Joy was for two years in charge of the detach- ment at Bache peninsula, during which time he made several long patrols, one of them, a remarkable Journey, entailing over 1300 miles of travel, across Ellesmere Island and to the Axel Heiberg, Sverdrup, King Christian, Cornwall and Graham is-|* land.

It seems that fog -and soften- ing snows and rising temperatures are greater difficulties.

"Look, look, Jill!" he erled. "Here's a little river running by our new garden." "I don't think that it 18 big enough for a river," sald Jill, surveying the tiny stream meandering down the hillside. "Maybe it isn't 'zactly a river," Jack admitted, "but it's big enough to sail our boats on." Jack was still busy gazing at the stream, trying to figure out how he could make a little harbor for his boats when Jill made her discovery. He decided that he might bave to build a kind of wall or breakwater, such as he had seen when they were all at the shore last summer. But when he turned to tell Jill of his plan he found that she was no Jonger be- pide him. She had scarcely had time to get back to the house, but she was nowhere in sight, and although there were quite a number of trees all around there, were no leaves, as yet to hide anyone from view. The gar den seemed quite empty, Where could Jill have disappeared to? Jack was so puzzled that afler he had looked all about him he even glanced into the stream. But even supposing that she had tumbled in, the water was not deep enough to hide her feet, let alone the who her substantial person. "Where are you, Jil?" he called. "Where are you?" But there was no answer. His little sister scomed to have vanished completely. A sudden scolding and chattering above his head made Jack look up, and there in the branches of a large beech tree sat a fat grey squirrel. He appeared to be disturbed, and for a moment Jack forgot Jill and thought that he would like to find out what as the matter. He walked round to the other side of the tree and there, crouched into a big hole In the trunk, he found Jill, "You'd never have seen me," she laughed, "if it hadn't been for that noisy squirrel." "Maybe he has some nuts hidden away in the tree," said Jack after he had recovered from his astonishment. "Maybe he has," Jill agreed. Then she looked up at the branch where the gray squirrel was still scolding forth in an agitated way. "We won't tell anyone else, Mr. Squirrel," she sald, "We'll just keep it for our own little secret hiding place." En" i Dolling Up the Freaks.
