and draw him smoothly over the -snow-covered
ground as he went his rounds. Dave remembers
as youngster of three or four, being bundled
onto the sled, almost buried with thick furs, and
taken for his daily airing, which often extended
to several days. including night camps in the snow.
There were times of course, when the trapper
had to be gone for many days-when he went
down the trail to dispose of his pelts and bring
back supply of provisions. Then he would leave
Dave with some dependable old Indian squaw. But
aside from these times the boy was his inseparabe
companion A fine, strong intimacy grew up be-
tween the two that is almost impossible to have
in region where superficial social demands
tinuay divert the mind
If you talk with Dave he will tell you how he
managed in his far-off cabin to learn enough to
come to college. 1t is simple thing to get
books when you have to travel 200 miles by dog
sled to call for your mail They don't have electric
lights in the Alaskan wilderness! Dave didn't even
have lamp to read blythe kerosene would have
had to be hauled too far He did his studying by
freight. After long days of work Dave would
settle down for great night of study and thinking
and writing. Arctic nights are months long, and
he made good use of them. He poured over the
little library that the two had gradually collected,
book by book, magazine by magazine. Great fig
of history seemed to take new life of
their in the warm light of the fire Modern
leaders became real to the young lad.
MYTH the older man close by and ready to
w help him over the sticking places, Dave
puzzled out thick volumes of mathematics
and languages and economics. With the great
minds of many ages to inspire him, he forgot his
isolation. He made ready for the time that he
should shoulder his few possessions and go out to
be upbuilding force in troubled world.
Last summer the boy and foster-father agreed
that the time had come for Dave to make his
first journey into the world The break was hard.
1t was hard for Dave, who had his way to make
alone in world that didn't yet know of his exis-
tence. 1t was harder for the father who was to
remain in the little cabin alone = alone with
nothing but the memory of the chubby youngster
that he used to draw the dazzling white crust
of the winter mountains sled Of his
making; of the eager child who learned his A C's
and multiplication tables the long tramps they
took together; of the tall youth whose quick intel
ligence and responsive mind made him as fine
helper and comrade as any could wish for.
There would be letters from Dave, but such
long time to wait when got the mail only four
times year! Would Dave remember the ideals
of truth and generosity and service that had been
faithfully instilled into him from earliest baby
hood? "Tell the truth and stick up for what you
know is right" is the simple code that the
tain people value above all else: Would Dave let
the indirectness and evasiveness in modern living
warp his fearless honesty and straight thinking?

The one little spark of life left in the empty

the trapper, Joseph Schmidt, the day after the
blizzard subsidized, had taken another direction
the wide circuit of his traps, as was often the
case, there would have been story. Schmidt did
not visit any locality more than once week. so
that the chances were greatly against his finding
the baby in time. Fate, however, was working
for little Dave and brought the trapper to the
pitifu mound before the deadly cold had com
pleted its work.
To his experienced eye something seemed queer.
Why had the group died with no apparent strug-
gle? There was a bundle of wraps and blankets
with which they could have protected themselves
for time in the vain hope that help would come.
The trapper investigated the bunde-and found
the baby Weakening hungry from his winters nap.
A unique experience for established bachelor
ITS miles from civilization!
Wondering at the strange gift that destiny
had handed him and cropping for some explanation
of this mystery of the North the trapper searched
for some clue that would at least establish the
identity of the little helpless creature before him.
There was letter on the body of one of the men,
4, fo4.
"Dear David" itsbegan and told briefly what day

coast" 1t was signed "Helen." That short letter,
which told little, is all that Dave has ever
known of his real father and his mother With
his fathers name for middle name, he took
the name of the trapper who legally adopted him
and who has been his father, mother, sole teacher
and guide for all his years.
Out there in the bleakness of the snow there
only thing to do, and the trapper did it.
He shoudered the lusty one-year-old and took him
home to his cabin. The practical difficulties of
bringing up child and carrying on his work in
the wilderness didn't seem to daunt him.
