The Disturbing i
Element
By John Barton Oxford
UiptfritfM. HK.it. n-t(tAMd
The naturalist waa vaguely disturbed.
He paddled back to camp slowly with
listless stroke, as If he were prone to
turn back. Now and then he ceased
paddling and gated thoughtfully
through the darkening underbrush of
the woods.
Ited twilight waa falling, and against
the flaming western sky the tree tope
made sharp, black silhouettes. Beneath
the pluea the blubtack shadows were
deepening. Countless voices drifted
out to htm drowsily the atlll air, but
the naturalist gave m heed to the sub
limity of the approaching forest night
nor did be hew toe gentle drone Into
which the myriad voltes blended them
selves. The only vision hit eyes beheld was
that of a smlltrvg, graceful girl waving
a white hand to him from the eloping
bank by the camp, add the only sound
in hla ears waa hr Henry laughter as
she stood by her father's side and
shouted a goodby.
It waa because of this that the natu
ralist waa vaguely disturbed. Hereto
fore the wood and their occupants had
chained hla'emj thought Now be
was aware that rvary primary thought
centered about the girl and that every
thing else was hut a sorry second to
her.
The naturalist had been In the woods

built a camp on the upper waters of
the Little Otter, wltbln easy reach of
several promising beaver dama, and
here he and his two guides bad passed
the winter. A very profitable winter
the naturalist had considered It, for by
close observation he hsd proved be
yond the shadow of a doubt that the
beaver was much maligned to the pop
ular science of fh day. He was bully
preparing a book to be brought out In
the early summer giving the beaver
hla doe and undeceiving that portion
of the reading publV which thirsts for
natural history In a popular vein.
In the late rprtng, when the natural
ist waa writing the last few chapters
of his book, Colonel Strong bad come
op to the Little Ofter for trout and
salmon. The colonel's camp wss a

charming girl, wtrh a frank enthusiasm
for the wilderness In general and the
Little Otter In particular.
Bloce Miss Strong's advent Into tht
wilderness the beavers bad suffered
gross neglect Those last few chap
ters of "The Beaver as He Really Is"
progressed but slowly. The naturalist
ought bis desk only late at night or
at odd hours In the early morning. The
rest of the time he was at the colonel's
camp.
He took Hiss Strong to the beaver
dama to explain to her the Intricacies
of their construction; he taught her
the peat casts for trout and salmon;
be paddled her to the salmon boles up
and down the stream. And all this
tlme a realisation grew upon the nat
uralist that the woods and their occu
pants were not sufficient to his hap
piness. Three weeks went by all too quickly.
The colonel had announced his Inten
tion to start for home two days later.
As the naturalist paddled homeward In
the red twilight he became suddenly
aware that two (Says later the woods
would be quite different This great
calm, comforting forest would become
a hateful, sterile desert without Miss
Strong. The naturalist dug bis paddle
viciously into the water. "Great

He hurried te remaining distance
berk to camp tod endeavored to con
centrate bis mind on the long neglect
ed conclusion of bis book. But con
centration Is difficult when the forest
Is enshrouded In a soft spring night
After an hour's fruitless labor the
naturalist stalked down to the bank
of the stream and lighted his pipe. He

"tlood heavens," lie said, with odd
anxiety in his voice, "I'm lu love wltb
the girl!"
Two minutes Inter the canoe slid
noiselessly Into the water, and tut
naturalist paddled down atreasu with
unseemly haste.
Aa he came around the bend above
the colonel' camp be saw the girl sit
ting quite alone ticfor a smoldering
Dre near the bank. He paddled to tht
bank and pulled up hla canoe.
The girl gave him a gay welcome,
"Hut you said when you left at sun

beavers," she reminded him. "Areu'
you ueglectlug them now)"
"Yes, I am. aald he. 'Tin coin

The girl raised her brows.
"It's you," said the naturalist abort

"Yea. you," said he. "The forest

"I'm sorry," she aald euletly.
"And I'm not," said be, with vehe

She turned and regarded him archly

There was silence for a moment.
Then the naturalist came nearer the
fire and stood looking down at the
girl.
"I wish I were a poet Instead of
scientist" aald he.

Once while puttering around over the

was a long, coutlnuous wooden ladder
reaching to the bottom, with its every
twelfth rung of iron to atrengthen the
structure. Down thla be sped.
"When I found myself slldln' down

the senutor, who used to enjoy telling
the story, "I thought It was time to

weut down I broke every single one of
them wooden sticks. This chucked th
speed of my fall, and I landed 'bout

but not hurt."
"Hut wbat ulu you do when you
