"AERE is THE TRAIL"
Signs Used by Indian Tribes and
White Hunters,

First among the trail signs that are
used by Indians and white hunters
and most likely to be of use to the
traveller, says a writer in Country Life
In America, are ak blazes on tree
trunks. These may vary greatly with
locality, but there Is one everywhere in
use with scarcely any variation. This
Is simply the white spot nicked off by
knife or AK and meaning, Here Is the
trail"
The Ojibways and other woodland
tribes use twigs for a great many
signs. The hanging broken twig, like
the simple blaze, means, This is the
trail h twig clean broken off and
laid on the ground across the line
OF march means, Break from your
straight course and go in the line Of the
butt end" and when an especial warn
ing is meant the butt is pointed toward
the M following the trail and raised
somewhat In a forked twig. II the butt
OF the twig were raised and pointing to
the left it would mean, Look out,
camp" or yourselves or the enemy or
the game we have killed Is out that
way"
The old buffalo hunters had an estab-
lished signal that Is vet used by noun.
tain guides. 1t is as follows:
Two shots in rapid succession, an in
terval of five seconds by the watch,
then one shot, means, Where are you?"
The answer, given at once and exactly
the same, means: Here l am. What
DO you want"' The reply to this may
be one shot, which means, "All right; I
only wanted to know where you were"
But If the reply repeats the first it
means: II am in serious trouble. Come
as fast as you can"
