27.-A Cosmopolitan News
Service reporter and a pho
tographer have returned to-
day from q visit to the Gar
den of Eden, where they
spent twenty-four hours as
the guests of Adam and Eve.
The Garden of Eden was hid
den deep in the Maine will
derness, where the winds
whine in a sing-song mono
tone through the spruce tops.
The adam and Eve" were
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Sutter,
who are staging the drama
of primitive life in the Maine
woods.
Lost in the Dark.
1t was with considerable qualms
that Adams invitation was ac-
cepted to remain overnight in the
love nest he has constructed from
fallen logs in the untracked forest
where he and his wife are living
without any of civilizations aids.
But the news sleuths were spurred
by a desire to learn just how the
Suffers are living.
So they logged along in Sut-
ter's wake, stumbling over fallen
logs and wallowing in boggy
places. The newspaper men were
completely lost save for the CLEAN
of Suffers naked body as a guide.
Nothing to Eat.
1t was nearly nightfall VIXEN they
reached the Suffers home.
They were hungry, and said So.
I'VE have nothing to eat" said
Mr.. Sutter; "Ill have to go out and
get something"
Mr.. Sutter set forth with a long
club and the two guests stumbled
along behind. He cruised about
throughout the underbrush with
the club gripped securely m his right
hand. the light OF hunger cleaning
in his eyes. Suddenly he waved his
hand for silence.

his feet and with one mighty
swipe knocked the birds head off.
It was q triumphal march the
party made back to the love nest

renewed her offer Of 800 fof

bird with heartfelt thanks. Sutter

That partridge was pluckcd TO

There were no side dishes and no

The roar Of a bull moose and the

sleep difficult.
The sun was just peeping through
the trees when Sutter came out Of
his hut. In his hand was his fishing
apparatus-a forked stick. His flesh
was blue from the cold. The two
guests were shivering in spite OF
heavy woolen shirts and overcoats.
They followed Sutter to the nearby
brook with their mouths watering for
trout. Sutter waded to the middle OF
the lev water and stood like a marble
statue with his stick poised in his
hand. A dozen times he plunged it
into froth at the bottom Of big
rock, fruitlessly. The thirteenth time
