CHAPTER XIV

It was shutdown, now, with a cool
mantle of evening descending on the
forest.
Tough luck, chum!" Kerry muttered
to Tip as he finally gave up hope and
turned away from his bee box.
They've called it a day. But We
can't be far off, now, and unless it
rains tomorrow :"
He looked anxiously upward. Clouds
were riding up from the west. The
air felt soft. If rain held tomorrow
he would be put to the ordeal of keep
ing out of sight and accomplishing
nothing. o.. Not a nice prospect.
"May have a wet night" he told the
dog. 1--WE can't be far from the cabin

And an hour after the first visitor
had called for his portion of honey

He did not move much after he had
finally located the tree. For long he
stood in one place, looking about,
searching out what sign he could find.
Man sign was there in plenty. Yon-
der, white pine had recently been
blazed and pitch globules glistened in
the sunlight. Brakes had been tram
pied down; here a Seeding maple lay
crushed into the duff, its leaves not yet
wilted.
AT the base of the tree lay sapro-
phyte which. until recently, had been
growing ON the Scared portion of the
trunk. He could see where the bracket
like growth had been attached, two
feet above the ground. He picked up
