looking into that deserted hut, at. the
narrow bunk on one side, the shelf

clean and PILED together, the two rude
stools, tiny stove, pots and pans. Then
he turned to old Cy.

said in detected tone, 1.-The hermits

And absent he had been for many
weeks, as their observant eyes soon
saw. Not only had the falling leaves
drifted up against the door since last

crowd in the pathway and the garden
had been LETT undisturbed since mid
summer. 1t was here that the long,

motioning old Cy to do the same. This
strange recluse was not a dangerous
beast, and yet so momentous was the
question of approaching him, and
whether or not he would admit himself
to be AMI, that Martin hesitated.
'You go first, Cy," he said in low
tone after thinking for a moment,
and I'll Keep out OF sight: Just walk
up to him naturally and say, 'HullC
AMI, or accost him as you were nc
customed TO, and If you take him tina
wares, the chances are he will admit
that he knows YOU" *..'' e. :

Then he glanced at the sun, now we'll
down, and added, 1--WE might as well
camp here tonight and save trouble,
Sbesides there's taters and onions in the
garden"
When the two had returned to their
canoe, Martin softly whistled to his
companions, and they also vanished
into the woods to hold consultation
when secure from discovery.
WAL" said old Cy. chuckling,
they've skinned us out o. a good
camping spot n now what's to be
done?"
1t was a poser, and Martin, seating
himself on a fallen tree trunk, stroked
his chin and reflected.
They'll light out IN the morning"
he said at last, land until then are
welcome to the hut. I've no use for
them. Think of brute in the shape
of a man who would knock a harmless
squirrel of his shoulder!"
: It'll be- dark fore we know it," as
serted old Cy, glancing into the shad-
oWy< forest, en- it's a good spell back
to the canoes. Mebbe we better push
on"
And push on they did. back to the
concealed canoes, and a camp for the
night. And later around the camp
fire consultation was held in earnest.
I'VE are here to find that hermit" as
serted Martin, after all surmises as to
his whereabouts had been exhausted,
land hunt for him we will until snow
flies"
"Amzi used to have the same trick
O. wanderin' OF fer days." responded
old Cy, unpointedly, en- he'll be back

Martin smiled the first time in hours.
'tYou seem sure it's Amzi," he said,
grateful for the assurance.
"Sartin do. n more'n that, he amt
dead ez callate your thinkin'; I'd feel
1t if he was" q
The campfire conference terminated
carly, for the Joss of sleep was felt by
all, and when, late the next morning
Martin crept out: of the tent. Levi and
one canoe were missing while Jean
was busy cooking breakfast.
It was eaten, and Martin was getting
