Their voyage down the big river

afternoon. The sun had come out,
and its clear warmth was welcome to

asked his friend jokingly.

Once they swept perilously close to

beneath the heavy foliage of the
tree, that they might remain unseen.

Carl studied the left-hand bank,
at least quarter mile from their po-
Sition in midstream. The yellow ex-
panse of water, stirred and whipped
by invisible currents, semed ominous
with unseen dangers, but the youth
decided he could make it.

stream before they reached the slop-
ing muddy embankment. Both were
almost exhausted, and chilled to the
bone, when they climbed out of the
water.
After they had rested, Hotshot led
the way eastward through heavy
woods, which were knee-deep in water
in many spots. Even here they could
see traces of the vast desolation
brought on by the flood. Here and
there they saw half-Submerged
chicken coops, fragments of what had
once been a house, and even wood
en- churn that had somehow escaped
demolition.
For an hour they trudged YEARLY
through the morass, pausing infre-
quently to catch thei.' breath, but as
it was already late afternoon they
pressed on as swiftly as possible in
order to reach some sign of human
habitation before night should fall.
A. last the wood thinned, the
ground became heavy with lush, rich
ly-green grass, and the soggy trail
they had been following gave way to
one much drier and more pleasant.
Before them they beheld vista of
smoothly undulating, emerald farm
lands, with occasional houses giving
evidence of the presence of hui
mainly.
Carl would have started at once
toward the nearest of these dwellings,
but his companion restrained him.
They Face Starvation
Take yo' time" the elder man adj
vised. "Lookin' like we do we got to
find our own kind of folks. Anybody
else might mistake us for scarce
crows, or sumpin', an take a pot
shot at u.s.
I'm cold and I'm hungry, and
and I'm just naturally about ready
to take even that chance" Carl ex-
postulated. Surely nobody would
refuse to give us something to eat.
at least"
"Hol' yo' hosses," Hotshot insisted.
"T'won't be long fore well fin what
we want"
BY this time, after their journey
down the river and through the
woods, the few clothes remaining to
them were sadly torn and tattered.
Both of them had suffered numerous
scratches and bruises, but above all
they were hungry-keenly hungry.
The dim path they trod led into a
small copse of willow trees. AS they
trudged through the growth the
sound of rich voice lifted in song
halted them in their tracks.

Hotshot started forward abruptly.
"Ain't nobody in tn worl' sing like
that but usns!" he exclaimed.
Almost at once they emerged from
the woods, and the truth of the little
mans assertion was borne out. A
small moss-grown cabin sat in the
clearing, and from its stone chimney
blue smoke curled in lazy spiral.
Without parley the two men went
up to the place. HotShot raped at
the side of the open door, then called,

A Friend in Need
A young girl poked her head out,
and upon seeing the strangers, jerked

stream as he leaped into the river,
Carl chung with beating heart. He
was thankful for his escape, but was
puzzled by it. When the gang boss
had leveled the big revolver at him,
his blood had run cold and he
seemed rooted to the spot by sharp
terror. An instant before the ex-
plosion came he had toppled off into
the water, but how had the man
missed him? How had he failed to
see Carl swim wildly to the floating
tree, and if he had seen him, why
had he not shot at him again? He
was so close to Carl that he could
not have missed, the puzzled youth
told himself.
The river was cold, but Carl dared
not move for fear he would .,e cen.
In the grip of the strong current his
tree refuge swung about in abrupt
circles, while he chung to one of the
branches with despera . intensity.
Hours seemed to pass, and the water
became colder and colder. Just when
he had decided that he could hang

out of hiding and try to swim to the
shore, ne heard a we'll remembered
voice.

Carl was so startled that he al

''Hotshot!" he exclaimed in amaze
ment. Where are you? And how

I got here JUS like you did. jumped
in that ole river and cotched this

The knowledge that his friend had
also escaped and was close by, gave
the youth renewed strength. When
he spoke again his voice was gay.
''You son-of-a-gun!" he cried hap
PLY. why in the world didn't you
let me know that you were riding
this boat before now?"
Wasn't no inc for making no
talk" Hotshot explained. II figgered
sense we bof was here the talk could

Hadn't we better be hitting for

chilled to the bone, and I'm afraid

II minute they were seated
astraddle the big tree. Hotshot had
lost both shoes, and Carls shirt
was in tatters. They regarded each
other with rueful laughter.
HotshOt Explains
boy, you sho' looks like some
thing the tom cat done drug in!" the
little man chortled.
"Well, you don't lock- like a fashion

Then he sobered. SAY, where were

Despite efforts of rescuers on

snow-bound cabin and attempts to
drop food to them from the sky,
no word has been received at So

Although Jasper Miley, snowshoe
