THE EXPLOIT OF DAVID AND (JORDON Continued from page 1 “That's a swell idea, and maybe there’ll be a buried treasure there too, was David’s comment. “Aw, there aren’t any treasures left and if there were it would be all jewelry. What would we do with that? “Well, we could give most of it to Mother and I might give just one little bracelet to Sally l»arnes.” “Oh, girls, girls, girls! that’s all you ever think about,” remarked the woman hater disgustedly. All went well with the runaways. A jar of jam, some crackers, cookies, and numerous other things were taken from the pantry shelf to keep the explorers from starving on their long and perilous journey. It was decided to start when all members who might interfere were safely out of the way. To the waiting adventurers it seemed hours before their parents went to their room. In reality it was scarcely nine o’clock. The boys stole silently from the house, each carrying a blanket and a knapsack. Looking back at the house each wondered how many years it would be before they would return to the home of their childhood. When they reached the landing they slipped quietly into a rowboat Which they slid into the water. They rowed on and on in the cool night air. Finally they arrived $t their destination. They fastened the boat and with remarkable courage ventured onto the island which they expected to be their home for months to come. “The first thing we ‘gotta’ do is build a fire to keep the wild animals away, said Dave. “Yeh, and then let’s eat and go to sleep.’ The knapsacks were opened and their contents spread before the two very hungry boys. Without much trouble they managed to consume the larger part of the jam, half the crackers, and all the cookies. “We’ll have to hunt our own food after this, Dave. “Of course, we will. Let's roll in now. I’ll

Da e, what was that? 1 heard something, but I s’pose it was only i mountain lion.” ‘‘Probably it was. Don’t be afraid. Remen -ber I’m here.” Once again all was quiet and within fiftce' minutes both boys were sound asleep. No once during the entire night did eithei of iher move. When they awoke in the morning th fire was out and they were numb with cold The fire was rebuilt and the remainder of the food was eaten. ‘‘I ’magine we had better bring down a couple o’ wild cats for food about the next thing we do,” said Dave. Off they started with B-B guns over their shoulders. After tramping around for an hour they decided that the big game was not out that day. They managed to find a few wild raspberries, but by noon a feeling of hunger was gnawing at the pit of each of their stomachs. In the afternoon they again tried their luck as hunters, but to no avail. They began to be resigned to the fact that they would surely starve to death. “Gord, I suppose we might go home. I’m fearfully hungry, and I haven’t seen any sign of a buried treasure,” said David in a ra.h.r weak voice. “I guess you’re right, and I don’t think Robinson Crusoe had such an easy time either.” Two very tired and hungry boys started dejectedly down to the shore whero they had left their boat. To their surprise and dismay the boat was gone! For a moment they stare I at each other as if in a stupor. “Who in the sam hill would do such a dirty trick as that,” were the first words spoken by Gordon. “Gosh, darned if I know. Now we will have to starve to death.” “Gee, I’m sorry we didn’t tell Mom and Dad goodbye. I wonder if they’ll miss us.” “Indeed we would,” said a deep voice. From behind a tree stepped their father himself! Never were two boys so glad to see anyone as these two were to see their father. “I guess it’s pretty lucky I overheard your plans yesterday, and another thing, you two young scamps nearly had a boat to pay for. I found yours floating around on the lake on my way over.” This adventure of David and Gordon cured them forever of the wander-lust.
