Icalled him several times, he paid no

was interested in, and found him busy
feeding on some moss that grew ut the
roots of a fir tree; so I lett him and con-

currsd to me to hide and see how he
would act; SO I slipped into q hollow
stump chose by the trail and awaited
the result. Presently heard him COM

he had passed ] stuck out my head to
watch him. When he got about twen-
ty feet beyond me he stopped and COM
menced looking around, and the COM

scanned every object that bore any re-
senblancc to n human being caused me
to burst out laughing. when he turned
and saw me. Then he commenced to
sulk and would not 20 any further, SO
had to return home.
