ates, cups, knives, forks and spoons, kettles, pots,
frying-pans, sugar cans--and so the list went on. The old shelves were
removed from the blind end of the cabin and placed near the window in the
other end. These were to serve as pantry shelves in the kitchen corner.

After breakfast was over one group returned to the car for another load,
while Ham, with a helper, pushed forward the construction of the aerial
bunk. The queer old shakedown was torn to pieces and the poles used for
Ham's bed, the rest of it was shoved out of the back door and set afire.
On this load the stove came, two fellows supporting it on the pack-saddle
of old Peanuts. It was set up near the window and a work table built at
the end of it. Another set of shelves was made for the pantry, and soon
all was in readiness at that end of the house. The old grub box was
converted into a bread box, and the little old stove was set back in an
out-of-the-way corner. It was, indeed, the passing of the old to give
place to the new.

Tuberculosis seemed to enter completely into the spirit of the new, for
he had walked calmly back and forth over the shaky old bridge which
crossed the stream with load after load of shingles and sacks of cement
and a thousand other things that were to have a place in the cabin. There
were windows and a heavy pine door for the new room. There were axes
and saws and hammers. There were buckets and lanterns and iron bars to
put over the windows, and stove-pipe for the kitchen stove. Then, too,
there was a grand old crane for the fireplace and the frame for a wire
screen to keep the flying brands on the hearth. Not a thing that would be
needed had been forgotten. It was a weary crowd of fellows that came
slowly along the trail at noon with the last load of boards, hung on the
sides of Peanuts' saddle, the nails and hardware, packed in heavy canvas
bags, loaded on Tuberculosis.

The aerial bunk was all completed before dinner time, except thatching it
with balsam boughs, and all hands would help at that after the noon meal.
Mr. Allen prepared the meal, and it was a real camp dinner. Could fellows
ever have been so hungry before?

In the afternoon the rest of the old back veranda was demolished and
cleared away. A large number of great, tall aspens, the choice of the
grove, were cut, trimmed, and dragged in, in readiness for the new
structure. It seemed that all the jays for miles around and all the
squirrels in the valley came to in
