the door. We've been goiE Z
through it pretty fast"
Bill spoke true. Their meat con-
sumption had practically doubled
since Harold had come.
But if you care to-" Bill went
on, we can dash out and see if we
can pick up young caribou or 4
leftover moose"
She dressed, and at breakfast
their exultation- over their trip
grew painful to Harold's ears. He
announced his intention OF goir 6
along.
' Bill took rather a new course to
day. He bent his steps toward a
stream that he called Greek De-
spair-named for the fact that ne
had once held high hopes of find
ing his lost mine along its waters,
only to meet an utter and hopeless
| failure.
After proceeding a long distance
Bill glanced back in warning and
pointed TO an enhancing wilder
ness picture, a hundred yards in
front.
In a little glade and framed by
the forest stood large bull carr
bou. flashing and incredibly vivid
against the snow
: incidentally he made a first-class
target-one that it seemed impos-
sible to miss.

BRACELETS FROM HAIR
ON ELEPHANT TAIL

Last December Mrs. G. H. Lynn re-
ceived from her brother, David Byerlee,
and Mrs. Byerlee, who are at Bolenge.
Beige Congo, engaged in missionary
work a box of African curios for
Christmas presents. Among them were
bracelets which local folk thought were
made from some kind of grass roots.
The articles were displayed and created
no small interest. In letter Just re-
ceived Mrs. Byerlee says:
"You will hardly believe me when |
tell you what the bracelets are made
of. But David assures me they are
made of the hairs of an elephants tail.
He saw an elephant that some natives
had killed when he was itinerating and
he declares they have few very long,
stiff, black hairs on their tails and that
the natives were making bracelets from
them likelthe one sent you.
Eyes | have seen one big snake. 1t
was young python and was Is feet
long. The natives said it was only
'bonyon,' that is a child, meaning it
was small because it was young.
81 wish you could see the old chief
who is here now with his wife, the lat
ter receiving medical treatment. He
wears tall, cone-shaped monkey-skin
hat with fringed chin straps of the
same material and strung with beads.
His legs and arms are adorned with
brass bracelets. A necklace of highly
polished leopard's teeth adorns his
bare breast. He wears small loin
cloth and a dirty red cloth, which
leaves his legs bare in front but which
is fastened at the ankles in the back.
From a rear view he appears to be
wearing Turkish trousers. He wears
a long bell in front of him, hanging
from his belt of woven grasses. 1t
rings from the motion of his body.

old man in the office. He had mag
net and was picking up various iron
and steel objects. He then had the
old chief try to pick up pin, of brass,
and of course not attracted by the
magnet. When be failed to lift the

We're gladly welcomed after many
months Of bondage as invalids.
A little business was dispatched as
quickly as possible for the long antici-
pated pleasure Of listening to Mrs.
Castner, who has helped make Hood
River, famous, was ours.
She brought with her a friend rather
two friends-Mrs. Sletton and Miss
Howes, her accompanist. Mrs. Slet-
ton sang two songs Of spring most de-
lightfully and then Mrs. Castner be-
gan talking. She is gifted with fine
mind and an unassuming manner.
We had just spokent of the spring
cleanup and the problem of hauling
the rubbish away had come up. She
said they had the same problems at
Hood River and finally solved that of
hauling by each one paying 25 cents
when their rubbish was taken. Would
this plan be a good one for US to fol-
low?
Her first theme was that of Fedora
ton. She suggested we take neces-
sary steps for the formation of a dis
trict federation. She appreciated the
disadvantage of our geographic loca-
tion and felt sure with a district feder-
alton of women's clubs, we could make
our influence felt as now we cannot do.
Shall we try to do this?
We were reminded that these are not
times for women to sit calmly in their
chimney corners. With the franchise
come greater responsibilities. Our
work among others is to Investigate
the condition of our state institutions
and in every way possible help the un-
fortunate about US.
She brought to our attention a num-
Der Of problems Of today. When her
time was up she said she bad touched
upon only about half Of the theme she
had jotted down. One Of our members
wittily remarked we shall expect her
TO come back soon and give rs the
other half. We shall want 10 hear her
when she eomes.-White Salmon En-

1t was Mark Twain, wans't it, who
painted the ecstatic glee of a cock
roach, one of colony in his newspa-
per office, after il had slipped from
pot of fermented paste? According to
the humorist's story, that roach be-
came a confirmed topper and warily
came forth daily from his hiding under
a bunch of paper scraps to seek his
toddy, and as regularly he ambled
bravely away, probably singing a
maudlin roach song.
Animals as well as insects seem to
have a hankering for alcoholic stimu-
liant. A rat recently appeared at The
Glacier Office, and made nightly raids
on the paste bucket. The rodent was
first sighted by Roger w. Moe. who
saws he saw what he thought was a
snake swaying ITS head from the paste
pot. A closer scrutiny disclosed a
rats tail in ecstatc motion. Mr.. Moe
SAYS that rat, attracted by the noise he
made in closing door, raised up from
its meal Of sour mixture and observed
him.
"I'll swear" says Mr.. Moe, eff that
rats eyes didn't seem TO sparkle. He
seemed 70 say: Have some - it's
fine. "
But alas. a horde Of rats has been
bedeviling merchants here lately and
somebody laid poison for them. The
Glacier rat fell a victim 10 some lure
Of the chemists art. Perhaps he was
on the way 20 the old paste bucket,
hoping for relief from that burning
pain in has tummy. Anyhow he died
somewhere in the underpining Of the
First National Bank building where,
unseen and unwept. his body turned
