woods, his prowess and natural abil.
ity as a hunter and his knowledge of
woodcraft. A few days ago while
Cam was out after squirrels, he lost
his handsome gold watch with which
he would not willingly part for a
small fortune. He knew he had
the watch when he started in the
woods and he did not have it when
he came out He therefore turned
back upon his tracks, was successful
in tracking himself over his devious
meanderings, through his ability to
follow his own trail, and he found
his watch. 1t had fallen from his
pocket where he had stopped to pick
up a stick. Cam had covered a dis
lance of several miles in his hunt
and his feat in recovering his time
piece is regarded, even by himself,
as being something out of the ordi-
nary.
