4 Romance Of The Great Chesuncook Forest.
BY J. r. h.

Ridden in the recesses of the great
Suncook forest was the cabin OF
ID. mas Theirault. The tall pines made
cooling shade in summer. and protec-
ton from the fierce wintry blasts that
swayed the broad arms of these giants
OF the woodlands.
DamaS was but seventeen, yet old
was he in cunning, and outwitted
the mink, the otter and the beaver
with curiously contrived trap that he
set along the streams which flowed
into the big lake. while his line of sable
anares extended for many miles over
the hardwood ridges. beyond the
darker growth of the lake shore.
The black bear. moose. and red deer
fell easy victims TO his merrng rifle.
and the skins made luXuriant rugs and
drapings for the silent home of the
young hunter.
Half score of miles adown the lake
side lived old Xavier and Fenice, his
daughter-old Xavier. who had
pinched and saved for an the fifteen
years since Fenice had come to cheer
his hardened heart. and make life
worth the living since the going of the
mother. who tarried but for the bless
ing of the good father who had come
from the far Canadian city al
Eaviers call, in the hour of his SCR
row.
