you feel the effect to your fingers ends
IA fullness of exquisite happiness and
contentment-a freedom from care and
an independence of spirit, the remem-
brance of which clings to one forever
| after like the treasured memories OF
childhood.
Just as the shades of evening begin to
darzen our path we wheeled out OF the
thick dense forest, and in an instant
were in front of
PAUL SMITHS.
It is a charming hotel, capable of ac-
commodating $50 guests and is situated
on a grassy bluff about 90 feet above
and overlooking the Little st. Regis
| lake, one of the most beautiful sheets OF.
water in that region. The house. IS but
| Just out of the woods; one can pitch
| a stone from the piazza into the dense
| forest on every side except towards the
lake. Every fallen log and upturned
root is left Just as it fell. With a jeal-
GUS watchfulness Paul teams in his wood
from distance rather than mar the no.
bic old forest which 50 nearly encircles
his house. Not a clearing or building,
except about the hotel, can be seen IN
any direction. and there never will while

We had never seen Paul Smith, but we
knew him at once Guides were fitting
about the piazza in grOtesquc costumes,
where a few ladies were also prOmena-

Of splendid trout Just brought in by that
well known oriental traveller and writer,
VIM. c. Prime. Everything was quiet
and hOmclike about the hotel, and its
machinery moved off with the ease and
precision of clock work. We especially
missed the clustering staggering guides
andemployes whose profanity had shock
ed US years before at other hotels in the
lower lakes.
We were ushered in TO a supper table
literally loaded with the best Of food,
and which we fully appreciated after
our ~ miles ride Great luscious, red
mcalcd trout. with a flavor that cannot
be found outside Of the forest, were in
abundance: and although the Doctor
failed in having his boosted three pound
