Old Joe looked about him with despair in his eyes. When the sled had
gone over the edge of the cliff, the ropes that bound the load to it and
the harness of the dogs had gone with it. There was not so much as a
foot of rope left by which they might devise a means of reaching Jack.
Tom groaned.
“What are we to do?” he demanded.
“We moost keep on and get help from La Roche. Eet ees not far now, mon
garçon.”
“But by the time we get back, Jack may be—may be——”
Tom could not complete the sentence.
For lack of something to say, old Joe gazed about him. Suddenly he gave
a cry of delight. On a ledge not far above the trail there were growing
a thick clump of cedar trees.
“Bien! I get rope queeck! Watch, mon garçon!” he cried.
“But how in the world!” began Tom.
“Nevaire min’. Len’ me you’ hunting knife. Eet ees bettaire dan mine.
Bien! Now ole Joe, he get rope vitement.”
The old trapper stuck Tom’s knife in his belt and clambered up to the
steep plateau where grew the cedar trees. He ascended one after the
other, peeling off long strips of bark from each. At length he had a big
pile of long, pliant, tough strips collected on the ground. He brought
these down to where Tom stood watching him with puzzled interest,
although he had an idea of the object of Joe’s labors.
“Voila! Behold, mon ami! Now we soon have rope.”
“You mean to make one out of these?”
“Oui! Many a time have I make rope lak dat.”
“A strong rope?”
“A rope dat would hold a wild buffalo. Oui!”
“It was fortunate that those cedars were there, then.”
“Mon garçon,” solemnly spoke old Joe, “le bon Dieu put dem dere to
remain till dere appointed time came.”
The old trapper set Tom to work plaiting the ropes in strands of three
lengths of bark. These were knotted together till they made a strong,
pliable rope of the required length.
Then they went to the edge of the crevasse. Jack was sitting up with one
of the blankets from the sled drawn about him for warmth. He looked up
as they shouted down to him.
“Jack,” hailed Tom, “do you feel all right now?”
“Sound as a bell, but I wish you could get me out of here.”
“We are going to try to. Can you fasten this rope around you?”
As he spoke, Tom held up the bark rope.
“Easily. Lower it away. If it wasn’t for this ankle of mine I might have
tried climbing out, but I have had to cross that sort of exercise off my
list.”
The rope was sent snaking down to Jack, and was found to be amply long,
for the steep bank was not more than forty feet high instead of the
fifty they had estimated.
As its end came within his grasp, Jack seized the improvised rope and
made a loop in it which he knotted under his arm-pits.
“All ready?” hailed Tom.
“All ready.”
“Then hold tight and help yourself all you can.”
“I sure will. But please don’t let go!”
“Not if we have to go over ourselves,” Tom assured him.
A stunted “rampick” grew close to the edge of the trail. The rope was
passed around this, one turn being taken so that they could rest and
still keep their grip on the rope if they desired. Then the long haul
began.
Inch by inch, resting at times when they were out of breath, the two,
the boy and the old trapper, hauled Jack up to a point where they were
able to knot the rope about the “rampick” and lift their comrade up to
safety with their hands.
Thanks to the softness of the snow bank into which he had been hurled,
Jack had not received additional injury, except for a few bruises. They
rested for a time and then old Joe and Tom resumed the tramp to La
Roche’s place. Carrying Jack between them and making frequent stops, it
was dark when they reached there and found a warm welcome.
Tom promised La Roche liberal pay to take them back to Camp _Yukon
Rover_, and after some demur the trapper consented. The next day he
hitched up his dog sled for Jack’s convenience, and they started on
again under his guidance. They paused on the homeward trail to bury old
Joe’s faithful mamelukes, who had proven themselves, as have many others
of the kind, faithful unto death.
Then the journey was resumed, for old Joe had promised to accompany the
boys to their camp. Tom wanted his uncle and Mr. Chillingworth to meet
the old man who had been such a good friend to them and helped them over
so many stumbling blocks.
On their second day on the trail they espied an Indian coming toward
them. It proved to be Pegic, the friendly Indian with whom they had
camped. He set up a shout on seeing them.
“That Injun sure has suth’in on his mind,” said La Roche, noticing such
unusual signs of excitement in the son of a stoical race.
A few moments later the mystery was explained. Pegic, with some others
of his tribe, had the day before found a white man with a broken neck at
the foot of a precipice.
It had proved to be the “little gray man,” whom they all had seen and of
whose flight and theft they knew. Pegic, recalling the story of his
friend, Joe Picquet, had searched among the dead man’s effects, which
lay scattered about him. Among them were a black fox skin of shimmering
beauty, which the Indian gravely handed to the delighted Tom, and many
other skins, including those nicked from old Joe.
How the Wolf had met his death was never discovered, nor did his
companions ever appear to explain the mystery. One explanation was that
he fell from the precipice during a fight, a theory which some marks on
his body served to support.
With frontier justice, old Joe Picquet awarded to Pegic for his honesty
the skins unclaimed by himself or by the boys. They amounted in value to
a considerable sum, and the Indian was delighted with the gifts of his
white friends.
The next day they reached the camp of the _Yukon Rover_, where they
found Mr. Dacre, Mr. Chillingworth and Sandy. How much they all had to
tell each other and how many hours of the night were consumed in the
telling, you may imagine. Tom and Jack did not receive the scolding they
had contemplated getting for the loss of the black fox. Their recovery
of the skin and the hardships they had undergone on the trail, in the
opinion of both their elders, more than counterbalanced any carelessness
they might have shown.
The remainder of the winter was spent in trapping with old Joe Picquet,
who was retained at a good salary as chief trapper. The old man, too,
not long afterward, bought himself a new team of mamelukes, but fine as
they are he declares that no sledge animals will ever be seen in the
north country to equal his lost team, for which he mourned for many
months.
When Jack’s ankle healed, he took as active a part as any in the work
and play of the _Yukon Rover_ camp. In due course, spring came over the
icy regions North of Fifty-three. The rivers were opened, and one fine
day the _Yukon Rover_ slipped her moorings and with a valuable cargo of
live foxes—destined to start the first enterprise of its kind in the
United States—she dropped down the Porcupine to the Yukon. On the bank
a sorrowful figure stood waving goodbye. It was Joe Picquet. Long after
a bend of the river shut him out from view, the boys could see him in
their mind’s eyes standing there, motionless as a figure of stone,
calling:
“Good-bye! Come back some day!”
“I wonder if we ever will?” mused Sandy as they stood on the foredeck
beneath the “Totem of the Frozen North.”
“Who can tell?” rejoined Tom. “But whatever happens, we shall never
forget our adventures up here.”
“I shan’t for one,” said Jack with conviction.
“Nor I,” echoed Sandy. “I feel different, somehow, bigger and older for
it all.”
“And so say we all!” cried Jack.
And here we must bid good-bye to the Bungalow Boys, leaving them, as
Sandy expressed it, “bigger and older” and better equipped to meet
life’s trials and battles for the experiences that they had faced “North
of Fifty-three.”

The launching of this Twentieth Century series marks the inauguration of
a new era in boys’ books—the “wonders of modern science” epoch. Frank
and Harry Chester, the boy aviators, are the heroes of this exciting,
red-blooded tale of adventure by air and land in the turbulent Central
American republic. The two brothers with their $10,000 prize aeroplane,

and in so doing almost lose their own lives in the Abyss of the White
Serpents, and have many other exciting experiences, including being
blown far out to sea in their air-skimmer in a tropical storm. It would
be unfair to divulge the part that wireless plays in rescuing them from
their predicament. In a brand new field of fiction for boys the Chester
brothers and their aeroplane seem destined to fill a top-notch place,
These books are technically correct, wholesomely thrilling and geared up

THE BOY AVIATORS IN AFRICA; or, An Aerial Ivory Trail
In this absorbing book we meet, on a Continent made famous by the
American explorer Stanley, and ex-President Roosevelt, our old friends,
the Chester Boys and their stalwart chums. In Africa—the Dark
Continent—the author follows in exciting detail his young heroes, their
voyage in the first aeroplane to fly above the mysterious forests and
unexplored ranges of the mystic land. In this book, too, for the first
time, we entertain Luther Barr, the old New York millionaire, who proved
later such an implacable enemy of the boys. The story of his defeated
schemes, of the astonishing things the boys discovered in the Mountains
of the Moon, of the pathetic fate of George Desmond, the emulator of
Stanley, the adventure of the Flying Men and the discovery of the
Arabian Ivory cache,—this is not the place to speak. It would be
spoiling the zest of an exciting tale to reveal the outcome of all these
episodes here. It may be said, however, without “giving away” any of the
thrilling chapters of this narrative, that Captain Wilbur Lawton, the
author, is in it in his best vein, and from his personal experiences in
Africa has been able to supply a striking background for the adventures
of his young heroes. As one newspaper says of this book: “Here is
adventure in good measure, pressed down and running over.”

THE BOY AVIATORS TREASURE QUEST; or, The Golden Galleon
Everybody is a boy once more when it comes to the question of hidden
treasure. In this book, Captain Lawton has set forth a hunt for gold
that is concealed neither under the sea nor beneath the earth, but is
well hidden for all that. A garrulous old sailor, who holds the key to
the mystery of the Golden Galleon, plays a large part in the development
of the plot of this fascinating narrative of treasure hunting in the
region of the Gulf Stream and the Sargasso Sea. An aeroplane fitted with
efficient pontoons—enabling her to skim the water successfully—has
long been a dream of aviators. The Chester Boys seem to have solved the
problem. The Sargasso, that strange drifting ocean within an ocean,
holding ships of a dozen nations and a score of ages, in its relentless
grip, has been the subject of many books of adventure and mystery, but
in none has the secret of the ever shifting mass of treacherous currents
been penetrated as it has in the BOY AVIATORS TREASURE QUEST. Luther
Barr, whom it seemed the boys had shaken off, is still on their trail,
in this absorbing book and with a dirigible balloon, essays to beat them
out in their search for the Golden Galleon. Every boy, every man—and
woman and girl—who has ever felt the stirring summons of adventure in
their souls, had better get hold of this book. Once obtained, it will be

THE BOY AVIATORS IN RECORD FLIGHT; or, The Rival Aeroplane
The Chester Boys in new field of endeavor—an attempt to capture a
newspaper prize for a trans-continental flight. By the time these lines
are read, exactly such an offer will have been spread broadcast by one
of the foremost newspapers of the country. In the Golden Eagle, the
boys, accompanied by a trail-blazing party in an automobile, make the
dash. But they are not alone in their aspirations. Their rivals for the
rich prize at stake try in every way that they can to circumvent the
lads and gain the valuable trophy and monetary award. In this they stop
short at nothing, and it takes all the wits and resources of the Boy
Aviators to defeat their devices. Among the adventures encountered in
their cross-country flight, the boys fall in with a band of rollicking
cow-boys—who momentarily threaten serious trouble—are attacked by
Indians, strike the most remarkable town of the desert—the “dry” town
of “Gow Wells,” encounter a sandstorm which blows them into strange
lands far to the south of their course, and meet with several amusing

THE BOY AVIATORS POLAR DASH; or, Facing Death in the Antarctic
If you were to hear that two boys, accompanying a South Polar expedition
in charge of the aeronautic department, were to penetrate the Antarctic
regions—hitherto only attained by a few daring explorers—you would
feel interested, wouldn’t you? Well, in Captain Lawton’s latest book,
concerning his Boy Aviators, you can not only read absorbing adventure
in the regions south of the eightieth parallel, but absorb much useful
information as well. Captain Lawton introduces—besides the original
characters of the heroes—a new creation in the person of Professor
Simeon Sandburr, a patient seeker for polar insects. The professor’s
adventures in his quest are the cause of much merriment, and lead once
or twice to serious predicaments. In a volume so packed with incident
and peril from cover to cover—relieved with laughable mishaps to the
professor—it is difficult to single out any one feature; still, a
recent reader of it wrote the publishers an enthusiastic letter the
other day, saying: “The episodes above the Great Barrier are thrilling,
the attack of the condors in Patagonia made me hold my breath, the—but
what’s the use? The Polar Dash, to my mind, is an even more entrancing
book than Captain Lawton’s previous efforts, and that’s saying a good

means the least attractive features of this up-to-date creditable
volume.”

evidence to the contrary.
RIVAL PITCHERS OF OAKDALE.

and jealous, but earnest, persistent work won out.

restriction, and immediate contact with “all outdoors.” These conditions
prevailed in the summer camp of the Oakdale Boys and made it a scene of
