NY HEAR HUNT.

Y
| didn't do nearly as much hunting as
the bear did did not start out intend.
Ing to hunt. lie did, went 10 get the
butter, when But ann getting ahead
NJ my story. Il was when was about
thirteen years old that my father took
my brother aud myself camping with |
him In tho Adlrondaclss. We pitched |
our tent nj the head oi Little Tppcr |
Lake. There was 0 spring Of fine cold
water not far back in the woods. So,
after making our beds out Of pine
boughs. building q fire and setting up
the table, We went down to the spring
and put our butter which was in n tin
pail lifted with q water-tight coycr--in
i TO keep cool.
All went well for the first few days.
Father and brother VIII (who was H.
lcrn) shot o deer 30 that we had plenty
OF vcnison. The guide caught n guam
tity Of trout, and we were enjoying our
selves 50 thoroughly that we began 10
dread the time when We should have TO
return home.
Can't we stay longer than two
wccks~ ! asked father one morning.
"We'll stay until the butter gives
out" he replied, laughing.
The nearest place to get butter was
twenty miles away, and rs Il was disap.
pcaring rapidly, owing to the appctiie'
( 81 growing bows. father had alread,
warned ns of the necessity Of cconom,
0 In that direction. We were. after that
very sparIng In our use Of butter, and |
n seemed 10 bid fair TO last longer thai
4 The promised two weeks. As the gnld
was preparing supper one evening
