"I don't seem to be \able to get through, no matter how hard I try." "I'll help you," answered Snap, and worked his way to the small youth's side. "Say, fellows, the bottom isn't very safe here!" exclaimed Whopper, a second later. "It's all spongy!" "Let us get out!" put in Shep, thinking of his experience in the hollow tree.
"Giant said something about fishing through the ice," answered his companion. "He appears to love that sport." "Well, it is nice when you can catch anything and Giant is always lucky." They had proceeded less than half the distance up the lake to the camp when Snap came to a halt. "Listen, Shep!" "It is Giant calling," answered the doctor's son. "He must be in trouble!" "Whopper!
There, between two trees, crouched the lion that had escaped from the circus. The eyes of the monarch of the forest were fastened on the bear, and his tail was swaying from side to side, showing that he was getting ready for a leap. "Shall we -we shoot?" asked Snap. He was so agitated he could hardly speak. "Why not take a picture?" asked Shep, who had his camera still in his hand.
"Why didn't we think to bring a lantern?" said Dorothy, as they huddled together on the platform of the scale. "Will thee go back after one, Shep?" "If Reuby'll go, too." "Well, my legs are wet enough now. What's the use of a lantern? Mighty Moses! What's that?" "The old mill's got under way," cried Shep. "She's going to tune up for Kingdom Come."
They could not locate the exact route toward their camp, but made it as nearly as possible. The snowdrifts were truly terrific, and even on snowshoes they made slow progress. "Wait, I see a rabbit!" cried Shep, presently, and he pointed to a clump of bushes. Then he unslung his shotgun and pushed his way forward. A gray head appeared over the rim of snow and he blazed away.
Quickly a lantern was lit and held over the opening in the floor. Down below two dark forms, covered with mud and flour paste, could be seen clutching at the slippery braces of the spiling. Snap and Shep could scarcely keep from roaring. "There they are! Get the gun!" yelled the doctor's son. "Two dangerous burglars!" cried Snap. "Wonder where they came from?"
"Now is our chance to get away!" cried Whopper, and dropped to the ground, while the others did the same. "Wait!" came from Snap. "That sounds as if somebody was in great trouble. Hadn't we better go and see what it means?" "And get caught by Pop Lundy?" queried Giant. "I don't care," put in Shep. "If I can help a lady I am going to do it."
Jally told me how it could be done." "A good idea!" cried Shep. "We'll do it right away. Only we don't want any flashlight, for that would scare the lion away." "No; we'll have to run the risk of having the camera worked in the daylight." It was dark by the time their task was accomplished.
These figures show the 'stop' of the shutter, and these the length of the exposure. Have you a timecard for exposures?" "No; but we are going to get one," answered Shep. "They are quite valuable; but even with a card one must often use his own judgment as to just what stop to use and how much time.
"A buck will fight sometimes and when he does he's as ugly as any critter on four legs," said Jed Sanborn. "I might have fixed him with my first shot only Shep bumped into me. But I know he didn't mean to do it," added the old hunter hastily. "I didn't see you I was looking at the other deer," explained the doctor's son. "Can we get any more of 'em?" demanded Whopper.
