CHAPTER VIII

One morning, ten days after the
boys had left for the Sinking Lakes,
Heather, who had been hard at work
gathering a supply of berries for
the winter, took her pack bag, in
which she carried them, and her
rifle and started for the barren
above the valley. It was a keen day
in late September. The floor of the
forest was yellow with the leaves of
birch and aspen.
Leaving the valley, for an hour
she walked across the treeless tun-
dra, gray with caribou moss, like
velvet to the feet, and splashed with
patches of low growing blueberries,
bake-apple, moss and cranberries.
But she did not stop until she came
to a fold in the barren, little val
ley or swale where, shielded from
the wind, dwarf spruce. juniper and
deer bush gallantly battled for ex-
istence. Here the berries grew in
profusion and of a somewhat larger
size than out on the open tundra.
Heather had almost filed her bag
and was seated, eating her lunch of

Lichens Serve Both Man and Beast in
Many Ways, Geologists, Botanists Say

The lowly lichen plays an impOr-
tant part in natures scheme of
things, reports the New York State
College of Forestry. Ordinarily
lichens, which are found on rocks,
trees and stumps in many different
forms and colors, are nothing to get
excited about We think of them as
some sort of parasitic growth of no
particular use and doing little harm,
but geologists and botanists tell us
that lichens serve both man and
beast in many ways.
From the college report, writes
Albert Stoll, Jr., in the Detroit
News, we learn that lichens make
their own food from water and air
and are not detrimental to the plant
life to which they become attached.
''They take carbon dioXide from
the air in the process of making food
and give off oxygen in the same
process" says the report. Ger
tain types cause the disintegration
of rock mechanically by invading
the smallest crevices, splitting off
fragments, chemically secreting an
acid which acts on the rock thus
producing new soil"
Lichens also supply tood for
many northern animals. 1t is the
principal food of the reindeer. Mich

bannock sandwiches, when her eyes
caught something black moving in
the low scrub a hundred yards
away.
1T must bet must be bear!"
she exclaimed, reaching for her
gun. Her heart pounded with ex-
element She had seen bears be-
fore but never had she shot one.
And here was the chance to add
much-needed meat and grease to
their store of winter provisions.
On hands and knees she started
to crawl toward the bear feeding on
berries a short rifle-shot away. She
did not dare risk a shot until she
had better view of him, so worked
her way cautiously through thick
growths of Labrador tea, laurel and
spagnum moss. At last, she lay
where she had a clear view of the
feeding animal. Sprawled in
clump of blueberries, with both
paws he drew the low bushes greed
lily to his mouth, stripping them of
their fruit.
With her heart beating in her
throat Heather attempted to draw
bead on the black shoulder of the
beast hardly fifty yards away. But
her sights wavered-would not hold
true. She must wait-get her nerves
under control. She felt herself grow
ing cold-cold with the fear that
she would miss.
Then with an effort she calmed
her jumping nerves. What would
Alan-her father, think of her if
they knew? Alan must never know
she had been afraid Her white
teeth clamped hard as she again
aimed at the feeding bear. The
swaying sights on the rife steadied.
Fo, an instant the bead of the muz-
zle sight held in the rear notch
and she squeezed the trigger.
With roar the bear reared on his
hind legs searching for his hidden
enemy then dropped, biting savage
ly at his side. She had missed the
vital spot! She must not miss again!
Then, before she could aim, the
bear saw her.
Believing his rage. he came Iung-
ing through the low scrub at the ter
rified girl. She leaped to her feet
and started to run. But the low
bushes caught a moccasin and she
fell headlong. On came the wound
ed beast, until but few yards sep
arated them. Heather, twisting
around, still holding her gun, aimed
as he came and fired point-blank
into his chest. Scrambling to one
side, she pumped another shell into
the chamber as the stricken beast
crumpled in the blueberry heath.
I've got him! I've got him!" she
cried, weak from excitement, as she
stood with cooked rifle. Knees shak-
ing under her she watched the hulk
ing body sprawled in the bushes.
The second shot had gone home.
The bear was shot through the
heart.

Still Wines

Still wines are the result of the
fermentation of the juice of sound,
ripe grapes. Fermentation is the
conversion of grape sugar into al
cohol and carDonic acid gas In
natural (stilD vines the fermenta-
ton is completed before bottling
Their alcoholic content varies from
nine to fourteen per cent. Sparkling
wines are produced in the same
way, according to an authority, ex-
cept that the last stage of fermen-
tation takes place in the sealed bottle

tanned and produces effervescence.

men, carrying guns. They were
walking along the rim of the swale,
talking excitedly. She wondered if
they had heard her shots-or they
could see her. Nearer and nearer,
they came until, hardly a stones
throw distant on the lip of the val
ley, above her, they stopped. Her
heart faltered. Suppose they should
see the dead bear?
For a space a thick-set white man
with beard argued heatedly with
his companion, an Indian.

where she lay, hugging the moss be-
meath the thick juniper. But who
is the other? What's a white man
doing here on the Talking? Can it
be McQueen's found his way back
to the forks?"
But the men noticed nothing so en-
crossed were they in their talk.
Shortly they moved on, while the
agitated girl lay for a long time
after they had disappeared from
sight. Then she made her way back
home over the barren.

DANIELS
BACKS WAGE BILL
Ambassador Appeals to
Southern Congressman
to Support Measure.
By the Associated Press.


Senator Smathers, Democrat, Of New
Jersey made public today an appeal
by Josephus Daniels, Ambassador to
Mexico, to Southern Congressman to
support Federal wage and hour legis-
lation.
Mr.. Daniels, publisher of the News
and Observer at Raleigh, N. c.. wrote
Senator Smathers congratulating the
New Jersey Senator. a native OF the
South, for urging Southern Congress
men to support the wage and hour
bill.
The Ambassador wrote:
If there is any part Of our coun-
try that stands in need Of adequate
compensation both as a matter of
right to the recipient and for the
public good, it is that portion Of the
South from which most of the votes
are coming to kill the labor bill.
"One reason we are poor in the
South is that 50 much of our most
valuable property and industries is
In the hands of absentee owners, and
absentee ownership everywhere has
ben disastrous-as, for example. the
terrible situation in Ireland until it
was abolished.
Another reason is that the wage
rate has been so small that there has
been very low purchasing power. 1t
is very short-sighted in the South to
wish to continue low wages"
= Mr.. Daniels wrote of a Philadelphia
manufacturer who was going to move
his factory to the deep South for three
reasons: U Because, in the South,
hours were long and wages were low;
(2> because the town to which he
was going would exempt him from
taxation for a period Of years, and (3)
because he was going to employ girls
In his factory and would not have to
pay them anything for the FIRST four
months in which they were learning" !"
The Ambassador added he did not
know Of anything that would be
worse for the South than for this man
to move there"
