THE THIRD DAY.

I dreamed some wild dreams that
night, but I can't think Of one OF
them. I wish I could. Some OF
them were funny and some scared
me. I can remember that much.
When morning came, I tried to
crawl out of the tree. Now I know
how an old, old man feels, going
around with a cane. I couldn't
move. had rheumatism, and my
knees creaked like old hinges. My
neck was stin and sore, and I had
a pain down the middle of my shoul-
ders. I wondered If pneumonia
began that way, but I took a long
breath and didn't feel any pain, SO
I knew my lungs were all right.
Outside the sun was shining
lay still and watched it for long
time. A little brown bird came
right up to the tree and started to
hunt for bugs among the roots. I
could see the sunlight on its feath-
ers and I remember saying to my
self: This can't be such bad
place, after all. That little bird
seems to like it," When the bird
had flown away I worked my way
out of the tree. Boy, that was
some job!
The sight of that bird eating
grubs made me hungry, and so,
after going over and looking at my
dungarees I left the stream and
went back up on a little hill where
some bushes grew I didn't put on
the dungarees, for when I felt of
them they chilled me, they were so
cold and wet and stiff. I Just
showed them back under the old
tree trunk.
Found Many Berries.
On the hill I found some berries.
They were pretty dry, but ate all
I could find, then I remembered
that hadn't said my morning
prayers. didn't want to start the
day that way, so I knelt down and
prayed for quite a while. You see,
at that time I didn't really think I
was in a bad fix. I knew 1 was lost,
but I expected to run across some
one fishing or camping around every
bend in the stream. That's the way
it is. you keep saying to yourself:
well, I'll find somebody around
the next bend" You keep saying
that to yourself all day long. It
never came into my head that a
fellow could get so badly lost in
the United States of America, and
that days could pass without seeing
a soul.
After I had said my prayers I
went down to the stream, found my
dungarees and threw them over my
arm. I waded into the water, hug
ging the bank as much as I could.
I did that because the ground there
was not quite so hard on my feet.
Every little while I would come
across a sandy place where I could
straighten up and walk fast.

I was lucky. On q little bank about
a hundred feet away from the water
I found q beautiful patch Of soft
green moss under a pine tree. I
was tired, but took the time to

and spread it out into q bed. I said
my prayers and lay down. I couldn't

bird with long legs fishing near the
edge Of the water. He would run
a little and then stop and cock his
head on one side and look and then
run a little more. Then he would
shoot his long bill into the water and
spear q tiny fish. Boy, I wished I
could feed myself as easily as that!
Didn't Want to Kill Deer.
Suddenly I heard footsteps right
behind me. I didn't move. Some

Rare Organ Recital
Rewards Audience

The organ recital by E. Power
Biggs, English organist,
given last night under the auspices
of the local chapter of the Ameri-
can Guild of Organists, created suf-
f1cient interest among some 200
music lovers for them to brave the
cold and the snow to fill one Of
the main sections of the Washing
ton Cathedral.
Mr.. Biggs. who was heard here
several years ago and who presented
yesterday program OF compost
tions ranging from the 18th CEN
tury up to the present day. i'm
pressed one as an artist thoroughly
in sympathy with the modern
school of composition. He is among
the few who possess that imagina-
tive talent which makes modern
music alive. He can unerringly
establish a mood, as in Franck' S
"Pastorale," which breathed peace
and serenity under his fingers, or
paint a tone picture, as in SoWerby's s
Fantasy for Three Flutes"
However, it was in Dupre's ''Vari-
ations on an Old Christmas
Melody" that Mr. Biggs reached
the peak of his virtuosity. This
stunning work took on an unex-
pected meaning usually diSas-
sociated with variation form. In
this Marcel Dupre chose to lend a
special significance and character
to each bit of music brought out
in a mastery fashion by Mr.. Biggs.
A suggestion of the Slavic in the
first variation developed uneX-
pectedly into a diabolic fantasie in
the second, while the third and
fourth. alternatively weird ane
graceful, served as stepping stone
to tone pictures suggesting the in
ferno. The fugue which followed
drew upon all the resources of
power and sound, working up to a
stupendous finale Mr. Biggs' pedal
technique enabled one to hear the
big pipes of the organ, and to get
new impression of the majesty
of the Cathedral's instrument.
In the performance of the classics
such as the Haendels Concerto
No. 2 in B Flat" Bach's three
chorales and prelude and Fugue
in G Major" one missed a certain
clarity. While the effect of sound
is desirable in modern music, old
masters seem to demand articula-
ton. Besides the above mentioned
numbers, the program included

Mulet's 'Toccata in F Sharp Minor

on and the one just beyond. That
water gurgled and gurgled and
churned and seemed to be trying
to climb right up to me. was
pretty stiff, but I knew I had to
jump: so I tossed my dungarees
across ahead Of me. In one Of the
pockets I had big piece of rock.
(This rock was heavy, very heavy,
and yet Dom had carried 1t under
almost impossible conditions for q
day and q half. He had picked it
up for his mother as souvenir from
the top Of Mount Katahdin and It
never occurred to him-even though
it might make the going easier-to
throw it away
was carrying it back to Mommy
from the top Of Katahdin. Maybe
she'd use it as a paperweight or a
doorstep. That rock was heavy, and
I knew Mommy would like it, so I
carried it along.
Well, I didn't have strength
enough to toss my pants clear across
onto the rock. The legs hit the top
all right, but the pocket with the
stone in 1t slapped onto the side
with a dull thud. And there my
dungarees hung for a second, slowly
slipping, inch by inch, into the
white water racing below. All I
could do was watch them slip. Why
didn't I jump across and save
them? I don't know, except that
I must have had a feeling that the
least touch or jar would shoot them
into the stream. Maybe I was just
paralyzed looking at them. Boy,
what moment! What would do
if they slipped into the water? How
would I keep of the insects? How
would I get into camp without being
seen? Well, I figured that could
crawl into camp after dark, when
every one was in bed-maybe.
Feared Ridicule.
While I was thinking such things
down slid the dungarees like fat,
blue snake into the water. One leg
tapped up against the rock and they
were gone. I couldn't believe it. My
pants were gone. There I was like
a kewpie or something. 1t might be
all right to run around in the woods
like that, but what would I say
when I came around bend and
found camp? I couldn't walk in
like that and say, I'm Dom Fend-
ler. Please telephone my Dad I'm
here" Everybody would die
laughing.
Well, maybe after that, any one
would expect me to hunt for my
pants. I didn't even look for them.
I just jumped across to the other
rock and went on. Maybe could

AS I went along I came to a big
rock-a piece of granite, I guess,
that had rolled down from the
mountain. On the shore side of it
was a patch of bushes SO thick that
I could not force my way through.
On the stream side the water was
so fast and deep that I knew 1 could
not wade it. I had to crawl to the
top of that boulder and then Jump

right, but hurt my wrist doing it.
