TO HIGHER CLOSING LEVEL

Minneapolis, Jan. 1o.-R)-Wheat
futures rallied laboriously to q
slightly higher closing level here
Thursday with trade thin and un-
inspiring. A bit Of short covering and
the recovery Of few hedges against
wheat sold out Of storage made the
strength. After the opening there
was very little from outside sources.
May and July wheat closed \ high
err and September y higher. Most Of
the professionals were inclined to
hold back until after the government
idea Of farm reserves, due IL q report
after the close, had been well cir
culated.
Coarse grains were mixed at the
close. May oats finished u higher
and July unchanged. May and July
rye each closed u lower. May barley
finished Il down and July unchanged.
While May and July flax both closed
unchanged.
Receipts of cash wheat were the
best In a week and in very good de-
mand at firm to strong prices. Win
ter and duruln wheat was scarce and
nominally unchanged.
Corn demand was limited with Of

tongue. The bird he had tried to
photograph, the waterfowl he had
sought to save through his writings
and lecturing. the greatest of the
swans. would nourish him on his long
trek back to shelter.
He drew his knife. 1t hovered over
the long, graceful throat of the swan.
One thrust and the warm life of the
trumpeter would flow into his own.
From above came the insistent call
of trumpeter for his lifetime mate.
Ilderkirk sobbed. Fool! Was he to
be overcome by hysteria? 1t was food
food
Yet these two might be the last
pair of trumpeters on earth. He knew
too well the fate of migrating birds
caught in such a blizzard. And why
were they so late in migration? These
ice-coated wings! Had there been
more in the flock there would surely
be some evidence of it. He could not
know what had actually occurred. He
might only guess. But it seemed
reasonable to him that these two birds
would not travel alone unless they
had failed to raise brood. Even
were this true. they would have joined
other swans had there been others for
them to join.
Ornithologists said it was barely
possible that the trumpeter still
existed in limited numbers in remoter
regions, but who had seen them? Who
had made an authentic report? Only
an expert could mark the difference
in the field between these and the
smaller whistling swans. Ilderkirk had
searched for them for years - for
much of the time since 1896.
But it was food. He mustn't forget
that.
Again the peremptory call of the
circling swan. 1t beat into his brain.
Could he take the chance? Could
he kill one of these birds and probably

free. With a snarl it disappeared into
the forest.
Ilderkirk was never more lucid
than now; he realized the tragic plight
of the remaining trumpeter. Its flight
feathers we're coated with ice and the
wings were heavy. The bird crowded
the farther bank, trying to escape to
the shore but the thin ice that fringed
the small pool broke under her.
Stealthily Ilderkirk withdrew. He
crouched, and removed the leather
lace from one of his boots.
The swan quieted. She was looking
upward where Ko-hoh circled. un-
willing to leave his mate. His calls
rang out imperative. She could only
give a plaintive answer, holding him
in the air above.
Ilderkirk backed away and, circling,
approached the helpless bird on a
direct line, keeping carefully out of
sight, for if she gained the land his
ebbing strength would not permit her
capture. The calls from her mate
became more alarmed.
When he reached the edge of the
pool Ilderkirk mustered every ounce
of his energy and lunged forward. His
arms encircled her. He waded to the
bank and bound her feet with his boot
lace. His trembling hands smoothed
the feathers and he quieted the bird
with his low monotone.
Lovely" he whispered. Lovely"
What other ornithologist had ever
held living trumpeter swan in his
hands? This was Ilderkirk's great
moment, the climax of almost four
decades spent in observation of his
friends of the air.
He began to break away the ice.
Suddenly he stopped. The thought
was chastity - but this was food.
He must steel himself, for here was
the essence of life itself - meat -
pounds of it. He wet his lips with his

seal forever the doom of their kind?
1t was something beyond sentiment.
His life had been dedicated to one end.
Could he violate that end. even in his
extremity. and live with himself? But
could he take the chance of getting
other food? A deadly WEAKNESS crept
over him.
Would that swan flying above
never cease his calling?
A movement in the brush at
tracted him. A porcupine = it must
be porcupine. Of course it was. Life
itself. God; suppose he had killed
this lovely bird in his arms; suppose
he had given in to this fierce panic. He
was glad. Glad.
The brush was still. A sensitive nose
winnowed the air, and gaunt, gray
form surveyed the drama before it.
The timber wolf had returned.
"A porcupine," )" muttered Ilderkirk,
as he cleaned the ice from the birds
wings, being careful not to damage
the flight pinions. He united the lace.
Then he smiled and closed his eyes.
Again and again came the call of the
mated swan. He released the bird.
Seconds later he looked upward.
The wind had died completely and
the two birds were passing over the
trees to the west, heading for their
sanctuary. Good luck" he whispered
hoarsely, good luck"
Ilderkirk staggered toward the
brush. But first he must rest. He must
lie down for little while. Just little
while. He was drifting =. drifting :. :.
There was no pain. The cold that
crept up from his legs warmed his
body.
A song; a wild sweet song - the
swan song of myth and legend - the
death song of ghost birds for their
friend.
"A porcupine," he muttered. "A
porcupine a porcu -"
