I thought he was going to rescue
Henry, but he rode right along and
disappeared. Right after him came

what had happened. Boy, was
happy! Dad had come for me.
was So glad that I cried, and held
onto the tree and pulled myself
up onto my feet and shouted, and
Dad answered me. Don, Donn!" he
shouted.
Here I am, Dad" I yelled back.
I got my legs going and started
toward the brook. I went right by
Henry and I must have frightened
the four men, because they disap-
peared like smoke.

remember fishing in my dungarees
and sneakers from under the old
tree and taking them with me when
I ran toward Dad. I waded into
the water, and, boy, was it cold! It
made me shiver all over. stumbled
on slippery rock and went down
on my hands, and the water
splashed into my face. 1t felt good
because my face was hot with so
many blackfly bites I got onto my
feet and scrambled up the bank.
Nobody was there. Henry was gone.
Only the old stump stayed where it
was. The automobile was gone and
although yelled till I was hoarse
nobody answered me. Dad was
gone, too. just sat down on the
ground and cried.
Remembered Scout Warning.
I don't know how long I sat there
and cried, making my hands go up
and down on my knees, but pretty
soon I felt weak all over and so
stretched out on the bank and put
my head on my arms. I got to
thinking about Henry and the four
men and thought about them for
a long time. That's the way peo-

That's when they start to run and

not going to go crazy-not if

One thing kept going through my
mind all the time lay there on the
bank. I learned it in scouting and
it did me a lot of good-maybe
saved my life. Keep your head
and you'll come out all right-just
keep your head" When l had
made up my mind on that point I
felt better. There wasn't any
Henry to help me and there wasn't
and automobile, and Dad hadn't
called me. I was lost and that was
all there was to it. It was better
for me to get going and get myself
out of the mess had blundered
into
It's queer what funny things go
through fellows head in a fix like
that. There were times when it
seemed to me I wasn't talking to
myself at all Instead, somebody
inside of me was doing all the
talking who wanted me
to get out of those woods and 60
home to Mommy and Dad. Some
body who would keep me from
going crazy if I just listened.
Prayers Restored Courage.
After that little rest on the bank
I felt better. It wasn't quite rain
ing, but it was dark and misty and
I felt cold and miserable. I re-
membered that I hadn't said my
morning prayers, 50 got onto my
knees and prayed. I never prayed
like that before. Other mornings I
