Passing Of the Trapper.
From the Kennebec JournaI.)

The forward march of civilization
has reached the wiIds of the Canadian
north and trappers report that their
business is rapidly becoming unproft-
able on account of the frequency OF
the settlements. That state of affairs
is to be expected and the wonder is
that the situation has not become
more acute long ago. 1t is remark
able that the business has continued
profitable.
History has repeated itself in this
as in all other things. The advance
guard of civilization was years behind
a class of hardy trappers who earned
their livelihood in the solitude of tie
forests by taking animals for their
furs. AS civilization advanced the
number of trappers became larger and
the amount of game diminished until
there was no longer profit to be had
from the business.
1t began with Maine and Massa-
chusetts and continued to the west

longer tenable for the trapper. The
Hudson Bay Company preserved the
frozen north of Canada for half CEN
tury after the United States had
ceased to be profitable hunting
ground, but the onward march of the
railroads end the ever restless wave OF
homeseekers has at last advanced to
the very outposts of the Hudson Bay
territory. Gold and wheat have been
the lodestones and the trapping busi-
ness suffers.
Where will we get our furs in the
futufVq We will raise them. For
farming, skunk farming, cat farming
and the hundred and one other kinds
of animal raising will take the place
of the trapper and his gun. Other
fur bearing animals will soon be
taught to eat out of the hand Of
man lust as the domestic animals of
thefarm have beendoing for centuries.
Man will simply enlarge his control
of the lower animals, enlarge his con-
troll over the fur bearing as we'll as

The dog stood a dozen yards away,
trembling from weakness caused by
his wounds-stood at the edge of the
tumbling waters and looked overthem

self to Blake.
THE ropes The ropes |" he
cried.
With feverish haste he removed his
own rope from his shoulder and
snatched the coil Reynolds was car
rying. Quickly he spliced the two
together and started toward Jim.
Reynolds sprang in the way.
What are you doing 2"
Patterson is beyond human aid, "
shouted Blake. IF he is to be saved
at all the dog must do it p
NO |" roared Reynolds. THE
dog is badly hurt he might get over
to Patterson, but he'd never live to
get back. We need him to lead us to
that mine
A furious oath tore through Blake's
lips. He struck REYNOLDS out of the
way with his clenched fist, sprang at
Jim, and tied one end of the Spliced
rope about his neck.
Call him, Patterson; call him !"
In the roar of the tempest the words
did not carry half way across the
gulch. Patterson, however, had seen
and understood.
Here, jim Here, Jim T.
Up to his knees in water, clinging
wildly to the face of the cliff, Patter-
son, for the first time, called to the
outcast. The wind caught and scat
tered the feebled words, but brute
senses are keen. Jim heard and
dragged his manned body into the
rushing tide. He was lifted, engulfed
and lifted again, flung against the
sharp rocks and hurled hither and
thither, yet foot by foot he fought his
way onward. The man for whose
friendship he had yearned and strug-
gled was calling him, and that was
enough.
And success crowned his efforts.
He reached the foreman's side. Pat
terson lashed the rope about his waist
took his rescuer in his arms, and to-
gether they breasted the food. Rey-
nolds was now himself again, and fell
to. with Blake at the other end of the
rope.
Half dead but still clutching the
coyote dog, Patterson was dragged to
safety. When he regained his senses
his first inquiry was for Jim The
dog was barely alive. Patterson
dropped down beside him, patted his
ugly head, touched lightly the rough
scars made by the venomous pack
and the equally merciless torrent. A
litter was improvised from two sticks
and coat, and Patterson and Blake
carried the almost martyr pariah as
tenderly as they would have handled
a sleeping infant. The miraculous
strength of the dogs constitution
again brought him back to health,
though slowly, and he grew to great
age in exceeding peace, the ever
honored guest of Patterson's rough
cabin.
