Echo Lake is one of the prettiest sheets of
water l ever saw, two miles long, one mile
broad and hemmed in on all sides by sloping
hills, timbered with spruce and pine.
In the very centre is little island, not
more. than fifteen or twenty yards in diameter,
and here jim and l built small cabin half
a dozen years ago.
Every winter, as soon as the snow was on
the ground, we would tramp to Echo Lake,
dragging our sled behind us; and there we
would remain for several weeks fishing for
pickerel through the ice and hunting the
various kinds OF game that were to be found
in the vicinity
The cabin was snug and warm, with hunks
to make us comfortable.
Those trips were something to look forward
to. through the whole year, and I remember
what high spirits we were In the last time we
started away from the village
1t was bright December morning. and the
snow was crusted so hard that it bore our
weight readily, while the sled, loaded with
the guns, blankets and provisions, seemed to
move of its own accord.
1t was good twenty tramp, but the
sun was still some distance above the hori-
zon when we reached the last intervening hill
top and saw the ice-bound surface of Echo
Lake spread before us.
Half an hour later we reached the island.
The cabin door was standing ajar; but every
think appeared the same as usual inside, and
we did not give the circumstance second
thought.
A roaring blaze was soon shooting up the
big fireplace, and the room grew odorous with
fried potatoes and crisp slices of bacon
We were ravenously hungry that evening,
and thoroughly worn out too, for we slept
soundly in. our hunks until the sun was
streaming in the one little window of the
cabin.
jim was absent all day in the neighboring
hills, and about the middle of the afternoon
he returned, with two pheasants and three
brace of plump quail. In the meantime |

right in front Of the cabin, and caught fair
sized string of beautiful fish,
