awakened his -keen envy, too, for
Pierce was beginning to glory In
his own strength. A few days
later they had rested near each

That Is Phillips had rested; the
Canadian, it seemed, had a haljlt
of pausing when and where the
fancy struck him. His reason for
stopping had been tho antics of a
peculiarly fearless and Imperti

of bread he hud tolled the bird
almost within his reach nnd was
accepting Its scolding with intense
aTnusi mint. Having both teased
and made friends with the crea

this was their first opportunity of

tured to address the man.
"I though I had a load this

smile which exposed a row of teeth
snow-white against his tan. "Ho' I
