You see he had discovered that there were four full- grown Muskrats living in that house and four to one was altogether to much. What he didn't know was that the four were not living in the game room. That big house was many two houses in one.

While the four Muskrata were to- gether on the roof of their house Billy Mink swam over near them to pass the time of day. He was very friendly. One not knowing him never would have guessed that there was anything to fear from him. By and by he went off up Lgughing Brook.

"Who is that fellow?" asked one of the young Muskrats. 'iWe've never seen him before." This was true, for the two young Muskrats were just starting out in the Great World for themselves.

When he is around keep lio- gether. He isn't as likely to try to hurt one of you when you are together as he would be if he should find one of you alone."

"Can he swim as fast as we nag?" asked one of the young Musk- ra .

"Faster. He can swim much fes- tor. Don't ever think that you can ever out-swim Billy Mink." replied

"Can he run fast on land?" ask-

.ul the other.

"He can run circles around you." noueaked Jerry.

"Yes." replied Jerry. "There is just one thing. We can dive better than he can. Never forget that. Don't try to out-swim him. because you can't. But. if he surprises you dive. and dive as hard as you can. Stir up the mud. In that way you can get away from him. But the wise thing to do when you know he is aroond is to keep out of sight. and keep together."

Just then. Billy Mink appeared again. The four Muskrats gathered together on the roof of their house. Billy looked up at them. and grin- ned. "There's nothing for you to be afraid of." said he. "I'm fishing not hunting today."

It was in 1883 that Peter Fraser and Nathan Squires set out on a hunting expedition from Bangor in Int 65- The distance, roughly, was forty-five or fifty miles. not a great Journey for men who were

t d to travelling almost every day on foot.

Their route of travel took them across country via Riverton. Lorne Valley, York. North River and Kingston. reaching the great 65 forest shortly after passing through the last mentioned village.

Both men had made the trip before. but not in the month of January. They took 'with them lhcir guns, two dogs and enough food to last a few days. Extra supplies. so they had reckoned. only would retard their progress: and they wanted this to be a re- cord-breaking lrlp. .

Tlle men left Bangor at 7:15 in the morning of January 21. The weather was quite cold and a light snow covered the ground. The going was good and they reached the fringe of the forest about nine o'clock that evening.

On January 22, a great storm lbegan and the keen frost penetrat- ed through the crude camp they hurriedly had made the night of their arrival. As the day advanced. the storm increased in its fury. driving before it a smothering mass of whirling snow-flnkcs which soon covered the ground to a great depth.

The men ventured forth. each in turn, to take a shot at a rabbit or some other creature that would afford an extra meal for them-

selves and the dogs. But then- efforts were without success. During the next six days the storm continued. and each day the hunters and their dogs lay about the camp. shivering and starving. .

On the morning of January 21!. they killed one of the dogs. roast- ing the meat on the ends of their muskets. The flesh, though not very rellshable under normal con- ditions, proved an excellent: diet now that starvation was staring them in the face.

The uncaten portion of the car- cass was taken outside and but- ied in the snow. but sometime dur- ing the following night it was stolen by foxes or bears. .

The morning of the 29th was clear and calm so Squires and Fraser decided they would push on and try to find a habitation where food and shelter might be procured.

Peter Fraser's diary. found in his pocket, tells the tragic story of how he and his companion spent their last hours in this world:

"January 29 returned to camp

This is ihc end: all my be- longings and properly i leave to my dear mother."

Not. until spring were the bodies of the lost hunters discovered. Side by side they lay, Squirw and Fraser, snow for their winding sheet, a crude brush camp for their grave.

CONTRACT BRIDGE;

By Josephine Culbertson

PARTNERS who overbld and other partners who habitually hold back are natural hazards of the game. and can be coped with. but the in-and-out bidder presents a problem that no one can solve. He makes what. purports to be a strong bid (or series of bids), then, at a critical stage, suddenly loses his voice. This is the one type (above all others) that drives experts to despair (and fury).

West. not at. all pleased to have collected 300 points instead of BOQ. asked East why he hadn't doa- bled, or, failing that, why he hadn't bid five clubs. East an- swered that he had "bid enough on his hand."

This was scarcely a consistent u answer! After opening the aue- i tion. East had voluntarily bld two notrump in the face of the oppo. nents' spade bidding. He thereby incurred definite responsibility, and so he had no right to drop out of the picture suddenly when West passed the four-spade all around obviously for mum ded- elon. Every facet of the situation marked this pass by West. as a lorcing pass, and East was obliged to take some action. '
