moist wood road from the big hillside pasture before him he heard an un expected buzz of voices somewhere just beyond the scattering of plume- like young cedars that had encroach- d upon the slope a number of young fellows were talking of which scarred the hiuslope just then the kite which now was almost over the shore three hundred yards to the north wobbled and dived what would happen ixthe wind rhould fail and the kite drop on the high voltage wires the red signs on each corner of each tower had spoken their waniinft to him many tinies danger deadly voltage keep off but they had not spoken it to the scouts the power line was entirely out o sight from where uiey stood and they nad not passed under it on their way out from kintsport if the kite should fall below the crest of the hill and drop its cord across the wires whowver had hold of it would be elec trocuted clark leaped to the shore reeling up his line as he leaped and tossed his reel from his shoulder he must warrf the boys as he ran along the shore he kept h ye on the kite it was unsteaiay u- swooped like a bat as he reached uie place wliere the climb up uw ledge was easy the kite dived ariajiid not recover the breeze was ruling qlark swung himseli up between the trees the hook dangling at the end of the rod which he had forgotten p throw away fouled a branch he snapped tlie line and struggled on breathlessly between the lefive he could see the kite dropping lower and lower almost over his head when he reached the cleared swath through whlcltelhe power line ran the fctte was so low that its cord barely cleared die top of the kill- he could not reach the crest in time he began tto shout but the scout might not know what he was shouting about he rushed under the wires and as he did so accidentally thrust the fishing pole full into an oak sapling a sav ing though sprang into his mind in an instant he had bent a hook and a heavy sinker on to the line and was charging to the highest point in the clearing he pulled a long slack of line foam his reel swung the pole and cast forward toward the cord of the kite and parallel with the deathfiued wires he missed as he reeled in frantically the kite settled lower still clarks second cast had to win and it did the sinker soared higher than the wires higher than the copper claxkstopped to listen he was gomgflshmg nd-he- dwtiot

punctuated with an occa sional shouu i what was going on clark became curious when he had located the source of theound he started toward it he had not taken three steps be fore he saw something that startled him above the trees atty yards away appeared a brilliant red box it shot forward several yards in a i of singular jerky rushes and then dropped from sight thats a new one thought clark i it cant be fishermen or picnickers and who else would come out here 1 when he reached the spot where i the box had disappeared be smiled at his own astonishment three uni formed boy scouts of perhaps sixteen years were gathered about a sixfoot box kite of red cotton not enough wind he asked tpraid not said one this wiuvbe a dizzy demonstration if some doesnt show up mighty soon weve got this radio here he pointed to a closed suit case that clark had not noticed before and were sposed to get in touch with 3zd down at the port to i tell him weve done the whole twenty- five miles we planned can do h you see said another unless we get up this kite antenna hows she fixed clark inquired wire hang down from the kite or do you use it for a string i should think it would be pretty heavy either way this sixroot kitel lift half a mile of the wire weve got on that reel the stuff wont kink much we use it as a string and aerial both added the first boy but it takes wind to lift the kite have a look at the set said the scout who was kneeling clark set down his unjointed rod and bent over the case it contained two homemarje sets a singletube con- tlnuouswave transmitter and a two- tube receiver in the space not oc cupied by the instruments were the b batteries and a miscellaneous col- lection of headsets spare bits of wire i pliers and tape the ooys had left i their bicycles in a thicket on the highway a quarter of a mile distant one had carried the instrument case one the small a baztery and one the reel of wire and the knockoddown jjrtje t great stuff clark remarked as he left them hope you get some wind i hope you get some flari they re plied i on he went up the gradual open slope of the pasture beyond tte trees j the scouts watched him for several minutes until he had dlsarjpeared be yond the crest of the hill his path led down steeply through a narrow band of scrub oak rjirough the cleared swarth where the wires of the pre- slmpslc valley btectrlc power com- nany ran and down the treecovered outcrbppings of a ledge to the lake i the last few rods were a scramble and rush he brought himself up at the bank by hooking an arm round a convenient birch then he moved south along the snore for a short dis tance to where there was more space between the ledge and the bank rav ing jointed his rod and bundled the case into the bottom of the creel he started casting out a small trolling spoon k the second cast brought a strike but he did not strike quickly enough in return ten more minutes of trolling had no result clark fitted on a bob and a stoker clambered out upon a rock that stood up from the bottom anu proceeded to sound until he had adjusted the unto to the depth then he baited and watched tor the bob to disappear he did not have long to wait in a minute h was gone in two minutes a fine txun lay flopping inside the creel in three mtaujes the bob was out again there was a longer wait this time but he did not mind he liked to look off across the solitary water and think how he had it all to him self except for a loon that equally pleased with the solitude was diving and laughing down off the point he liked to watch the skippers darting on the sheltered surface below the rock to see the wavelets chasing end lessly by the bob and to watch the shadows of tanf- kingftshers swing across the surface shadows what was that strange big shadow the loon dived silently clark turned and looked up over his shoulder a fresher puff of air struck his face high above the hilltop swung the crtmson kite clark watched it as it gained alti tude and rose toward a point over the shore he was a little tndlgant that people went trespassing on the soli tude of his lake the dots and dashes that were jgoingout from that copper rxjrd on which the kite swung were tnkudfble where he was but perfectly distinct twentylive miles away how ever an intruding kite wasnt so bar as that power line the gist towers the cord clark ws atready running diagonally away from the wires the kite gave a jump upward as it felt the new pull and the jump car ried it free of the wires clark con tinued to run pulling the kite inward toward the hill and down at last it was safe he had me cord in his hands behind him it drooped down ward over the trees from the crest of the hill in front it straggled over the slash to the fallen red box it was not long before three indign ant scouts appeared on the sky line it was but thirty seconds later that three wordlessly grately scouts were listening to clarks description of what had almost happened i erin master walter scott son of mr and mrs o d
