added to his fears. They had started
early and padded good 20 miles up
an almost currentless stream; on either
bank lay an impossible wilderness,
much of 1t swampy. No hunter or
trapper stealing along ahead had been
sighted that day, and il this wild man
the doctor had seen was he who was
prowling around their tent the night
before; how had he reached this spot?
But Martin had already decided upon
his own course, and though startled
somewhat by the doctors fright, he
now pulled himself together once mora
and attempted to calm his frightened
comrade.

old trapper that you saw, Doctor" he
said finally, ''and they are harmless.
If 1t was, he will show up by and by,
and hang around till we offer him a
drink I've met them many times
here in the wilderness before, and a
little good rum secures their friend
ship for life, so don't worry" And
Martin resumed his cutting of boughs.
When supper was over and night
campfire, conversation was resumed
Are there many Indians wild in
these woods?" queried the doctor,
glancing up to where the zone of fire.

But the face saw belonged to

who had not recovered from it, land

THAT, may be- returned Martin,
land so would any old trapper look
when you saw him. They never shave

to another, and all look alike-ragged,

and, as / told you, they are all harm
less and love rum. If you saw one

and by now is fast asleep up back of
here in the bushes"
With that Martin arose, for it was
time to turn in, glanced first at the
starlit sky and then up at the open
ing in the forest back of the tent. At
that moment Levi CHANGED to throw
a handful of fir boughs on the dying
fire, and as the flames flashed in re-

Martin caught the full view Of a

ended.
Five years later he returned to spend
Thanksgiving with his mother, and,
though he met Angie at church and re-

neglected to call. And then came the
closing of his home, when his mother
left the village to live with his only
sister, now married and dwelling in
Riverton, and Angie and Greenvale be-

the simple. breakfast of fried trout,
ham, eggs, and coffee, eaten while sit
ting cross-legged on moss-covered
log, the packing Of their belongings,
the launching and loading of canoes,
and SO the day began.
I'VE have an easy day ahead of us, =
observed Martin, when they were ready
to start, "a good twenty miles up the
MoOsehOrn, which enters this lake close
by, with no quick water or carries.
We can reach the North Branch in
ample time to make camp tonight and
catch some trout there for supper" 1t
was an attractive programme, almost
unvarying for all such days in the will

press of the previous nights caller,
creeping close to the tent, had almost
vanished from Martins mind But it
was soon recalled in an unexpected
way, for Levi, always last to leave each
camping spot, was about to enter his
canoe and push off, when he paused,
and stepping to one side of the bit Of
beach, stopped over, looking at some
thing.
What is it?" queried Martin, from
the canoe.
II dunno; you better come and see"
answered Levi
Martin stepped out of the canoe and
to where his guide stood, to be as much
astonished, for there in the hard damp
sand, close to the bank, was queer

made by a human foot. with the deeply
indented claw marks Of a panther.
Only these showed distinctly, for the
heel mark was scarcely visible. 1t
looked asfif the creature making it had
come out of the water and up on to the
harder bank, where no track would
show.

too busy making money!
And that night when the chat had
come to an end, and Martin had crept
into the tent and lay listening to the
crackle of the dying fire, once more he
lived over those fond and foolish days
of his youth.
And how clear and distinctly they
all came back, now that the pages be-
gan to turn! First the school days,
when Angle, in her little checked ging-
ham pinafore, had chosen him as her
rescuer in a game of Stand in the
WE'LL, then the first spelling school
and the walk home with her in the
early autumn, when the Mizzy looked
like stream of ripping silver, and
the moon cast notified shadows along
the maple-shaded lane which they fol-
lowed. And what delight it was to
feel her small, soft hand on his jacket
sleeve, and how scared he was when
Aunt Comforts was reached, and he
felt impelled to kiss Angie. Then the
next winter, and that never-to- be-for-
gotten sleigh-ride to Riverton, and the
homecoming when the bells jingled so
merrily, and the sleigh runners creaked
in the frosty snow when the horse
walked, and how his arm nearly froze
holding the robe around Angle! All

furniture, open fire, and shiny brass
fire-dogs, came back, with the popping
of corn, the tin pan of seek-no-further
apples, and bowl of cracked walnuts as
side features of minor interest.
There were other and equally charming
occasions-moonlit evenings on Aunt
Comforts porch when the lilacs We're
il, bloom and the fireflies twinkled over
the meadow, long walks to bridge
across the Mizzy, where sweet flag
grew, with many stolen kisses fragrant
with fagroot, gathered as well, and
dozens of other and equally delightful
