ASSIGNMENT
"a Short Story
BY RICHARD HILL WILKINSON

dog left, himself half starved, he
came upon lone prospector. The
prospector took him in, fed him
and gave him news. Crowfoot Hal
lam had passed that way. He had
looted the prospector's cabin but
had failed to find the ore which
was hidden in a crevice of the
chimney. The prospector guessed
he was lucky because he was off
hunting when Crowfoot made his
call.
WITH THE SCANT SUPPLY of
!" provisions that the prospector
could let him have, Jim set off the
next morning with only a pack on
his back, his rifle and service re-
volver. Fifty miles north of the
cabin he picked up some tracks
that he guessed were Crowfoots S.
But he lost them at noon and
wasted the whole afternoon trying
to find them again. Two days later,
his supplies gone, his cheeks frost
bitten, he came to an Eskimo viii
lage. The EsiSimos were friendly,
but they couldn't give him any
news of Crowfoot Jim's spirits
sank. That meant he'd have to re-
turn to the prospectors cabin and
start over again.
He kept going steadily for
week. Then he came within sight
of another Eskimo village. Instead
OF entering it boldly, he waited
until darkness came, then walked
in stealthily. From a skin tepee
came the sound of voices. He
cautiously opened the flap, and
there sat Crowfoot Hallam holding
confab with the. villages head
man. There wasn't a chance. Crow.
foot Hallam submitted without
struggle.
But the battle was only half won.
There was $50 miles of wilderness
to cover before he had his prisoner
safely back at the post Constable
Jim knew the dangers. At night
he bound his prisoner to a tree.
During the day he kept Crowfoot
always ahead of him, always hand
cuffed.
1t took more than month to
reach the post, nine weeks from
the time Jim had started out, They
staggered III more dead than alive
When at last Jim knew that they
had reached their goal, he tainted
and lay in semi-conscious stupor
for almost week At the end of
that time he got up, dressed and
wrote his report for the sergeant
in charge. It consisted of five lab
penned lines, stating mere
ly that he had succeeded in cap
turing and bringing in his prisoner.
The sergeant read the report and
'O.K. Report for duty to-
morrow. I've another assignment
for you
Jim saluted. He was glad that
another assignment was coming so
soon. 1t had been decidedly boring
lying in his bunk for a full week.

That day he made Is miles,

LIT. DenSln man, O n !, French and English, and he also speaks all five languages. He is a member of seven or eight na- tional scientific societies.
 While he was collecting his titles" Dr. Bensin also was ac- quiring University degrees. He holds bachelor of science and master of science degrees from the University of Minnesota, and a Doctors degree from the Czech ish Plytechnic Agricultural School in Prague. He also holds a theo- logical degree in the Russian Or thodox church.
 Basil M. (short for Mitrophano- vich) Bensin was born in Russia, but his work has taken him to many parts of the world. His fa- ther was a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church, and Basil at tended the Moscow Theological Seminary, graduating with a BID. degree. Shortly after graduation he came to the United States as instructor and secretary of the faculty at the Minneapolis Rus sian Theological Seminary.
 Young Basil's interest lay in ag- riculture, however, and, concur rently with his theological work, he studied at the Agricultural College of the University of Min nesota. When he returned to Rus sia he became a specialist in cer- cal grains with the Tsar's Imper- ial Department of Agriculture.
 Bensin's first assignment was to organize a special expedition into the isolated heart of Central Asia for the collection of drought-re- sistant cereals and other native plants. His most important dis covery on the trip was drought resistant rye, found in arid east ern Turkistan. This rye, which now bears his name, was rare be- cause it was self-pollinating.
 Bensin gathered two tons of seed, transported it by camel car avan to the nearest railroad and sent it. to Petrograd. However, during the Russian Revolution of 1919 starving peasants ate all the seed, and Bensin does not know whether or not the rye has been rediscovered.

There is hardly a part of cen tral and eastern Russia that Ben sin has not roamed and studied in the interests of better agriculture He was also sent to Berlin tC study laboratory methods for grain and flour analysis.
 During World War I, Bensin served as an officer in the Tsar's Imperial Army. After the war, his importance in Russian agri- culture grew rapidly and he was sent to Czechoslovakia to nego- tiate for the importation of Rus sian agricultural commodities to that country. Because he was not in sympathy with the current Communist regime in Russia, Bensin remained in Czechoslo- vakia. In 1880 he came to the United States, and, in 1885, Gin the proudest moment of my life, " he became an American citizen.
 Dr. Bensin taught Russian lan- guage and literature at St. Vladi- mfrs Seminary in New York City, did lecture work at agricultural colleges throughout the country, and made a survey of vast areas in Texas and Mexico for the pur- pose of greater land utilization.
 During World War II. Dr. Ben sin, because of his intimate knowledge of things Russian, was with the Office of Strategic Serv- ices and with the Foreign Eco- homie Administration.
 After the war he returned to his first love-plant breeding and the broad field of geology, the re- lationship between climate and agriculture. In 1945 Bensin was called to the Experiment Station at the University of Alaska, and has been engaged in numerous agriculture experiments since that time. Coming to Alaska with Bensin were IT packets of seeds from Yakutsk, brought to the United States by Vice President Henry Wallace. Bensin planted every seed by hand, and discov- cred those species most beneficial to Alaska.
 Agronomists across the country have followed Dr. Bensin's exper- iments with great interest. He
