Verify Old Cy had the wisdom of
age and the cheerfulness of morning

All that day these wilderness-ma-
rooned friends worked hard. An am
pie stock of birch wood must be cut
and split, shed of poles to cover it
must be erected alongside of the cabin,
the hermit's log hut was to be divest-
ed of its fittings, which were to be re-
moved to the new cabin which all were
now to occupy.
Realizing how vital to their exist
ence the canoes were, Old Cy had also
planned a shelter of small logs for
them on one side of the log cabin, that
could be locked. Here the canoes not
in use must be stored at once to guard
against a night call from the malig-
nant half-breed. His canoe had been
taken along by Martins party, to be
left at Tins Place. for even Hersey
would have scorned to appropriate it.
There were dozens of other needs to
prepare for during the next two
months, all of which were important

In this connection. also, another
need occurred to Old Cy. Trout could
be caught all winter in the lake, but
live bait must be had. and so a slat
car to be sunk in some swift-running
stream, which would hold them, must
be constructed. also a scoop Of mos
quito net to catch them. These min
nows were to be found now by the
million in every brook. and forethought
was Old Cy's watchword.
All these duties and details he dis
cussed that first day with Ray. while
they worked, for purpose.
But the first evening here. with its
open fire. yet empty seats, was the
hardest to pass. In vain Old Cy en-
larged upon the joys OF tiap-setting
once more. and how and where they
were to secure gum. In vain he de-
scribed how deadfalls were built and
where they must be placed. how many
signs OF lynx and wildcat he had seen
that summer. and how sure they were
TO secure some of these valuable furs.
