LOST IN THE SWAMP
R EITHER Jo nor Bert will ever
forget their wanderln and
hardships when lost In the Ok
flnoke swamp. Tha two boys
bad tn allowed to accompany a
bunting prty ot men to one ot th
more' accessible Islands, but war
given orders not to venture far from
tbo permanent camp thereon. For a
few days they were contented to obey,
but the stories of big game and the
trophies brought In at night by th
grown-up hunters exclteM them. Th
bird shooting- they did In tbe neigh
borhood of the camp became tarn
and they longed for more ambitious
adventure.
So one day, carrying their small
bird guns, the two boys ventured Into
the Jungle at the lower end of tha
pine-grown, wire-grass-covered Island
and lost their way. They had not In
tended to go far aad thought It would
be easy to retrace their steps. But
the maze of tangled growth was con
fusing, and an exciting event caused
them to depart abruptly from the
more or less straight course they were
pursuing. As Joe expressed It, they
"ran rlffht up on a bear."
The animal was engaged In pulling
up young palmetto shoots and eating
th sweet and tender part near tbe
root. After each pull It would rear
up on Us hind legs and look cautious
ly over the brush In every direction.
So when th boys stepped Into view
about a Lundred feet away th bear
saw them on the Instant nd boiled,
crashing loudly through th, tangle of
I brush. The boys took one long look
and then Red In the opposlie direc

' pursuing them, but uncomfortably
j certain that their bird guns would be
scant protection.
Their panic over, they came to a
halt But now. having lost all sense
of direction, their efforts to find their
way back to the high open p:ne land
completely failed.
They were not far from the Island
and knew it, so at first they were
not greatly alarmed. But after some
(hours they realized with deep con
cern that, instead of returning to
ward the island, they had continually
wandered farther away Turning
right about then they hurried as they
thought, over the backward track.

sured that It was "a fur ways." and.
in answer to questions, briefly told
th story of their wanderings.
