With one brown hand he -parted the stalks before him, and in the other he carried a noose made -from a slender willow withe. His bright, black eyes peered cautiously -about at every step. - -Some distance ahead of him a small gray rabbit was hopping slowly -along, stopping here and there to take a nibble of tender, young grass, -or to stand up on his hind legs and look about him. Bolo was hungry and -he thought a little rabbit would make him a good dinner. - -Closer and closer he crept. He raised the noose for a throw. Then all -at once the little animal pricked up his long ears, gave one startled -look ahead and plunged off into the thick grass. - -At the same moment a boy about as large as Bolo broke through the grass -just beyond where the rabbit had stood. He did not see the rabbit. All -he saw was Bolo standing with arm upraised and an angry frown on his -dark face. - -Bolo struck at the boy with his willow wand. He was very angry at him -for scaring away the rabbit. - -“Why do you strike at me?” said the boy, whose name was Fisher. - -“You drove away my dinner,” said Bolo fiercely. - -“I did not see any dinner,” replied Fisher. - -“It was a fine rabbit,” said Bolo sulkily, “and I am very hungry.” - -“So am I,” said the boy. “Let us go and catch a fish.” - -Bolo’s face grew less angry. - -“I cannot catch fish,” he said. “I can only catch rabbits.” - -“I will show you how,” said Fisher. - -Bolo saw that Fisher had something in his hand. It was a long, stout -cord of reindeer sinew, and on one end of it was tied a splinter of -bone. The splinter was sharp at both ends and the cord was fastened to -the middle of it. - -The boys left the thick grass and ran down the slope to the river. - -There were many trees growing near it, and some of them had long -branches which hung out over the water. Fisher caught hold of a branch -and swung himself nimbly into a tree. Then he crawled out on a limb -that reached out over the river. Bolo followed him. - -“We must be very still now,” said Fisher. - -He unwound the roll of sinew and dropped the bone splinter into the -water. It was only two or three minutes before Bolo saw a shining fish -leap up and catch it. - -Fisher laughed and pulled the fish out of the water. But before he -could get hold of it, it had struggled loose and fallen into the river -again. - -“I think I can catch a fish,” said Bolo. - -He slid down the tree and crept close to the edge of the water. He kept -very still. In a few minutes he saw a big fish come very close to the -shore. He made a quick spring and caught it in his hands. - -Fisher came down the tree quickly. - -“I could not catch a fish like that,” he said. - -“I catch rabbits that way sometimes,” said Bolo. - -The boys were so hungry that they did not wait to catch any more fish. -They climbed back into the tree and sat down on a limb. They rubbed the -fish against the rough bark to loosen the scales, then they tore pieces -of flesh out with their fingers and ate them raw. - -After they had eaten all they wanted they threw the rest on the ground. - -“Now I will catch you,” said Bolo. - -“Come on then,” cried Fisher. - -What a queer race it was! They did not run on the ground as boys do -now, but swung from limb to limb through the trees. Fisher was very -strong and quick, and he dodged and climbed so nimbly that Bolo was -soon left some distance behind. - -At last they came to the edge of the woods. There were no more trees -very close, and Bolo thought Fisher would have to turn back. - -“I will get you now,” shouted Bolo. - -But Fisher slipped down to the end of a long, slender limb and hung -with his hands. He swung back and forth farther and farther at each -swing. Before Bolo could reach him he had flung himself far out toward -a tree that stood by itself several yards from the edge of the woods, -and with a daring leap, had landed among its branches. - -Bolo laughed and started to slide down the limb too. He thought he -could leap as far as Fisher could. Then he glanced down to the ground -and began to climb back up the tree as fast as he could go. - -“The cave bear! the cave bear!” he shouted. - -Fisher glanced down, too, and his face had a look of great fear on it -as he realized the danger he had been in. - -There on the ground below them was an immense black bear, growling and -reaching up the trunk of the tree as far as she could. - -Bolo was badly frightened. He did not think any more about the race. He -clambered back among the trees as fast as he could. - -But Fisher did not dare to leap back the way he had come. He thought he -would stay where he was. He knew if he should fall the bear would very -quickly tear him to pieces. - -When Bolo had got quite a distance from the bear he stopped. He could -still hear her growling and tearing at the bark. He was glad he was -safe, but he was sorry Fisher could not get away, too. He thought that -if Fisher did not get away he would no longer have a playmate. - -Then he thought of something else and ran on through the branches as -fast as he could go. - - - - -CHAPTER II How Bolo Learned a Lesson - - -It did not take Bolo long to get back to the Valley of Caves. The cave -where he lived was near the river, not far from the place where he and -Fisher had caught their dinner. When he came in sight of it he slid -down out of the trees and ran quickly across the open space. - -“The bear! the bear!” he cried. - -His mother, whose name was Stitcher, was making a wolf-skin coat for -One Eye, his father. She was sitting on the ground in front of the -cave. She was sewing with a long, slender bone needle, and the thread -she used was made of reindeer sinew. - -When she heard Bolo shouting she jumped up quickly and ran to catch up -little Antelope, her baby, who was playing near by. Then she ran for -the cave. - -“The bear! the bear!” screamed Bolo over and over. He was out of breath -from running, and that was all he could say. - -Stitcher at once began to throw dry wood on the fire just inside the -cave. She knew that no bear would dare to enter as long as she kept the -fire blazing. - -It was some time before the excited boy could make her understand where -the bear was. She thought it was coming to the cave. But when she found -out the danger Fisher was in she stood for a minute thinking. - -“The men are all gone,” she said. “They have all the spears and -harpoons. Here is a strong bow, but there are only three arrows. You -can not kill a bear with arrows.” - -“I will try,” said Bolo eagerly. - -Not many men in the Clan could shoot with a bow. They had always used -spears and harpoons. They made the heads of them out of flintstones. -One Eye had been the first man in the Clan to make arrows. He had -learned how from a stranger who had once visited the Clan. One Eye -thought the arrows much better than the spears, but most of the men -liked their old weapons best. - -Bolo had never shot an arrow himself, but he had seen his father do so -many times. When he thought of the savage bear growling at the foot of -the tree he was afraid. Then he thought how brave One Eye was, and of -the terrible battle with the auroch which had cost him one of his eyes -and had earned for him the name of being the boldest man in the Clan. -That had happened many years ago when One Eye was a boy like Bolo. - -“I will shoot the bear,” he said again, and his voice was more eager -than before. - -His mother gave him the stout bow and the three arrows. He ran back to -the trees as fast as he could go. When he got to the nearest one he -took the bow and arrows firmly between his knees and grasped the lowest -limb with both hands. In a minute he had drawn himself up and was -scurrying back through the branches to the place where poor Fisher was -waiting. - -He found the boy just where he had left him. The big bear was growling -fiercely and walking around the tree. Often she would stop and reach up -as far as she could with her forepaws, tearing viciously at the bark -and snarling with rage. - -When Fisher saw Bolo coming he shouted for joy. He did not think Bolo -would come back. Cave people did not often think of helping each other. -Each had to take care of himself. - -“Now see me shoot the bear,” called Bolo proudly, fitting one of the -precious arrows to the bow. - -“Twang!” went the bowstring. - -But Bolo was so excited that the arrow flew wide of its mark. The bear -roared more angrily than ever. - -Bolo sat down on a thick limb. He was not so sure of killing the bear -now. He fitted the next arrow very carefully and waited till the bear -had turned so as to face him. Then he drew the shaft back against the -taut string and took steady aim. - -“Twang!” went the second arrow. - -What a roar there was then! The arrow pierced the bear’s shaggy hide -just above her shoulder and she rolled over and over on the ground, -clawing at it and howling with pain and anger. But presently she was up -again, tearing madly at the tree where Bolo was sitting. - -[Illustration: “There was only one arrow left”] - -There was only one arrow left. Bolo’s face grew very sober as he fitted -it to the string. If he should not kill the bear this time poor Fisher -would have to stay where he was until some of the men came home. He -might grow so weary that he could not hold on any longer, and then the -bear would eat him. - -But if he could kill the bear! Ah, then he would be a hero indeed--a -great hero like One Eye. And then, too, the cave men would all see what -a fine weapon the arrow was, and they would know that One Eye was wiser -than they were. But even One Eye had not thought a bear could be killed -with arrows. - -Bolo waited until the bear was over her first rage and had grown quiet -again. By and by she paused a moment with her forepaws against the -tree, looking up into the branches. Bolo took careful aim right at her -small, wicked-looking eye. - -The third time the arrow flew from the string. And this time it went -straight to its mark! The bear shrieked with agony and reared up on her -hind legs. Then she rolled over on her side in the grass. Bolo waited -to see if she would get up. Then he called to Fisher. - -With a wild whoop, both boys slid down to the ground. At first they did -not dare to go very near the bear. Fisher picked up a stone and threw -it at her, but she did not move. Then how the boys danced and shouted! - -But Bolo soon thought of something else. - -“The wolves will come,” he said. - -“We must hurry back to the caves,” said Fisher. - -“Then we will not have any bear meat,” returned Bolo. - -“We must save the meat if we can,” said Fisher. “But we are only two -boys, and the wolves are many and fierce.” - -“Gather some dry wood quickly,” said Bolo. “I will run back and bring a -torch.” - -It did not take long for the boys to make a circle of blazing sticks -around the carcass of the bear. But almost before it was done they -could hear the terrible howl of the hungry wolves, and they knew the -pack was closing in about them. Fisher was frightened and wished -they had left the meat for the wolves. But Bolo only laughed loudly, -and threw stones through the wall of fire at the wolves, and called -tauntingly to them. He knew they were safe so long as the fire burned. - -Pretty soon it grew dark, and still the hungry wolves howled around the -wall of fire, pacing restlessly up and down and watching for a place -to break through it. The boys were getting tired. Besides, all the dry -wood they had been able to gather would soon be gone, and then what -would they do? They could save themselves by climbing into the trees, -but then they would have to give up their bear, and such a supply of -meat was a prize. It meant a feast of many days for the whole Clan. - -“If I had more arrows I would shoot the wolves, too,” said Bolo; “then -we could go wherever we liked. When we get back to the cave I will ask -my father to teach me how to make them for myself.” - -“I hear someone shouting,” said Fisher, just as the dawn was beginning -to show above the treetops. - -Both boys called out as loudly as they could. In another minute they -were answered. - -“We are coming,” shouted the men. - -The men carried blazing branches in their hands. They came running -toward the snarling wolf pack, screaming and waving the firebrands -about their heads. The wolves quickly slunk away among the trees and -did not dare to come near again. - -What a time there was when the men came back to the Valley of Caves -bringing the bear. Bolo and Fisher had to tell over and over how it had -all happened, and just how the arrow had killed the great beast. One -Eye was very proud, partly because the people knew now what good things -arrows were, and partly because Bolo had shown himself to be such a -hero. - -“He has learned a great lesson,” said One Eye. “He has learned how to -take care of himself like a man.” - -“You must teach me to make arrows,” said Bolo. - -“Yes,” said One Eye, “that shall be your next lesson.” - - - - -CHAPTER III The Flood and the Fire - - -In a cave close to the river a very old woman lived by herself. She did -not do any work. The cave people brought her everything she needed to -eat, and when she wanted a new garment Stitcher made it for her. She -had something more important to do than to gather food or sew skins. -She had to take care of the Great Fire. - -Sometimes the fire in the other caves went out. Then Flame, for that -was the old woman’s name, had to light a torch at the fire in her cave -and give it to the person who needed it. So of course the Great Fire -must never go out for if it did no one knew how to get any more. - -No one knew where Flame got the fire in her cave. Her mother was Keeper -of the Great Fire for the Clan as far back as the oldest men could -remember. She taught Flame how to talk to the Fire-god and persuade him -to give her the fire, but Flame had never told anyone else. She liked -to be the fire-keeper herself. - -Bolo and Fisher often went to Flame’s cave. They liked to watch the -great blaze always burning on the big flat rock just inside the -entrance to her cave. They brought her dry wood for it, and sometimes -she would let them roast nuts or broil slices of meat or fish over the -smaller fire where she cooked her own food. She would never allow them -to go very near the Great Fire on the big hearth, and she never used -that one to cook her food. - -Bolo and Fisher often played in Flame’s cave. There was a small hole -away at the back of it where they could crawl out into the sunlight. -Flame did not like this hole. She was afraid some wild animal might -come through it. So she told the boys always to roll a great rock -against it when they were through playing. This was the first door any -of the Clan had ever had. - -When it rained the cave people stayed at home. They were warm and dry -in the big caves. They always kept great piles of dry wood stored away -so that the fires rarely went out. The little children played about -in the firelight. The women, with Stitcher to teach them, pounded the -skins soft or sewed them into garments. The men busied themselves -making new points for their spears and harpoons. But One Eye always -made arrow heads instead, and since Bolo killed the cave bear many of -the men came to his cave to be taught how to make them, too. Many were -beginning to think arrows much better than their old weapons, but some -of the old men still declared they were of no use. - -Once it began to rain, and for many days the clouds never broke and -rain fell constantly. The season was warm and the boys had a great deal -of fun running about in the wet. They always left their skin coats in -the caves when they did that, for if the skins got very wet it made -them stiff and hard. - -At first this was sport, but as the days went on and the torrents still -poured down the cave people began to get uneasy. Their stock of wood -was running low, too, and the weather was turning colder. - -“How high the river is running,” said Fisher one day. “And see how many -branches, and even great trees, are floating down on it.” - -“It is almost up to the hole in the back of Flame’s cave,” said Bolo. - -“We had better go and tell her,” said Fisher. So away they went to -Flame’s cave. - -“The water never comes into my cave,” said Flame. - -“But it is coming now,” cried Bolo in alarm. And sure enough, a little -trickle of muddy water was running across the floor. - -Flame looked at the tiny stream anxiously. - -“We must roll the great rock closer,” she said. - -Bolo and Fisher ran to put the big rock in place. Then they tried to -daub mud about the edges to keep the water out. But it did no good. The -stream was constantly growing larger, and Flame grew frightened. - -“The water will put out the Great Fire,” she said. “Ah, see! It is -coming in at the front of the cave, too.” - -“It will drown us,” cried Fisher and Bolo in great fear. “Let us run -away from it.” - -As they hastened out of the cave they saw people hurrying here and -there in great confusion. Bolo saw his mother with little Antelope on -her arm. She was running toward the trees. He saw One Eye, too, and -wondered what he had in the great skin bag he was carrying. - -Everyone was screaming and calling, and everywhere he looked he saw -the muddy river. It had broken over its banks and was flooding all the -land. How fast it came! - -Higher and higher it grew, with a great rush like the breaking of a -big wave on the ocean; and before Bolo and Fisher could get to the -trees it was nearly to their knees. - -The boys never forgot that terrible time. For many long hours the -rain fell in gusty sheets, and below them, as they sat huddled close -together on a big limb, they could see nothing but brown, rushing -water. They called sometimes, and at first one or another of the cave -people would answer. Once Bolo heard his mother’s voice. But after a -while there were no more answers. - -Then it began to grow very cold. The boys could not keep warm even -by sitting very close together. In the clouded light they could see -groups of cave people on the hills about the Valley. As they looked at -one group, to their horror, they saw a great pack of wolves fighting -through the water to reach the same high place. From another hilltop -they could hear the snarling of frightened and savage hyenas. - -“It is better in the trees,” said Bolo. - -“I wonder where Flame has gone,” said Fisher. - -It seemed to Bolo as if they must die before the rain ceased and the -flood went down. Their hands grew so stiff that they could hardly hold -to the limbs. Dark came, and daylight, and dark again, they could not -tell how many times, and still the water raged below them. Once in the -night they felt something strike the tree, and in the morning the body -of a great wildcat hung limply across the end of the limb. - -“I am glad he was dead before he found our tree,” said Bolo with a -shudder. - -When the rain stopped at last and the water began to go down the boys -could hardly move. They tried to call, but their lips were stiff and -would not make much sound. Now and then, as the water whirled past, the -ghastly face of a drowned cave man would glimmer for a moment below -them, only to be swallowed up at once by the grim, brown water. - -The water went down as fast as it had risen. As soon as it was safe the -boys slid stiffly to the ground and limped back to the caves. They were -hungry and cold and miserable, and they thought how good the fire would -feel. But though they searched long and carefully through the sodden -ashes they could not find so much as a single spark. - -By and by more of the cave people began to come back home, one by one. -Frantically they searched through the desolate caves for a glimmer of -fire, but none could be found. They were in despair. How could they -live without fire? There would be no way to cook their food or to warm -themselves when it grew cold. And, worst of all, there would now be no -way to keep the wild beasts out of the caves, and all of the people -would have to go back to the trees to live, as did their fore-parents -so long, long ago. They were very wretched, and could do nothing but -huddle together in groups, trying to realize all that the loss of their -fires would mean to them. - -But where was Flame? Perhaps if they could find her she could help -them. They thought she knew where the Fire-god lived and could get him -to send them fire. - -“Let us see if we can find Flame,” said Bolo. - -So he and Fisher started out to look for her. - - - - -CHAPTER IV The God Who Lived in the Sun - - -By this time the sun was shining brightly. The boys held out their -stiffened hands and thought how good and warm the sunshine felt. - -“It is like the Great Fire,” said Fisher. - -“Perhaps the Fire-god lives in the sun,” whispered Bolo, looking toward -it with an awed expression on his dark face. - -As they came near Flame’s cave they saw that she was there, sure -enough. She was down on her knees in front of the entrance, making -strange motions with her hands. They thought she was looking for -something. - -“Wait a minute.” Bolo caught Fisher by the arm and drew him back. “Let -us see what she is doing.” - -Just then she slowly rose to her feet. She turned her face toward the -sun and stretched her lean arms up as far as she could. Her long gray -hair streamed out behind her and her eyes were very bright. She looked -as if she was seeing something a long way off. Her lips moved. - -“She is talking to the sun,” said Fisher in a frightened whisper. -“Perhaps she is calling the Fire-god.” - -The boys came cautiously nearer. They were not afraid of Flame, but -they were not sure what might happen next. And they were very curious -to hear what she was saying. By and by Flame turned and saw the boys. -She beckoned them to come nearer. - -“The Water-god is great,” she said in a solemn voice, “but greater is -the Fire-god. He has spoken to me from his dwelling place, the sun. He -has promised that we shall have the Great Fire again. But,” she added -slowly, “I am old and my strength has grown small. I must have help. -You must help me.” - -How proud the boys were! Gladly they ran at her bidding to bring the -driest sticks they could find. It was hard to discover many, for the -long rain had soaked everything through and through. But they climbed -into the trees and broke off dead limbs that had become partially dried -out again, and they broke open rotten logs to get the dry, crumbly wood -that lay at their hearts. It was not very long until they had brought -together a nice supply of dry sticks and light, tindery wood. - -Flame was on her knees again when they came back, and now they could -see what she was doing. She had a long, pointed, hardwood stick in her -hands and was twirling it very fast in a little hollow in a flat block -of soft, dry wood. While she worked she mumbled to herself, now and -then looking up at the sun and speaking as if to the god that she said -lived in it. The boys stood very still and watched her. - -Flame worked a long time. Then she threw down the pointed stick and -wrung her hands. - -“I am too old,” she wailed. “No more are my hands strong to bring the -Fire-god to help my people. Oh, woe is me! woe is me!” - -Bolo came up timidly and touched her shoulder. He held out both hands, -opening and shutting his wiry brown fingers. - -“My hands are very strong,” he said. “Let them be as your hands and -twirl the stick while you speak to the Fire-god.” - -Then Fisher spoke up eagerly. “Do you not remember the game we play -with the stick and the strap? Do you remember how very fast we can make -it go? Let us both twirl the stick with the strap while Flame speaks to -the Fire-god.” - -So Fisher brought a flat, strong strap made of reindeer hide and -wrapped it around the stick. Then he and Bolo took hold of the ends and -drew them back and forth. - -How fast the pointed stick did go! Flame showed them how to hold it in -the hollowed block, then she rose and once more faced the sun, her arms -held toward it and her lips mumbling a prayer to the Fire-god. - -Faster and faster whirled the stick, and louder and louder prayed -Flame. Pretty soon she began stamping her feet and waving her hands. -She moved around the boys in a circle, her face always toward the sun. - -For a long time nothing happened. Then at last Bolo saw a tiny thread -of smoke rising from the hollow. - -“The fire is coming,” he shouted. “Pray! pray!” - -In another moment a very, very small spark glowed through the smoke. -The eager boys sprinkled crumbs of dry tinder upon it and soon they had -a small blaze. A few dry sticks made it leap up brightly, and then how -Flame shouted and sang and flung her arms up toward the sun. - -“I have heard the will of the Fire-god,” she said after a time. “I am -old, and he has taken this way to show me that I must teach someone -else to call him. I might have died in the water, and then who could -have helped the cave people? They must all have died, too. And it -is better that two should know than one, for then the secret of the -Great Fire will not be so easily lost. You are faithful; you will -be faithful. I will teach you. But first you must carry fire to the -people.” - -Bolo and Fisher each took a lighted torch and started back to where the -discouraged cave people were huddled together. How everyone shouted for -joy when they saw the fire coming. They knew that again they were safe -in their homes in the Valley of Caves. - -It was not many days until most of the people who were left were back -at home again. Some had been swept away by the water, some had wandered -away when they found there was no fire, and some had died from cold and -hunger. All felt very sad when they saw how the water had laid waste -their pretty valley. - -They had lost all their weapons, too, and old Quickfinger, who had made -most of the spears and harpoons for the Clan, was nowhere to be found. -They thought he must have died, for they knew he would never have left -them. - -Then One Eye showed them what he had carried away in the great skin -bag. He had gathered up all the arrows he could find, many spear and -harpoon heads, and the flint flakers that Quickfinger and himself had -used in making them. - -“I can make better arrows than Quickfinger,” he said. “Arrows are -better than spears or harpoons. I have taught Bolo, and he will help me -make them. I will teach you, too. The women must make the bowstrings. -Soon we will have plenty of weapons.” - -“One Eye is wise and prudent,” cried the cave men joyfully. “We will do -whatever he says. He will take care of us.” - -But they did not know that Flame had taught Bolo and Fisher a greater -lesson than how to make arrows. She made the boys promise to keep -secret what she taught them. She did not believe it was right for all -the Clan to know how to make fire. She thought the Fire-god would be -angry if she told them. - -Years after, when Flame was dead, Bolo and Fisher thought the rest of -the people ought to know, too. They did not believe the Fire-god would -be angry if they taught them all. So one day, when they were both old -men, they gathered the Clan together--but that is another story. - - - - -CHAPTER V A Long Search and What Came of It - - -Many days went by and still Stitcher did not come back to the Valley of -Caves. One Eye took his bow and arrows and went here and there among -the hills, but nothing could he find of either Stitcher or little -Antelope. He was very sad, for he remembered how pretty little Antelope -used to run out to meet him when he came home after a hunt, and what -fine shirts of reindeer and wolf-skins Stitcher made for him. One -day he came back to the caves after being gone a long time. He threw -himself wearily down and said very sadly: - -“They are dead. I will search no more.” - -But Bolo did not believe his mother was dead. - -“I am going to try to find them,” he said. “Make me a strong bow and a -quiver full of fine arrows, for I may be gone a long time.” - -One Eye shook his head mournfully. - -“You will only die, too,” he said. - -But Bolo brought some flint stones and set to making his arrows. Then -One Eye sat down to show him how to make them more keen and beautiful -than any he had ever made. He took a curved piece of bone and chipped -off the large flakes. Then he pressed off smaller flakes one by one, -working very carefully, until he had made a fine, keen point. Bolo -watched his father and worked in the same way, and soon they had a -nice lot of arrows. Bolo made a new head for his spear, too, and bound -it on with a fresh cord of reindeer sinew. - -At last all was ready. One Eye brought a great, hollow bone that he had -taken from the leg of a mammoth years before and fastened a wooden base -to it. He drilled holes in the upper edge and strung thongs through -them so that Bolo could carry it over his shoulder. Then he put the -arrows into the hollow of the bone. It made a good quiver. - -Bolo carried his bow over one shoulder and his quiver full of arrows -over the other. He carried his spear in his hand, and at his side he -hung a heavy hammer made of stone. One Eye wanted him to leave the -hammer and take a great club that he had made from the jawbone of a -cave bear, to which one long, sharp tooth was still attached. But Bolo -was afraid of this club. He was afraid it would make the cave bears -angry with him. So he did not take it. Fisher wanted to go with Bolo, -but Flame said “No.” She had grown very feeble and she was afraid she -might die. If both boys went away and never came back there would be no -one to talk to the Fire-god. So Fisher stayed to help Flame tend the -Great Fire. - -For three days Bolo wandered about over the hills. At night he tied -himself to the branch of a tree, safely out of the reach of harm, and -slept soundly. He shot a rabbit now and then for food, and sometimes -caught a fish. One day he found himself suddenly surrounded by a pack -of snarling, hungry hyenas, but a few well-aimed arrows sent them -scurrying off into the hills. How glad Bolo was that they were not -wolves! - -One day Bolo climbed a tall tree that stood alone on a hill. He hoped -he might be able to find some trace of those he sought. He looked -slowly about in every direction. On one side the hills lay like great, -rounded billows, many of them covered with trees. On the other side -wound the river, in some places between sloping shores, in others -between steep banks. Off toward the north it disappeared behind a -jutting cliff. It was a long way from Bolo’s tree, but he thought -he could see something moving along the river bank. He looked again -eagerly. Perhaps that might be his mother and little Antelope. - -He climbed down the tree and ran across to another hilltop closer to -the river. Here he climbed another tree, and from that he saw something -so strange that he held his breath in terrified surprise. - -[Illustration: “Bolo had never seen any animals like this before”] - -Great, lumbering creatures were moving about along the edge of the -river. They had heavy, swinging snouts, and from their enormous heads -rose in great curves immense, yellowish things that looked like queer -horns. Bolo had never seen any animals like these before. He watched -them with fascinated eyes, wondering what they could be. Sometimes one -of them would reach up into a tree with its great snout and pull a -branch down. Two of them appeared to be quarreling, and one thrust its -shaggy head and wicked looking tusks against the side of the other and -made him stagger. Another waded out into the river and appeared to be -drinking. In a minute he threw his trunk over his back and out spouted -a stream of muddy water. There were fully twice as many of these -animals as there were fingers on both of his hands. - -At last Bolo thought again of his mother and little Antelope. How he -hoped they had not been trampled to death by these dreadful beasts. He -had almost given up finding them now, for he was sure that even if they -had not been drowned or killed by wild beasts they must have starved. -So, sad at heart, he started on the long journey back to the Valley of -Caves. - -Weary and heartsick, he came in sight of the caves. But who was that -running up the slope to meet him? Surely it could not be--yes, it was! -It was dear little Antelope, holding up her baby hands and shouting -his name. Down the hill he ran, forgetting his aching limbs and heavy -heart, and how both laughed and shouted for joy as he caught his lost -sister up and put her on his shoulder. Together thus, they came to the -cave where Stitcher sat, her brown hands for once idle as she leaned -wearily against the side of a great rock. She looked very worn and -thin, but smiled gladly when Bolo came up and put his arm about her -shoulders. - -“We looked everywhere,” he said. “Where have you been all this time? -And how did you live?” - -“I will tell you another time,” said Stitcher. “I do not like to talk -about it now.” - -How excited Bolo was as he told One Eye and the other cave men about -the strange herd he had seen in the distant valley. The whole Clan was -at once in a turmoil. One Eye gave it as his opinion that the great -animals were mammoths, which rarely came into that region, and were -very valuable for their meat, their skins, and the ivory in the long -tusks. One mammoth would make meat for all the Clan for many days, and -they were all eager to start at once on a great hunt for them. - -“We must take spears and harpoons,” said one. - -“No, we must take bows and arrows,” said another. - -“We will go up the river and attack them from the water,” said a third. - -“No,” objected a fourth, “that would frighten them back into the hills -and we could not get them.” - -In short, each man in the Clan seemed to think he knew just what to do, -and would not listen to anyone else. For a while it looked as if the -great hunt would have to be given up. - -“Why not choose someone who is brave and wise to lead you, and then all -do as he tells you to?” suggested Bek, the oldest man in the Clan. - -No one had thought of that. - -“That is right,” said Flame, who had come up to listen. - -“But how shall we know who is the wisest?” called several voices at -once. - -“Who has done the most for the Clan?” asked old Bek. - -“One Eye saved our weapons when the flood came.” - -“He taught us to make arrows.” - -“He is not afraid.” - -“Then let One Eye be the leader,” cried Flame, and to this they all -agreed. - -Such a time as there was then! The cave men ran here and there -gathering up spears and arrows and clubs and making themselves ready. -The women bound new points on the spears with heavy sinews, and Bolo -helped his father prepare a number of torches from wood soaked in fat. -Flame brought some other torches made from knotty pine limbs. They all -knew they would need fire with which to fight the mammoths. - - - - -CHAPTER VI The Hunt for the Mammoths - - -It was a long way to where Bolo had seen the herd, and they were all -afraid the animals might have wandered away. Bolo and Fisher ran -eagerly ahead, and Bolo pointed out to Fisher the things he had noticed -while searching for his mother. One Eye said very little, but he sent -men up into every tall tree they passed to see if they could discover -the herd. They traveled all day, and when night came they built a great -circle of fire and lay down to rest. One Eye chose four men to carry -torches, and it was their duty to see that the fires did not go out. - -When they came to the valley where Bolo had seen the mammoths they -found nothing but trampled grass and the broken limbs of trees. They -went very slowly and carefully after that. It was not long till a -man, who had climbed into a very tall tree on a hilltop, called out -excitedly that he could see something moving at the base of a cliff -that hung high and steep above the river. One Eye climbed the tree -himself, and looked long and closely where the man pointed. - -“It is the herd,” he said. “Now let every man do just as I say.” - -He divided the cave men into two parties. One was to move up very -slowly from the side where they were, the other was to travel rapidly -around through a valley behind some hills and come upon the herd -from the other side. Bolo, young as he was, was appointed to lead the -first party, while One Eye himself led the second division through the -valley. The men seemed pleased at this for they thought Bolo deserved -some honor. - -When the cave men had surrounded the herd in this fashion they were -to close in upon them, each man carrying a blazing torch, and try to -drive the animals up the landward slope of the cliff, and over it into -the river. They knew they could never kill one of these huge beasts -with any weapons they had. So they thought to kill them by driving them -over the cliff and making them fall upon the rocks below. Some of the -cave men who had never seen a mammoth were very much frightened at the -terrible beasts. They said they were going back to the caves. But the -others taunted them and called them women, until they grew ashamed and -went on with the rest. - -Very stealthily and carefully the two bodies of cave men drew toward -the great herd of grazing animals. One of the older men told in -whispers of another such hunt he had taken part in when a young man. He -said he had never tasted any meat so good as that of the mammoth. - -Bolo watched carefully for his father’s signal. At last it came, and -when he saw the tossing torch he motioned his men to light their -torches and go on quickly. - -In a very few minutes the surprised mammoths found themselves attacked -from three sides by a screaming, leaping line of cave men, each -swinging a fiery torch above his head. At first the huge beasts stood -still. Then they turned and went awkwardly up the long slope on the -landward side of the bluff. The men followed as closely as they dared, -for they feared that when the animals came to the edge of the bluff -they would swing around and rush through the line of their attackers, -trampling them under their great feet. - -One Eye was again leading the entire band. Always he was at the very -front, shouting and waving his torch. One man, more daring than the -rest, ran up and thrust his burning firebrand right against the shaggy -side of the nearest mammoth. The frenzied beast, with a bellow of rage, -turned and tore back through the yelling mass of hunters. In spite -of all their efforts to escape, two men were killed and three more -badly hurt. The rest of the herd, terrified by the confusion, huddled -together on the edge of the bluff. - -“Close in! close in!” shouted One Eye, brandishing his torch in a fury -of excitement. But the cave men were too much frightened to obey. They -were scattered by the stampeding mammoth, and were too scared and -confused to obey their leader. What made things worse was that they had -never been used to obeying the orders of anyone. - -But Bolo and Fisher obeyed. Bolo had drawn a little away from the rest -of the hunters. He had swung his stout bow down from his shoulder and -carefully fitted an arrow to the taut string. No one noticed the sharp -twang as the arrow left the bowstring, but all saw one of the mammoths -rear suddenly with pain and plunge into the midst of the herd. -Startled at this sudden onslaught, the herd pressed a little closer to -the edge of the cliff, and then-- - -Never in all his life did Bolo hear again such a terrific shriek as -the falling mammoth gave. For many nights after that he covered his -ears as he lay down to sleep so that he might not hear it again in his -dreams. Then came the sickening crash as the gigantic body struck the -rocks below. The men turned and fled, and the remaining mammoths, in a -frenzy of fear, tore back down the landward side of the cliffs into the -valley. For some moments the hunters, wide-eyed and breathless, watched -the herd as it lumbered down the valley, until at last it passed behind -the hills and was gone. - -When the cave men hurried down to the river’s edge they found the -immense, shaggy carcass of the dead mammoth lying in the shallow water -at the base of the cliff. They could not move it to dry land, so they -waded out to it and went to work to cut it up with their long flint -knives right where it was. - -But first they sent four of the swiftest runners back to the Valley of -Caves, and to another Clan who lived far up the river, to tell them all -to come and partake of the feast. From every direction they came, men, -women and children, and by the time the hunters had the great carcass -cut up and carried to the shore there was a great gathering of hungry -cave people who all rejoiced at the prospect of so delicious a feast. - -They stayed here several days, feasting and resting. Then, every woman, -loaded with meat, and every man, carrying a heavy club to protect the -party from attacks of wild beasts, they took their way back to the -Valley of Caves. They all knew that if the men should carry the meat -themselves they might all be killed by wolves or other savage beasts. -So the men kept themselves ready to fight while the women bore the -burdens. - -There was great rejoicing when they reached home again. Every one -praised One Eye for his wisdom and courage, and they all agreed that he -should be their leader as long as he lived. - -“Bolo will be as wise as his father,” said Flame. “Wiser, too, -perhaps,” she added, nodding her head sagely, for she thought of the -important secret that no one in the Clan knew except herself and the -two boys. - -“Then Bolo shall be our leader after his father is dead,” said old Bek. -But he suspected what Flame meant. - - - - -CHAPTER VII How Stitcher Saved the Clan from Hunger - - -Many months passed by and in the Valley of Caves all was going well -again. The flood was almost forgotten. Nuts and berries were plenty in -the woods and the hunters always came home laden. No one thought very -much about the time when they had been so hungry and cold and wretched. -That is, not many people did. But Stitcher could never forget the days -after the great flood when she had wandered about in the hills with -little Antelope in her arms, not knowing which way to go, hungry and -weary and in danger. She always shuddered when she thought of it, and -called her little girl up close to her. - -She remembered other times, too, when nuts and berries were few and -game was scarce. She thought there ought to be some way to get ready -for such times so the cave people would not need to suffer so much. So -one day when the men brought in great quantities of meat she cut some -in strips and hid it in the top of the cave. - -“I will keep this till the rest of the meat is gone,” said Stitcher. -But she told no one what she had done. - -It was a long time before Stitcher thought of the meat again. Then she -only remembered it because she happened to think of that terrible time -when she had been so hungry. She reached up in the top of the cave and -brought down the strips, and behold! the meat was deliciously smoked -and dried by the heat of the fire. - -“It is good,” she said, and gave some to One Eye to taste. - -“Yes, it is good,” he said, reaching for more. - -“After this we will not need to go hungry any more,” said Stitcher, -“for when the hunting is good we will save meat.” - -“How wise and thoughtful you are,” said One Eye. - -There was something else that Stitcher did not think of for a long -time. When she was so far from home, and little Antelope was crying for -food, she had found some strange stalks that had grains like tiny brown -berries in a sort of husk at their tip. She shook some of these berries -out and gave them to Antelope, and ate some herself. They tasted a -little like nut meats but were even better. - -Stitcher had brought some of these grains home in her doe-skin pouch. -She carried them to eat on the way, but she did not eat them all up. -When she got back to the caves she threw the rest of the berries out on -the ground. A few days after that she noticed some particularly bright -grass growing where she had thrown the grains. But she did not think -that it might have grown from them. - -The grains had fallen in a sheltered place where the new green blades -were not trampled down. In time the stalks became yellow and dry, and -at their tips were more husks filled with smooth brown grains. When -Stitcher saw them she cried out in delight. - -“They are like the berries I scattered on the ground,” she exclaimed. -“I will scatter these again. I like to see them grow.” - -So, instead of eating the brown kernels, Stitcher shook them all out of -the husks on the ground. This time she watched them, and was careful -to see that no one walked upon them. After a long time there were more -yellow stalks and more sweet, nutty grains. - -“Here are a great many berries,” said Stitcher, as she shook them out -into a big wooden bowl. “We will eat some of them. But most of them I -will scatter again. By and by there will be enough so we can all have -some of them to eat.” - -After that Stitcher had some grain growing near her cave all the time. -Many heard of this wonderful new food and came long distances to get -some of the kernels. And soon most of the cave people were raising -little patches of wheat in the open spaces about their caves. - -“We will never be hungry again,” said Stitcher. - -Years after that Stitcher lost all her teeth and could not eat the hard -grains. So she put some of them into a hollowed stone and pounded them -with another stone till they were soft. In this way the cave people -came at last to grind grain for bread. But it was many, many years -before they learned how to do that. For a long time they ate it just as -it came from the husk. - - - - -CHAPTER VIII The Pictures on the Wall - - -Bek, the oldest man in the Clan, lived in a cave not very far from the -one where Flame kept the Great Fire. - -It was a wonderful cave, more wonderful even, the boys thought, than -Flame’s. They were almost afraid to go into it, however, for the cave -people thought old Bek had the power of making charms. - -One day as Bolo peeped into Bek’s cave the old man was drawing a -picture on a smooth place on the rock wall. He had a queer little lamp -made of hollowed chalk-stone. This was filled with fat. Into the fat -Bek had stuck a bit of the pith of a water-rush. He could light this -little chalk-cup lamp and go on with his pictures when he had no need -for fire. - -[Illustration: Picture of a Mammoth Cut in Ivory by a Cave Man and -Found in one of the Caves of France.] - -“What are you doing?” asked Bolo. - -“Come and see,” said Bek. - -When Bolo went closer he saw that it was a drawing of a reindeer. He -watched as Bek added line after line, bringing out the graceful curve -of the neck, the turn of the long, branching horns, and the dainty, -slender legs. - -“I should like to make a picture, too,” said Bolo eagerly. - -“You may try,” said Bek, handing him the bit of brown soft stone he had -been using. - -So Bolo tried and tried, but when he was done no one could have told -what it was he had been trying to draw. - -“I will make pictures yet some day,” cried Bolo, throwing down the -stone. “I will make the cave bear I killed, and the mammoths.” - -“See here, now,” said Bek. - -He took a large, smooth piece of the tusk of the mammoth the cave men -had killed. One Eye had given him one of the ivory tusks because he -knew the old man loved beautiful things, and the ivory was very smooth -and beautiful. Then he took a sharp flint awl and began to make deep, -careful marks in the ivory. Bolo watched him with great interest. - -“Why, it is the mammoth itself,” he cried at last. “Only wait, Bek; the -great tusk did not curve up quite like that. It was more like this.” - -Bolo took the awl and made a mark that he thought showed more nearly -how the tusk looked. Yet he was not quite satisfied and tried again, -and the next time both he and Bek declared that the curve was right. - -“Now we must put in the long hair,” said Bek, drawing short, straight -lines down over the animal’s head and shoulders. “There, now! here is -the eye, too, and the big, flapping ears. Ah, ha, my Bolo, we must show -this to One Eye and see what he says.” - -When One Eye saw the drawing he became very grave. - -“It is a charm,” he said. “Whoever carries that can never be harmed by -a mammoth.” - -So he bored a hole through one end of the ivory and ran a thong through -it. Then he hung it about Bolo’s neck. The lad was very proud of his -new ornament and showed everybody the wonderful picture Bek had made. - -Day after day Bolo worked with Bek in his cave. Many were the drawings -he made, or tried to make, and at last old Bek began to say he was -doing very well. - -“The animals like to have us make their pictures,” said Bek. “They -think we want to be friends with them when we do that.” - -“I will make them look more like animals,” said Bolo. “I will cut them -out with my flint knife.” So after he had drawn a picture of a reindeer -he cut it out very carefully. - -Now it was Bek’s turn to be surprised. - -“I had never thought of doing that,” he said. So he, too, tried to -carve pictures of animals he had drawn. - -By and by other cave men began to be interested in the pictures that -Bek and Bolo made, and soon many of the men were trying their skill. -The women brought a sort of red and brown clay, and painted the animals -after the men had drawn them on the cave walls. - -And although all this was thousands and thousands of years ago, the -drawings and paintings are still to be seen. They tell us many things -more than have been related here about the cave men of Bolo’s time. -They tell us of another animal, more terrible than the cave bear or the -mammoth, the dreaded Sabre-Tooth, striped with rich, velvety brown like -a tiger, and strong and bloodthirsty as a lion. They tell us of the -ways in which the cave men fought and lived and learned, and so came to -know many things that were never dreamed of in the days of Bolo. But -all that is another story. - -What is of more interest to us just now is to know that when Flame -died, many years after the great hunt, Fisher was made Keeper of the -Great Fire in her stead. This was the highest honor the Clan could -show, excepting only the honor they had shown to One Eye when they made -him their leader. - -“Bolo must learn many things,” said One Eye. “I am growing old and the -Clan must never again be without a lawmaker. And the man who is to make -the laws must be fearless and wise and good.” - -It was long after that, however, before Bolo took his place at the head -of the Clan. For One Eye lived to an old age, and became wiser and more -just with every year. - -Little Antelope grew up as pretty and graceful as the beautiful animal -whose name she bore. When the young Chief of another Clan, living in a -valley far across the hills, saw her as she sat sewing skins beside her -mother, and called to her to follow him, she did so gladly, for he was -tall and brave and handsome. - -There was another pretty maiden, too, whom Bolo thought the loveliest -he had ever seen. So, one day he found a new cave, where no one had -ever lived, and made it ready for his own home. - -But how he won the maiden, and what brave deeds he did in his long -after years cannot be told here. That, too, is another story. - - * * * * * - -INSTRUCTOR LITERATURE SERIES - -7c--Supplementary Readers and Classics for all Grades--7c - -☞ _This list is constantly being added to.
