Dog
iWonder

Bob Dawson and Chuck Blair had just
found the first real big vein of gold in the
small mine they had been working all sea-
son, when Chuck began to talk about
heading back for Placer City.

"We don't want to get caught on the
trail when the snow comes," he argued.

"The sky is clear as a bell/' protested
Bob. "It won't snow for weeks. Why are
you worrying? It's a crime to leave this
gold until Spring."

"It will keep, and we have enough to
livt on this winter. Besides, I know it's go-
ing to snow because Kahnes, my lead dog,
has been sniffing the air all day, ortd act-
ing restless. That's a sure sign."

"WHAT1" yelled Bob. "You, mean you'd
walk out on oil this gold just because that
stupid dog is restless? What does a dog
know about predicting weather? I'm sick
-and tired of the woy you're always talk-
ing about how smart that fool dog is.
He's a good sled dog, and that's all."

Chuck sighed. There wos no use argu-
ing with Bob about Kahnee. He didn't un-
derstand about how dogs could same-
times have a sixth sense. Instead he said,
"I'm willing to stay three more days, then
we must leave or risk freezing or starving
on the trail."

Bob grunted his agreement, and for the
next two days they worked in the mine.
Then, as Chuck was prying at a rock, a
large jagged rock in the wall fell on his
leg injuring it badly.

Bob knew he'd have to get Chuck to a
doctor as fast as possible. Quickly, he
broke camp, loaded Chuck into the sled,
and set off for Placer City.

After three days. Chuck's temperature
rose and he became delirious much of the

time. Meanwhile the sky clouded over and
snow began to fall. Chuck awoke just long
enough to see the dense, swirling snow.

"Guess Kahnee wos right," he re-
marked weakly, "but don't worry, Bob. If
you have trouble, give Kahnee his head
and he'll get us back safe."

Bob gritted his teeth ond grimly he
made up his mind that he could manage
without Kahnee's help.

At last he came to a fork in the trail.
The left branch led across a wide open
snow field. The right branch went through
a mountain pass, and while the trail was
harder to follow, it was ten miles shorter.
Chuck usually took the left pass, so Kah-
nee instinctively started in that direction.
Angrily, Bob cracked his whip and turned
the team down the other trail.

As they approached the narrow neck
of the pass Kahnee slowed down. Bob
shouted at him and cracked his whip but
instead of going on, Kahnee stopped.
Again Bob yelled and cracked his whip ot
Kahnee but the dog stood his ground and
began to bark. Again and again his bark
rang out and echoed through the pass,
and then Bob heard another sound . . .
an ominous "CRACK" . . . followed by a
terrible, rumbling, roaring sound as an
avalanche thundered down the steep
mountain wall somewhere beyond where
they stood.

Bob stood transfixed until the last rum-
ble died away. Then he walked forward
and clumsily stroked Kahnee's head, say-
ing, "I guess I owe you an apology, part-
ner. We'd all have been buried under that
slide if you hadn't shown so much sense.
I guess maybe I'd better take Chuck's ad-
vice and leave it up to you to get us safely
to Placer City."

Bob turned the sled around and then he
gave Kahnee a free rein. With an eager
yelp Kahnee headed back toward the
other trail.

Hours later as they were pulling into
Placer City, Chuck revived and whispered,
"1 knew you'd make it, Bob."

"Don't thank me," said Bob. "It was
Kahnee who got us back safe. I guess I've
got a lot to learn about dogs, and with
Kahnee around I think I'll learn fast."
