Just why did go to Canada instead
of emerging from the forest on Amer
lean soil? This question has interested
hundreds since my return to civiliza-
ton, but until now have never gone
into details of the whole story.

one or to show bitterness, and in tell
ing the plain facts about this trip

they were.
/ want to go back a little into the
history of the affair to the time just
before | entered the woods. At that
time. while was in Boston. applied
through friends to the fish and game
commission of the state of Maine for
permit to catch or kill what game
might need in carrying out my expert
ment. These friends explained that /
would pay all fines for the killing Of
such animals when | came from the
forest.
For q time the commissioners ignor
ed the application. and when they did
reply it was to state that it would be
impossible to grant my request.
In the meantime | had discovered
that section II of the Maine fish and
game laws made it possible for such a
permit to be granted-namely, that the
commissioners had right to allow
game and fish to be obtained for scien-
tific purposes at any time.
On the strength of this | applied.
again to the commissioners about ten
days later. laying stress on that sec
ton of the law and also mentioning
the fact that noted men were indOrs

story:

Andrew Douglas and | were discussing
good shots and lucky days at hunting.
| said to Andrew:
Andrew. what is the luckiest hunt
ing stunt you ever pulled OFF,"

his face. ''it was back in the old days
of the muzzle loading gun. One day |

down the bank of a stream and after
awhile scared up a flock. which rose
from the water and lit on the limb of

make a clean sweep of them all, but
couldn't seem to do it. So went IN

the center of the limb on which the
ducks sat.
''Of course as the bullet sped through
it split the limb. but before the ducks

bodies of animals. together with hun
dreds OF fish.
Here again is another thing man
can do in the woods without aid or ma
terial from the outside world. Assum-
ing that | was naked and without
tools. as | was during my two months
in the wilderness and desired to do
some of this work, / would first catch
a fish in the manner | have previously
described. Using the same process
that | did with the bear and the deer.
| would remove the skin with sharp
rocks. Next would find large splin-
ter from a broken down tree, wide
enough for a panel background. In
order to catch all the high lights and
make the fish appear natural | would
shape the splintered wood to an oval
by placing it under water and grind
ing it down with a rock. A man can
take any piece of wood and under wa
ter grind it to any shape he wants.
When this oval background was ready
| would stick the skin on with the nat
ural glue of the fish. In spite of the
fact that | had used no instruments
from the outside world the observer,
could not tell the difference between
the mounted specimen and trout
fresh from the water at distance of
ten feet.
In emphasizing my point about the
artist who lacks the practical, rough
side OF forest life not being able to
give the true touch to his pictures l
want 10 tell a short story about the
best natured man ever met. Unlike
the gentlemen of art who come into
the woods to observe under the most
luxurious conditions. he was satisfied
with anything that happened to be on
hand. While he had plenty of money
ana paId me we'll TOR guiding bin, he
never complained. If he had but lit
tie to eat be would say the food was
good. If it rained he never COM
planned.
One day after one of the. hardest
tramps | had ever taken we arrived
at one Of my camps which | had not
seen for over a year. 1t was long aft
err dark, and we had no time to gather
fir boughs for a bed. Inside the camp
were two hunks, one above the other.
No boughs were in them, nothing but
the rough hard boards.
''Well. Frank" | said, (which bunk
do you want?'
"Any one." he answered in his GUS
tomary manner.
"You better take the lower one" |
said. because if you happen to fall
out you won't have SO far to fall
"All right" he said. and we turned
in, be taking the lower berth and |
climbing up to the one above. The
beds were as hard as rocks.
Some time later | was awakened by
q noise. | looked out over my bunk
and saw Frank sitting on the side of
the one below with his head in his
hands.

CHAPTER XVI.



I'll HE use of the camera in the
woods is one interesting phase
of art | have used the cam
era in many ways to get mega
tives of animals in their native haunts.
In a preceding chapter l have spoken
of the jacklight method, but l have
not mentioned how at various times
during my career in the woods l have
made animals take pictures of them
selves.
In these instances | set my camera
on trail and laid string attached to
the shutter across the trail. The cam
era had been focused on the spot where
the oncOmiDg deer or other animal
would walk against the string. The
creature wandering along presses the
string, releasing the shutter, and you
have your negative. 1t doesn't matter
what kind Of an animal comes along.
If it happens to be a man you will
have his picture just the same.
In order to get negatives of the
smaller animals a different method is
used. Bait is employed. The camera
is set at night. and a string is extend
ed from the machine to q tree The
string bangles bait just above the
ground, so that when the coon or other
small animal comes TO get it it has to
rise up and pull hard, This pull re-
leases tashlight. and the negative Is
made
This same simple method is used in
making animals shoot themselves with
