Until within Z couple Of days OF
turning our faces back towards the

we began to be fearful lest we should

our shoes had been cut to ribbons By

was destined to be rewarded.

expense Of scraped hands and bruised

stream, intending to come down tho
other; for the forest belt was narrow
enough to hunt thoroughly. For two
or three hours we toiled through dense
growth.
Then we came to spur OF open
hemlock forest: and no sooner had we
entered It than the hunter stopped and
pointed exuitingiy to a well-marked
game trail. in which 1t was easy at
glance to discern the great round foot
prints OF our quarry. We hunted care

sides: and we came to where another
stream entered the one we were follow
ing. A high. steep shoulder between
the two vallyes was covered with an
open growth Of great hemlock timber,
ana in this we again found the trails
and beds plentiful. There was. no
breeze. and after beating through the
forest nearly to its upper edge. we be-
gan to 60 down the ridge, or point of
