 A distinguished surgeon, who was al- so detective in embryo, was called to perform an operation upon g. man who had been shot by an unknown as- sassin. The position of the man and the mystery of the shooting rendered the case notorious. The man was un- conscious at the time of the operation, and nothing could be obtained from him.

 "A pistol has been fired at him by a person whois left-handed.''

Camping in the Adirondacks.
Humes Camp, Adirondack Mts.
Sept. l6, 1904.

S6pG. III, 1JOt.
Editors Democrat:
In company with three friends, we
arrived at Humes Camp Tuesday
forenoon. We left the railroad at
Jacksonville and got a team and
driver to take our paraphrenalia to
this camp, a distance of about seven
miles. The camp is situated on the
bank of Eliza lake. beautiful body
of water, which, instead of being
blue like Lake Ontario, is black. In
deed all of the streams I have seen
running out Of che Adirondacks are
the same. This lake is surrounded
by heavy forest, or was once forest
but the woodlands ak has taken out
a large portion Of the hemlock for
the bark alone, the logs being left
to lay and decay. Then too few
years ago, the fire swept through on
either side of this lake and left ruin
and desolation in it's track. Yet
there are quite large bodies of tim
Der here that are dense in foliage at
this time, and in places it is impos-
sible to see only a few rods at a
time.
Two of the gentlemen of our party
are old deer hunters and the other
man and myself are what they call
stenderfeet."
l must tell you a little Of camp.
The first thing after we arrived was
to put things in order. All went to
work with willing hands; one washed
dishes las our camp was furnished
with everything but provisions, one
swept the floor, other got wood, built
the fire, cleaned potatoes, and all
made themselves generally useful.
After dinner was eaten and the
dishes washed, all shoulded their
guns and started out to see who
would get the first deer. The old
hunters cautioned the inexperienced
how to travel and not make any
noise, not TO talk above whisper
and not to shoot unless they could
see something to shoot at. Well, we
crept and crawled, squinted and
looked, and all we could see was the
forest in all its granduer and, occas-
ionally, huge rock, raised many
feet above the level of the ground,
hills and hollows, deer tracks with
out number, sometimes even seeing
their bed where one of more had
rested. This way, we spent three
days in the Adirondack woods but
not one deer did we see and none of
our party had been able to make a
kill in this time.
Friday noon I babe my friends
goodbye and wendell my way to the
railroad, and soon / was speeding my
way back to join Mrs. Coon at Belle
vile.
On Monday we start on our return
trip to the west, but we shall ever
hold in pleasant thoughts the friends
