anticipated considerable sport, and we were
not entirely disappointed.
The Duke was assisted into Toms canoe,
and pushed out on the river with paddle
in his hands.
The rascal had never seen the inside OF a
canoe before, l am sure; but he managed to
keep his balance eleverly enough, and, though
his actions were laughable, he did not upset
once
Fifteen minutes practice made him quite
expert, and he padded proudly back to shore;
-"Quite 'omelike that little ride seemed,
he remarked, laughingly, as we assisted him
to his feet
"Im deeply obliged to you, gents, for your
kind attention. Come, Bristles, we must be
movin' along. Our trunks is waitin on US
down at the next town."
The Duke nodded cheerily, and then strobe
up the slope, with his ragged coat-talis flap
ping behind him. Bristles followed more
slowly, but at last both vanished over the
crest
We all drew long breath of relief.

Of bread left, and hardly any crackers or

lated TO the Duke of Wellington asked
Jack, nnocently.
Tom and / laughed so much at this that
we could hardly talk, and Jack retired in
dignantly to the tent.
The spot we had chosen. for camp was so
for fish that we concluded to spend the fol-
lowing day there.
The Susquehanna formed kind Of lake at
this point, for the shores curved inward. a
quarter of a mile below, the river narrowed
and poured through rocky gorge with high
mountains on each side. ~.
We were too tired to do much fishing that
afternoon, for we had padded great many
miles in the last few days. Tom. caught US
enough bass to make supper, though, ana
as soon as darkness came on we liked up the
camp and turned In.
1t never once occurred to us that the
tramps might return, for, with the aid OF a
pair of field glasses that always carried on
outing trips had seen them crossing heio
more than mile away from the camp.
We carried the canoes some distance up
the bank and took all our property into the
tent. The flaps were tied loosely to the front
pole, and almost as soon as the lamp was OUT
we were asleep.
/ had a more than usually happy dream
that night / was fishing from a. ledge OF

citedly. sThere's something. wrong outside"

drank cup after cup Of coffee, until the pot

The Duke chatted gaily during the meal,
and put on as many airs as though he were
the host and we were only his invited guests;
hut Bristles ate in dogged silence, gancing
from time to time at the open tent and the
canoes spread out on the shore.
When their appetites were finally appeased,
our stock of provisions had reached low ebb.
