Humans Have Same Homing Instincts
As the Pigeon, an Authority Assert.

Man, who marvels at the manner
in which homing pigeons wing their
uneyring way hundreds Of miles to
their own lofts, has the same hon.
ing instinct as the pigeon and
doesn't know it. It lies latent in
many Of US, and only needs prac-
tice to develop, declares Noel Mac
beth, of Chelmsford, Essex, says
Pearson's London Weekly.
The instinct arises from "terres-
trial magnetism" linked up with
the water OWNERS power Of detect
ing water beneath the ground. Ac-
cording to Macbeth this power is
far more common than is generally
supposed. Approximately four men
out Of ten and six women out Of
ten have it.
Macbeth's theory Is that every
object not radioactive has q wave
field, and by holding something in
ones hand with the corresponding
wave-held one can detect that OBJ

Words roaring through q heavy
sleep. Smells Of bacon and coffee
mingled with smoke. Breck opened
his eyes. 1t was still dark.
Rising upon one elbow, he saw
Dad Cook holding pot over the
fire. The old man jerked his head
sharply. up and at i'll"
Breck obeyed. This was business.
As he started down to the creek he
heard rush Of animals in the cor
raj. the sudden squeal of horses,
then Sierra Sims gentle cursing. A
wash in water that was only a few
miles from snow aroused him thor
oughly and brought a wolfish appe-
tite. Cook and Sierra were already
eating when he returned to camp.
He squatted down beside them.

slices of bread, and coffee Of the

Noon passed; and then one O'Clock
before Cook halted the train for half
an hours rest. Breck dismounted,
stiff in the legs and glad to walk.
Sierra Slim boiled q gallon pot Of
water and threw in q fistful Of tea.
That, with whatever food each man
had cared to put in his saddle bags,
was lunch.
It was while they squatted near
the fire, warming their hands and
eating, that Breck heard a clatter
Of hoofs somewhere below. He
looked down into a narrow canyon
that cut the mountains to the south
Of Farewell Gap. A second trail led
up there and presently two horse
men appeared on it. He waited un-
til they crossed a treeless area be-
fore shifting his scrutiny from them
and back to Cook and Slim. They
too were watching.
Another rider came some distance
behind the first two, as il a rear
guard for them; all three passed up
the canyon, remembered by pack
animals. With them was a gray,
wolf-like dog. They were half a
mile distant, yet their tall figures
and their alert seat gave identity.
Coming onto a shelf they put their
horses in a jog trot and vanished at
point where the two trails joined.
THAT" said Sierra Slim, "ain't
noways hard to read!"
''They might be riding in to es-
tablish their cow-camp," Cook Of

fered, though without a tone Of be-
lief.
"Ah sure" Sierra scoffed. "And
they might be in to see how the
trout is bitin'i There's just three
trails into these parts. We've got
the North. Them Tillsons have come
up the Quakin' Asp, SEEM no one
else is ahead of 'em. And what
will you bet that their rot-gut ma
chinery hasn't used the South Sum-
NIT, probably last night?"
Cook nodded, but said nothing.
Breck stared at the spot where the
three brothers had vanished.
In minute Sierra stood up,
stretched his lank frame and let it
settle again. "Ah shucks!" he said
dismally. "I'm agoin' to quit this
forest service. Things is startin' to
pop too early!"
Through the afternoon they fought
snow drifts over the roof, crossed
wind-swept ridges, plunged into
swollen streams of ice water Mules
Jagged. Men hunched in their sad
dies. But when, an hour before SUM-
down, a green, fenced meadow
came into sight, mules picked up
their pace; men Strengthened.

sort that carries authority for the
rest Of the day. Dawn was in the
canyon as they finished.
"Now boys" said Cook, 'let's get
along. No telling how much snow
we'll have to buck on top and I
want to make the station before
dark"
He pointed to a line of animals
that Sierra had brought to the tie
rack. "Breck, those horses on the
end are yours. The gray is Custer;
the blacks Kit. Better saddle Kit.
Well cinch load of nails on Gus
and let him take fling at that if
he feels ornery. Yonder's mule
God knows he's mistake, but you
fall heir to him. His name is Goof."
For proof he gave the switch tail
yank that ought to have pulled the
thing from its socket.
Brock went on to his horses, sad
ding first the black, truly beauti-
full animal, tall and spare-bodied,
legs not too slender for mountain
work, and a sensitive, intelligent
face. The gray was old and showed
a disposition that had been ruined
in his first handling. Upon him he
dashed the two pouches full of nails
and let him have his morning buck.
He loaded Goof more carefully.
First the kayaks, hooked on the pack
saddle forks and hanging down, one
on either side, then his bedding, dou-
bled and laid crosswise, and over
all waterproof tarpaulin.
Morning in the High Sierrasl Dew
along the stream bottom and the
sharp tang of sage. Crealking of
leather and jingle of spurs. The
muffied pad Of mules, broken by
the ring Of their shoes on rock. The
sigh Of wind in pines further up.
And then the red sun bursting like
a prairie fire over distant desert
hills.
The trail climbed rapidly. Soon
the desert had fallen into deep sink

"Now see it this way; III have to

CHAPTER vi

Again that call bursting through
the dawn: Roll out, Rangeri"
Breck threw back the hood Of his
tarp and looked up. Overhead, pine
branches waved against . sky that
still held few stars. At his right
Dad Cook was crawling from his
own cocoon-like bed, while to the
left Sierra Slim had dressed n far
as trousers, and now sat morose and
silent, staring at the ground.
Breakfast was a wordless meal.
But as Sierra finished his third cup
Of coffee, he showed back his bench
and at once resumed his good ma
ture.
"well Chief" he asked, "whers
do we head first?"
Cook rose and gathered the dishes
into a pan with one sweep Of his
arm. "You and Breck," he said,
Twill take the Little Whitney and
Kern River line going out. Then
come back by Sulphur Canyon. I'm

60 south to Temple Meadow"
He turned gravely to Brock. IF
you live through a week of Sims
dutch-oven bread you've got q tin
gizzard!"
Gruelling work filed the days that
followed, yet for Brock they were
strangely satisfying. Work oriented
his life. It was like the magnetic
pole that holds q compass needle
steady.
Work went on. From headquar-
tiers station he and Sierra followed
single strand of wire hung from
tree trunks, part Of two hundred
miles that radiated like q spiders
web over the mountain range. It
knew no trail, but climbed walls
and plunged across canyons in its
direct course from point to point.
As days passed with long hours of
work and hardship mutually shared,
Brock felt bond growing between
himself and Sierra. Over the nights
campfire, with the mountain silence
about them and only their own
thoughts to break it, their compan-
ionship strengthened into conf
dences, and their separate natures
began to unfold. In these hours
men are apt to bare their best and
their worst, and show traits that
would have remained hidden during
years Of acquaintance in the cities
below.
Talk drifted to Lone Tree, and
men, and girls. ''Slim," Breck
asked. why haven't you ever mar.

Sierra screwed his mouth side
wise. "Ah shucks! What'd do with
woman? How could pack her
around these sand hills? Besides.
I never seen any in my life that
I'd trade mule for, except one.
And she wouldn't want my kind.
Fact, is I wouldn't try to make her

The name jolted Brock from quiet
musing. "Louise?"
yeah. Louy. There's a grill"
Sierra rolled another smoke.
"Most of the cowhands hereabouts
is spreadin' their ropes for her." he
went on. "The dam fools! Trying
to tie her in some shanty cookin'
their greasy grub!"
II saw her in Lone Tree" Brock
admitted. Doesn't she belong in

Sierra nodded. you'd say so,

distance than can gun-dogs.
The same principle applies to pig
cons. They become impregnated
with the magnetic smell' Of their
loft and, as they circle in the air,
they feel the magnetic pull in one
direction and fly that way.
This sense of direction, due to
magnetic pull, was widely held by
the ancients, Macbeth says. We
