of the war."
Mountain Beaver ...
The two boys and their dog
had little more than a glimpse of
the timber beast before it moved,
in a sort of rolling waddle, and
disappeared behind a pile of
brush and a small fir tree. In
that tick of time they saw a
lumpy creature, maybe a foot in
length, which seemed to have
more head than body, more
snout than head, and less tail
than anything. Andy, the older
boy, knew what it was.
"Mountain beaver," he breath
ed excitedly, as the animal van
ished and the dog yapped and
leaped for the brush pile. "Never
saw one close before maybe we
can catch him. Sic 'em, Rufe!
C'mon, Ted!"
The two boys grabbed up
sticks and ran after Rufe, who
was now barking furiously about
the brush pile. It was young
firs which had been cut and then
left behind by people who had
gone into the woods last winter
for Christmas trees. A spring
rfrnuffht hart left brown needles
and small branches tinder-dry".
Sniffing and pawing between
barks, Rufe found a hole in the
ground under the brush. He
quieted down, rooted in, and
pawed dirt. Andy pulled the
dog back, hunched downi peered
into the hole, and finally struck

a couple of matches. He yelled,
as one singed his fingers, and he
flung it, still burning, over his
shoulder. It fell into the dry
brush.
A sharp crackle of fire
brought both boys to their feet.
The brush pile fairly exploded
in their faces. As they scrambled
for safety, the fire leaped into
the young fir that stood, green
and alive, nearby. Its inflam
mable needles turned into a
torch.
The Tree That Never Grew ...
It took twenty men to bring
the fire under control. The
State Fire Warden who bossed
the fire-fighting told the boys a
story, after they had come to
him and gamely owned up to
their carelessness.
"Just think of the fight that
one little tree, now burned and
done for, had to make to grow
for a dozen years," the warden
said. "First, only one out of 500
seeds in a given fall will manage
to sprout and grow. This one
missed falling on rocks or wind
falls and hit good mineral soil.

Then other young firs began try

his lower branches. Last winter
the Christmas-tree cutters gave
him some help, by thinning out
a few of the other trees. But
they left the thinnings as a fire
hazard. Then some boys came
along and got careless with fire.
"After all that fight to grow
and live, this is his end." The
warden stared at the stark,
charred branches. "The tree that
never grew up," he said. "But
if you boys will remember his
story and tell it to others, the
tree will do some real good any
how." P. S. With the warden's help,
the boys got their mountain
