eyes flash are, we surmise, largely to en-
list the interest OF those who are for the
first time considering going into the
woods. The fisherman or hunter OF one,
two or five years ago needs no book to jog
his memory; II he has not gone into the
woods for season or two there must have
been other reasons than the dstaste or
surieit of this kind of life.
1t may be that one year wife and
daughter have succeeded In laughing him
out OF his plan; they may have made him
actually believe temporarily that the agate
dishes, the sheetless blankets, the linen
less sweater and the wet clothes are child
ish, unnecessary privations for sensible
man. They may even have dragged him
like an unwilling dog over Europe for a
vacation, and another season to an i'm
mense summer hosiery on sandy, tree
less shore, where he may hunt sculpin and
founder and horseshoe crab.
But there must come time when the
gun and the rod are taken down from the
positions on the wall srtsticaiiy chosen
by his better half; when the old clothes
are tumbled over; when the fy-book and
the cartridges in the belt are eagerly
examined by excited fogers-and some
bright morning when the snap of the
early fall is in he air he has gone for the
woods, the camp, the guides and the game.
All, this life OF the woodsi There are
times, as there probably are even in Para
disc, when not all seems to be please ntest;
! too constant messes of trout and venisou
perhaps; the roof may leak, the dies be
too pestiferous, or the wind blow cold
! there may be even cold or two, when
the quinine comes In handy.
But there's something, for instance, in
the return to camp under the stars on a
moonless night, when the canoe is gliding
With scarcely perceptible ripple over the
sparkling stars reflected in the water, and
heading toward a speck OF red light in
the distance that marks the camp which
makes all the discomforts of trip into
the woods seem light.
For the sportsman is laying up stores Of
memories for the year to come; to be sure
he gets his deer at the time, or lands the
square tailed trout, but he is also adding
to his past recollections others that will
give him no rest until, like lover speed
ing to his sweetheart, he will return
another fall with whetted zeal to the land
of lakes and forests.
