such track. AS the boys pushed on, they found another and an- other.
 On they hunted until they came to the edge of a cliff which fell a hundred feet to the sea. Here the trail disappeared. The boys searched but found no tracks at all.
 Lonesome Boy pointed down to the rocks piled on the beach far
 below. Bucky nodded. If the crea- ture they hunted was anywhere he was somewhere among those rocks.
 Without saying a word, the boys got off their horses and began climbing down to the sea. They crawled backwards, clutching at the side of the cliff with their hands and feet. They slipped and slid and tore their hands and scraped their faces. When they were near the bot tom they dropped to the rocks and rose bruised and shaken. Lonesome Boy had spilled all his arrows but Bucky's one arrow was safe. When he helped the Jindian find his arrows among the rocks, Lonesome Boy did not speak but smiled as though to say Thank You" Suddenly they found them selves standing before huge ! hole. In front of the hole was the missing track. Bucky's heart pounded. His legs grew weak. Lonesome Boy
 calmly fitted an arrow into his bow. "I'm a cowboy" Bucky told himself. "I can't let him see I'm afraid"
 So he held his bow ready. The , two boys walked together into the great black hole. Next: Lonesome Boy Shoots)

BASIC ERROR" of FOUR PEOPLE THEMSELVES
 Twice in the last thirty years the United States has emerged victorious from tremendous wars and twice the nation has preciptately abandoned all semblance of well-equpped, welltrained, readyto-fight mili tary force.
 The military tell us, almost without exception, that unpreparedness cost the nation untold dollars and heavy casualties Both would have been lower if the nation had maintained balanced fighting force of reasonable size for it's defense.
 The war in Korea, as Gen. George C. Marshall points out required the nation to fight the first day and there is no to think that he is wrong when he that the nation not longer "count upon years or months in which to prepare after the is on.
 The Secretary of Defense expresses the fear that f ter the fighting in Korea ends will repeat our be- havior of the past After both world there ncessant demand that the boys be demobized and something of public reaction set in against the tnuance of anything like adequate fighting force
 Speaking buntly this high official, who enjoys the respect of the vast majority of his felowAmericans, declares that the basic has always been with the American people themselves" He expresses the hope that the people of this country will willingly support enduring system of defense, that Twill not collapse at every change of the wind and temperature" and will
 keep prepared for any emergency without sapping our economic strength which lis of maximum import ance to the democratic people of the entire world"

CHAPTER l2 TRACKING THE NOZZLE

some Boys face turned pale and he trembled at his fathers words.
 "Go!" ordered Chief Hurricane. Bring tail of Herman the Woz- zle."
 "Who is it? What is it?" vhis- pered Bucky, tugging at Santa's sleeve. "Why do you look so sad?"
 "Ah," said Santa. "No one who ever hunted Herman the Wozzle came back alive. He is half bird and half animal with the tail of a snake. He runs faster than a rabbit. He roars louder than the ocean. He is stronger than a thou sand strongest men,"
 "I am a good shot," said Bucky cheerfully. "At home, with my cork gun, I hit the target nearly every time"
 Santa shocks his head. "A cork gun would never hurt the Wozzle. You need a strong bow and an arrow tipped with silver. I can make you such a bow and arrow. But your heart must be unafraid or no weapon can help you."
 Bucky thought for a moment. II am afraid" he said finally. But maybe I will forget to be afraid when I see this creature. 1 will try anyway, for I am a cow boy said cowboys must be brave.
 Santa took Bucky to his cottage and sat before the fire with the boy at his feet. Santa whittled on a young sapling until he had fin iShed a bow.
 Then he cut an arrow and tip ped it with purest silver which he melted and shaped in the fire. When he had finished he woke Bucky who had fallen asleep against his knee.
 "I've been dreaming" said d Bucky sleepily. ,''I dreamed I was home with my mother and that 1 was tired of playing cowboy"
 Santa smiled. "You know, Bucky, I hope that dream will soon come true," he said. "Now here is your bow and here is your arrow"
 What" cried Bucky. "Only one arrow?"
 "Yes," said Santa sadly. You'll never get a chance to shoot but once."
 When they went out they found Lonesome Boy saying goodbye to his people. The Jindian carried a bow and a bag full of arrows slung from his shoulder. He looked at Bucky. and for the first time there was no meanness in his look.
 "Let's go," said Bucky. The two boys got on their horses and rode away.
 They had not left Santa Land very far behind when Lonesome boy stopped and pointed at tracks in the snow-the strangest tracks Bucky had ever dreamed of. There were two prints like the webbed feet of a duck-but a duck with feet larger than an ele- phant. Behind these tracks was a long furrow that seemed to have been made by a. snake twisting through the snow.
