lJNREFRESHING SLEEP

The woman who is tired out, who
aches all over when she rises in the morn
ing, who feels depressed most of the
time, needs just the help that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills can give her-new blood
and stronger nerves.
The number of disorders that are caus-
ed by thin blood is amazing and most
women are careless about the condition
of their blood. Quickly the nerves are
affected and the patient becomes irrlt-
able, worries over trihes, does not sleep
as we'll as formerly and is not refreshed
by rest. There may or may not be
stomach trouble and headache. This is
a condition that calls for DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, the non alcoholic tonic.
Give DR.. Williams Pink Pills a trial
and the first sign of new life will be
noticed in your appetite. You will be
hungry by meal time. AS the blood be-
comes enriched it feeds and soothes the
irritated nerves, sleep becomes sounder
and more refreshing, your worries be-
come less, your work lighter. These are
some of the things that these tonic pills
do. Try them for any trouble caused by
thin blood.
The DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, N. Y, will mail free to any
woman the booklet "Plain Talks to
Women Your own druggist sells DR..
Williams Pink Pills.

would pick out some tree and curl up
on the ground close to the trunk.
Every day | would say, IN stick
it out just for today"
Twice along the trails / had come
upon the carcass of a deer. which in
each instance had evidently been killed
by wildcats. But in both cases the
skin was so badly decomposed that it
was impossible to use any of it.
A short time later passed the body
of deer still warm. A cat must have
killed it just as approached and was
possibly hiding near me in the thicket.
Here was an unexpected find. While
it was small deer. it offered some sort
of skin, and every bit would help me

it was nowhere to be seen.
Then | began to search for rocks
with which to skin the animal, aud

to work.
SHINING a deer is a very different
proposition from skinning a bear.
Breaking the skin is not so difficult,
and when once it is broken it peels
off very easily.
After completing the task ! cut of

out little longer, which l did before

creatures. | understood them because
| was living among them and had
lived among them before.
Whenever | CHANGED to come across
deer on one OF the trails that deer
knew instinctively the moment she saw
me whether or not had an idea OF
doing her harm. She understood me
very quickly, and | understood her
That is why the red deer and the lit
tie white fawn that came to my spring
every morning were such good friends
of mine
There isn't an animal in the forest
that doesn't want to make friends with
man.

woods so tame that two of them would

stood there dumb for second, then
turned and went back into the woods.
There peered through the trees and
watched the man go off TO the left and
disappear.
/ never caught another glimpse or
that man again until after had come
out of the forest He proved to be a
Maine guide. Afterward be told me
| was wild looking thing in my
bronze skin and scraggly beard.
After seeing that one human being
1T was worse for me than ever. How
much easier it was to find food. fire
and shelter than mental peace and
cOntentment.
Since getting my bearskin | had be-
come obsessed with the idea that the
game wardens We're on my trail. and |
worked myself up into bitter frame
of mind concerning them. But / want
to confine this particular phase of my
mental suffering to another chapter.
After seeing the man at the spring |
hurried back to my camp and made
quick preparation for getting out Of
that part of the country. | put every
thing had in my pack. including dried
berries, smoked fish and a quantity OF
smoked and dried meat. Then | rolled
up my bearskin, placed it on top Of
the load and started down the trail
Fearing that the man might tell peo-
pie be had seen me in that vicinity,
left note for visitors on a tree close
by the leantO announcing that should
not return there.
Then with my head down | walked
and walked for miles. | don't know
exactly where slept that night in the
forest, but ii was somewhere with my
back against a tree.
The next day | threw up a shelter
on the northwest side of Bear noun
tain, which | used as a sort of head
quarters for awhile.
Constantly being obliged to wage
battles with myself there in the wilder
ness has meant big things for me,
which keenlv realize now that it is
all over. 1t opened new line OF
thought | had never followed before.
Among other reflections alone in the
woods | thought how sympathy was
wasted out in the civilized world, espe-
cially in regard to the so called poorer
class 7 nn96n nm NV mind fhnf If iS
the middle class that suffers most
The middle class family that expert
ences reverses has a comparison Of
living-just as / had in the forest
which makes it harder to bear
Those who have known nothing but
poverty all their lives do not have this
comparison. for they never had any
thing to lose. Yet nine-tenths Of hu-
man sympathy goes their way simply
because the human being in cOmfOrta
BILE circumstances allows himself to
judge the man and woman living in
poverty from his own plane.
This thought led me on to admitting
that there is more real contentment
in some novels Of the very poor than
there is in some of the homes of the
wealthy.
If could have had just one human
companion in the wilderness | would
have been perfectly contented away
from the luxury of the world Human

CHAPTER VII.
Tanning a Bearskin.

~ N the morning the first thing
determined to do was to get
that skin into some sort OF
- condition. l laid it out on
some cedar logs and feshed it clean by
scraping it off with rocks and pulling
1t over the logs.
Next l took sheet of birch bark
and made water tight dish. Filling
this with water, threw in some small
pieces OF rotten wood and began to
steep it over the fire. A birch bark
dish will never burn below the water
line
When the mixture had stepped
enough spread the bear hide fat on
the ground with the hair side down
and poured the liquid from the birch
bark dish upon it. By repeating this
process several times the skin became
tanned to a certain extent
a thorough drying was needed now

proper distance apart, and, stretching
the skin as much as | could, | laced it
TO the slender trunks with cedar bark.

It pliable and soft
Off and on worked on that hide
for about three days. During those
days I walked back to the trap and
brought the remainder Of the meat to
my camp.
Tearing with the grain, ripped the
meat into strips with my hands, roast
ing some for immediate use and put
ting the rest in the smoke hole. l used
quantities Of dirty wood in this smok-
ing process, as could get up lot Of
smoke that way. This smoked meat
wasn't particularly pleasing to look at
but it would keep and was nourishing.
While this was not the first time 1
had ever trapped a bear in my life, it
was the first time had ever eaten any
of the meat.
