Fall nrntinq in the Maine Woods.

The hunting season is now on and
the sportsmen have already COM
menced to migrate towards the in
exhaustible woodlands and forests of
Maine where game in abundance can
be found.
The reports received this year state
that deer are more plentiful than
ever before, and during the close sea-
son hunters, who had gone down to
camp early so as to get a line on
their whereabouts and be able to bag
few deer at the outset, were startled
at the great numbers which appeared
to be everywhere.
From the Moosehead Lake country
reports are to the effect that the
guides are making ready for more
sportsmen then ever before, and
scores of moose have been seen in
that vicinity.
The country along the Penobscot
river and the Aroostook region are
fairly alive this year with deer, and
this is also considered remarkably
good moose territory.
Maine offers scenes and pleasures
in the line of fishing and hunting all
her own, and in the chase for big
game, she has no competitors. Deer
are not only numerous in Maine, but
they grow to a much larger size, and
the person who knows how to handle
gun at all, is sure ofhis full quota o.
| deer and moose.
Although deer and moose are usual
ly enough to satisfy the appetite Of
the average sportsman, still they are
by no means the only kind of game
to be found in these vast timberlands
Braces of smaller game, together
with plentiful supply of partridge
and quail have already been brought
into camp; in that section which lies
contiguous to the Dead River Region
and known as the Rangeley Region
the farmers are very much troubled
on account of the numerous depreda.
tions which have this year been made
by bears on the orchards and corn
fields. Bears are much more plen1
full this year than ever before, and tc
the sportsman who enjoys this exnit
ing sport, this portion of Maine is al
especially desirable spot.

Fall PLANTING Trees,

On the question of whether it is
better to. plant fruit trees in fall or
spring Prof. F. A. Waugh of the Yer
mont Experiment Station says that
one time is just as good as the other
providing the soil is in good condi
ton and the trees are all right.
There are some advantages to set
ting trees in the fall, the principal
one being that there is commonly
more time for 1t at that season.
There is always rush of work in the
spring, but at this time of the year
farm operations are less pressing.
Sometimes also the trees can be had
in better condition in the fall.
Usually prices are slightly lower for
nursery stock. Furthermore when
fall planting is really successful the
trees are apt to do better than when
spring planted. They become estab-
lished to some extent during the
winter, and are all ready to start
with the first growing weather in
spring.
The chief requirement for fall plant.
ing is good soil in a state of high
cultivation. Raw, lumpy, soddy soil
will not answer. Positions in which
water stands will not do for fall
planting. (In fact trees should never
be set in such places Where the
soil is not light and we'll drained it is
liable to freeze and heave, thus doing
much injury to young trees.
But il the soil is right, and the
trees are right, and the man is ready
to plant, fall setting of fruit trees il

more vegetation I took with me the
boy, who was about Is years of age
and named Whang. As the wind was
, light and a current against us we were
two hours in gaining the island. ! was
strong il the belief that some woman
had been cast away and was shifting
for herself, and thai she had not made
herself known to us simply proved that
she had lost her eason under the
strain OF the hardships or took us for
natives who woui4 modest her. 1t was
near sunset when we put off after a
vain search, and when we reached the
reef surrounding our island and half a
mile GU from the beach tae evening
breeze died out to a calm, and we
lay like a log. Before taking to the
oar to scull us in to the shore 1 sat
quiet for a minute listening to the
whispers of the sea Whang leaned
over the rail of the boat and watched
the sharks darting to and fro and leay-
ing trails of fire behind them, and
things were so still that | could hear
the ticking of my watch, when there
came a strange interruption. 1t was
the voice of a woman in laughter, and
it sounded close by. We both sprang
UP at the sound, wondering if our ears
had deceived us, and as we stood lis
tening the sounds came again. When
they had died away, the boy turned to
me and whispered:
Master, for Gods sake let us get
| ashore at once. There is a witch of
the sea close by. and she will drag us
down."
/ waited ten minutes, and, hearing
nothing more, | picked up the oar and
sculled in to the landing. There i
found the three Cinnamon waiting for
me, and they were in a state OF great
excitement. They had heard the laugh
ter, and they believed with the boy
that a witch of the sea was hanging
about and meant to do us harm. Chi
nese life is made up of legends and
superstitions, and it is useless to COM
bat them. While / argued that there
was a woman castaway about, and
they could not dispute the fact OF the
tracks in the sand, l could no explain
away the laughter. i simply contented
myself with saying that we would
leave some provisions ON the beach
that night and see if they were missing
in the morning and with sleeping with
one eye open to see that the frightened
fellows did not steal the boat and make
off to some other island.
We were down on the beach when
daylight came, and there were fresh
tracks again. The woman had circled
about the heap of provisions, out had
touched nothing. There was a trail
leading out of the sea and another

A FIND ON THE BEACH.
BY NJ. Quad.

Copyright, 1901, by c.. B. Lewis.)
The Palawan islands, in the China
sea, are to the north of Berneo and
form a part of the Philippine group.
They stretch out for a distance of 700
miles and number nearly a thousand.
In the year 1882 I was landed on one
of the Palawans from a Singapore
trader to get up and run a copra plant.
/ had with me four Chinese, and the
trader landed provisions for a year.
After | had the shed up and the work
going l had plenty of time for fishing,
hunting and visiting the other islands.
Nothing of special interest occurred
until u had been on the island three
months. Then one morning as I went
down to the boat to put out on a fish
ing trip I was amazed to find tracks
of a woman's Dare feet on the wet
sands. The tide was out. and she had
wandered along the beach for half a
mile, probably just before daylight. 1t
needed only a glance to tell me that
the person who had left the tracks was
a white woman, but to make sure of it
l called to the Cinnamon. They at
once agreed with me. There was a
trail leading out Of the water at one
spot and another trail leading back at
another spot, but none to show that
the strange visitor to the island had
secuted inland at all. We were on one
of the outer, or seward, islands, with
| nothing between US and the Cochin
China coast. There was a small and
! almost barren island three miles to the
north and a similar one about the same
distance to the south, but Z had visit
ed both and found no people.
Whoever had visited our island in
the darkness had come up out of the
depths of the sea. No boat or raft had
landed on the shore. The footprints
were as plain as a plaster cast, and we
were Immediately interested and more
or less excited. After thinking the
matter over decided that the woman
must have come from n of the is
lands in some way and determined to
give4bot a close search. l set OF 10
the north and in the curse Of an hour
made a landing. This island had an
area of not more than Ave acres. Here
and there a patch of soil covered the
rocks. and young %cocoanut trees were
struggling for life, but the ground was
easy of search. ! went over it care
fully and made the circuit of the is
land in my boat, but not a living thing
did / see aside from tae birds. There
were no wild fruits to sustain life, nor
was ] able to find any fresh water.
It was noon when I got back to my
own island, and after dinner / set out
to search the other. As this one had
