the edge of the willow-thicket. The

water. In a minute l heard a slight

rods, and then turned in among the
willows, to reach the brook where it
again bent back towards me-. The
splashing in the water. and the rustling
of the moose's body against the frozen
twigs, drowned the little noise made by
my moccasined feet.
I strobe out on the bank at the lower
end of a long narrow pool of water,
dark and half frozen. In this pool. half
way down and facing me, but a score
of yards off, stood the mighty marsh
beast, strange and uncouth in look as
some monster surviving over from the
Pliocene. His vast bulk doomed black
and vague in the dim gray dawn; his
huge antlers stood out sharply: col
umns of steam rose from his nostrils.
For several seconds he fronted me mo.

to struggle. The ball had gone through

lrbrush and dead timber, and covered
18th a carpet of thick moss, in which
he feet sank noiselessly. Then we
came to another beaver-meadow, which
offered fine feed for the ponies. On
Its edge we hastily pitched camp, just
at dusk. We tossed down the packs
In a dry grove, close to the brook, and
turned the tired ponies loose in the
meadow, hobbling the little mare that
carried the bell. The ground was
smooth. We threw a cross-pole from
one to the other of two young spruces,
which happened to stand handily, and
from 1t stretched and pegged out q
piece of canvas, which we were using
as a shelter tent. Beneath this we
spread our bedding, laying under 1t the
canvas sheets In which 1t had been
wrapped. There was still bread left
over from yesterdays baking, and In
a few moments the kettle was boiling,
and the frying-pan sizzling. while one
of us skinned and cut INTO suitable
pieces two grouse we had knocked
over on our march. For fear of fright
ening the moose we built but a small
fire. and went to bed soon after sup
per, being both tired and cold. For
~tunately, what little breeze there was
blew up the valley.
At dawn l was awake, and crawled

yawning. My companion still slum-
bered heavily. White frost covered
whatever had been left outside. The
cold was sharp. and hurriedly slipped

drew on my gloves and cap, and
started through the ghostly woods for
the meadow where we had seen the
moose sign. The tufts of grass were
stiff with frost; black ice skinned the
edges and quiet places of the little
brook.
l walked slowly, 1t being difficult not
to make a noise by cracking sticks or
brushing against trees, in the gloom;
but the forest was SO open that 1t IA
yored me. When / reached the edge
of the beaver-meadow it was light
enough to shoot, though the front sight
still glimmered indistinctly. Streaks
of cold red showed that the sun would
rise soon.
Before leaving the shelter of the last
spruces l halted to listen; and almost

sound from the middle of the meadow.
where the brook broadened into small
willow-bordered pools. l knew at
once that a moose was In n of these
pools, wading about and pulling up the
water-lilies by Selling their slippery
stems In his lips, plunging his head
deep under water to do SO. The moose

by making a trial with my old hunting
friend Willis. We speedily found a
country where there We're moose. but
of the animals themselves we never
caught a glimpse.
The moose which lived In isolated.
exposed localities were speedily killed
or driven away after the incoming set
tiers; and at the time that we hunted
we found no sign of them until we
reached the region of continuous forest.
Here, in a fortnight's hunting, We
found as much sign as we wished. and
plenty of 1t fresh; but the animals
themselves we not only never saw. blu
we never so much as heard. Often aft
er hours of careful still hunting or eau
tious tracking, we found the footprints
deep In the soft earth. showing where
our quarry had winded or heard us,
and had noiselessly slipped away from
the danger. | began to think that this
moose-hunt, like all my former ones.
was doomed to end in failure.
However, a few days later | met a
grabbed old trapper named Hank Grif-
fin, who was going after beaver in the
mountains, and who told me that If !
would come with him he would show
me moose. l jumped at the chance,
and he proved as good as his word;
though for the first two trials my Ill
luck did not change.
At the time that 1t finally did change
we had at last reached a place where
the moose were on favorable ground.
A high. marshy valley stretched for
several miles between two rows of
stony mountains. clad with a forest of
rather small ir-trees. This valley was
covered with reeds, alders, and rank
grass, and studded with little willow
bordered ponds and island-like clumps
of spruce and graceful tamaracks.
Having surveyed the ground and
found. moose sign the preceding after
noon. we were up betimes in the cool
morning to begin our hunt. Before
sunrise we were posted on a rocky
spur of the foothills. behind a mask
of evergreens; ourselves unseen we
overlooked all the valley, and we knew
we could see any animal which might

ing ground to its day-bed.
AS it grew lighter we scanned the
valley with increasing care and eager
ness. The sun rose behind US; and al
most as soon as it was up we made out
some large beast moving among the
dwarf willows beside a little lake half
a mile In our front. In a few minutes
the thing walked out where the bushes
were thinner. and we saw that 1t was
a young bull moose browsing on the
willow tops. He had evidently nearly
finished his breakfast, and he stood
idly for soiN, moments. now and then
lazily cropping a mouthful of twig tips.
Then he walked off with great strides

Mr.. Alexander Withdraws.

In a card in this paper will be found
the withdrawal of Sam S. Alexander as
a candidate for Mayor of Union City.
Mr.. Alexander states that continued i'll
ness has made it impractical for him to
make the canvass, and hence he takes
this opportunity of so informing his
friends. Mr.. Alexander is one of our
best citizens, and many regret that he is
forced to take this step, not only for the
fact he cannot represent their views in
the City Council, but that they are to
forego the privilege and pleasure of
giving him their support.
