I lifted them out of the harness and prepared by eve. nlng meal with slow and exhausted movements, but sustained by a devout feeling ot thankfulness that the Journey had been successful." It Is Dr. Frank B. Russell speaking from the Great Beyond-through the medium ot his book, written not long before this noted Iowa explorer and scientist departed on man's greatest of all discoveries to that land, whence no traveler ever returns. As warm-hearted as he was courageous.

Dr. Russell revealed the true gentleness of his nature, when he wrote of the last time he saw the four-footed friends, who served him so well. In his "Explorations in the Far North," we read: "NudJuk, Treff, Major, and Corbeau, we have bunted, eaten and slept together for the last time." He reflected feelingly on their devotion thus: "With aching limbs and bleeding feet they had tolled on, their only reward b'elng the half-putrid fish, of which I was often unable to give them a full ration. Many a time tbey had been beaten into the snow, when exhausted and hungry. Many a time they had been harnessed in the morning, too weak and stiff to start the heavy load, only answering the cutting vhip with their piteous whine." In the University of Iowa museum today, are numerous rare and valuable specimens of the wild animals of the tar, frozen north, whose presence in the Hawkeye treasure trove Is due to bis "deeds of derring-do."
