from year TO year, according to his age.

and winter.

mere guesswork.
In this case the previous winter had been
hard, the summer cold and raw. and
though this bull had carried a spread the
previous season Of we'll over 10 inches
the spread he now carried, though massive
and beautifully pointed. was not moro
than e5 inches at the most.
Luke had left his rule at. the camp
while changing some damp clothes and
therefore. though the libee Of his face
bespoke disappointment, he hoped for
the best, severed the head at the first
Joint back Of the cara and then leaving
the old Indian TO remove the rest Of the
scalp he struck of for camp for his tobog-
gan.
II the old Indian had experienced any
sensation bordering on disappointment
as he viewed the head nothing Of 1t showed
in his gun metal eyes or parched lips.
Quietly he had helped to turn the
antlers as Luke swiftly worked and 1t
seemed that more than once he looked up
impatientiy al his companion and hen at
the steamingcarcass.
The minute Luke vanished through the
trees old Peter became all activity.
The first thing he did was to out and
trim a young birch and shorten It to some
six feet and n half. or as near as he could
giess.
Newt he collected all the dead wood he
could find and piled on a roaring fire.
The instant the scalp was removed from
the head he raised the skull and antlers
and. holding the outside Of one Of the
pans Of the latter az close to the heat as
he dared, patiently awaited results.
Very slowly the angle OF the antler
began to straighteD out till finally IL
met with his approval. Then he reversed
the position of the head. piled on more
wood, Strengthened the other pan Of the
a~ntlers. sprung the birch pole in between
the now widened antlers and set the head
to n side to cool.
The shooting. OF that moose furnished
material for press dispatches. Every
sporting magazine discussed it's capture.
Roland Ward revised his list Of records.
The photograph Of the mounted head was
distributed broadcast. Luke Bedding was
made al a guide.
On the first 81 December he burned q
much betagged document and left for
the Sportsman's Show. where he wa the
chief attraction.
To-day he never pauses below those
now memorable falls without wondering
how Old Peter ever managed to get those
antlers blackened g the fire that
November day when he left him to start
back to the Third Camp for a toboggan.
Some day perhaps Peter will tell him.

All things considered Abraham Peter
was q @wuthless Injun.' Yet he never
had a chance.
He had been one OF a litter OF dirty
brown Micmacs who inhabited Whis-
pering River away back in the COS.
When but IL years old they had given
him a little Indian meal, an old smooth
bore, some dried moose meat and sent
him on a 100 mile tramp on the round OF
traps his shiftiess parent had strung out
from Crooked Deadwater to Quincy
Falls. Somewhere on that $50 mile trip he
would meet the other members OF his
family. Sometimes for a whole fortnight
he never saw a human being.
He lived on the meat Of the beaver. his
scapty supply Of tea and meal. and occa-
sionally. when ~beleagured by a two days
storm, fed his small body with the red
inner bark Of the birch; but always he
kept on.
BY the time he had reached his full
growth that we'll remembered demand
for moose hides had set In.
Day after day did his shoulders ache
as he trudged silently or beneath his
share OF green hides.
At other times he nearly froze, as with
two tiny frs. sharpened at the butts, In
each hand. and the old smoothbore over
