If it is you are getting a great deal of satisfaction right now looking at your own name included in this list of names of splendid hard working boys and girls Recently there has been a great deal of interest in comic strips and a number of boys have started to contribute these clever features We are glad to have them as variety adds spice to the section Each one must wait his turn patiently however and we shall Use just as many as we can Point winners this week are: dark ages His master retired him from sled work and took him to his home among There the Rumapo mountains speedily adapted himself to his new surroundings and became a loved and honored member of the Thomson family He showed an almost uncanny intelligence and a deathless devotion for the children of the household He also developed into as clever a herder of sheep and of cattle as any trained collie and he was trained with entire ease to the duties of a hunting dog Indeed there seemed nothing he could not learn A dozen tests proved his scenting powers to be as keen and accurate as a bloodhound’s Through a crowded Street he could follow unerringly the track of his master or of anyone whose scent he knew He was taught to draw a light lawn mower over the more level parts of the lawn Its weight was as nothing to his tough muscles which had been Inured to hard sled dragging Not only did he draw the mower with ease but he soon got the hang of the direction in which he was supposed to take it Another stunt of his was going for the mail and waiting eagerly while itn Thorn-eoWas sorted by Dr Thomson would read aloud the names on each envelope and then would hand the envelope to Pamelus Never making a mistake the dog would carry it to the person to whom it was addressed even if he had to hunt all over the house and grounds in order to find the addressee For tome reason this mail distributing trick was a delight to the wise dog Unlike so many sled dogs Pamelus did not seek fights Up in the far north when food and even life for a dog depend on ability to thrash the dog nearest him a decidedly warlike spirit is fostered But this ugly trait seemed to have passed Pamelus by or else he conquered it If another dog wilfully attacked him Pamelus proved himself ti terrible fighter swift deadly scientific fearless But he would not pick quarrels His woven white coat was so thick and long that it served as sn armor to him in combat Also he had learned warfare In a grim school and he had acquired the tricks and the mighty atrength of the sled dogs Altogether he was not a pleasant rpponent as more than one pugnacious Ramapo dog learned to his cost His only wound was received when K dog of twice his weight spraflg upon him unexpectedly Pamelus Teet slipped on the wet grass and he lelL Instantly he recovered himself but not before his enemy had given lum a bad slash below the right eye Pamelus whizzed into the battle With wild beast fury and with all his acquired knowledge of inflicting punishment The other dog was torn almost to ribbons before he could flee howling in distress Once when Dr Thomson was called away from home on business Pamelus would not eat He revised to be comforted At last he went to his master's room and lay down disconsolately on Thomson's bed There he stayed and there he might well have starved to death ifhis master had not come home again Said Dr Thomson: attachment of this "The breed is of tragic intensity” And he was correct This was shown past doubt in the case of Pamelus’ sire Polaris I have already told you the first part of Polaris’ story At that time the sequel had not yet occurred It is worth telling Polaris you will remember belonged to one Harold Baynes a naturalist who wrote treatises defending vivisection Baynes also wrote a book about Polaris describing the latter’s Introduction into civilized New England from the wilds of the far north and the difficulty the dog had in adjusting himself to civilization But quickly he fitted himself to his new life and he became utterly For years the devoted to Baynes two weie hums “dog and Polaris was a The big Baynes was the one man white sled dog was beautifully happy in his New England home Then — according to Baynes’ own to the printed statement — it seemed naturalist that it would be a fine thing to send Polaris back to Labrador to serve Dr Grenfell and others as a sled dog He thought Polaris should do his bit toward aiding in such philone-ma- n t one-ma- anthropic work Personally 1 don’t get this point of view at all Surely there were enough sled dogs in the north without exiling Polaris from his happy life and from the master be had grown to adore If Baynes wanted to help Grenfell and the rest with the gift of a strong sled dog I can’t see why he did not send his check to some dog trainer in Labrador and buy from him a dog Application for Membership in Knighthood of Youth Name Parents’ Name Date of Birth Address (Street) Grade in School (City) (County)

already living there — or two or more dogs — for this purpose instead of sacrificing his chum The result would have been the same and Polaris would have been saved much grief However that was Baynes affair Most assuredly it is not mine In any case it was a spectacular "gesture” and one which brought much newspaper notice Well Polaris was shipped from his matter's home to Labrador and there he was turned over to the sometimes doubtful mercies of the sled drivers —the "mushers” However nobly Baynes had intended the sacrifice Polaris had his He own views about the change was sick at heart and angrily bewildered at being sent so far away and at the loss of the man who had been his god Here is one newspaper’s account of what followed: “When Polaris was returned to the wilds of Labrador he went frantic He killed every dog in his new owner's kennels and the Iceland cattle on his tundra” Perhaps Baynes might have rendered greater and less expensive service to the cause if he had kept Polaris at home and had bought a native raised sled dog as a substitute for him in Grenfell’s team When last I heard of Pamelus the grand cream white dog was still the idol of the Thomson household reveling in any rough handling from the children romping with them as gently as if they were made of glass and appointing himself their pal and guard He would allow no stranger to come near Dr Thomson without interposing his own tensely alert body between his master and the possibil-i- t oy of harm from the newcomer A snowy mate of ancestry as ancient as his own was bought as a companion for him
