FLY FISHING AS A
No. I
ART
By Herbert L. Jillson
ABOVE and beyond all fly fishing, now at its best, holds its admirers captive and makes new converts, because it is, in all truth, both in char- acter and environment, the "sport ideal ;" because it constantly leaves something to be attained ; because the successful fly fisherman must be creative. It is not fishing in the general acceptance of the word, but sf>ort which is constantly opening up greater possi- bilities, and in which success is depend- ent not only upon skill and experience, but constant study and keen observation. Trout there are for all, but they grade upward in numbers and weight, accord- ing to the pozvcr of the angler. The bucket shop easily gathers in the few hundreds that the small fry have to squander, but it takes Wall Street to land the millions of the big fellows, and fly fishing as an art, is no exception to the general rule. It is not the working of a bunco scheme, but the presentation of a straight business proposition which must stand rigid examination by those who know. It is not a question of let- ting the trout in on the ground floor — the knowing ones will invariably "take the elevator to the roof" — but of demon- stration in such a way that there is no reasonable chance for doubt, and to do this the fisherman must know his clien- tele.
The fly fisherman is dealing with a fellow who knows his business ; who is keen, alert, wiley, experienced, and, in
tliis connection, should be emphasized the keenness of perception of the trout — his most striking characteristic — which combined with his great beauty and table excellence, make him, unques- tionably. King of all inland fresh water game fish. The black bass is far more dogged and determined a fighter, and his vicious leap into the air is thrill- ing, but is dull in distinguishing between natural and artificial flies. The land- locked salmon is the prettiest and gam- iest of fresh water fighters, but he does not rise readily to the fly, not naturally being a surface feeder, and when he does, as with the bass, there is ample time to strike.
But not so with the trout. The moment he takes the artificial fly between his lips, just that moment he knows that he has been deceived and discards it, and the time which the fish- erman has to fix the hook is but the fraction of a second, at the moment the trout breaks. A fraction of a second later may be too late. And in addi- tion to this, no matter how attractive or seductive the lure, it must do things in a natural, rational way, and it is, per- haps, needless to add that the angler should not appear in connection with the transaction.
When you find a monster rising from time to time near a bunch of lily pads at the inlet of the pond, study him care- fully. You will soon discover that he only rises at rare occasions, usually once or twice at early morning or late even-
ing. These big fellows take but little surface food and merely as an appe- tizer or, perhaps, for the sake of old association or habit, and they are, in consequence, exceedingly fussy about what they take and how they take it.
Next find out what the big trout is taking and"how that fly alights, and then make up your cast with a fly which, at least, suggests the morsel of which the big trout is fond. Then try for him, and try early, try late, and try often; just a few fifty-foot casts at the proper time and in the proper ivay. More if you wish, but half a dozen, at most, will suf- fice, for, in fact, you might as well reel in after the third cast if there has not been a response, for if the first cast is right, and the fish is ready, the problem is solved. Above all be careful not to hook and lose the fish, for if you do you will have to wait until another year and then find him more difficult to take than ever before.
If you are fishing in quick or running water, the flies must be cast above and allowed to float down naturally and with the current, past the retreat of the big trout. Experience has taught them that nature sends food in this way, and either intuition or caution, makes it utterly out of the question for them to even consider flies which dart upwards against the swift current, zig-zag strangely across it, or do other impossi- ble things. When fishing for trout lying at the mouth of a cold stream emptying into a lake or river, cast up into the stream and draw the flies down slowly.
If you find a bunch of big fellows lying beside the shore, underneath over- hanging branches, and rising from time to time, watch carefully, and you will see that they are feeding on insects which first light upon the bushes and then fall into the water. If you would lure them forth, make your cast do what the real flies are doing ; light upon the bushes, rest there for a moment, and then drop gently to the surface of the water. If you do not believe such care is necessary, experiment a bit.
Generally speaking, a cast sliould
aliglit delicately upon the water and be drawn slowly in, keeping the flies upon the surface. This is the "dry" fly and is the usual cast when trout are rising. When the fish are not rising well, the "wet" fly may be resorted to ; a cast drawn very slowly along an inch or so under the water. These are ordinary casts but the exceptions already noted are not the only ones, and when to observe them is a matter of judgment.
For instance, when the natural flies alight heavily and flutter vigorously, let your flies do the same. When millers are numerous, alighting to rest for only a fraction of a second, and then flutter- ing on to alight again, try the trick with your cast. Imitate the hopping fly when it is about; the insect which jumps up and down at one point. Have a few flies tied backwards, that is with the "head" at the bend of the hook, and, at times, the unusual actions which resist- ance to the water causes this fly to make, will prove positively irresistible ; but never try to imitate the sluggish June or "trout fly" which lights upon the water and waits patiently for tlie trout to gather him in.
When this fellow is plentiful, hang up your rod and climb a mountain or visit a deer pond, or rather make up your mind to fish and be satisfied with small creels. These insects come annually in great numbers, but, fortunately, last but a short time, and while they invariably spoil the fishing, they demonstrate very clearly the truth of what has already been said. These flies literally glue themselves to the water and it takes the wily trout but a very short time to dis- cover that there is no occasion for haste, and when they reach this condition of mind, the artificial fly is useless.
As a matter of experiment, I even went so far as to tie up a number of llies which were perfect replicas of the June fly, but they were useless. Then I wound them with cork bodies and weighted the tips so that they would sit upright on the water, exactly like the real fly. The trout saw them to be sure, l)ut a moment's examination was enough.

They did not even take the trouble to take bold of tbem.
Remember also, that there will be times when the trout are not rising freely, for all fishing, and fly fishing in particular, is dependent upon conditions. It is keenly amusing to see the number of these tilings the enthusiastic novice, thinking that trout may be taken any- where and any time, will run up against in the shape of water too high or too low, too cold or too warm, too still or too rough ; working water or muddy water, days too dark or too bright, and no end of complications as to the earli- ness or lateness of the season, the direc- tion of the wind, and the fullness of the moon ! The Maine guide has a fertile imagination in this particular and he usually finds ready listeners. Never- theless, if the angler goes to the right place he may rest assured that the trout are there, and if he fishes patiently and well, he will sooner or later be convinced and the memory of one day's catch will linger forever after.
Fly casting is in itself, easy to acquire, merely a quick motion of the wrist and forearm, not the entire arm. See that the flies are well up on the surface of the water and that the rod is at an angle of about forty-five degrees, and then whip the rod back to a position at the same angle, in the rear of the body, give the line a second or so to straighten out (the time required depending on the length of the cast) and then whip the rod forward to the same angle again, letting the line straighten out some feet above the water, and fall gently and naturally to the surface. Theoretically the "swing" of the for- ward and back cast should be the same. The trick can be learned by the use of a cast made up of barbless flies (the barbs being removed to prevent their catch- ing) upon any lawn, as well as water. Distance comes from practice after acquiring the knack of handling a short line. Do not attempt to handle too much line at first.
The strike requires long practice and excellent self-control ; it must be quick,
but not severe. Too much force will cither tear the hook from the mouth of the fish or weaken the hold, and as for too little, well, it's an exception which proves that anglers invariably strike too hard. If you wish to see how very lit- tle force is necessary to set a hook, try it on the fleshy part of the thumb, but don't try too hard !
Strict attention is necessary at all times. Always remember that the big fish usually come when you least expect them, and concentrate your mind upon the flies. Don't whip a single spot too much, cast in a circle or semi-circle ; three or four casts in a place. When trout are rising freely, cover the rises, or if it is evident that they are moving in a certain direction, cast a trifle ahead of where they break. When fishing from a lake shore for trout in distant deep water, cover the rises and draw slowly in. Have the next cast a bit shorter and so on, and the chances are that the trout will be taken at about the tenth cast, having followed the flies in, carefully investigating all the while.
When you have the trout hooked, don't hurry. There is all the time in the world, and there are other trout in the lake if you lose that one. Keep the line taut, the fish under water and grad- ually lead, but do not force , to the net.
There are a hundred or so different kinds of trout flies in existence and many of them good, but a dozen differ- ent varieties will suffice the practical needs of any angler. The Parmachee- nee Belle is a prime favorite, tied to imi- tate the belly fins of the trout ; and the jMontreal Silver Doctor, Professor, Queen of the Water, Jock Scott, and the silk bodied Brown and Gray Hackles are indispensable. Add the Scarlet Ibis, White Miller, Yellow May, Black Gnat, Cow Dung and Jungle Cock Coachman and your variety will be ample. Numbers six and eight hooks are a good all-round size.
Use six foot single gut leaders, and not more than two flies — one will usu- ally do — unless you are fishing little fel- lows, and then you may go the limit,

three. Remember, however, that two flies can be handled better than three, and one better than two. Plain silk line casts better than enamel or water proof, but is not as easily cared for.
Split bamboo is the only all-around fly rod, and four ounces in weight is enough ; the less weight you have, the more skill is required, and the greater will be the fight the fish makes. A good rod cannot be bought for less than ten or fifteen dollars, and even thirty dol- lars can be invested to advantage by anyone who fishes much. The reel should balance the rod. A landing net is advisable, but a rough gaff may be made by fastening a cod hook, or a bent and sharpened piece of wire to the end of a stick. This will save carrying a net to a wilderness pond, if the angler is "going light," but is by no means as sure as the net. A pair of pocket scales will give one facts to talk about.
"Where to go?" Oh, get some fly fisher friend to tell you, but in any event go to the wilderness. Strike out for yourself with guide, tent and canoe, make your headquarters at some one of the many "sporting camps" which dot the forest, if you must; but spend at least a part of your days in seeking out inaccessible ponds, and a part of your nights in the bough lean-to, falling to sleep with the cool, damp air on your forehead, and the weird sounds of the forest in your ears !
FAST PULLMAN SERVICE
Hot New York and Cool Maine are Brought Close Together
The through New York train service of the Maine Central Railroad to North- WARD-Ho! territory brings cool Maine nearer to hot New York than ever before in history, several hours being clipped off the running time between Moosehead Lake by the new Somerset railway extension to Kineo Station, and the Rumford Falls extension from Bemis to Oquossoc and other Rangeley Lake points.
One night only is required, the through sleeper leaving New York at 8 p.m., arriving at Poland Spring Junction ( Danville) at 7.40, Belgrade at 8.58, and Kineo at i p.m. ; changing at Portland for the Rangeley Lakes, via the Rumford Falls line, Oquossoc is reached at i p.m.
Return service is equally rapid, and the day trains from Boston to the points named make the run in from four to nine hours.
Nobody Works Up This 'Way
Nobody works up this way. They all come here to fish; To cast bright flies of feather With many a swirl and swish.
Some fish for gamey salmon. Others the wiley trout; Nobody works up this way — They are here to cut work out.

MANY CHANGES AT KINEO
W^inter One of Transformation, Marking New Era of Progress for Point and Section
1
tHE WINTER has been one of transformation at Kineo, the most conspicuous improvement feature being the removal of the old guide house as a location for the proposed new \acht Club building which enthusi- astic power boat owners contemplate building during the coming summer at a cost of $10,000. Close at hand a 250- foot breakwater, laid at a cost of $3,500, extends out into the lake shutting off the heavy southerly surf from a twenty-two mile sweep, and giving an ideal harbor for large and small craft.
Elsewhere about the Point and the Lake is evidence of awakening, of a new era of activity and progress, and largely as a result of the coming of the new railroad through the Somerset exten- sion, or what tourists will for all time, know as the "Kineo Short Line." Two hours in running time is a great saving in this age when time is money, and it brings Kineo into close communication, through direct service and through cars, with the Metropolis and other large cities from which the bulk of visitors come.
Here and there new cottages are going up and new camps are being built, and directly across the lake, but half a mile away, where barely more than a year ago was a wilderness forest peninsular known as Birch Point, there is now a thriving settlement, and the shriek of locomotive and the bellow of steamboat, awake forest echoes which have hitherto remained undisturbed since Creation.
To be sure Kineo has lost something — it is no longer in the "wilderness" — but it has gained much. It is in close touch with the throbbing world upon which it counts for support and to wdiich it looks for future growth, and it takes front rank with the country's best known
and most accessible summer resorts. There is still the wilderness in every meaning of the word, but wilderness no more in a hteral sense, because it is easy of access, and accessible, will be more and more appreciated.
You may hear a nnu'nnn- of sadness now and then from those who loved Birch Point and the wild, strange beauty it gave the place, but all must real- ize that History for the Point and the Lake begins with the coming of the road. Just a few years more now and the shores of "Brooklyn," across the cove, will be dotted with handsome private cottages where now unsightly shacks rest ; just a few years more and summer liomes will spring into being throughout the territory, adding to its life, activity and interest. Bumpers to Greater Kineo !
For the first time in history Kineo will be closed during the coming winter, IManager C. A. Judkins having leased the property at Kineo Station where he will run an all the year hotel to take the place of the old "cottage" which has sheltered men of all conditions and kinds ; where sportsmen have spun their yarns 'round the same blazing fireplace that lumbermen, chilled from the long ride down the lake, have warmed them- selves ; where associations hover for tliose who have come early or stayed late. Peace to fond memories !
.SUMMER VISITORS MANY
Since May 9th when the first fisher- men of the season made their way across the ice from Kineo Station, visitors have been flocking in, attracted by the early opening of the large hotel and the fish- ing, which has been the best of years, but July has witnessed the gradual back- grounding of the angler and the coming of tlie summer tourist. Still the split

bamboo and landing net are in evidence and will be until October, bi:t the golf club, tennis racquet, rifle and canoe pad- dle now outnumber them and riding, driving, mountain climbing and other pastimes are tilling in the days of rare sunshine and glorious air.
Bridge, -always bridge, holds its devo- tees captive, dancing is enjoyed by the younger set, and the Kineo Club wel- comes those who seek quiet and seclu- sion on the shady lake shore, to write a letter, read a bit, chat with a friend, or while away an idle hour. No one feature of the place adds a greater spe- cial charm, for the Club is like good books — one may not read them often, but one likes to feel that they are near when wanted. Amid the bustle of the midseason whirl of hotel social life, the Club is a quiet retreat for all who enjoy its privileges.
The second week of July finds the hotel with one of the largest house counts in history, conspicuous in the list being old friends who have not missed a season here, except when abroad, for a score and more of seasons. Friends to whom Kineo owes much and to whom Kineo is glad to show its appre- ciation ; friends who find no place like Kineo, and whose interest has spread its fair name farther and farther each year until it is now known North and South, Tiast and West.
In the list of those already here are Mr. and Mrs. Stanton I. Hanson, Mr. and Mrs. George E. Marcus and Mr. Hermann Marcus, Mr. and Mrs. How- ard A. Colby, Mr. and Mrs. Fred W.

Ull- man and family, New Haven; Mr. and Mrs. George W. Thornton and family, Pawtucket; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Beers, Bangor.
THE COTTAGE COLONY
The cottage colony is nearly complete and made up largely of old friends including Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Clarke and family, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Dougherty and family, Mrs. Cornelius Doremus, Mrs. M. D. Paterson and Miss Clarice Paterson, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Feuchtwanger and family, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur B. Waring, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Outerbridge and family. Dr. William Hanna Thompson, Mr. Henry Lord, all of New York; Mr. and Mrs. J. Hurd Hutchins and family, Boston ; Mr. and Mrs. T.

SPORTS IN THE OPEN
A busy summer in the way of sports in the open air is planned, with new and attractive features. Golf's popu- larity remains unquestioned, the usual weekly tournaments leading up to the annual match play event in which unus- ally attractive trophies are offered for both men and women. There will also be the usual team matches, putting com- petitions, mixed foursomes and the like, which add a social interest, among the most enjoyable of these being various invitation affairs for prizes contributed by guests.
Closely rivalling the Ancient Scottish game will be rifle shooting, two splendid championship trophies having been con- tributed by Mr. Nathaniel C. Nash of Boston, whose generosity meant much to the Rifle Club in its early history. The annual power boat handicap has now become an annual feature through the gift of a beautiful cup by Mr. Walton Ferguson, Jr., of Stamford ; an event eagerly anticipated by the entire section. As a new departure will be the trap shooting begun informally last year, and which will be put upon a permanent
basis this year through the interest of Mr. Thomas J. O'Donohue of New York, and Mr. James K. Clarke of Phil- adelphia ; numerous sweepstake and sev- eral cup shoots being planned.
Tennis continues a general favorite, the annual championship tournaments which include men's and women's sin- gles and mi.xed doubles events, being the feature of numerous contests. The addi- tion of a number of fine saddle horses to the livery has given added interest to this recreation, and new rigs and equipment are necessary to meet the requirements of the increasing number who look forward to the morning or afternoon drive. The chvig of power boats adds life and interest to the lake, more and more enjoying it, and some are taking up sailing, both m skiffs and canoes — a sport lamentably neglected here — and ever and always, the wilder- ness beckons to those who love us soli- tude and the sport it offers. In all direc- tions the rivers lead ; everywhere silver lakes gleam in the cool forest.
Baseball enthusiasm continues una- bated and the Point will once more strive to keep the attention of all visit- ing teams on the game, with the enviable record of the past two years clearly in mind. All and all the outlook for the summer was never more gratifying, for numerous social affairs of a pleasant character — the usual dances, teas, din- ners, canoe picnics, bridge parties and steamer excursions — promise to be even more numerous than in the past.

In Six Short W^ords Real Secret of Poland Spring's W^onderful Popularity is Summed Up
ESOLVED, this is the
i-p ESOL
rV l,est
^H|^ snipped, " is the trite comment W' "f 'lie original Buster Brown through liis originator, R. F.
Outcault, as the result of a
recent visit at Poland Spring, and in this short sentence are volumes of mean- ing, for, generally speaking, it is the unan- imous opinion of all who have visited this famous watering place. Therein lies the real secret of its wonderful pop- ularit.v and its fame whicli now circles the glolje — with friends, one may truly say, in every land and every clime. Thousands have thought the same thing and said it differently and at length, but it has remained for the famous Buster and the inimitable Tige, to get right down to the heart of things in six short words :
THE BEST I'L.^CE WE E\ER STOPPED
And when you come to think about it, what more is there to say? Buster and Tige are globe trotters; they've romped together in gay Paree, they've hobnob- bed witli royalty, they've bearded the festive Chink in his lair, and as for hotels, resort and otherwise, you can count the important ones on your thumb that tliey haven't "stopped at." Buster and Tige know wliat they are talking about as others know it. Tjie only dif- ference is that Buster has the power of expression, and because of this what he says will go down into history.
In view of this it is but natural that old and new friends have been gathering here since the opening of the hotels, June first, and the present week finds the largest early season company in his- tory, a large and congenial colony, renewing pleasant acquaintances of the past and finding new delight in the mag- nificent hospitality of the Rickers. Out
doors and in visitors find sport and pleasure, with every comfort and every luxury that foresight based on some- thing over one hundred years experi- ence, can provide. You may be quite sure of it — "there is no place like Poland " — no place as complete and as faultlessly maintained.
THE ANNUAL AKT EXHIBITION
Just at present interest is centered in the fourteenth annual exhibition of paintings by American artists, now being shown in the art gallery of the Maine state building; an event not alone enjoyed by visitors here, but by the entire State as well, for it is the only exhibi- tion of its character which Maine is privileged to enjoy, attracting thousands from all sections.
Xo admission is charged and in addi- tion, the beautifully illustrated catalogs are free ; treasured souvenirs of a visit of education and delight. The same lib- eral methods that have always been pur- sued by the Rickers continue this year, no thought or expense being spared, and one thousand dollars has been appropri- ated for the purchase of pictures for addition to the permanent collection.
The exhibition is fully up to the high standard of recent years, and in some respects, surpasses it ; not only in the variety of the motifs, canvases and the importance of the artists represented, but more American sculptors are repre- sented than usual and the collection of miniatures is of exceptional interest. In all 138 paintings, 29 miniatures and 13 pieces of sculpture are shown, many of the artists represented being annual con- tributors to the Salon and the Interna- tional exhibitions at Munich, Berlin and Tunis, as well as the leading American shows ; several choice pictures being painted especially for this exhibition.

The selection of paintings was made in tlie studios of the artists by Miss Nettie M. Ricker, art director, who has also hung the gallery with rare judgment, and prepared the catalog with taste and knowledge ; the supplementary data be- ing particularly interesting and helpful. Considering the greatly increased demand for good exhibition pictures during the summer months, owing to the various summer exiiibitions which are now held regularly in many large cities such as Worcester, Cincinnati and Buffalo, the support which the artists give to the Poland Spring exhibition shows plainly that they appreciate the excellent work done in the cause of American art by it.
During the season Northwaed-Ho ! will feature a descriptive article upon the exhibition, and will dwell as some length from time to time, upon various pictures, treating them in detail,
SPORTS AND SOCIAL PLEASURES
Poland's guests live much in the fresh air and sunshine and the summer will be one of activity, with numerous attrac- tions in the way of tournaments, golf leading in importance.
Thus early the annual championship contest is anticipated, and a large and important field of contestants assured, two handsome trophies being the goal for which all will strive. W. C. Chick of Oakley, who already has two "legs" on the cup, will defend his title and try for a third and permanent win, but tlie task will be by no means easy with such doughty opponents as Fred Herreshoff and Frank Layng of Garden City, Dr. W. S. Harban of Columbia, L. A. Hamil- ton of Englewood, Allan Petit of Phila- delphia, and Samuel Ivers of New Bed- ford. In addition to this contest will be the usual handicaps, foursomes and put- ting competitions.
Tennis is claiming increasing attention and various competitive events are plan- ned, and interest in indoor bagatelle has been heightened by the offering of two splendid trophies, one each for men and women, to be awarded for the best scores made during the season.
A novelty is a splendid trophy to be awarded to the amateur aeronaut alight- ing nearest the hotel during the summer and for which a number have signified their intention of competing. High up on the hill, set amid its deep green back- ground of oak and pine, the hotel is a fascinating target for balloonists, the well laid out grounds as soft as a Persian rug, apparently the easiest of all places to reach, but — that remains to be seen.
Never has motoring been more gen- eral, tourists skimming in almost every hour, and before the season ends several thousand will have affixed their names to the hotel registers. From all sections they come, to all sections they go, taking with them only pleasant memories and anticipating return visits. Riding and driving has never been more generally popular, and as in the past, many bring their private equipages ; among them Mr. and Mrs. George W. Elkins of Philadel- phia, Mrs. E. A. Hoffman of New York, Mrs. John C. Haines of Boston, and Mr. D. W. Fields of Brockton. In all direc- tions beckoning roads lead, none without a destination point of interest at the end.
Down in the big lake the fishermen find the bass eager, and the trout brooks, hard by, are providing excellent sport, and Mr. George W. Elkins, Mr. S. B. Stinson and Mr. James F. G. Lindsey and Mr. Byron P. Moulton, all of Phila- delphia, and Mr. J. L. Grandin of Bos- ton, will spend much of their time with rod and reel and relate the usual stories aliout the big one that got away.
Society will make much of the season, the interest of the young people being centred upon the usual Saturday night hops and the more formal cotillions. Putting competitions and afternoon teas will claim the attention of the entire col- ony, and saddle parties, brake trips and numerous suppers and lunches at nearby and distant points will combine happily in filling in every minute of such time as those who live mucli in the open air have to spare.

of a 30 H. P. Stanley car of the moun- tain-wagon type, designed for stage ser- vice to and from the railway station, six miles distant; a stiff journey, very much up hill on the way to the hotel.
The car is of the same type which Mr. F. O. Stanley sent to Denver to climb the mountains there, and it is guaranteed to make not less than twenty miles go- ing up hill, accomplishing tlie journey easily in twenty minutes.
If the test is satisfactory, two of these cars will be put on, each carrying eight passengers and a chauffeur. The first trials were made last week, and the initial work has been very satisfactory. The car has already been dubbed "a wind burner," by motorists who have ridden in it.
Prominent among the big crowd of motor tourists who are arriving daily, was Senator M. B. Scott of West Vir- ginia, who spent several days here, stop- ping off on his way over the already very popular "Ideal Tour" route.

AT BELGRADE AND RANGELEY
Many Summer Visitors are Coming, but Still it is Fish and Fishing at These Resorts
■ANY
summer visitors
W1M
^HL is lish and fishing which claim fFj attention at Belgrade and ^ Rangelcy. You breathe the
contagion in the very air, and jom 111 lieart and soul with the throng which is striving to catch the biggest fish or the largest string.
You may never have cared for the sport, but you soon discover that the reason is because you have never known what real fishing was, and a day or two only is needed to make a split bamboo rod and a book of flies your most treas- ured possessions. You may shrink from publicity, but an uncontrollable desire seizes you to have your name on the fish record, and you won't mind a bit if it appears in display type, top of column, alongside reading matter.
In a word, it's the old rule of adapta- tion which began with "doing the Romans;" the innate desire to be one of the crowd with which you exchange greet- ings and touch elbows. You may have wondered what could possess anyone to want to wear bright colored flies in their hat, and if you have you will be one of the first to appear with the largest and gaudiest you can find.
The angler lust thrills like good wine at Belgrade and Rangeley and binds the whole community into a common inter- est. It is a healthful, happy existence which gives life new meaning, and makes many a dark day to come bright with anticipation and recollection. Old Isaac Walton was surely on the right track, and the world is his debtor, with Bel- grade and Rangeley the best exponents among the moderns. From all sections of the country anglers come, and none go away disappointed.
BIG CRO-WDS AT BELGRADE
Thus Early it Has Been Necessary to Bring Annex into Play
The increasing popularity of the popu- lar Belgrade hotel has made it necessary, thus early, to bring the annex into use upon several occasions, and the present week finds the house filled very close to its capacity with no indication of diinu- nition until late in September. Familiar faces one finds in the happy group, those who return year after year, coming early and remaining late; all devotees of rod and reel.
From early morning until late evening the big lakes are dotted with the boats of the anglers, and men and women vie in friendly rivalry for piscatorial honors and at the hotel in the evening, relate experiences of the day. As for "records," they are hard to find, for big strings and big fish are so common here that little attention is paid to them. Nothing short of a sensation is much talked about, be- cause fishing records here must at least be unusual.
And so it is this season that but few records stand out sharp and clear. One is a string of 126 bass with the fly, in a day's casting, by Mr. Charles Malby of New York, and another, a ten-pound sal- mon landed by Mr. H. R. Mallison, also of the Metropolis. ^Ir. B. F. Goodrich of Haverhill, landed an even hundred trout in a two weeks' stay, including two strings of four totaling 16 pounds, and Mr. A. T. Sansbury of Boston, took a string of from three to six trout daily, weighing from 21/2 pounds to 6^4 pounds during a two weeks visit. Naturally there have been "others," but their catches are of the "modest" order— fifty or seventy-five bass a day, or a few
I'AI'.E 20 — NORTH\V.\Rn-HO !

three to five-pound trout — not worth mentioning at Belgrade !
Society is just beginning to make a claim for attention, and there will be the iisual informal affairs to enliven the season ; hops, teas and card parties, together with dinners, suppers and trips to distant- points ; quiet affairs but none the less enjoyable.
Golfers there are, busy upon the links, standing out sharp and clear against the deep blue background of the lake, and several tournaments have been arranged. Others are enjoying the tennis courts and the numerous drives of the section which wind on and on through a country- side of unusual beauty, where wild flowers bloom, the forest murmurs and rushing water gurgles.
GREAT SALMON FISHING
Rangeley Lake House Visitors Find Sport the Very Best
The usual invasion of summer tourists is well under way at the Rangeley Lake House and social pleasures are occupy- ing the attention of a big crowd of vis- itors, but fishing is still much in evidence with the records for the season the best of recent years.
Something over four yards long is the sheet upon which the story is told, and the most conspicuous poster in the hotel offiee, and still the fishing continues and the record grows apace. One hears of "big uns" from early morning until late at night, and nearly every guest has some story to tell, men and women dividing the season's honors.
The record string is credited to Mr. James J. Brigham of Springfield, Mass., who took five salmon totaling 22 pounds and including an 8-pounder. Mr. F. W. Emery of Boston, who made a long visit, took two big strings ; one of the two fish weighing I4'4> and another of three weighing 13^ pounds and including 7- and 8-pound salmon. In all, Mr. Emery took 24 fish weighing from 3 to 8 pounds and including five 7-pounders and two 6-pounders. Mrs. W. P. Mason of New
York, took two salmon weighing 12^2 pounds, and including a yYz pounder, and Mr. William A. Ulman of New York, a string of three salmon totaling io-}4 pounds.
Mr. E. E. Lederly of Brooklyn, and Mr. F. Wells of Hartford, lead in the big fish records, each with a nine-pound salmon to their credit. Mrs. C. R. Adams of Philadelphia, and Dr. C. W. Packard of New York, have taken 7- pounders, Mr. J. W. Argenburgher of New York, a 7^-pound salmon, and Mrs. W. P. Mason of New York, a 7}4- pounder.
PL,\NS FOR BUSY SUMMER
Many delightful social affairs are being planned by the young people, including the usual dances and cotillions ; the return of Mr. Harry T. Bauchle, Jr., of New York, being an occasion for gen- eral rejoicing. In addition there will be the usual trips and picnics, dinners, teas and concerts. Motor boating is coming rapidly into vogue and an annual regatta arranged, and golf holds its own as the most popular of out-door recreation ; the usual tournaments adding interest to the season. Motor tourists are more numer- ous than ever before, their number in- creasing with the lengthening of July.
Among the returning cottagers are Judge J. G. Dill and family of Orange, Mr. L. M. Schwan and family and Mr. W. N. Cunningham and family, both of New York. Everywhere flags are fly- ing, everywhere there is indication that the season is well begun and that it prom- ises to be one of the most successful in the history of this resort.
Glidden Tourists Monday
The Glidden tourists, in the fifth annual contest, will spend to-morrow in Boston, reaching Poland Spring Mon- day and Rangeley the following day. Wednesday they make Bethlehem, N. H., and the day following, the trip ends at Saratoga; a total of 1,669.7 miles.
The trophies are the Glidden and Hower cups, to be awarded to the clubs whose team loses the fewest points.

JACKMAN'S POPULARITY
Ne^v Territory Opened Up and Old Friends Returning
Jackmaii's increasing popularity among those who love wilderness life, is leading to its steady growth, the winter witness- ing the opening up of new territory and important enlargement of the equipment of points well established.
FINE FISHING AT ATTEAN
At Attean Camps, on beautiful Attean Lake, the Holden Brothers have branched out to meet increasing demands, giving them what is unquestionably one of the most complete sporting camp equip- ment in the State. Since last spring a private camp has been built by Mr. W. L. Hodgman of Providence, who has been an annual visitor for years and others will select sites during the summer. Mr. Hodgman and his wife are enthsuiastic admirers of the section, coming annually for the spring fishing and August rest. The splendid new dining camp is now complete in every particular even to rustic fittings, and a new launch meets the Canadian Pacific trains where they stop on the very lake shore three-quar- ters of a mile away.
Among those who will spend the sum- mer here are many old friends, among them Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Dennison of VVilliamstown, Mass., Hon. and Mrs. Lucien L. Bayliss of Brooklyn, Dr. and Mrs. Forbes McCreery of New York; the Misses Shipley of Bryn Mawr, Pa. ; Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Barney of Ludlow, Vt. ; Mr. Richard Northup and mother of Chicago, and others.
The spring fishing has been excellent, honors for the best string going to Mr. Robert J. Murcur of Montreal, who took thirty-eight trout, with a two and a half pounder at the head, late in June. The best fish was a four and a half pound trout secured by Mr. Clark Jenkins of Skowhegan.
HENRY MCKINNE\''s NEW CAMPS
In the matter of new equipment, Henry P. McKinney has built a hotel in an ideal
location on the Moose River, just above the inlet into Wood Pond, leasing some hundred square miles of territory upon which he has located branch camps. At Bull Dog Pond a string of cabins will be opened and under the personal supervis- ion of Thomas Gerard, for many years host at Spencer Lake camps, and at Lake Parlin will be built a hotel and cabins.
In striking contrast are Mr. McKin- ney's "home" camps and they open up very desirable territory. Bull Dog and the ponds near at hand, are deep in the wilderness, reached by canoe and trail; Lake Parlin one may reach by auto, and the home hotel is practically in the vil- lage of Jackman, yet far enough away to give it charm and seclusion.
FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS

Rare Scenic Beauties of Maine's Rugged Interior are Appealing More and More to Motor Tourists
T'
HUS EARLY tliere is ample evidence of the growing popularity of North- WARD-Ho ! territory among motor tourists, for already the honk of horn and screech of siren are reverberating through the silent forest. Ample evidence there is that no roads in the country are more fascinating than those of the Maine interior with their rugged scenic beauties.
To be sure there are hills, and good ones, but they are not steep enough to bother the average high power car, and they lend charm and diversity to the landscape ; the broad lakes and rushing streams, the shady forests ,ind sunlit plains, dotted here and there with vil- lages and farmhouses where various necessities can be obtained, showing great improvement within the past two years.
The roads are excellent, the air is like good wine, the water is cold and pure, the people are hospitable ! What more can the tourist, living the "life ideal." ask? As the Pine Tree State is the "Playground of the Nation," so has XoRTHW,\RD-Ho ! territory become the mccca for autoists, with the splendid summer resort hotels at Poland Spring, Kineo, Rangeley and Belgrade as the bright and guiding stars.
First in line is Poland Spring where over two thousand motorists wevt enter- tained last season, on the line of the new and what promises to become deservedly popular "Ideal Tour." Accessible from North, South, East and West; tlie glis- tening dome of its high tower a land- mark for miles around ; its location is so well known that no descriptive route is necessary.
Just above lie the Belgrade Lakes, reached from Lewiston via Greene, North
Monmouth, Wintbrop, East Winthrop and East Readllcld, resting on a triangle with Augusta and Wintlirop at opposite ends.
Further along is Rangeley with four distinct routes to it; first brought into prominence through the still famous trip of Judge Dill from East Orange. One route leads from Lewiston through Liv- ermore Falls, Farmington, Strong and Phillips. Another from Portland on through Freeport, Brunswick, Gardiner, Augusta, Waterville, Skowhegan, North Anson, North New Portland and Strat- ton. The third swings from Worcester, ]\Iass., to Nashua, N. H., and thence on through Manchester, Concord, Franklin, Bristol, Plymouth, North Woodstock, Bethlehem, Bretton Woods, Gorham, Gilead, Newry (Me.), Rumford Falls, Dixfield and Weld. Still a fourth route in the one followed in 1906, by the Glid- dcn tourists, from Buffalo via Auburn, Utica, Saratoga, Elizabethtown, Hotel Champlain, lilontreal, Three Rivers, Quebec, Jackson and Waterville.
And last but not least, lies Fair Moose- head, formerly considered well nigh inaccessible, but during the last few years, proven to be the most delightful of wilderness tours, full of charm and fascination, with roads far above the average ; a journey with slight difficulties, a journey of rare reward.
Among the first to brave the supposed difficulties was Mr. Walter IL Wesson, the Springfield revolver manufacturer, who summers annually at his private camp on Moody Islands, and he has been courteous enough to supply Northw.\rd- Ho! with details concerning three routes he has taken.
Tlie first is via Boston, Portsmouth, Poland S])ring. .Vugusta and Water- ville to Greenville. Tlie second includes.

"On all of these trips," says ^Nlr. Wes- son, "I found the roads for the most of the way, fairly good, and in some sec- tions of Northern Maine, excellent. There are a number of good stiff hills on each route, especially about Poland Spring and Augusta, but nothing that a good, .high power car cannot negotiate easily. In a dry season I should take the route through the woods from Athens to Blanchard. but in a rainy one should go via Waterville."
And so now 'tis Northwaed-Ho ! by auto where first it was by trail, later by stage, and then by train. Man has stormed and beaten down the barriers which the wilderness reared as supreme. In the shadows of grim Kineo. where Indian arrow makers once plied their art, happy children play, and on the flat promontory, where rival tribes fought to death, one hears the war cry of the golfer. Where stood the picturesque hide tepee is now the summer bungalow. The birch bark canoe is oniy a memory, and so 'tis throughout the State.
ABOUT NORTH"WARD-HO!
As Good as We Can Make it -will be the Rule Throughout
-\bout NuRTHWAKii-Ilu ! and its pur- pose, we can only say that it will be as good as we can make it throughout : text, illustration and printing.
Primarily its mission will be to print tlie »rit'.r of the resorts it covers, but special articles and various departments, will give a general character and broaden its field.
The Magazine stands upon an abso- lutely independent basis, counting upon the large hotels in its territory for cooperation, but in no way controlled by them, its mission to unify Maine's inland resorts; to make them one in a general interpretation of the word.
It will cater only to the high class- tourist trade and its advertising will be subject to the same scrutinyas the news. It will be exclusive, a publication which will attract attention because of its beauty ; which will be valued because of its high class character. It strives to give to the world not only a correct impres- sion of the beauty of the territory it covers, but a comprehensive idea of what the best class of visitors in that territory are doing.
The Magazine aims to do things dif- ferent from the usual way and it counts upon appreciation and cooperation for its future growth and prosperity.

ANGLING FOR BLACK BASS
The Bull-Dog of Game Fish
\|~^^ |-v tEVER to have taken a
^HJIL- i-\ small-mouthed black
^B|^ bass is to have missed a
W^ precious angling experience,
for no game fish, fresh vi'ater
or salt, has more savage,
(logged light in him per pound than
this bulldog of game fish.
Bass take the fly readily during the month of June, and again in September or after the water cools in the fall, and fly fishing for bass when they are rising with zest, is sport that furnishes num- bers sufficient to satisfy the demands of the most enthusiastic. It is. however, in bait fishing that the bass excels, and mainly because he is the only one of a very few fish that may be taken with bait according to the sportsman's notions of fishing. Just as fly fishing stands out clearly defined as sport, so does bait fishing for bass correspond with bait fishing as it is generally indulged in.
The novice starts out on his first trip with memories of former fishing expe- riences before him — days wdien he pulled tlic little trout from the moun- tain brook, the perch from the lake shore, race, or the mud pouts from the mill pond — and as the bait sinks out of sight and the first faint nibble announces that the fish is making the usual preliminary inspection, he has vis- ions of a lusty bass shooting heaven- ward with nimble protestations.
But they are only visions. For a time the strike results onlv in the bring-
ing up of an empty hook, but one soon learns to wait for the frantic rush at the expense of broken rods, for one might as well try to pull up the bottom of the lake as to pull out a bass on the first run.
Then comes the period of discovering not to hold him too hard or too light, and last of all, not to be disturbed when the demon goes into the air and scatters the bait in an attempt to rid its mouth of the hook. But experience is the great teacher and so it is that bass fish- ing is among the most fascinating of all angling.
The live minnow is the usual bait, and is effective at all times when the bass are hungry, but the live minnow must be handled properly or it will fail to appeal. First of all the minnow should be placed on the hook fastening it lightly through the fleshy part of the back, just behind the dorsal fin. It should then be thrown out, care being taken not to tear it from the hook, and left to sink and move about naturally.
Any attempt on the part of the angler to make it appear especially lively will be immediately understood by the bass, and the lowering of a dead minnow into a bass pool is merely a loss of time. The same dead minnow cast upon the top of the water may be immediately gathered in. but when attached to a hook and several feet under the water, it will remain there indefinitely. The bass knows what a dead minnow three feet under water is, and it knows what a live minnow is if that same minnow
does funny stunts in the wny of impossible action.
The bass does not take the bait at once. 1)ut he looks it over carefully for a wliile. then bites it gently, likes the taste, takes another bite and finally grabs it for fair and makes a dash. The angler's time to strike is when the run comes.
When the appetites are jaded, and the l)as3 requires tempting, the live frog is his special weakness, Ijut even then lie is not so hungry that he does not demand a thoroughly natural frog. The frogs are, of course, little fellows and should be hooked lightly through the upper lip, thrown into the water and left to swim about. As a rule they do not swim far when the bass are hungry.
There is, however, always a period during the warmest weather, when the bass is extremely fastidi'ous and nothing on earth but a live grass- hopper appeals to him. Then it is that the sport is at its best. These hoppers are caught and kept alive and must be lightly hooked so as to injure them but slightly. No sinker is used and the hopper is cast out and left to struggle naturally upon the surface of the water. When the bass comes for this bait he conies with a mighty splash which demonstrates very clearly that there is no trepidation and one has only to wait a moment before the strike may be made with safety. This sport is as near fly fishing as it is possible to have bait fishing and the lightest of rods and tackle may be used, making the battle skill against strength. Extreme deli- cacy is necessary to cast this bait any distance without tearing the tender hop- per from the hook.
The bass rises well to many trout flics, notably the Parmachenee Bells, JMontreal, Brown Hackle and Silver Doctor, but as a rule something more spectacular appeals to him ; Kitson, Seth Green, Wilson, Red Ibis, Yellow May and other strange creations. The reg- ular trout fly rod will do but a bass fly rod, somewhat more resilient, is pre- ferred, and it stands the great strain with more permanence.
No description of the bass would be complete without mention of its fear- lessness, and the real sentiment it shows towards its young. From the time the eggs are deposited on the spawning beds, until the little fry are able to care for themselves, the mother bass hovers about and protects her offspring. The bass, unlike other fish, will not eat bass spawn, but other fish manifest decided cannibalistic tendencies, and trout, percli and pickerel are always on the lookout for dainty bits of "cavair" or fry, and it is from these natural enemies that the bass defends its young. Let one of these approach and it is attacked witli fearlessness and desperation that rarely fails to drive away the intruder.
When a school of bass are seen along the shores of a pond all that is necessary to bring the mother into sight is to throw a chip in among them, and if one wishes to really see how she fights, the throwing in of a gasping and helpless perch will afford the opportunity. This trait of the bass is, no doubt, largely responsible for the wonderful hicrease the fish make in favorable waters.
Bass fishing may be enjoyed in a wide range of territory, but the Belgrade Lakes have within the past few years become world-famous, mainly because of the abundance ©f these fish there and their exceptional readiness to take either bait or fl3'. The fish are, appar- ently, numberless.
The record catch with the fly at Bel- grade, in a day's fishing, is one hundred and fifty-three, and the score stopped there mainly because no fisherman's arm can stand up for further casting.
The bass is not as graceful and gamey a fighter as the landlocked sal- mon, nor as clean-cut in his methods or as alert in his perception as the trout, but taken all and all, he is a game fish that takes his place with the very best this country affords. He will always appeal to those who love conquest, and no angler's education is complete who has not tested his skill with this the fiercest fighter of fresh water game fish.

MANY RIIIK AND IlKIVE
Riding and driving arc being enjoyed by an increasing' number, among those whose skill elicits general admiration being -the Misses Butler and their brother, Mr. A. B. Butler, Jr. Their training was western and their love of horseflesh is inherent; they ride like Centaurs.
Dr. iiowland Co.n. Jr., is also fre- quently in the saddle, renewing associa- tions of a season's campaigning in the West, when a pack liorse carried liis outfit and a six shooter and sombrero were his most treasured possessions. The six shooter is now a relic, but the sombrero the doctor still has in service.
Mr. Chapin Marcus is also devoted to ec|uestrianism, and hardly a day passes that Manager C. A. Judkins does not combine business and pleasure in a ride to Deer Head farm, his seat the seat of the Southerners who made the Confed- erate cavalry famous.
Some of the old string of saddle horses remain, among them old "Riley" whose trot and canter have been enjoyed for half a dozen years; but there is new and livelier blood for those who enjoy the thrill whicli a good pull on the reins creates.
Always fascinating is the road which winds along the lake shore to the Farm and Folsoms, and many who drive enjoy it frequently, among them Mr. C. M. Clarke and family, Mr. Henry Sheafcr ^md party, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Brodie, Mr. and Mrs. George E. Mar- cus and Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Mitton.
There is the spring at Mr. Dennen's cottage, the fresh milk at the farm, the Mowers at the nursery ; there is sunlight and shadow along the entire route, with glimmering Moosehead and the blue niouiitains half hidden by the silver birches which border the lake shore. Wild flowers bloom by the roadside, birds carol, and Nature in primeval garb, crowds close up to the roadside with a strange, half-reiiellant charm.
(IN fiOI.F LINKS AND TENNIS COURTS
Busy d.ays these ;ire upon the golf links and tennis courts. Among the most enthusiastic of the golfers is Miss Havemeyer who rarely misses a day, and the Misses Butler and Miss Warren are also devotees. Miss Clarke is just taking up the game and making rapid progress, InU the familiar figure and graceful s.ving of Mrs. M. D. Paterson is missed as she is resting from the game this summer.
Mr. J. 1 lunl llutchinsaiul Mr. George Marcus are still fighting the same old friendly liattle just above the eighty mark, and still hoping to get lower than ever before. Mr. J. 1*. Kinley manages to get away fr(jni his bcloxed liooks long enough to make a daily round and Mr. James A. Brodie is still practicing for "that match" with Professional Watson and frequently gets 'round under the hundred mark ( number of holes not stated). Mr. Howard A. Colby occa- sionally leaves the tennis courts for play, but not with the old-time enthusiasm, while Mr. Lyman B. GofT is still invinci- jjle. Mr. Thomas J. O'Donohue finds time for occasional play, and is as strong as ever on the Club House and the Hutchins cottage. The course is in ex- cellent ciinditiiin, in spile of the dry season.
The tennis court gallery is finding plenty to keep it occupied from its shady retreat on the hotel verandas. Mr. How- ard A. Colby, Mr. Chapin Marcus, Mr. Xelson Dougherty all ])laying fast games, with Mr. W. O. Rowland. Jr., Mr, Thomas J. O'Donohue, excellent secimds. Miss Kinley and Miss Thorn- ton are both clever enthusiasts, and Miss Ethel Outerbridge and her friends run (i\er frequently from their cottage for morning or afternoon play.
society's rilVERSIONS
Socially the season promises to be of the gayest, both for young and old, many delightful affairs even thus early indicating unusual activity. Among the most pleasing of the informal afTairs is the serviivg of afternoon tea at the

Rhodes, Jr., Mr. Nelson Dougherty, Mr. A. B. Butler, Jr., Mr. Ilerniaiin Marcus, Mr. Chapin Marcus.
The Ih'st of many dinners planned was a novel affair tendered by Mrs. Walter Brooks of New York, in the grill room, with woods' decorations and birch bark favors as the decorative feat- ures, the great round table containing an even sixteen plates. The guests in- cluded Mrs. M. D. Paterson, Mrs. A. J. r.utler. the Misses Butler, Miss Wal- lace, Mr. Chapin Marcus, Mr. Hermann Marcus, Mr. Nelson Dougherty, Mr. T.

POLAND SPRING'S BIG CROWD
Mid-July House Count is Largest in History — Sports and Social Pleasures Rounding Out Delightful Hours
V^^r?VERY TRAIX is adding
^ISL<' -I — / tlic faces of old and now
^^P^ friends to the company assem-
^7 liled at Poland Spring, with
the large hotel filled very close
to its capacity and the Mansion
lionse with hut limited accommodations.
Not in the fifty years' history of this
resort have as many inid-July guests
been entertained, and bookings for the
immediate future will call into play every
available room in both hotels.
-Last Saturday three hundred and twenty-five was the house count at the Poland Spring house, and Wednesday night, three hundred and sixty-seven. These figures give a clear idea of the permanent increase, but no indication of the real number of people handled, the movable crowd running from sixty to a hundred daily, and including a large pro- portion of autoists who are rolling in from all sections, Wednesday night thirty-seven cars being quartered at the big garage.
Delightful weather is keeping all out of doors and society gathers in the even- ing upon the broad verandas to enjoy the cool night air, gossip and discuss giiwns; a brilli.int picture full of life and color. Never have more exquisite toilettes been worn, the gowns of the young woiuen being particularly strik- ing and in good taste, and ever and always the gleam of rare gems adds fas- cination. One feels Poland's elegance an<l exclusiveness in the very at- luosphere.
Here and there little groups sit to- .sfether, here and there young people rnnip in bcxies, while many are busy in Ihc great card room, the reading and writing rooms, and others are enjoying the office and parlors. Soft music floats out from the dance hall, mingling with the merrv voices of the merrymakers, in
litting harmony with the brilliant lights, and the Poland Spring spirit which per- vades the whole.
.SOCIKTV ENJOY-S PUTTING
Socially the event of the week was Thursday afternoon's putting contest, for two very attractive tropJiies, nearly fifty participating, afternoon tea being served at the close of the play.

WITH CROP .■\Nll S.MlDLE
Decidedly in vogue is riding, the morning or afternoon gallop being one of the most enjoyable features of the day for a rapidly increasing number, among them many of the fairer sex. Wondrously fascinating are the roads which wind down from the hilltop and I in thriiugh the cool forests and sunlit meadows, past gleaming lakes and rush- ing brooks, with here and there a farm- house nestled mid elms or apple trees, to he lost in the blue hills beyond. Up hill and down lliesc white ribbons lead and

always they beckon to those who love the thrill which a good mount conveys.
Mrs. E. P. Stuart Clark, the Misses Emily and Mary Reed and Miss Hilda Grcenleaf of Boston, rarely miss a day and Miss Cliarlotte Finch of New York, brings her own Iiorses ; I\Iis3 Car- stairs and Miss Campbell of Philadel- phia, are all much in the saddle.
Driving is enjoyed by the older guests, many bringing their private equipages, and the usual brake rides are being looked forward to.
GOLF IS P0PUL.\R
Golf has never claimed more general attention, with an increasing interest on the part of women, as its most gratify- ing feature. Mrs. W. H. Lord of Bos- ton, Miss Marguerite Pettit and Miss Helen B. Stinson of Philadelphia, and Miss E. M. Allen and Miss Belle Brown of Boston, rarely miss a round, all play- ing excellent games and in splendid form. The Misses Carstairs of Phila- delphia, are often upon the course, and Mrs. R. H. Hood of New York, has just started in and is making excellent prog- ress.
Mr. Daniel C. Nugent, two sons and daughters of St. Louis, are all devotees, and three score of others find in the ancient Scottish game recreation ideal from tlie modern standpoint.
Snci.NL .\C-TIVITIF.S
The arrival next Saturday, of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Innian of Atlanta, is anticipated by the entire household, for both are social favorites. Mrs. Inman's coming will inaugurate the more formal social affairs, among them the usual cotillions.
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel C. Nugent of St. Louis, entertained Mr. Charles J. Glid- den at dinner, ilonday night, Mr. Glid- den running over from Poland where tile (ilidden tourists were quartered for the night.
Daily afternoon tea in the grove adjoining the hotel is enjoyed by all; the social hour of the day when news and gossip are exchanged.

ABOUT NORTHWARD-HO!
As Good as ^^e Can Make It will be the Rule Throughout
.\bout North w.\nii-Ho ! and its pur- jHise, we can only say that it will be as good as we can make it throughout, text, illustration and printing.
Primarily its mission will be to print llie iiti^'s of the resorts it covers, but special articles and various departments will give a general character and broaden its field.
The Magazine stands upon an abso- lutely independent liasis, counting upon the large hotels in its territory for co- operation, but in no way controlled by tliem, its mission to unify Maine's inland resorts; to make them one in a general interpretation of the word.
It will cater only to the high class tourist trade and its advertising will be subject to the same scrutiny as the news. 1 1 will be exclusive, a publication whicli will attract attention because of its beauty ; which will be valued because of its high class character. It strives to give to the world not only a correct im- pression of the attractions of the terri- tory it covers, but a comprehensive idea of what the best class of visitors in that territory are doing.
The Magazine aims to do things dif- ferent from the usual way and it counts upon appreciation and cooperation for its future growth .and prosperity.
The Pretty Waitress
She's eyes of blue
That smile on you
In a winsome, gracious way ;
Her voice is low
With accent slow
And when you hear her say :
We've beef and lamb.
Roast itork and ham.
With cold roast chicken and veal
Vou seem to sight
.*\n appetite
That at first you didn't feel.
Then as you lunch — .Toyously munch — Vou can feel her presence near, .■\nd when you go 'Tis somewhat slow. ■ .\nd with keen regret. I fear!

CAMP COOKING RECEIPTS
For the Wilderness Chef
H"
ERE are a few camp cooking receipts, pre- |iare(l by a professional cook who eacli year finds time to -.jienil a month or six weeks in llie wilderness. They cover the necessities of any "rough camp" and are thoroughly practical. The meas- urements are by pints, half pints, etc., for convenience, for a pint dipper is a part of every camp outfit. The ingre- dients should lie put together as indi- cated.
Fish Chowder — Cut up fish and one- third as much potato, sliced thin, and one onion, cut tine. Add a little salt pork (cut into dice and fried), salt and pepper to suit taste, and add a few crackers. Put all together, cover with water and boil until potatoes are done. Use milk if available, if not, butter.
Venison Stew — To each pound of meat allow one onion. Cover with water, season with salt and pepper. When meat is nearly done slice in two potatoes and thicken with a mixture of flour and water.
Another W.\y — Dice the meat and fry with an onion in butter, sprinkle over a little flour, brown and season with pepper and salt. Remove from frying pan and put in kettle, cover with water and boil until done. A bay leaf and three cloves added, will improve the flavor.
P.\RTRini;E, rabbit and other game slews may be made in the above manner.
Roast Venison — Venison should be roasted in ashes. Roll in green hard- wood leaves and cover with clay, then 1,-iy in the ashes beneath the fire. Rake fifteen minutes to each pound of meat.
Any G.\me may be cooked in the above way. Partridges and woodcock .sbould be baked with feathers on. Twelve minutes should be allowed for a bird the size of a woodcock, and half an hour for a partridge.
Broiled Partridce — Skin the bird, split
down the back, flatten out between broiler and stand before the fire, turning until done. A piece of salt pork on the breast will improve flavor. Season.
Ul'cks — Ducks are best roasted before an open fire. Stuff with two onions and place on a revolving spit before the fire. Keep the bird turning constantly. Baste occasionally with the drippings, which sliould be caught in a plate placed be- neath. Black meat ducks should be cooked rare and white meat birds, well done. From thirty-five to forty minutes will be required to cook the birds.
To Remove Gamev Taste — Let the game stand over night in plenty of salt water. Parboiling spoils flavor.
Seasoning Game — All game should "hang" until seasoned. Partridges and otlier birds should hang by the neck and should not be drawn until ready for use. A bird that is drawn and hung loses much of its flavor. A bird is never "seasoned" until its tail feathers refuse to sustain its weight when held aloft.
Hot Biscuits or Bread — One pint of llniir, one tablespoon of melted lard or butter, one teaspoon (heaping) baking powder, one-third pint of water or milk, a pincli of salt. Knead as little as possi- ble ; roll out, cut into biscuits and bake. Bread is done when it does not go down when touched lightly with the finger.
Corn Bread or "Johnny Cake" — One pint flour, one-third pint Indian meal, one-fourth pint sugar, two eggs, two tablespoons butter, one and one-third teaspoons baking powder, one-half pint milk or water, pinch of salt. Mix.
M o lasses Cookies — One-half pint molasses, one-half pint water, one table- si)oon lard, two tablespoons sugar, one teaspoon soda, two pints flour, pinch of salt. Mix.
Soft Gingerbread — Omitting the use of sugar and using only one pint of flour, in the molasses cookies receipt, makes soft gingerbread.

ABOUT HARDY GILSTRAP
A True Ghost Story
111
W^, nj'M NOT a believer ^IBk<' A ghosts; tliat is, not in a ^^1^ g e n e r a 1 w a y. That's one
_^y reason I have for writing out
the follovifing story. I've never been able to explain the matter satisfactorily myself, and am curious to know how it will impress others, so I'm just setting down the plain, una- dorned facts as I personally know them to be, and you, dear reader, must form your own conclusions.
^lany years ago I was stationed at Greenville, South Carolina, on special revenue work for the government, and in this way I came to know a man by the name of Hardy Gilstrap, who lived in Pickens county, not far away. He looked and talked somewhat like a gypsy, had a peculiar square knit frame, a swarthy complexion with a heavy beard, straight hair as black as a raven's wing, and his eyes — peering out from under overarching eyebrows — were the most remarkable I have ever seen in the head of man.
I can't attempt to describe those eyes or the man. I can only say that he had a strange, almost startling, personality, which would attract attention anywhere, and I recall as distinctly as if it were yesterday, that the first time I ever saw him I reined my horse up sharply and stared stupidly at him as he walked past.
At that time he was sixty years of age. He was born poor and spent the greater part of his life on a plantation. When the war broke out he managed in some
peculiar way, to keep out of the Con- federate army. After the war he traded a great deal and with wonderful results. Everything he touched seemed to turn into dollars and to all appear- ances, he made a great deal of money, but no one knew how much, not even his wife. The negroes stoutly main- tained that he was in league with Satan and regarde<l him with supersti- tious awe.
At the time I first knew him he loaned money a great deal. If he was asked for a loan he would enquire as to the security and appoint a time for a sec- ond interview. In the meantime he would investigate the matter and at the appointed time he would have the money, no matter how much, so long as the security was satisfactory. Where he kept this money no one knew. He pre- tended to go away for it each time just before giving it out, but he had no bank accounts and this trip was generally thought to be a ruse. Everybody sup- posed that he had his money hidden somewhere about the house, but Gilstrap was as sly as a fox and no amount of watching developed any clue to the mys- tery.
After a time Gilstrap started a distil- lery. Each bonded distillery is in charge of a government storekeeper and ganger, who weighs the grain, gauges the product and keeps a run of the amount of whiskey produced. In response to a request from Gilstrap for a ganger I sent him Prelo Goodwin, a
Greenville man. For a time the distil- lery made money, lint after a while it began to fall below the capacity required by the government, and money was lost. This worried Gilstrap a good deal, and he got into the habit of coming down each evening to enquire as to the result of the day's work.
x'Kbout this time Gilstrap died very suddenly and was buried after the cus- tom of tlie country. It was generally expected that among liis papers direc- tions as to the secret locations of large sums of money would be found ; but there were none and to all outward appearances, Gilstrap died a poor man.
In a short time the negroes living on tlie home plantation began to see Gil- strap at twilight. They said he fre- quented spots wliere he formerly spent a great deal of time and several stoutly affirmed that they saw him digging in the ruins of an old mill. On several occasions he had approached and attempted to converse with his old ser- vants, but they had all fled in a frenzy of fear. There was nothing uncanny about this apparition. It was Hardy Gil- strap, peculiar Hardy Gilstrap, just as he always was, only Hardy Gilstni/^ zvas dead and buried!
Not long after this the white people who had charge of a plantation of his some miles distant, reported having seen him several evenings just at dusk.
Then one day, Prelo Goodwin walked into my office with a blanched face and handed in his resignation as ganger at Gilstrap's distillery, which had been run by Mrs. Gilstrap since her husband's death.
I knew there must be some very decided reason for such an action, for the salary was good, and I was curious to know what it was, so I asked what it all meant. There was no reply. The man only hung his head and looked set. I repeated the question several times. Finally he said he didn't care to say. This made me more curious than ever.
"What do you mean?" T retorted.
Goodwin shifted nervouslv. "Because
if I told, you wouldn't believe me." he answered.
After some fm'ther questioning he burst out with :
"The damn place is haunted !"
I leaned back in my chair and lauglied long and loudly at the idea of Goodwin's allowing the silly nonsense of the negroes to disturb him, and then looked at the man again. I then real- ized at a glance, that it was no joke with him and here's the story that he told me. as nearly as I can recall it :
"One night early last week I got through late at the distillery. When I started for the house it was nearly dark. I was hurrying along, for I knew sup- per was ready, thinking of the day's work as I walked, with my head bent forward. As I approached the little turnstile on the path, I noticed someone leaning on it and looking up I saw- that it was Hardy Gilstrap.
" 'Hello, Prelo !' he remarked as I passed through the gate, and then as he walked along by my side, he continued : 'How you gettin' on? Make your 'pac- ity to-day? Reckon there'll be a 'ticiency this month?'
"I was about to reply when suddenly. / remembered that Hardy Tvas dead! At first the whole thing, the voice and figure, had been so natural that I thought nothing about it, but the second thought chilled me to the marrow, for I was now conscious that a dead man ims zi'alkiiig by my side! I dared not look into his face, but I made up my mind I would watch and see wdiere he went. Then, suddenly, I was alone. Gilstrap had van- ished as if the earth had swallowed him. and though I could see fifty yards in every direction, not a living thing was in sight!"
Goodwin stopped for a moment and just as I was about to speak continued :
"You're going to say I was drunk, but I am willing to swear that if I was ever sober in my life I was sober that night. / tell you Gilstraf's eome baek after his ^old. just as the niggers say. and I wouldn't go back to that distillery to work for a hundred dollars a week."
NORl HW.\KI>-HO ! — I'AGE 8
Ami ho uiiuldu'l.
Xol liiMs after this iH-ciirrtncc an nld frioiid of Gilstrap's, Mason by name, wlio was a travelling agent for farm maeliinery. eanie to the house of his old friend, and as it was late, decided to stop there for tlie night, as liad been his eus- t(im when Hardy was alive.
Xot lung after this 1 saw Mason and this is what he told me:
"Happening along past Hardy's at nightfall I thought I would spend tlie night there after my usual custom. .Mrs. tiilstrap and 1 spent the evening together pleasantly and about nine o'clock a servant showed me to the room I always occupied. Shortly after mid- night I awoke suddenly and noticed that there was a light in my room. Turning o\cr in lied 1 found Hartly standing by my liedside with a candle in his hand.
■"Mason, old feller,' he began, 'get up and let's have a game of seven up.'
"This was an old trick of Hardy'.s, coming" to my room in the middle of tlie night, and routing me out to play cards. Ofttinies when he could not sleep, he resorted to this as a means for quieting himself. But 1 was very sleepy and rolled over witli the remark: 'It's too late. Hardy.'
"But Hardy threatened to pull tlie bed clothes off unless I complied and know- ing that resistance would be useless, 1 tumbled out of bed and began to dress by the light of the flickering candle which he held. Suddenly the thought came to me that Hardy tt'iu dead and 1 glanced toward him with frightened eyes. .\s 1 did so he grinned malic- iously and then gradually failed from my sight until the room was dark again. .\t first 1 tried to lell myself it was all a dream, but it didn't go. I was as wide aw.ake wlien 1 stood there and saw him vanish, as I am now, and 1 can tell you that 1 didn't sleep much during the rest of the night.
"1 determined to say nothing. 1 knew it would only make me appear ridiculous, but at breakfast I noticed that Mrs. Gilstrap acted very strangely
9 PAGE NORTHWAKI)-1IO !
and 1 qucslioiieil her, saying: 'Vou seem worried, Mrs. (jilstrap?"
'Vcs, Mr. Mason,' she replied, '[ had a bad night. / saw Hardy! In the mid- dle of the night 1 awoke feeling chilly. 1 opened my eyes to see Hardy stand- ing at the foot of the bed, dressed, with- -,{ liglited candle in his hand. Vmi know lie had a way of getting uii at all hours of the night? Well, he would always pull the bed clothes off to bother me. I noticed that the clothes were gone and protested mildly to him .as was my usual custom, whereupon he turned and walked from the room with his familiar laugh, 'Ha, I la. Ha!'
"1 rose to pick up the clothes. Just then / rcincinbcrcd llial Hardy was dead! I thought 1 must have been dreaming, but on a second thought I l.iicw that could not be the case for there were the clothes on the lloor at the foot of the bed, wdiere Hardy had thrown them, ink/ / sl(>i)d oivr titciii in llic dark- ness ready to re/^laee tliein! It couldn't possibly have lieen a dream, Mr. jMason, and it makes me nervous.'
"Then 1 told Mrs. Gilstrap my story. I am coiitideiU that Hardy c;inie from .Mrs. Gilstrap's room to mine. You may c:ill me foolish, bid I lell yua thai Hardy Cllslraf^ af'^eared to us both that a'v'ht as siu'e as the snii shines!"
I knew (inodwin and Mason well, and 1 am coiilident that they told what they believed to be the truth. I know also that the ne.groes tied from the planta- tion, the distiller\ was abandoned, that the old home was deserted and fell to pieces — a "haunted house" — shunned and feared by the negroes and poor whites, and regarded with a strange curiosity by people ofeducation. Though this all happened some tliirty years ago, the stor\ is as fresh in that vicinity to-day as it was then, and Prelo Good- win and Mason tell their experiences pre- cisely ;is they did when I first heard them.
BUSY DAYS AT RANGELEY
Hornpipes and Cake Walks a Novel Diversion — Golf and Other Sports Claiming Attention of Many
^(Bm' » ' room in the Casino,"
^Pl^ is the usnal remark of the PF" smiling clerk at the Rangeley Lake house these busy days, and you're happy all the way through at that! Never before has this popular hotel been so severely taxed to provide for the early midseason influx, never has the demand for August accommodations been greater. Hun- dreds have been turned away and as many more will meet with similar refusals, for only limited accommoda- tions will be available throughout the entire month.
Good cheer reigns, home comforts and hotel luxuries rule, for "John" Mar- ble is both Landlord and Friend ; Solicitious as one. Provident as the other. Before the hotel the bright lake gleams, behind it the golf links stretch away, and everywhere Nature beckons ! Happy days they are, days close to Nature in companionship with congenial people, days when one stores up treas- ured memories to be enjoyed in months to come.
COI.F IS KING
One hears much of tish and tishing, of motoring on land and water, of tramps and drives, of tennis and bathitig, liut in spite of this golf is unquestion- ably King of Sports, the greensward claiming the attention of all, from the wee youngster who swings papa's clubs on the first tec, to gray-haired grand- father who has forsaken the fly rod for the time being. Here it is a "friendly game," there it is a match for a "ball a hole." luU the same spirit pervades all.
.-\t a recent meeting the Oquossoc Golf Club announced the season's pro- gram, interest centering in the annual Rangeley Lakes Championship events
for men and women, booked for August 10— I.? and 17 — 20, the trophies being spletuli'l cups presented by President Bauchle. (.)llier August events include medal play handicaps upon the first, lifth. eighth, twelfth, fifteenth, twenty- sixth . and twenty-ninth, with qualifica- tion and match play for Mrs. Ogden's cup upon the fifth, sixth and eighth, and a putting competition for women upon the twenty-first.
The niemliership list is growing rap- idly, the present roll including: H. A. Freeman, Clarence Freeman, G. R. Souder, C. E. Knowles, \V. H. Castle, C. Roberts, Arthur Maris, H. Maris, F. K. Sauter, R. W. Rhoades, Mrs. F. E. Sauter, Miss Helen Dill, Mrs. F. A. Winslow, Miss Edith McCoy, Mr. F. Leon Shelp, Miss Gushing, Miss W. E.

socikty's diversions
The guests have discovered a new anuisement and are making the most of it. Thanks are due to an itinerant organ grinder for straying up here last Monday afternoon while cards and needles held uncontested sway on the veranda. Two tunes of ancient vin- tage had offended delicate ears when the clieerful Son of the Boot turned on a lively breakdown.
At thi^s point Miss Brunner, whose feet had become very restless, lost all control (if those members, and scatter- ing a hundred aces to the cool lake lireeze, sprang into a clear space and showed a highly appreciative audience how a hornpipe should be danced.
In the midst of Miss Brunner's efforts Miss McCoy likewise had "a feelin' in her feet like St. Vitus dance" and the fun was redoubled After repeated encores the nnisician declared his arm was "on da blink" and half a hundred people set about the serious task of catcliing their breath and straightening the kinks out of aching jaws.
That was the beginning.
The ne.xt evening the same lively couple was lured onto the Casino floor where, after a few moments of well- simulated embarrassnient, the details of real coon cakewalk were illustrated so faithfully tliat the applause was heard over in the village.
It is to be hoped that Miss Brunner and Miss McCoy are blessed with strong constittuions for it is easily seen that the summer will lie a strenuous one for them.

The most attractive of the social events of the week was the birthday

dinner given liy Mr. Clarence P. Free- man on the occasion of his birthday.
Ihe talile was attactively decorated, each guest receiving an appropriate favor, and twenty covers were laid. .Afterwards the company adjourned to the Casino, where informal dancing was enlivened by the introduction of several sets of unique favors.
The guests were: The Misses Amy Richards, Helen and .Susan Dill, Mary King, Rachel Marble. Gladys Gilinan. Elsa, .\nna and Marguerite Schaefer, Mildred Sears, Marie Chatillon and Elizabeth Shields. .\lso the Messrs. Sturgis and Nelson Shields, Jack (Jil- man. Will Trump, Harry Bauchle, and .-\rthur .111(1 Harry Maris.
HERE .\Nri THERE
Notwithstanding the hotel is ta.xed to its utmost, there are but two lialiies in the number. What is lacking in paucity of numbers is certainly made up in qual- ity, for two tine specimens of babyhood are the nine months' Thomas Wriggins and the nineteen months Thomas Syn- nott. Phillips Brooks could truly say of them as do all the guests of the hotel, "These arc babies."
The Sunday evening concerts, con- ducted acceptably last season by the Rev. Dr. F, A. Noble, are proving attractive again this year.
The pastor of the Rangeley cliurch. Rev. F. P. Freeman, closed the concert, Sunday evening, with a beautiful and appropriate talk on "FViendship."
The following guests are here in their touring cars: Mr. Gilbert Tollman, Canton, Mass., (Packard); Mr. Harry Bauchle, New York, (Thomas); Mr. Geo. B. White. Boston, (Stevens Duryea) ; Mr. J. S. ^^cLean, New York. (Packard); Mrs. Edward S. Crocker, Fitchburg, Mass., (Pierce .Arrow); Mr. J. L. Ogden. Newark, N. J., (Stoddart Dayton). Many of the guests, through the kindness of owners, share rides with them, finding rare pleasure in the diversity of scenery and pure air.

SHOOTING .\NIl GOLF
Mrs. K. H. Outerbridge has given two beautiful trophies for a special rifle con- test to be held early in August, which has done much to increase interest in an already popular sport.
Rain interfered somewhat with the weekly shoot, but scores were good, Mr. Reginald M. Cleveland, last week's win- ner, being "high gun" with a target of seventy-two; Mrs. James K. Clarke leading the women wtih fifty-si.x.
The addition of a miniature golf course, adjoining the hotel, is proving a popular attraction for both tliose wlio enjoy the long course and those who care for a less strenuous game, and a tour- nament has been arranged. At present scores are striven for with Pro- fessional Watson, who went round in twenty-one — 3 2 2 t, 2 ,^ 2 s ' — posing as Colonel Bogey.

PETE GILBRAY^S TAME TROUT

V^lQOiME TWENTY of us ^|BC«' kj were gatliered round tlio ^H^ lilazing fireplace of tlic log
pF T cabin office of the Maine sport- ing camp, one evening, when Johnson came in with his I'rcnch-Canadian guide, Joe Gilbray, and explained brielly that Joe had consented to tell us about a tame trout his little boy, Pete, once owned. We all turned toward Joe.
Gilbray rose with evident embarrass- ment, placing the match with which he had just lighted his corn cob between his teeth, and throwing the pipe into the fire- place.
"1 no laik spick in companie," he be- gan, "but Meester Johnsing she say sport man from New Yorik an' Bostong .■m' down river, laik hear 'bout tame trouit me leetle boy, Pete, haff some taim go, bimeby, mebby.
"Yon see it wair dis way. Me leetle lii>\- she fall an' break hees laig on buck- bi)ard rud, between big rock an' dark, an' for wan leetle while or longer, mebby, she w.iir vair seek. 'Long 'bout taim she git beter, so be out 'bout yard, wan sport man an' wan sport woman see heeni an' talk peety on her, geeving hcem wan line feesh pole ; wan nice feesh rod. Den me leetle boy she want go feeshing, but he haff no feesh hook or feesh line, so I go buy heem some at store town.
"Whan furst 1 go in I tink 1 want wan feesli hook, but store man he say dey no feesh wid feesh hook nowaday, so I buy some fleas — store man call 'em — purty tings wid bright wings — 'cause dey all cost same wages, an' I kno' dey please liiiy. An' I iiaivcr haff see more tickle chil' den whan 1 geef dose lleas to heem."
"Iliineby, some time after, mebby, u h.'in she git stronger, he go feeshing; wan sport man an' wan sport woman, who geef him wan fine feesh pole, haf- ling tol' heem how use dose purty tings wid bright wings which store man call

At furst he no catch trouit or odder kinds of feesh, an' I laff on hconi whan she come back eacli day 'bout si.\ \\;ni half o'clock; but after while, purty queek, 1 laff 'long way off, for he get so she feesh wid dose fleas like wan real sport man, an' I bein' fadder dat boy, feel right proud, I dunno, mebby.
"Wall, one night short way off, she come home wid one vair fine trouit 'live in pail ; weigh wan pound, half pound, mebby, an' he wair such purty feesh me leetle boy want kaip heem 'live in wan wash tub which stan' in yard.

About North-ward-Ho !
.\bout XoRTHW.\RD-Ho! and its pur- pose, we can only say that it will be as good as we can make it throughout ; text, illustration and printing.
Primarily its mission will be to print the ticzvs of the resorts it covers, but special articles and various departments will give a general character and broaden its field.
Tlie Magazine stands upon an abso- lutely independent basis, counting upon the large hotels in its territory for co- operation, but in no way controlled by them, its mission to unify Maine's inland resorts ; to make them one in a general interpretation of the word.
It will cater only to the high class tourist trade and its advertising will be subject to the same scrutiny as the news. It will be exclusive, a publication which will attract attention because of its l)eauty ; which will be valued because of its high class character. It strives to give to the world not only a correct im- pression of the attractions of the terri- tory it covers, but a comprehensive idea of what the best class of visitors in that territory are doing.
The Magazine aims to do things dif- ferent from the usual way and it counts upon appreciation and cooperation for its future growth and prosperity.
SEA VOYAGE BY CANOE
Five Hundred Miles Alongshore, New York to Nova Scotia
The most interesting of recent visitors at the SamOset, Rockland Breakwater, Maine, were Mr, and Mrs. Henry A. Wise Wood of New York, who are jour- neying from Xew York to Nova Scotia in a ninety-pound, sixteen-foot canoe.
Some five hundred miles the trip is, along the seacoast with broad water ways and bays, miles in area, to cross.
gage ; so thoroughly rigged that Mr. and Mrs. Wood do not find it necessary to depend upon anything along the route except necessary supplies which are easily secured from time to time.
The journey to Nova Scotia from Rockland is by way of the Thoroughfare and Islands in the Penobscot Bay, and the voyagers plan to reach their destina- tion the latter part of the present month.
This trip is the result of several other similar expeditions which have been most enjoyable. As a novelty it stands witliout precedent.

along a path never before traveled, never before considered navigable by so frail a craft. Mr. and Mrs. Wood, how- ever, are not only performing the feat, but finding the journey deligluful, rely- ing only upon sail and paddle for motor power. One hundred and seventy-five pounds is the weight of equipment and water-tight compartments give safety. Otherwise the canoe is just such as one may find anywhere.
The little craft is fully as interesting as its occupants, equipped with electric light, tent, cooking utensils and bag-

By Herbert L. Jillson
VrrnnPHOUGH rm not old ill jBk*- A years — scarcely three I^M^ score — Time has lain her hand jFT lieavily upon me and already [ see the lengthening shad- ows of Life's twilight falling across my pathway, and I feel that the memories of the sunshiny yesterday are becoming indistinct in the gathering gloom. I'.ut, as my mind wanders back, there is nuich in the years which have Hown, that serves to make the approach- ing darkness unforbidding ; much that I would not part with were it possible, by some miracle, to add two score years more to my days.
Success, as the world at large now reckons it, has not been mine. Fortune, though once I sought her earnestly, has ever eluded my grasp, and Fame, never courted, has not forced herself upon me : but I have had strange experiences, and there are rich memories which soothe and satisfy the soul in which there was once unutterable yearning. There's hardly a land bordering on the deep, blue ocean but I've stood upon; hardly a people that I've not seen, and somehow, as my weather-beaten craft draws near the harbor after its long and sometimes perilous voyage, and I look liack over it all, I cannot but feel that the trip has been a fair one.
Fate brought me into the world in a seaport town and there my childhood and youth were spent. As I grew in years, a strange fascination for the sea fixed itself upon me, in spite of the
opposition of my people who were determined to ha^'e me learn a trade and settle down, as my father and his fath- ers had done for generations back. As time wore on and I continued to spend more and more time on the wharves, watching the white sails fade into the indistinct distance, the efforts of my parents became more pronounced, but they only strengthened my determina- tion to find out what lay beyond the dim horizon which seemed ever beckoning.
The upshot of it all was that I ran away to sea at fourteen, shipping as a cabin boy. After two years of wander- ing, I found my way home again, very proud of my natty sailor suit and the gold coins from many lands which I jin- gled fondly in the pockets of my broad, blue trousers. There had been a tinge of home sickness and for a time it seemed good to get back to old and familiar scenes, and to relate my expe- riences to eager comrades, but it soon wore away and a few months later found me on board the schooner "Wil- liam Cobb," Thomas D. Endicott master, as able seaman. In my diary for 1856, under date of November seventh, I find this inscription :
"Left Digliton this day for Baltimore, from Baltimore to Aspinwall, from Aspin- wall to New Orleans, for Norfolk. That is the e.xtent of our voyage."
There was a queer thrill at starting on this trip that I had not felt when I ran away, which, now that I recall it after the years have passed, seemed to
foretell the strange experience which I :\m ahoiit to relate. Under that influ- ence I wrote this inscription in my ■diary on the eighth :
"In Newport with the wind from the southeast. Shall go to sea with the first fair wind. We intend if we have good success' to be on this voyage four months. Everything bids fair for a pleasant time — still we cannot see into the future — but I will place my trust in the One who watches over our welfare. To Him and Him alone is the future made known. So ends this day with my thoughts on the friends at home."
We were delayed somewhat at Bal- timore where we put in to take on a cargo of coal for the Aspinwall and Panama Railroad. For some weeks I was depressed, gloomy, and I thought a great deal of the uncertainty of the future, something I'd never done before, but fair wind and full sail soon took the vessel into southern waters and my heart warmed with the old-time enthu- siasm as we proceeded farther and far- ther into the land of sunshine, birds and fiowers. We reached Aspinwall with its great vessels over which floated the flags of all nations, without incident, unloaded our cargo and set sail for New Orleans.
A few days out we encountered foul weather and on the night of Jan- uary fourth, i8s7, our ship struck a coral reef, some ten miles ofi the shore of the island Old Providence. A wave washed the vessel high up where she caught, stove in, tipped forward and hung. There was little danger and we made no effort to leave the ship until the following morning, when we went ashore in boats. We found a little set- tlement called the City of Isabella, largely made up of colored people — although nearly every nationality under the sun was represented — who though ignorant and superstitious, were very kind.
The island is under the control of the Columbian government and lies in the Caribbean Sea, latitude 13° 21' N, longitude 81° 21' W; 100 miles east of
the Mosquito coast. It is oblong in shape, about 8 miles long and 5 miles wide. In the centre a great mountain rises 3,000 feet into the air and from its rugged sides clear water gushes in tor- rents and cooling breezes coine to tem- per the tropical sun. The landscape beauty of the place is particularly strik- ing and the climate could not be more delightful. It is just such a spot as one would select for the strange history connected with it. The island was for- merly known as Santa Catherina and for a long period was the rendezvous of the notorious buccaneers of the Gulf^ JNlorgan, Jean DeVerde and others — who at one time, ruled the sea with iron hands. On a high cliff command- ing the harbor, were the remains of an old fort in which eleven rusty cannon lay half imbedded in the earth, the sup- ports having disappeared. These guns commanded the harbor perfectly and the island as well, for on the other sides, it was inaccessible owing to the high cliffs which rose precipitously out of the water, and the dangerous reefs that extended out into the ocean beneath them.
For many years this strange fort was manned by pirates. When the robbers were attacked upon the sea by a supe- rior force, they would retreat to the har- bor, under the protection of the guns, and for years they withstood all attacks. During this time the little harbor was frequently filled with black ships while high carousals were held on the island to celebrate the capture of some rich prize. Often the robbers came bringing prisoners. The men mysteriously dis- appeared unless they would consent to join the band, and the women were kept for a life that was little short of a living hell. These events were beyond the memory of all but the inhabitants at the time of our visit, who were familiar with the story which had been handed down to them.
On the white coral bottom of the har- lior, which one could plainly see by pad- dling about in a canoe or boat and look- ing down through the clear water, were
NORTHWARD-HOl — PAGE 8
many strange sights. At the foot of the great cliff lienealh the fort, lay one of its gnns which had evidently rolled down. Farther out from the shore was a good sized schooner, rapidly falling to decay, covered with shells and coral, her mast.s gone, and the brass work green with age. There were several guns on tlie sides and a swivel brass piece in tlie bow. Not far away was an ei.ghteen-foot boat with a small cannon in the bow and about a mile from the shore, under forty feet of water, were the remains of a forty-four gun frigate. There were twenty-two iron guns on each side and a slender swivel brass piece, or "long Tom," in tlie bow. The old hulk was fast going to pieces, but it could be plainly seen that the craft had blown up. for she was almost rent in two amidships.
I found great pleasure in going over the fort, or gazing down at the sunken ships, but after a time they ceased to in- terest me and I turned my attention to the island, roaming here and there at will. Late one afternoon I came unex- ])ectedly upon an old Spanish galleon or treasure-ship, lodged upon trees and rocks, some two hundred feet from the shore. I had never seen anything like her liefore and only knew wivat she was from her resemblance to pictures I had seen. It was too late in the day to explore the vessel, so I got my bearings and started for the settlement where 1 reported my discovery. The people exchanged frightened glances and finally in hoarse whispers informed me that the vessel was haunted. They said that every one who visited it met with bad hick, disaster or death soon after. Ter- rible, unearthi}' groans had been heard issuing from the hold, and vague white forms had been seen flitting about the decks at night. Mysterious lights iippeared and disappeared weirdly on the tops of the shattered masts, or in the port-holes and liroken cabin win- dows. Some believed it to be a phan- tom-ship that had appeared and disap- peared off and on ever since the time of the pirates. The people had known
9 I'AGE — NORTH\V.\RP-HO !
of tlie galleon's existence for J-cars, Inu I could not find any one wdio had dver dared to visit it. and I learned that there was no one in the settlement who would not go miles out of the way while crossing the island, to avoid going cither within sight or sound of the myste- rious vessel.
Thus years had passed, each increas- ing the strange dread of the ship and adding to the fiction concerning it ; fear and story being handed do.wn from generation to generation and retold from childhood to old age.
But these uncanny stories only served to arouse my curiosity to fever point and early the following morning found me on my way to the galleon. .\s I reached the spot, and made my way through the tree's towards the vessel.' I- could not stop the little chill that' kept shooting up and down my spine. She was certainly a very strange craft as sh'e lay there, looking almost like a castle' in her majestic lines. She was nearly'tWo' hundred feet long with about thirty feet beam. At the stern, three decks rose high into the air, sinking dowii in a sharp curve to the one in the centre and rising again to two at the bow. Port-' holes glared otit ominolisly along' her we.'itlier-lieaten sides and there were ugly cracks and seams between the planking.
Surely a century and, perhaps, two,' must have elapsed since the old ship was tossed' up among- the rocks, proba-' bly by a tidal wave, for T could think of no otlier satisfactor\- explanation for her lieing there. Bat in spite of the wear of' years, everything went to 'show 'that ^he had once been a ship of rare beauty, upon which money h:id lieen lavished without stint. The heavy gilding on tlic elaborately fashioned fi,gure-head and the beauti'ful carved work surrounding the lettering on the hows and' quarters Ijacl, however, withstood the ravages of time well and by supplying letters' mis.s- ing on tlie prow from those on the quar- ter.

l68o MILKS — 1 102 P.SSSENGERS
Tuesday rounded out the first inonth and a most satisfactory test of the new Stanley mountain wagon auto stage which the hotel management is making. In all i68o miles have been run without mechanical or other trouble, the machine always ready at call, and 1102 passen- gers have been carried. Best of all, the average shows that a gallon of gasoline takes the car 8^4 miles.
When one stops to consider that this gives thirty actual horse power, and a pressure of some five hundred pounds of steam, it is little short of marvelous to the lay mind. The six and a half miles, up hill or down, is easily covered in twenty minutes at fair speed and when pushed the distance down can be made so close to better than ten minutes that it don't pay to bother with a stop watch.
L.\TE .■\RRIV.\LS

R. Thomas of Boston. Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. C. C. Corbin of Boston, and Mrs. Stanley Matthews of Wash- ington, being among others who enter- tained thus.
Wondrously beautiful are the sunsets which are being enjoyed these rare August evenings, an hour enjoyed by the entire household ; colors no artist's palette can reproduce, colors no cold words can convey. High up on the hill- top overlooking the valley below, the hotel stands, and from this viewpoint X^ature's panorama stretches away, the purple distance, gleaming lake and dis- tant mountains a fitting foreground for a picture i)f indescribable beauty.
Tuesday evening, Delroy. the psychic lecturer and palmist, entertained the guests in the Music Hall and other varied entertainments are being enjoyed, the real interest of each day centering in the usual symphony concerts.

RANGELEY AND BELGRADE
Outdoor Sports and Social Diversions Provide Merry- Days for Crowds which Tax Hotels' Capacity
GOLF'S popularity remains unquestioned at the Rangeley Lake house, two events provided interesting contests during the week for l)oth participants and onlook- ers. Fisliing, motoring and informal social affairs are generally enjoyed and arrivals are provided for only by depart- ures, for the hotel is filled with old and new friends who will remain until well into September, satisfied with life as they find it here.
A tie play-off between Ernest Roberts of Baltimore, whose allowance was twenty, and W. H. Trump of Philadelphia, whose handi- cap was a stroke less, at seventy- four each, gave zest to the weekly medal play handicap, Mr. Roberts winning the final round with a low sixty-six to a liberal eighty-two for his oppo- nent, excellent handicaps bringing scores throughout close together. I. B. Shields made 99 — 20 — 79; M. Trump, 15 — 25 — 80; W. H. Cattle, 97 — 16 — 81; C. E. Synnott, 98 — 17 — 81: Ci. R. Louder, 92—10—82; E. A. Wins- low, 104—22—82; R. W. Rhoades, 110—28— 82: E. C. Santer, iii— 28- 83; R. H. Stearns, 106 — 20 — 86; E. Napier, 126 — 30 — 96. A nine-hole medal play handicap for women, the cup presented by Dr. B. E. Stahl, was the attraction Monday. Miss Helen Dill of East Orange, whose handicap was one, leading the field by a margin of ten strokes, with a card of sixty-eight; Mrs. E. A. ..inslow of Xew ^'urk, making second in seventy-eight, playing with an allowance of five. A stroke away was Miss Susan H. Dill (6), in seventy-nine; Miss Dill ( I ) , making eighty-one; Miss Anna Schaefer (6), eighty-four; Mrs. E. C. Sauter (12), ninety; and Miss Xapier (14), 92.
A pleasing feature in connection with the tournaments is the presentation of the cups in the evening, Treasurer C. E. Synnott con- ferring the trophy upon Mr. Roberts, and Dr. Stahl making the presentation to Miss Dill.
Eishing honors of the week went to Mrs. Ernest N'apier of East Orange, in the taKuig of a 5'/^ pound trout which was the centre of attraction in the foyer as it lay in state in all its rainbow glory of color. The big fish was hooked at sundown as Mrs. Xapier was troll- ing licr flies on top of the water, and night had fallen before the fighter was broughi. to net. Mr. Xapier is credited with a i'A pounder

and August days have no terrors for him in view of last season's excellent record.
Among the pleasant social affairs of the week was an "at home" given Thursday after- noon by Mrs. W. M. Cunningham of Xev York, at her beautiful private cottage, nearby, guests from the hotel including Mr. and Mrs. Crocker, Mr. and Mrs. Richards, Miss Rich- ards, Mr. and Mrs. Ereeman, Mrs. Bauchle and Miss Marzoif.
The birthday anniversary of Mr. "Harry" Bauchle was the occasion of a merry hop in the Casino, with all sorts of well wishes for the future health and prosperity of one of the most popular young men in the hotel.
Dr. and Mrs. B. E. Stahl gave a house party at their camp yesterday.
Motoring is claiming increasing attention, many making the trip here thus, among the fast runs being a trip from Fitchburg, Mass., 250 miles, in twelve and a half hours, by Mr. Edward S. Crocker, driving a Pierce- Ar- row. Considering the condition of the roads the time is very close to a record.
Mr. John S. McLean and his daughter re- turned to Xew York, in their touring car after a very pleasant stay of three weeks. Mr. Mc- Lean is one of the oldest patrons of the hotel and when his health permitted a devoted fish- erman. The hearty send-off he received as he left attests the warm esteem in which he is held.
Late Arrivals at The Belgrade
Excellent fishing, golf, tennis and other recreations in the open air, are occupying the attention of the big crowd at The Belgrade, the demand for accommodations continuing.

THE DOCTOR ENTERTAINS
A Wilderness Hoax
VJ~ ^r?lSllIX(; wasn't good and ^IBL' *- the trails were in such ^H^ condition that the gentlemen, pFf to say nothing of the ladies, were loath to leave camp for trips into the woods. The days were passed idly in card playing or story telling ahout tlic rustic caljin fireplaces, and at night the guests amused them- selves listening to the guides as they called owls close to camp. Then the desire to try "jacking," just for amuse- ment, arose.
To he sure, there were few, if any, deer on the little pond on which the sporting camps were situated, hut no oije knew that except the proprietor, and it would not do for him to admit it, so he quoted the law glibly and pointed out clearly the dangers that were liable to ensue from such a gross disregard for the game laws. He dwelt particularly on the clause which says it is a violation of the law to have a jacklight in one's possession ; he didn't have one ; didn't know wliere sucli a thing could be obtained.
This sufficed for a day or so, till Mrs. Jones came and began to relate how she saw a doe and two fawns under a light at such and such a lake, and then all regard or fear for the law was cast aside. One ingenious guest came to the res- cue with a jack made out of a soap box, with a tomato can for a reflector, but it wasn't a success. Then Miss Trout had a bright thought, made an experiment with her sweetheart one night and the next noon announced that her bicycle hmtern was just the thing for tlie pur- pose. From that time on, that light was kept busy every dark night, and guides paddled cautiously about the lake until the wee hours of the morning, just as cautiously as' if they expected to find a deer at every turn, but no deer were seen. .Ml sorts of reasons were given (the repu- tation of the cam])S had to be main-
tained) : "it. was too early in.tliescason ;" "tlie nights were not dark enough." and the like, but the guests were ijcrsistent, and would I'lOt have it.
The camp proprietor realized that; something must be done and done quickly. He hunted far and wide for a tame deer that he could tie out (ju the banks of the pond, iiut none could be found. Then he thought of bringing the camp cow into use. but feared discov- ery, and then the Doctor came to his relief with a suggestion.
The next morning Airs. New Woman electrified the camp a/Hh a thrilling description of how she found a "big buck" near the inlet, and how the guide had paddled within twenty feet of it — as near as he thought safe to go — while the deer stamped and whistled, pawing the water and raising and lowering his head menacingly. She dwelt particularly on the weirdness of the scene and told how the great glowing eyes, peering out into tlie darkness, fairly burned into her lirain.
That night the little bicycle lantern was at a premium. .\ny sum would have been paid for its use, and for ten nights following it was in constant demand. Yes, there surely was a liig buck on the shores of the pond, arid night after night lie was found at the inlet. The camp simply went "jacking" crazy.
Everybody was too enthusiastic to . notice tliat the Doctor and the camp pro- prietor were absent from camp each excning. Late one night, as a young man in the camp who had a fondness. for roaming aliout in the dark w;is making his way back to camp along an old tote mad, lie heard' something approaching rapidly, .and thinking it might be a wild anim.al, he slid into tnc bushes to wait. What was his surprise, a moment later, lo .see the Doctor an^i tiie camp propri- etor hurry iiast and on down the ro.-id
.\orriiw,\Kii-iio! — r.vc'.K iC
which led around the pond, past the inlet. They moved with great care and the Doctor carried something in his hand.
The young man's curiosity was aroused. He didn't like to spy, but he could not control the desire to see what was up. At first he thought he would call, but something restrained him and lie followed silently.
Presently tlie two men left the road and made their wav through the bushes
moment." There was a rustic in tlie bushes and all was still.
.•\ minute later tlic canoe was close by, the little lantern glaring like the door of a furnace. Just as its circle of light struck the shore the Doctor raised his arms high above his head and held some- thing aloft just above the tops of the bushes. Then there was a furious splashing in the water on the shore, and as it ceased a frenzied whisper floated slioreward from the canoe : "There he is I
"NICHT AFTER NIGHT HE WAS FOUND AT THE INLET*'
to the shore of the pond. The young man dropped to the ground and wormed his way close up to them, taking advan- tage of the moments when they were conversing in low tones, or chuckling to themselves.
Before long the jacklight was visible off on the water, its bright blaze bring' ing the shore line out with startling dis- tinctness, and it crept along the shore. Then the Doctor murmured softly : "Ready there, Tom ; they'll be on us in a
17 PAGE NORTHWARD-HO!
There he is!" and then the guide's mut- lerings : "Quiet, quiet, or you will frighten him!"
On crept the canoe cautiously, not a sound coming from the paddle or the occupants. As it did so the Doctor held a luirror aloft. It was covered with black cloth, in which were cut two round holes at the proper distance apart. This was lowered and raised alteruatel)', and with great deliberation, and from it two bright eyes gleamed out into the
darkness vvuirdly. The camp proprie- tor got more and more uneasy as tlie liglit drew nearer, stamping the earth with his fists, splashing the water and ■ whistling" vigorously. Closer crept the light, and then suddenly the "big buck" became frightened and dashed away through the bushes with a great crash- ing, almost crushing the life out of the young man on the ground.
A deep sigh floated across the w'ater from the canoe : "Wasn't it weird and thrilling? Oh my !"
Then a moment later : "Let's go up and see where he stood," and then the guide muttered something about its being pretty dangerous business, but he would if ]\Irs. Ilrown would risk it, and Mrs. Brown begged him to get away from the shore as fast as possible. The light whirled about sharply and grew fainter and fainter as it crept dow'n the shore of the pond, until at last it vanished around the point.
After a little while, the young man walked into camp, heard Airs. Brown, who had just returned, relate her experi- ence. The next night he went out for a look at the "big buck" himself just to see how it seemed from the other side. At breakfast the next morning he told his experience, like the rest, and said that though he had "jacked" many deer he had never seen it done more success- fully.
And Tom and the Doctor don't know to this day that their secret was ever dis- covered I
BIG CROWDS AT THE SAMOSET
Business to Date More than Double Any Previous Season in History
The SamOset at Rockland Break- water, is enjoying a remarkable season, the business to date being more than double that of any year in history, and August will find the hotel filled to its utmost capacity.
Without counting the number turned away for August, but judging from the volume of applications, over three hun- dred people have been unable to get accommodations because of lack of space.
This indication of the popularity of the place will be very gratifying to the hundreds of friends who have enjoyed its hospitality and who have commented upon its completeness and elegance.
Togue are Cannibalistic
To give an idea of the cannibalistic capacity of a lake trout, Mr. Le Baron C. Colt of Providence, tells of taking a 5-pound togue in the stomach of which he found thirty-two small salmon. At this rate it will be readily seen how badly these fish are handicapped in the process of multiplication.
We bear the togue no special fond- ness, but in fairness it should be stated that both trout and salmon are nearly as ravenous feeders, and it makes little dif- ference whether the fry is trout, togue or salmon.

THE HAUNTED GALLEON
By Herbert L. Jillson
\u |\/r'-'^^^'*^ around to the
^lUft^ IVX stern, I found enough |dp^ of the exquisitely wrought W' design left to make out the coat of arms of Spain, wliieh proclaimed her to be a royal ship. After gazing at the vessel with keenest interest, t'mding more and more pleasure as I came to appreciate lier rare beauty, I clambered aboard. Hardly had I set foot on deck when a horrible groan broke the stillness, issu- ing apparently from the hold. The weird stories of the people at the settle- ment flashed across my mind and for a moment my heart stood still. It was witli difficulty that I restrained myself from taking to my legs and vanishing in the forest, but common sense finally prevailed and I stood my ground. I listened as intently as I could above the loud beating of my heart, but only the dismal sound of the wind surging tlirough the trees greeted my ears.
I was about to proceed when the un- earthly sound broke forth again. Tliis time it seemed less human and did not frighten me as much. I started to inves- tigate. I peered cautiously into the liold. As I did so the groan echoed and re-echoed through its sombre depths. I listened. Presently I heard the sound again. This time it seemed to come from the outside and to shake the ship. I jumped oH the vessel and walked about it. After some searching I dis- covered where a brass plate on the
ship's side rested lightly against the soap\-, greasy rock. As the wind moved the big hulk to and fro, it caused the blood-curdling sound to whicli I have referred.
The discovery gave me new cour- age and once more I climbed on board and then wandered with eager interest from the gloomy depths of the deserted hold to the upper cabin in tlic stern, which swayed recklessly under my weight. There was little unusual out- side of the novelty of arrangement. The cabin, on the first deck at the stern, was a large square room. I found its floor strewn with bits of brass and rusty remains of iron, but nothing else, and after wandering about till tired, I turned my steps toward the settlement. But a strange craving to re-visit the old ship possessed me before I was well on my way and as a result I spent the nc.\t day and many following it, poking about bere and there on the old galleon.
After a time, I discovered that the cabin on the first deck at the stern was not as wide as that of either of those oil the decks above. The occurrence aroused my interest and I set about to investi- gate. Measurements convinced me that there was a secret room on the port side. I went outside, crawled upon the rocks and looked in tlirough the big seams in the timbers. I could see little, only something white gleaming faintly, just enough to arouse my interest. I sought vainly for an entrance ; tried to force the great planks aside with a timber,
and finally turned my s^teps lionK-ward reluctantly.
The next day fiuind me on hand early with a heavy iron bar which I had brought secretly. Something prompted me to keep my investigations to myself; why I know not. I worked away witliout result for a long time but when I least expected it, I pried out a big door, hung on heavy brass hinges whose fastenings had partially rotted away. It fell with a tremendous crash nearly putting an end to my investigations on board the old ship and elsewhere.
A long, narrows room of peculiar shape, was visible in the dim light which two small port holes high up in the stern, let in. A low, broad locker e.xtended along the ship's side. Something white rested at the farther end and I made my way toward it. .\s I drew near I saw that it was a human skeleton. The sud- denness of the discovery startled me for a moment, but as a youngster I had pos- sessed a fascination for collecting the skulls and bones of Indians, so numer- ous about my home in Taunton, and my fear soon changed to joy. I started for- ward eagerly. The skeleton was that of a woman. It lay stretched out of the locker intact, save for the right arm and some of the bones of the foot, which had fallen to tlie deck. The skull was in perfect condition and the teeth in it as white as ivory. Stuck fast in the ribs on the left side was a dagger or stiletto handle, fantastically fashioned from gold or silver, studded with jewels and surmounted by a crest representing a warrior's helmet beneath which was a manacled arm and hand, crushing an open-mouthed serpent, and tlie Latin inscription : "Scjiipcr Paratus."
The blade had rusted away close up to the handle. High up on the left arm of the skeleton rested an armlet or brace- let of gold, black with age. It bore the same crest as the dagger handle and, in addition, the coat of arms of Spain was emblazoned upon it. It measured six- teen inches in circumference and was nearly three inches wide. Various sym- bols were fashioned Iiere and there with
diamonds, rubies and emeralds. At intervals of about three inches, large jewels set in a circle of smaller stones, hung pendent by slender chains. A tiny key hung by a chain from the centre which unlocked the bracelet and I remember taking it off, and snapping it together and unlocking it with the admiration that a boy had for clever mechanical trifles. Just where the arm- let rested, there was an abnormal swell- ing on the bone of the arm, making it nearly twice its natural size. The bone was soft and spongy, as if it had been badly injured at some lime and healed imperfectly.
On the linger bones were many rings, in all of which were set large stones. Each bore a crest like the one on the dagger handle. On the locker close by, was a little pile of jewelry of varied designs, each adorned with the crest I have referred to. The jewelry did not interest me much. I had no knowledge then of precious stones, and what jewelry I had seen at home was the kind that could be purchased for a few cents. I regarded those treasures, which I now know must have been of priceless value, in much the same light.
My interest centred on the skeleton. I have stated that as a 3'oungster I had a fascination for gathering the bones and skulls of Indians which were so abundant near my home. I had found few skulls, however, that were not black and dirty, and I had never been able to find a complete skeleton. Vainly had I tried to make the bones that I found in different places fit into a perfect form, and to add to my discomfort, my parents persisted in throwing away everything of the kind that I brought home.
In consequence, the skeleton before me. so perfect and white, filled my boy- ish heart with positive rapture. I took the bones verj- carefull.v, one by one, to tlie deck and placed them in order. I remember that their size and beauty impressed me much and added to my glee at their discovery. Then to form an idea of the height of the person who once owned them, I lay down on the
NOR rllW.\Kll-HO ! — PAGE 8
deck alongside. I was a six footer and the skeleton must have belonged to some one nearly as tall as myself. Then as it was growing late, I reluctantly carried the skeleton back to the cabin, hid it with the jewelry under a pile of rubbish, and returned to the settlement.
On the following day, before the people were astir. I was on my way to the galleon with a stout box. I wrapped the jewels in seaweed and moss as I packed them in the bottom of the box, and putting the skeleton on top, nailed on the cover, took the box to the settle- ment and packed it in my ship chest. My companions, knowing my fondness for shells, rocks and old curios, tnani- fested no interest whatever in the occurrence.
Time dragged somewhat heavily on my hands after that. I was an.xious to reach home and display the splendid skeleton and strange jewelry to my comrades. It was purely a boyish de- sire, for I had no real idea of the iiumense wealth I had in the bo.x. Nine weeks passed before a home-going vessel put into the harbor. It was the brig "Laura," Capt. Reese (a Dane), master, bound for Baltimore from the Isthmus, with a cargo of rubber, hides and nuts. Many of the crew had died from fever and the survivors were ill and unable to manage the craft. When the crew recovered sufficiently, the ship started home, taking our crew along, allowing us to work our passage. From the very first, the captain and I didn't get along well. I didn't like his style — brutal and arbitrary.
Several days out, he came to me one afternoon, during my turn at the wheel, and complained of the way I was steering. The boat was a clumsy one to manage and it was with difficulty that I kept her on the course. I told him I was doing the best I could. He promptly called me a liar and I retaliated. He muttered something in Danish I couldn't understand and started for the cabin. I knew there was going to be trouble and I followed. I saw him open a chest
9 r.\GE — NOKTHWARD-Ilo I
and reach for a pistol. .As he did so I jumped on his back, secured the weapon, rushed on deck and threw it overboard. Then I called on our crew for protection. They sided with me and I wasn't troubled during the rest of the voyage, l>ut there was an ugly look in the captain's eyes that didn't make mc feel at home when he was near mc. The rest of the trip was unevent- ful and in due time we reached Balti- more and, after some delay, docked. Hardly had the ropes been fastened when a police sergeant accompanied by a detail, stepped on board and arrested me on a cliarge of mutiny and attempt at murder. I protested but it was of no avail and 1 was lugged off to a cell where 1 languished for three days be- fore I succeeded in clearing myself, by proving that not having signed as a member of the crew, I was not subjected to the captain's orders. When I returned to the ship my comrades had gone. I found my ship chest ripped open, everything of value missing and the box gone. I could get no satisfac- tion, no explanation, from any one. Helpless to act, I was obliged to depart empty-handed.
Nearly three years passed. I had given up all hope of ever hearing any- thing of the skeleton, or of the strange jewelry, when one afternoon in the spring of i860, while reading a copy of the .VcTC Yiiyk Herald on Boston Com- miin. my e\ e happened to fall on the fol- lowing notice in the personals:

NOVKLTY ..\ND SURPRISE
While Saturday's cotillion was im- iniiniptu. arranged on short notice by the younger people, it was none the less delightful because of its informality, en- joyed liy participants and a company of onlookers which taxed the capacity of the Music hall. Fun and frolic, surprise and novelty, reigned throughout ; the fig- ures of the character to amuse and enter- tain.
.\mong the most novel was the set in whicli couples were seated back to back, turning at a signal ; the unfortunate young man who did not turn the same way as his fair partner, being relegated to tlic side lines, there to watch a rival, more fortunate, in the dreamy mazes of the waltz which concluded the number.
The familiar potato race was given in new form, the trick being to stand a Pnland water bottle upon its unsteady end and then place a potato on top, the young men accomplishing the somewh.it delicate trick first, winning a dance, while the unfortunate slow ones were forced to follow the dancers aljout tlie
lldor in .in attempt to protect them from tlie glare of the electric lights with ])ar;i- sols.
Partners were also secured by lilinving out candles which the young women, perched high up on chairs, held exas- peratingly out of reach, the iirst to ex- tinguish the flame carrying off the God- dess of Light.
The ping pong or tennis figure pro- \ iiled a lively scramble, the possession of a ball meaning a dance, and the crack- ing-the-whip figure was carried out on tlie follow-the-man-from-Cook's plan, creating plenty of excitement and some harndess tumbles.
.\mong the most picturesque numbers of the evening was the chariot race, one young woman driving iWe young men. and a young man I'we youn.g women, in .'i mad race about the hall, meeting at the liead of the hall and steeds and cliariot- eers dancing together.
The curtain figure was given added interest liecause of the presence of a doll baliy at the other end of one of the rib- bons by which partners were selected, and with which the unlucky young luan or young woman was obliged to dance, much to personal discomfiture and gen- eral amusement.
Mr. and JNIrs. George W. Elkins, Jr.. of Philadelphia, were the leaders and to them much of tlie enjovnient of the e\en- ing was due. .\ssisting were the pa- tronesses, including Mrs. Isaac P.. Jnliii- son of Spuyten Duyvil, Mrs. James (i. Lindsay of Philadelphia. Mrs. H. P. Dixon of Wallingford, Mrs. S. M. In- m.iii of .\tlanta, and Mrs. Willard P. Vose of lirookline.

ROOFED BY MOTHER BEAR
Ramagious Mrs. Bruin Corrals Prohibition Exponent at Attean Lake — Golf and Tennis at Belgrade
V ^ I'A/T^'-^ wilik-riK'SS plcas- ^IBk«' i.» A urcs. line I'lsliing and ^Hp^ i.-.\pcric'nces with big game, ^f visitors at Attean Camps, Jackman, arc linding plenty to l<eep them occupied, delightful weather and the return of many old friends contributing nuich to the pleas- ure of all.
Just at present, little groups on the cabin porches are discussing the novel experience of Clark Jenkins, an em- ployee of the camps, who was "treed" by a she-bear on the roof of a lumber camp at Hatchery Brook directly across the lake, and kept there until "rescued" by Mr. William E. Braman of Provi- dence.
Jenkins had crossed the lake in the launch for prohiliition spring water, landing at the inlet. While proceeding up the brook leisurely with the water jugs in hand, his attention was attracted by a crashing sound. Turning, he saw a mother bear and two cubs regarding liim. Without stopping to figure out tlie mood of Mrs. Bear, Jenkins dropped his burden, made a sprint for an old lumber camp and pulled hiiuself up to the roof.
.\ moiuent later Mrs. Bruin came lum- bering along the hot trail, stopping en route to sniff at the water jugs and ex- press her disgust in grunts. A carefid investigation of the foundation of the cabin and an estimate as to its height followed, and then she settled down directly beneath her victim, prepared to wait with such patience as only a bear can show. Just how long the siege would h.ivc lieen maintained, no one can lell. liut for the timely intervention of Mr. Braiuan.
Happening along in .'i cinoe, the Providence man spied llie laimch and imiucdiatcly saw an iii)|)urlunily for a
ride instead of a paddle across the lake. The d;iy was hot and the prospect invit- ing, so he settled down to wait for the return of the pilot. Jenkins did not appear promptly, so Mr. Braman called his name loudly, and faintly, and gratefully the answer came from the camp roof:
"Here I am, Braman; treed by a she bear and two cubs! Better make for camp and call out the guard."
But Mr. Braman was armed and he loves conquest. The idea of bear steaks was also enticing, not to mention an ele- gant bear-skin rug, so he approached quietly, and pusliing back the bushes took careful aim with his big revolver and fired. When the smoke cleared Mrs. Teddy and the little Teddies were making for tlie middle distance as fast as their stuliliy legs could carry them and another precious life was saved ; not only in the bear family, but on the camp roof as well !
The only tangible excuse for the bear's action offered here is that the jugs were not only empty, but water jugs at that! Such a condition of affairs in proliibition Maine is considered so unusual that even a bear has a riglit to lie indignant. In future spring water will lie transported to camp in carboys which even a bear can recognize at a glance.
Naturally Mr. Braiuan is very much of a hero here in spite of the fact that his reputation as a marksman has suf- fered somewhat.
Moose ;ire frequently seen in the vicinity, the logaiis of the Moose River begin a f,-ni>rite retreat, and deer are abundant everywhere, prophesying great sport for the mipiiths to come. A herd of six deer nia\' be found almost any evening playing mi the beach across the

lake, half a mile away, wholly uncon- scious of eyes which study them at close range, by aid of field glasses.
Attean Rips continues to maintain its reputation among the anglers, the liest of recent catches being a string of thirty-five 2 and j; pound trout, taken by Mr. and Mrs. Long of El Paso, Texas, will) leave after a pleasant stay here planning to return with a large parly, for liunting in the fall. The best fish of the season is a 5^4 pounder, landed bv the man the Iiear hunted.

2700 MILES WITHOUT TROUBLE
Prominent Boston Autoists Find Maine Roads to Their Liking
.Among the many recent motor tour- ists in the Rangeley region, were Mr. G. B. White and Air. F. O. White, prom- inent Boston financiers, who are touring the North Woods in a 35 H. P. six cyl- inder Stevens-Duryea car of the "baby tourabout" type.
Since June sixth they have eaten up -'.700 miles without luechanical or other trouble and they hope to cover as much more space just as easily.
They are enthusiastic over the roads, saying that there is a bad stretch from Portsmouth to Portland, but after that they are in tine condition. They pre- dict that as these roads and their at- tractions become better understood the number of tourists will multiply very rapidly, for they are confident that many are now laboring under the im- pression that the Northern Alaine roads are not adapted for luotor cars.

THE HAUNTED
By Herbert L. Jillson
LEON
VT7 ^T WROTE i 111 m ediately, ^|Bl«' -'- asking that the box be ^H|^ sent to me, the rightful owner. ^rj and waited anxiousl_v fur a reply. After a few days, a polite answer came asking that J send the story connected with the lind- ing of tlie articles in the box. but mak- ing no answer whatever to n'y demand that they be sent to me. I repeated my request, offering to give up everything else if they would send me the skeleton, for I still looked upon the jewelry indif- ferently. My request was refused very gracefully, the writer saying that the contents of the box belonged to the Spanish government which was anxious to learn the history of their discovery, and that I had no legal claim upon them. The writer closed by again making an urgent request that I explain how I came in possession of the articles. My reply was a somewhat indignant one. For months I waited for an answer, but none came.
Later, happening to put in at Balti- more. I made my way to the address mentioned in Mr. Dclavan's letters. I found a magnificent brownstone resi- dence, located in one of the wealthiest portions of the city. I hesitated a mo- ment after climbing the broad marble staircase to the door, realizing how hope- less it would be for me, a poor sailor- youth, friendless and unknown, to at- tempt to deal witli a man of such influ- ence and power. ^\t last I summoned courage and rang the bell. A liveried
darkey appeared in response. I inquired if Mr. I.X'lavan was in, reading his full name from one of the letters which I held in my liand. I was very brusquely informed that no such person resided tlierc. I insisted that there must be some mistake and showed the letter, but as a reply the door was slammed abruptly in my face.
The years have passed rapidly since tlien. Wanderings here and there have occupied by attention. I have said lit- tle about tlie experience wliich I have related, because when I told it, people only laughed incredulously, or tapped their heads suspiciously, when I became too earnest. At last. I determined never to refer to the story again. Recently, however, 1 have come across a transla- tion from the Spanish entitled, "The Buccaneers of the Gulf," where among other things, I find the following :
THE r.VTE OF THE DE C.VSTRGS
"In the year of 1663 Spain having set- tled a peace with France, fitted out an expedition to bring home the revenues due from her colonies in the New World. The expedition consisted of three ships, two frigates which were to act as convoys, and a new galleon or treasure-ship, the "Hispaniola." The fleet was placed in command of Captain Manuel de Castro, who, though but twenty-two years of age, was considered one of the most able and trustworthy, as well as one of the bravest officers in
the Spanish navy. He was accompanied by his twin sister Inez, who ahiiost in- variably went with her brother on his voyages, On a previous trip, Capt. de Castro's ship had an engagement with a French vessel, much her superior in size. During the fight, the enemy boarded the Spanish vessel and Capt, dc Castro engaged the French commander.
During the duel his foot slipped in a pool of blood, he fell and was at the mercy of the Frenchman wdiose sword was raised for the final blow, when sud- denly Inez threw herself between the warriors and received the weapon on her arm, thereby giving her brother time to regain his feet, when he at once killed his assailant. The blow that Inez received was a fearful one and for weeks it was thought she would lose her life, but by careful treatment she finally recovered, the wound leaving a large scar which disfigured her arm for life. When the De Castros returned to Spain, the King commanded them to appear at court where he placed with great cere- mony on Inez's arm, over the scar, a broad band of gold, richly set with jewels and emblazoned with the royal arms of Spain and the crest of De Cas- tros',
"Perhaps it may interest the reader to know something of the personal appear- ance of this remarkable brother and sis- ter, Manuel is described as being fully six feet in height, of fair complexion, his head covered with thick golden ring- lets, bright blue eyes and a mouth as gentle as a woman, Inez was nearly as tall as her brother, a very Juno in stat- ure, perfect in form, with a complexion of the dark Spanish type, hair and eyes as black as night. They were the last of a noble line who for five hundred years had held places as warriors and statesmen, and it was a sad day when Manuel and Inez bade good-bye to the old people, who seemed to have a pre- sentment that they never would return, F'rom one of the lofty turrets of their grim old castle which stood near the sea. they watched the sails of the fleet until they disappeared in the distance.
"In due time, the ships arrived in the New World and touched at different places taking on the treasures which were principally in bullion and ingots. The last port touched at was Havana in the Island of Cuba, and when they sailed away from there, the treasure on board the Hispaniola amounted to up- wards of $7,000,000. Three days after leaving Havana, one of those terrific hurricailes which are so frequent in the West Indies, came on. When the storm had cleared away, the frigates were in sight of each other, but the Hispaniola had disappeared. The convoys sailed in every direction with the hope of find- ing her but not the slightest trace was discovered and it was supposed that she had gone down in the gale with all on board. They finally resumed the home- ward trip reluctantly and on arrival reported the probable loss of the treas- ure ship.
"There were two in Spain, however, who still hoped, watching day after day from the old tower; sending eagerly to inquire if there was any news of the missing Hispaniola whenever a ship arrived. At last the mother, like a weary child, went to her long rest and in a few weeks the father closed his eyes in the sleep which knows no waking.
"More than fifty years passed away, and nothing was heard of the missing treasure-ship, until, one day, a small fishing vessel, sailing in the Carib- bean Sea, driven from her course, landed on a small island called Santa Catherina. A hundred yards or so from the shore the fisherman found an old Spanish ship very much weather-beaten, but otherwise in good condition. She was high up on the rocks, where she had evidently been cast up by some great tidal wave. On going aboard, the men found the deck covered with human skeletons. Being very superstitious they fled in terror. Going at once to the nearest Spanish port they related their discovery. Some of the government officers persuaded them to return with them and the ship -wjas found to be the long lost Hispaniola.
iNURTHW,\RI)-HO ! — PACE 8
"Ill scarcliiiig the ?hip, the treasure was found undisturbed, but the most sin- gular discovery was that revealed hy the twelve skeletons whicli lay in the cabin at the stern of the boat. Eleven had rusty cutlasses gripped tightly in their bony lingers, and one, a pistol. One, miicli taller tlian the rest, about which the others lay in a semi-circle, seemed to have died with his back to the side of the ship, as if defending himself. On the ankle bones were anklets with the connecting chain broken in twain. From the left wrist hung a pair of liand- cuffs and in the right hand, which was free, was an unusually large cutlass. In the foreheatl was a hole made by a bul- let which was found fastened in the bone inside the skull. There was no doubt but that this skeleton was the remains of Captain de Castro.
"It is supposed that after the His- paniola became separated from her con- voys there was a mutiny : the sailors seizing the ship and killing all of the officers but the captain who was placed in irons ; after which the crew, who numbered thirty, quarreled among them- selves over the treasure uutil only eleven were left. About this time, Captain de Castro evidently freed himself, obtained a cutlass and attacked the whole gang, killing or wounding them all before he was shot with the pistol, probably by one of the crew who was mortally wounded. One thing which seemed very singular was that the fight took place in the cabin on the lirst deck, a part of the ship a long distance from the treasure chamber in the hold.
"Of his sister Inez, there was discov- ered not the slightest trace ;uid it is supposed that she jumped overboard to escape a worse fate."
My discovery of the existing history concerning the queer vessel on which I passed so many delightful hours, and with which is connected the strangest experience of my soinewdiat eventful life, has prompted me to write the storj' out. I have done so, dear reader, and I pray your indulgence.
Sv.Nor.sis of tlie two preceding cliapters — .\ sailor lad cast ashore on the island of Santa Catherina, makes many startling discoveries. Among them is a Spanish treasure ship, the "Hispaniola," said to be haunted, which he explores, linding a secret state room. In this he finds a woman's skeleton, with an old bracelet on the arm bone, which bears evidence of injury, and a wealth of strange jewelry, each piece bearing a family crest and a Latin inscription. These he packs in a box and secrets in his cliest on board the ship by which he departs. On arrival at Baltimore the lad is arrested on a charge of mutiny, and imprisoned. Returning to the ship, on his release, he finds his chest ripped open and liis precious box gone with no clue to its whereabouts. Three years later he sees an advertisement in the .\'i'a' l'()/7,- Herald asking for informa- tion concerning the box, and here the si-cond chapter ends.

|fl|^ more to its high character tliaii ^r 7 t h e a n n u a 1 exhibition of American art. emphasizing as it does, the dignity and exehi- siveness, retmement and cuUiire of the place. Probaljly at no other resort in the world is a similar exhiliition main- tained upon the same lines and it be- speaks \olumcs for the generosity and public spirit of the management, for. I'mancially. it is what would, elsewhere, be considered an expensive luxury.
In many ways the exhil)itii>n raid<s a^ the most important of tlie tliirleen wbicli have preceded it. delightful in its charming diversity of landscapes, ma- rines, portrait, figure and flower sub- jects, miniatures and sculpture.
Added interest is also given by the presence of several pictiu'es painted especially for the exhibition, and nnich has been made of the peculiar and attractive features of the gallery m hanging and arrangement, the light be- ing admirable by both day and evening. Each alcove contains some surprise, some treasure and, never viewed in its entirety, the collection holds its admir- ers captive day after day. and week after week. Like a rare book, one stud- ies it again and again, always with new pleasure and added understanding

Hill" ( Xo, 85). by Hermann Dudley -Murphy. ;i broad, simple and \et power- fid treatment, of cool, blue distance set oh' by a vvarm, greenish-ochre fore- .ground, a strong clump of trees in the middle distance, giving character, "'riie Surf" ( Xo. 70). by the same artist, is a dainty bit of color as fascinating as a piece of Sevres,
.\nother refreshing canvas is "Tower- ing Clouds" ( Xo. 96). by William J. Kaula ; a simple landscape with a won- drous sky of wind clouds, and a bunch of slender trees. Walter L. Dean sliows a crisp, fragrant, decorative study of surf in "Off White Head" ( Xo. 82), and H. 11. Gallison a liroad and effective impressionistic treatment of sunlight and shadow in mountain scenery. "Sun- set" ( Xo. 74). CuUen Vates sends a moonlight ( Xo. 45) with nnich of Corot's sulitlety of color.

Fry shows in ".\n Idyll of the Grand Canyon" (Xo. 9), a large cativas of much strength and rich color, .and Mrs. Fry a small canyon picture ( Xo. 47) and a dainty autumn pastel ( Xo. 105). Edmund C. Tarbell and Childe Hassam send impressionistic landscapes (Xos. 54 and 63), similar in subject and excellently handled, the for- mer possessing strength and the latter delicacy.

MIDSEASON MERRYMAKING
Country Supper, Candy Pull, Corn Roast, Musicale and Ball Game Fill Out "Week at Poland Spring
V~"ni\ yr IDSEASOX merrymak- ^UK^ IVA ing has rounded out ^B|^ a week of rare enjoyment ^7 at Poland Spring, a week long to be pleasantly remembered because of its unique charac- ter; Mrs. H. P. Dixon, Mrs. S. M. In- nian, Mrs. Benj. E. Cole and others, proving themselves charming entertain- ers.
As for affairs in the open air there liavc been many, Tuesday's ball game, tlie women's golf championship and two riding parties bringing together groups of congenial people on sport and pleas- ure l)ent.
MRS. DIXOn's GUF.STS
Among the most delightful of tlie week's social diversions and one of the most unique occasions of its kind ever given here, was a "country supper" given at Dry ?ilills, by Mrs. H, P. Dixon of Wallingford, Pa., for a large party of friends, replete with novelty and sur- prise, merriment and good cheer reign- ing supreme.
The party left the hotel late in the afternoon, autos, saddle horses and car- riages conveying them to the rendez- vous, eight miles distant, the return home being made by the late moonlight. Spread in the open, lantern-lit pavillion. was a long table decorated with wild flowers and lighted by candles stuck in bottles, with rustic favors at each plate ; a porcupine made of bright red apples and toothpicks for the women, and corncob pipes for the men, and a monster sour pickle as the "first course" for each and all.
Then maidens, in country garb, brought on the goodies — delicious broiled spring chicken, sweet and juicy green corn, mealy potatoes and, last of all, luscious doughnuts in shiny tin pans, creamy cheese on blue platters, amlx-r
coffee in monster white cups, witli mixed candy, stick candy and popcorn for dessert.
'A'lid the fragrant aroma of corncobs, the merrymaking began, songs and laughter awakening woods' echoes, the arrival of a real country orchestra, cow- hide boots, jeans, fiddle and all, setting the feet of both young and old a-twitch- ing, one of the older couples starting the fim with a cake walk in which many joined, dancing and general merrymak- ing rounding out hours which passed all too quickly.

Among tlio novel affairs of the week. and an occasion of mucli enjoyment, was a snrprise candy indl, arranged for tile younger set by ^Irs. S. M. Innian, whose interest and originality adds so ninch to the social life of tlie place.
Some tliirty of the Nomiger people were included in the invitation list and drawn to the kitchen on some slight pre- text, where they found two cleverly dis- guised chefs hard at work in the prep- aration of making delicious molasses candy.
Later came a candy pull with a |irize for tlie most expert confectioner, Mr. 1). C. Nugent. Jr., carrying off tile tro- phy, after all sorts of amusing compli- cation.s. which resulted from a lack of knowledge of the re.il affection molasses candy can show when gi\en the oppor- ttuiity.
So cleverly did the cliefs ( Mr. G.arret A. Holiart and George W. Elkins, Jr.) carry out their part that several of the generous men in the party insisted upon loading them down with liberal tips as a slight evidence of appreciation for stay- ing indoors when they might have been enjoying the moonlight.
The company included much the same group that enjoyed Tliursday evening's ride and for a downright frolic it will long lie remembered.

Interot in affairs out of doors cen- tred in Tuesday afternoon's ball game between the "guests" and "bell hops," the former winning by nine to eight in pl.iy wliich \ea> red hot from start to tinisli, the guests gaining the lead at the hrst try at the bat, but with their opponents close after them throughout.
Several hundred people enjoyed the game, awakening to the fact that there are at least eighteen real ball players on the hilltop and. without doubt, the game will lie the first of many, for the victors ;tre naturally "chesty," and the losers "determined."
Errors were few .and hits less, but reckless base rnnnin.g and snappy work on the inlield ,nul out. willi always the possibilify that the "under dogs" would tie the score, kept interest keyed high.
The features of the game were an assist by Elliott, who robbed Colomy of a hit by fielding a fast one to first, and IMkins' ste.il linnie in tlie last inning and

Hardly a week passes that they do not bring in line strings, recent catches including a luimlier oi fine bass ranging from 2 to .S'4 pounds in weight and running from a dozen to a score in numbers. .\nd it is more for sport than for fishing that these anglers assemble, Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Elkins being chums of years ac- quaintance and as much "boys" when together to-day. as they were forty years ago. Many are the frolics they enjoy while waiting for the bass to bite, and they add to the zest and interest of life as the years cross the meridian.

HIGHBALLS AND STRAIGHTS
Novel Pitching Served at Game Between Kineo Guests and Regulars — Other Events of Busy W^eek
WO X D R O U S Aiigusl days of crisp air and
|flR^ yliirious sunshine, have kept ^F 7 Kinoo's great crowd of mid- season visitors much out of doors during" the week past, and as for diversion, there has hcen lit- tle to be desired.
Golf and rifle shooting, riding and driving, canoeing and fishing have been happily mingled with informal social pleasures, a real old time, laughter pro- voking baseball farce the week's special attraction.
BASEU.\LL CL.MMS LIOn's SHAKE
Baseball is claiming a lion's share of attention, the season's games indicating very clearfy that this season's team is the snappiest ever gathered here. Not only are the boys quick on their feet and steady in their work, but the nine possesses what it has lacked for several years past, a goodly percentage of hard and sure hitters. Always Kineo has had the advantage over visitors in fielding, owing to the peculiarities of the grounds, but this year with the added advantage of an even start with the willow, they are making it warm for all comers.
The bright and particular stars of the aggregation are the two crack pitchers, Dury A. Nordeen of the Williston Semi- nary team, and William S. Monroe of Bridgton, with Joseph F. Doran of Wil- liston, behind the bat. Onia H. Chaf- fee of the Ormond, Florida, team, will again hold down first, with Frank Fel- lows of the Eastern Maine Conference School, at second, Clarence W. Smith of the crack Carolina team, Pinehurst, N. C, ,it third, and Captain James Scales covering short. Frank Fitzgerald, cap- tain of the old Kineo's — "home run Fitz" — speedy Xelson A. Scales of the
I'niversity of Maine, and B. S. Haley of Williston, make up the balance of the team, the pitchers alternating in the field wdien they are not in the box or on the bench.
HICH B.\LLS AND .STRAIGHTS
A ball game between the "regulars" and the "guests" filled in an open date, Thursday afternoon ; the latter winning with the help of Umpire Prince, 4 — 11 — 44 to Skiddoo — 2^.
There was no end of fun, Manager Judkins' heavy hitting resulting in the presentation of a monster lianquet by admiring friends, and C. M. Clark's pitching in a lame arm.
The "spliere" used w-as a trifle smaller than a footljall, 'and most of the curves were liigh balls with a few straights for chasers !
.\T THE KIFLK I'.UTTS
Easily the most interesting rifle tour- nament of the season was the special tournament for the beautiful trophies presented by Mrs. E. H. Outerbridge, (|uite a crowd assembling to follow the match, and added interest being given by the presentation of two trophies for second and third prizes for women, by Mr. L. B., Adams of New York, and a second prize for men, by ]\Ir. H. C. Warren of New Haven,

ABOUT "MOTORING ABROAD"
^^ithout Doubt the Summer's Most Delightful 'Volume
Among the most delightful books of the summer is "Motoring Abroad," by Frank Presbrey, (Outing Publishing Company ) of particular interest in XoRTHW.\RD-Ho ! territory owing to the general enjoyment of touring.
Xot a dull page is there from cover to cover, and the reader is carried through Xormandy, Brittany, Tourainc, Eng- land, Scotland and Wales, chapter by chapter, with illustration and text. In addition is a final word, "Practical sug- gestions to those contemplating a for- eign motor trip," replete with the keen oliservations and wise advice of a shrewd ol)Server.
Mr. Presbrey is not only a fluent writer with an appreciative eye for the beautiful, liut a keen appreciation for the humorous which adds a spice to almost every page of the volume.
The type is large ,clear and clean, the paper wide margined and deckle-edged, artistic ornaments, and a wealth of half-tones, made from snap shots taken by the author, combine with the two color cover in making a volume of ex- ceptional beauty.

Taken all and all, the event marks a new era in the history of the game here, for already plans are making for the "second annual" event with the idea of having it the most important contest of the summer.
CHICK WINS GOLD MEDAL
Interest began with the somewhat sensational surprise of the opening day's play and the defeat of Walter J. Travis by W. C. Chick in the race for the qual- ification gold medal. With the players at either end of the bracket the crowd was cjuick to foresee a second and lin.il meeting, and it gave added interest from that time on.
Mr. Chick's qualification rounds were two even thirty-sevens, to thirty-nine and forty-one for his opponent, rather slow .going for the Garden City player and not quite what the Oakley man is capalile of, but the fact that Travis was outplayed made up for any discrepancy in the scores. The cards :

In third position Clayton G. Dixon and II. M Forrest tied at eighty-two each, the balance of the field llnishcd close up with eighty-nine and a triple tie, marking the limit of admission to the lirst division, H. P. Dixon winning from X. Allen Pettit and Herbert K. Gutter- son in the play-off.
Xinety-eight settled it in the second. Seward W. Ehrich winning the play-off from David Lamson, and one hundred and sixteen was the score which landed L. Werner in the fag end of the third division for which a special cup was pro- vided through the generosity of W. II. Childs.
TR.WIS WIXS CH,\MPI0NSHIP
The entire colony turned out cii iimssc for Saturday 's thirty-six hole finals, with the Travis-Chick contest as the star attraction, and there were few moments during play when the dropping of a pin wouldn't have sounded like a thunder clap.
It was soon apparent that the Garden City player had the Oakley man on the go, for Mr. Travis had the match well in hand from the start, polishing off a couple of thirty-nines in the morning rounil, to an equal nuinlier of forty- tlirces for Mr. Chick, retiring for luncheon four up.
The afternoon round at a record gait of thirty-four settled the score, the match ending on the twenty-eighth green, ten up and eight to play, for the man who has time and time again, proved himself invincible in thirty-six hole matches.
N'ORTHW.\RD-HO ! — I'AllE 22
Mr. Travis while not at Iiis very best, was playing a clean-cut. steady game, •ovcrcciming the effect of a high wind by long, low drives, deadly on short ap- proaches and sure on putts. Mr. Chick was Ijadly handicapped by the wind lie- cause of his "hook" shots which the wind took strong hold of and played sad havoc with. In addition he was. ap- parently, a trifle conscious on the put- ting greens, failing to run down a mnn- bcr of short ones that would have meant wins.
HUGH H.\I,SELL AND \V. W. I,IXSLKV
The second division or Maine State cup, went to Hugh Halsell wdio defeated Dr. E. Winslow Taylor, nine up and ^e\en to play, in the tinal round: the third division or special W. H. Childs' cup. went to \V. W.Linsley who defeated Davis Pearson, four up and three to play.
There were a number of close matches, among them three carried to the nineteenth green and one that took twenty holes to decide it.

THE MAINE SPORTING CAMP
'What it Really is and 'Why it Claims New Friends in Increasing Numbers Season After Season
npU]' ^lAIXE ■'sporting A cMiiiii." as it is ill reality, is littk' uiulerstood by those who have not visited it. -\t the sportsmen's exhibitions, to lie sure, one may have seen sample camps, but an Impression fonned from these imitations would be far from correct; tliey give a very inadequate idea. Within the pas* few years, com- paratively- speaking, sporting camps have been springing up at favorable locations all over northern Maine. The proprietors are generally guides who have seen a possibility to make money through the venture. Each camp has its "preserve," so called. The greater part of the wild lands of northern Maine are owned by men or companies of men, who, on account of their vast lumber- ing wealth, often will not sell at any price, and the figures set when the lands are on the market, are beyond the reach of any save millionaires. The land owners are willing, however, to lease "sporting privileges," so called, for a term of years at prices varying from $25 to $100 per year. This gives the lessee right to build cabins on the land and to go over it. c.iniping at will, cutting such wood as is necessary for cabins, wharves, rafts, fuel and the like. Others cannot camp upon the land without the consent of the lessee, hut the State makes all lands and all water public so far as crossing them is concerned, and one may fish or hunt them at will, so long as he does not build fires or camp upim them. Each sporting camp has from one to five townships, e.'ieh six miles square, in its preserve.
This gives a large territory, numer- ous ponds and streams for fishing, waters where deer congregate in the summer and forests where big game roams in the autumn. The camp man-
ager opens up this land. There is a "home camp" at a central point and as convenient to the main road as possi- ble, anil trails are cut to the best fish- ing and hunting grounds, where cabins and lean-tos are erected according to the nature of the territory. At the most important of these branch ponds canoes are placed in order to avoid the neces- sity of carrying them through the woods when guests desire to visit the places. If there is a mountain near at hand, or a place of special interest, a trail is cut to that and a feature made of it as a tramp.
The ideal location for a sporting camp is at a point where a large mileage through rivers and lakes opens up for canoeing and at the same time a vast country for tramping from the nearby shores. If one can be fortunate in having a railroad close by another card is played, but these ideal locations are few, and the majority of the camps are not so favorably situated. The extent of territory enables the proprietor to handle a large number of people of varying tastes — those who desire the comforts of the home camp continually, others who want a little rougher fare, and the sportsman who desires nothing better than the lean-to or deserted lum- lier camp.
The typical home camps arc models in their way and every art and craft known to the backwoods, and much of civilization is used to make them at- tractive and comfortable. They are located on some ri\er or pond, backed by the ffirest, and at a central point with a good view of water, forest and moun- tains. The number of cabins varies from six to twenty, and thej' are usually of two sorts, single and double. The single camps are about 16 feet by 22 in size and some 6 feet high to the eaves.
.NORTHW.\R1.)-IIO ! — I'.4GE 24
The roof is of "splits." shingles made Ijy splitting cedar with a "frow," and the floor is of boards if there is a sawmill near, and if not, of hewn logs. There are single sash windows on either side and the rough logs, chinked with uioss, are often concealed from view on the interior, by a lining of splits or birch bark.
The furnishings consist of two wide beds located on either side at the ex- treme end of the cabin, a table, and
oaliins very unique and artistic. Bright colored curtains at the windows and draperies upon the shelves, together with guns and rods hung upon deer feet and wooden pegs, further delight the artistic senses. There are numerous shelves to hold the many things the visitor needs, hooks for clothes made by nailing up forked sticks cut to the proper length, or driving in rough wooden pegs, and here and there little oddities ; a match liox of liirch bark, an etching on a bit

comfortable easy chairs, of the folding pattern. Located in a corner at the front of the cabin is either a rustic fire- place made of stones, or a little wood stove. The former method of heating is the most popular, for there are few nights and mornings in Maine, spring, summer or autumn, when a fire is not comfortable and a cheery blaze is always very delightful to chat by, or to watch flicker on the ceiling after one has re- tired. These furnishings, home made and rustic, together with the cabin lin- ing and the dim light let in by the small, low windows, make the interior of these
of fungus, and the like. A broad porch springs from the front of the cabin wdiere one may sit or swing in a ham- mock. It will be seen that a man and his wife or a couple of sportsmen may be very comfortable in this little home, for a long or short stay, making head- quarters for such trips as they desire to make from time to time.
Tlie double cabins are much the same, only larger. There is a main living room in the center with tha fireplace at the end, and four rooms, each with a bed, on the sides. The porch is larger and tlie roof Iiighcr. thereby letting in

more light. These cabins hold four. supposedly, and the single cabins are adapted to four persons who are well acquainted. The dining-room is a large separate cabin joined on to a kitchen which rests at the rear. The rough tables are concealed with clean linen, and plain crockery and knives answer as well as silver and china. The inte- rior of this cabin is lined and there are numerous trophies — mounted heads and fish, outline of big trout, bits of moss, birds' nests, birds' wings, and the like upon the walls for decoration.
There is usually a separate cabin, or casino, for general assembly, social evenings, entertainments and the like. Here are card tables and chairs invari- ably, and oftentimes magazines, papers and sometimes a piano. A rustic fire- place is a central feature.
The food is good. In the summer there are toothsome fried trout three times a day if one wishes, and in the autumn plenty of venison. A cow fur- nishes milk, while a little garden sup- plies few or many vegetables according to its location. There are delicious ber- ries during the summer. Sparkling spring water is always found.
It will be readily seen that the home camp is entirely "suitable for ladies," and it seems very queer to camp man- agers that this question is asked again and again each year, in letters.
The branch or back camps are not so lu.xuriously fitted out, but even ladies who are fond of roughing it often find tlieir way to them and come back de- lighted. These camps have supplies, but a guide is necessary to visit them enjoy- ably. This personage does the cooking, paddles the canoe, shows where the fish
and game are, and makes liimself valu- able as only a guide can. A cook stove helps the cuisine and one forgets that the table dishes are of tin, the dining table covered with oil cloth, the beds of boughs, and that blankets take the place of sheets.
Farther "in" is the lean-to or tent and the meals are cooked by the camp fire, a portable baker being used to bake bread. The farther in one goes the rouglier becomes the task and the less- the larder affords, but the country is wilder and fish and game abound in astonishing numbers. Here is where the sportsman goes and stays after once tasting the wild life.
It is not strange that year after year Maine is becoming more and more a resort for people who seek rest and recreation as well as sport with fish and game. Rangeley and Moosehead have every luxury to be found at any resort, but tlie sporting camps seek to cater only to those who love the woods and tlie magnificent sport they offer, to- gether with necessary material comforts. For a place to rest quietly and es- cape the noise of the city or the con- fusion of the overpopulated summer re- sort, the camps have no equal.
The actual sporting season is from the middle of May until the last of June and from September 1st until De- cember. During July and August the sporting camp is only such in name, and the proprietor strives to fill his cabins witli family parties. Each year the numbers who come for weeks and months during this period are increas- ing. Maine sporting camps as "summer resorts" are as yet little known, but "loving friends" are good advertisers.

THE BEAR "SuNTS REGINALD
One of Pete's Yarns
VT,^T3EGINALD had failed to
^HJK«- -^^ pass his college "exams''
^H^ and so it happened he was in
^r 7 the Elaine wilderness for the
snmmer. restaurating for a
winter's tutoring. '"Money is
no object, put the hoy in good shape.''
wrote the father to his favorite guide,
and so Reginald "went in" with two
guides instead of one ; Joe. to look after
his pensonal welfare and safety, and
Pete, a French-Canadian cook, to make
the meals something which would add
pounds in weight and be memories, long
after the trip was over.
Reginald was a likely lad, well built and athletic, and fond of out door life. He could liold his own with the sinewy woodsmen on the trail, do his share of paddling on lake or river, and he loved the wild, free life and its excitement, but he bad his weakness — every man has — and tliat was a fear of bears.
No sooner had he left civilization than he began to look for them and his ideas concerning their habits were evidently based on grizzly information, always listening" for their fierce growls as an indication that they smelled human blood, and ever and anon querying:
"Wha-as that ? Isn't that a bear's growl?" or "Look here, quick, Joe, isn't that a bear track?"
Joe was a man of patience and he loved the lad for his father's sake, but he couldn't stand this thing right along. He remonstrated gently at first, that though bears were fairly plentiful, they
were rarely seen, having a fear of man and fleeing at his approach, if possible, but this only made matters worse for it firmly convinced Reginald that he was being purposely deceived to allay his fears.
"V(iu well half ter show you sport- man wan l)ier, shuah," insisted Pete to Joe. "or her heart weil braik, purty queek. I dunno, mebby."
At last Joe came to the same conclu- sion.
Not long after, bear tracks were dis- covered in the camp tote road as the party was returning one evening and Reginald was promptly informed of the discovery. The tracks led down the road, straight to the cabin door, where it was evident that bruin had scratched on the sill several times in an indifferent attempt to open the door. Then the trail swung round to the rear of the cabin where the swill box had been over- turned and its contents scattered about. At this point Joe discovered that tliere were two cubs with the bear.
"I don't like the idea of cubs," he commented gravely; "Ordinarily a baar 's harmless enough, but wdien she's got cubs she stops at nothing— not even cabins — and now she's found that swill Ijox she'll probably show up here every night."
Joe's "I tink so," and the lad's sliiver, were the only answers.
Darkness settled quickly th;it night
and with ils coming Reginald's fear did not decrease. l)ut in spite of it he got sleepy early, for he had tramped all day. Pete disappeared without warning after the supper dishes were done and soon after Reginald and Joe crawled in between the blankets. Then came a short period of oblivion out of which Reginald was brought with a start by the sound of a low whining growl at the cabin door.
"Wha's that?" he gasped.
Joe was painfully silent for a moment and as the sound was repeated, he mut- tered somewhat huskily, "Sure'n fate, it's the baar."
Then came an "Ough I Ough!" at the bolted door, a snarl or two, followed by more sniffing and impatient scratch- ing, several vicious growls and grunts ending with thumps on the door which made it rattle on its hinges.
When it ceased, Reginald was in the centre of the floor, rifle in hand, his face set, but Joe was upon him in an instant, his eyes dilated with real alarm.
"No, no! don't shoot," he almost
screamed. "You might wound the
beast and there'd be no hope for lis," he continued with more composure.
"Sure enough," moaned Reginald, but the bear had for some reason, ceased operations on the door.
"Lucky she didn't hear us talking." whispered Reginald.
"Perhaps she did." responded Joe, somewhat drih-.
But presently they heard her again, this time at the swill bo.x, tumbling it about, grunting as she did so. Then low growls and plaintive whinings con- veyed the information that the cubs were also there. Then all was quiet for a few long moments, the ticket}"tick, clackety-clack of a dollar watch sound- ing louder than a threshing machine. Suddenly and without warning", there came a tremendous lliunip on the cabin roof, followed by an uncertain scram- bling.
"By thunder she's climbed a tree and dropped on the roof," exclaimed Joe, "and she'll be through the skylight un-
less we do something," he concluded excitedly.
"Fire ! There's fire !" he added, "the only thing a liaar 's afraid of. Pile the bed boughs on the coals in the fire- place and the flames will shoot up the chimney. That will put her back into the woods with a fright she. will never .get over."
Joe and Reginald sprang for the 1)unks together, and how those boughs did go into the rough fireplace! It seemed that they never would catch, but after what seemed hours a tiny flame started at the bottom and crept stealth- ily up through the centre, jumping from spill to spill, leaping into flame with a roaring, crackling explosion, sending a sheet of flame and shower of sparks up through the chimney and far into the night. A few moments of suspense and then came another thump, a scramble, a thud upon the ground and a crashing in the forest, wdiich grew fainter and fainter until it ceased.
Then Joe laughed long and loud. "I'D bet she's running yet," he concluded glee- fully, "and what's more you couldn't get her within a mile of this place again unless you brought her here dead."
Then Joe crawded into his bunk and drew the lilankets about him, muttering softly to himself as he struck his hip bone on a protruding knot, and a few moments later Reginald followed, sigh- ing heavily.
Joe was snoring and Reginald was getting very sleepy when Pete de- manded admittance. Joe let him in without comment and Reginald was too near asleep to speak, not even when Pete wanted to know, somewhat testily, what they had been doing to the bunks.
"It's your rheumatistu," chuckled Joe.
"P'raps it ees, but, je-hokey, I doant link so," gabbled Pete.
.\s Pete built the fire in the morning, the thrilling experiences of the night before were gone over in detail, the Ca- nadian manifesting keen interest. Then they went outside and examined the
NOKTHW.^Rn-HO I — PAGE 8
door where the marks of the claws of the angry monster were plainly visible.
"Why you no shvite troo door, Rcggy," queried Pete. " 'cause eef you had I link you would liaff got heem. Je-hokey, I do," and he shivered as if a chill wind had struck him.
Then they stepped around and looked at the overturned swill box, Joe and Pete glaneing sidewise at the cabin roof where "bruin" had made her last stand. .\ strange sight met their eyes. The splits were nearly covered with boughs upon wliich the fresh marks of the axe were plainlj- visible, and tliere were others on the ground close by.
"Baar must have broke those off from that tree, Pete," suggested Joe with a sly wink and a jerk of his thumb tow- ards a tall spruce, from which the limbs had been literally pruneil.
"Je-hokey, but she must have been wan beeg wan," was Pete's comment as he hurried into the cabin with a grin.
And Reginald who was on his knees examining the "tracks," kept his eyes riveted there until Joe turned toward; the wood pile.

SPORTS IN THE OPEN AIR
Rifle Shooting, Baseball, Golf, Tennis and other Outdoor Recreations Keep Kineo Guests Busy
\u4t IV -^ T U R K Ix-ckons and ^iBk/- -^^ mankind yields at Kineo ^Pl^ these rare August dajs. social ^7 affairs backgrounded by inter- est in out-door recreations, lime flitting away as in a sweet ilream, leaving only treasured memories ; memories of recollection and anticipa- tion.
Golf, tennis, rifle shooting and liase- ball all have their devotees, while others enjoy a day's canoeing, a ride or gallop along the wooded lake shore, or a climl) up the mountain ; all pleasantly occupied in God's fresh air and smishine. and the days far too short.
The wilderness is claiming hundreds and the demand for accommodations is lengthening" the "waitin.g list" of the many who will come when duties call those who would linger, reluctantly homeward.
CR.VCKS AT THE RIFLE BUTTS
Interest in rifle shooting is making it among the most popular of outdoor diversions here, men and women, young and old, joining in the various tourna- ments and daily practice. Just at pres- ent attention is centred upon F. C. Batty of Savannah, Ga., former six hundred yard American rifle champion, and S. A. 'S. Hammar of Bethlehem, Pa., who missed making the American Olympic rifle team by a single point, both of whom were participants in the week's tournaments.
Among the events were shoots with scores to count on the James K. Clarke and N. C. Xash trophies, and special handicap, the leaders being W. T. Har- rison of Bangor. Mrs. James K. Clarke of Philadelphia. Mr. Batty, Mrs. S. I. Hanson of New York, and Mr. Ham- mar. The scores offer an interesting basis for comparison and are printed

mei;antic saiKi;s two wins
The M-egantic ball team occupied the boards in the week's games, scoring two wins in hotly contested, but at times, loosely played games, much to the dis- appointment and surprise of the local fans.
In the opening game the home team li.id the game well in hand until the eighth inning when a hit. base on balls and errors netted five runs and turned the tables, neither team scoring at the last try at the bat. A misjudged liall by Fitzgerald gave a home run and the two remaining runs in the fourth.

Even the juveniles have caught the baseball microbe, a "junior" Kineo team lieing organized and the opening game played witli a similar organization, from Camp Wildwood as tlie victims, u — 9. Xot a bat wiclder on either team is over fourteen years of age, many of them younger, and when it comes to down- right enthusiasm the junior teams have the regulars beaten to a standstill. As for coaching and side line gossip, what tlie youngsters don't know or think up isn't worth recording. With the usual games scheduled, the occasional appear- ance of the "guest" nine and the junior teams, Kineo provides variety in the national game the like of which it would be hard to find elsewhere.
Several hundred people followed the game, and among them fond parents were like governors at a County Fair, a close score adding to the enthusiasm which was contagious. The special feat- ure was the catching of young Dahn who threw out l\\e men at second and cracked out what would have been a home run had he not neglected to tag third base in a too eager desire to reach ihe home plate. Young Nelson made a line running catch of a tly in centre, Sabin played a good game at secoml and Hutchins was steady at first, young Seeligson, eleven years old, pitching like a veteran.
The line-up follows : Robert Dahn, Brooklyn, catcher; Edward Flannagan, Boston, left field ; Charles Saliin, New York, second; "Jimmy" Hutchins. Bos- ton, first ; A. Seeligson, San Antonio, short : Howard Van Nostrand. New York, third: John Nelson. Kineo. cen-

V.\CHT CLUB .SUBSCRiriEKS
The week witnesses the practical com- pletion of the subscription necessary for the new Moosehead Lake Yacht Club building, the Kineo Company underwrit- ing $5,000.00 of the necessary $10,000.00 stock. No movement of recent years means more to the entire section or is a more significant prophecy as to the future of Moosehead Lake as a resort for lovers
of power boats. As a natural consequence of growth and progress the club house comes, for no sheet of water in the wide world is better adapted for this, one of tlie most modern of sjiorts.

KINEO CLUB AND LIBRARY
They Give Character to the Resort and are Enjoyed by all who Appreciate Their Quiet Charm
W~^ I'-pMK STORY of the Kinco ^IBk«- A Library Association is ^^1^ the story of the interest, effort pF 7 and perseverance of >[rs. James A. I'rodic of firooUlyn. phis the encouragement of friends ; few at first, many as the move- ment grew in importance and popularity. The fact, however, remains, that ^frs. Rrodie"s belief in the idea is responsiljle for the Lilirary's existence to-day, for as an innovation, it did not meet with the enthusiastic support which one wotdd at first assume would come as a natural couser|uence.
There were even some who opposed the idea, very few. lint the bulk of the house was negative. "The books will lie carried away," said one ; "Xobody will read them hcrr." said another: "It will not pay," said a third, and so on down tile line, but Mrs. Brodie /o/u-TC, just as earnest, devoted women before her have known, a few friends came forward with support and the plan was carried through to a culmination successful even beyond the expectations of the most sanguine.
Here, in the woods, with no books at one's disposal, time must drag a little occasionally, for those to whom camping and fishing offer no attractions, and the Library has, naturally, been a great suc- cess from the first. There has never been a year when the receipts have not been sufficient to pay its way easilj' ; more than one hundred new books being added every season. It is very seldom that a book is lost, possibly once in three years this may happen.
From the start the Library has been managed with a definite end in view and with a clear idea as to how this end should be attained. The desire is to
lirnvide the guests with the kind of read- ing tliey wish for during the summer. In this it tliffers from the cily library whose object is to instruct rather than .•innise. Hence the body of the Library is made up of fiction, the season's fiction; not books two or three years old wliich every guest has read and which may be Ijought at a discount.
.\ partial list of the books added this season illustrate their character : The Chaperone, The Avenger, Nicolete, Shepherd of the Stars, The .\ncient Law, The Weavers, William Jordan, Junior, Mr. Crewe's Career, Rose Macleod, Ex- ton Manor, The Man Who Was Thurs- day, The Black Boy, The .Angels of Messer Ercole, The Shuttle, Somehow (iood. Sheaves, The Prima Donna, Janet of the Dunes, The Broken Road, Days in Cornwall, Through the (iates of the Xetherlands, Memories of the Tenny- sons, Scotland of To-Day, .\. Spring Fortnight in France.
The ideal location of the room set apart by the management, in reality liuilt for the purpose, its restful furnishings, and the always present "woman's touch," make it a favorite retreat for all giving the entire hotel character.
b'rom time to time friends have con- tril)uted furnishings — a choice print or picture, a piece of statuary, a bit of bric-a-brac — the whole combining to create a room which is in perfect har- mony with its purpose ; a room which bespeaks the continued interest of devoted w-orkers.
Here one may always find quiet, here one may always be a bit apart from the hotel itself; in the home atmosphere as it were and among friends — for what friends arc like one's favorite books !

THK KINKO n.ll)
Xo fcaliirv of Kinco is more uiiiciuo than its lo^ caliin Clul) house, a retreat enjoyed by all williiii its somewhat ex- clusive circle. Little there is of the true '"clul)" spirit to he sure, hut herein lies the charm, cli.irniing hecausc it is unlike other chihs". ch.irniinK l)ecause it is just suited to its special needs.
Here one may meet or escape friend-, chat a hit, read or write, gaze into the blazing lire upon a cool evening, look off upon tile moonlit lake when the niglit is warm. Mere one may rest in the re- freshing sliade of the wide porclies upon a hot day, or llnd warmth and cliecr if the day is stormy. In a way tlie Kineo Cluh is "home" to most of its members and because of this it stands out clear and sharp as one of tlie most treasured recollections of tlie place.
Always its welcome is the welcome of a friend, aKv;iys one feels that one may escape to it and leave the world behind for a day, an hour, or a week. Little to do there is. but every moment is occu- pied, pleasantly occupied because of the environment wliich i< that of peace and quiet. Hlessinn> iiiileed upon those wlio hrst realized the need and later made it possible ; peace and fond memories to those who have met life's reward since their work was accomplished !
Originally, no doubt, tlie movement arose from the desire of a few to escape from the hotel from time to time. Xot that they disliked the life, but rather be- cause an occasional hour outside made it more appreciated, and so it was that sev- eral of the older guests conceived the idea and liuilt the house, its architecture, naturally, of a character suited to the community. Just two rooms there are with a monster fireplace of native rocks between, a long centre table, with easy chairs.aiul writing tables at the windows, the walls of rich brown, a refreshing note of color to the eye and an efTective background for trophies of the chase, a few pictures and woods' relics. One soon yields to the spell, one .soon joins in with the spirit of the place which, to the out- sider, seems to possesses few attractions.
Most interesting of all in connection with the Club's early history, was the movement of the women to prevent their exclusion, resulting in a resolution of length which is reproduced in connection with this article. Through it all is dainty wit and more or less of chaft. nevertheless, this sly reminder was the result of a change of plan and the ad- mission of the wives of members upon ecpial terms with the men and the setting aside of a room especially for them.
Time has, happily, made little change in the Club and its methods, but progress h.is Iieen made, last season witnessing the permission of entertaining where previously it has been against rules, and a gradual maintenance of its membership through the interest and effort of those who have long been connected with it. Always prosperous has been its financial status and in the twenty-second year of ils e.xistence it stands upon an absolutely independent basis.
The present membership includes many of those who were charter mem- bers, one of them, Dr. Thomas U. Coe of li.ingor, the president. Other .stock- holders include the following: J. Edward .Addicks, Xew York: F. VV. Aycr, Ban- gor. .Me.: J. A. Brodie. Brooklyn: John K lieach. Xew Haven. Conn.; Wilder M. Hush. West Xewton. Mass.; C. M. Clark. Xew York; Henry G. Campbell.

MERRYMAKING RUNS RIOT
Plantation Hop at Poland Spring is Easily the Season's Most Novel and Enjoyable Affair
NEVER has Poland Spring known a nicrrier wtck.
^PP^ never lias the enjoyment been yT I more general, riding, golf and tennis combining happily with affairs which the entire col- ony has enjoyed. Filled to their capac- ity are the hotels and filled they will lie until late September, old and new friends flocking in for the enjoyment of the most delightful month of the season.
Mi:RKVMAKIN(i RINS KIOT
Easily the season's most novel and enjoyable affair was Saturday evening's "Plantation Hop," arranged for the younger set liy Mrs. S. M. Innuin of Atlanta, Mr>. ^\■. H. Lord of Boston and others, replete with rollicking fun and ludicrous features, enjoyed not alone by the dark-faced participants who, for tlie time being, played a part and played it well, but a company of onlookers which taxed the capacity of the Music hall. Complete in every detail, merrymaking running riot, each feature of the program an amusing surprise, the affair kept anti- cipation keen from the opening numlier until midnigln, and will be the subject of conversation for man>' a day to come.
Mystery shrouded the arrangements and so it was with the idea of witness- ing a black face minstrel show that the household assembled, the curtained stage further strengthening the lielief. What i"eally developed, however, was a series of tableaux ending in cake walks and dancing, the entire group in plantation negro garl), ranging all the way from Topsy and Samljo, to old mannny and grizzled daddy, with youths and maidens is dazzling .array ; l)lack and yellow, blue find green, red and purple, monster shoes, giddy headgear and wonderful jewelry transforming the Boor into a
kaleidoscope of startling color as inhar- monious as a German liand.
And, last of all, was the evening's most amazing surprise, known only to but few of the company, a plantation sup- per in the great kitchen, with the dim skyliglit high overhead and pots and kettles gleaming brightly on their hooks. Supper was spread on the "help's" tables with the plainest of service, but every- thing was clean, spotlessly clean, and the entire menu delicious ; a true plantation feast, with everything but the 'possum," as a Southerner aptly expressed it.
Fried chicken, brown and tender ; sweet potatoes, bursting in their skins; green corn, sweet and juicy; pone bread, golden yellow ; lioe cake, dry and appetizing ; and pie, pic. pie — all kinds of pie — with coffee, cheese and doughnuts, and watermillion ! Great, big, luscious watermillion ; watermillion darkeys eat seeds and all, regretfully laying the rind aside because it can be used for pickles !
THE T.\I!LE.\U.\
Three tableaux opened the program, the first a realistic reproduction of a negro cabin resting beneath the shade of overhanging branches and l)ackgrou\ided by a waving corn held, the door open and a colored mammy ( Mrs. G. W. Elkins. Jr, ) stirring a monster kettle which hung above q glowing fire ; emblematic of tlie preparation of the wedding feast.
The next scene was the wedding with Mr. Harris Wharthman as the groom, garbed in a black cutaway of luonstrous proportions, expansive trousers, luilitary front white vest, wonderful tie and a derliy liat — tlie very first one made, at- test !
Fair indeed to look upon was the bride CMr. G. W. Elkins, Jr.), an oiiif'ccr gown of yellow and green, pink stockings with monstrous lilack dots.

bridal veil n hi iiiostiiiitc, set off liy a ten thousand dollar pearl neeklace (lior- rowed of Mrs. Astorbilt), two diamond salutes upon his slender lingers and .'i monster turquoise ( the gift of the groom), upon his bosom; the entire Izdlight brought into fitting relation with the whole by a bouquet of golden glo\v.
Attendant upon this rare vision of Southern loveliness was the bridesmaid ( Miss Ruth Flint) radiant in Topsy garb of red skirt, white waist, plaid turban, kerchief and stockings.
At first glance the best man (Mr. S. B. Sutphin ) was taken for Lew Dock- stader, a tall gray plug hat with black liand, a check tie, plaid suit so loud that it drowned the music, and shoes that lapped over the edge of the stage, com- pleting the costume. In striking contrast was the bridesmaid (.Mr. C. S. Tnman ) immaculate in white a decoration day bat a bit incongruous.
Last of all was the somewhat quiet par- son (Mr. Richard Elliott), garbed in black frock coat, check trousers and silk bat, carrying a demijohn, enililematic of prohibition Maine !
The third and last tableaux depicted the happy couple, in fond embrace, re- ceiving mammy's blessing, wdiile Miss Anna Taylor softly strummed "Way Down Upon the Suanee River" on a guitar. As the music ceased the orches- tra struck up Mendelssohn's wedding march which brought the company to the floor in couples, seats being taken after circling it.
A cake walk was next announced, Mr. G. "W. Elkins. Mr. S. P. Stinson and Mr. B. P. Moulton, being selected as judges with due ceremony; a triple tie resulting and the cake lieing cut and divided. Mr. Wharthman and Miss Stinson, Mr. Sutphin and Miss Flint, Mv. Elliott and Mrs. Warthman won the special honors, but "honorary mentions ' were numerous; Mr. Wharthman being awarded a special token in apprecia- tion of his skill. A plantation dance liy Mr. Wyeth and Miss Flint was cleverly <lonc, reels, jigs and other plantation
dances, rounding out the time until niiil- niglit and the kitchen supper.
■A special feature of the spread was the presentation of the wedding fee to the parson by the grateful groom, the decidedly unexpected appearance of a live cliicken being a surprise which had been carefully concealed from all.
The patronesses of the evening were Mrs. W. H. Lord, Mrs. S. Al. Innian, Mrs. G. W. Elkins, Mrs. James G. Lind- say, Mrs. I. B. Johnson and !Mrs. E. P. Rieker.

Enjoyed by the entire household w.is the Saturday's "Barn Yard Frolic" or dance, the Casino being transformed for the occasion by picturesque and eflfective bucolic decorations; the walls covered with soft green cornstalks and hung with everything a farm can claim ownership to — harness, milk pails, rakes, hoes, pitchforks, scythes, whips and what not — the effect heightened by the introduc- tion of a monster hay stack and a pen of the liveliest and most musical of young- pigs which never for a moment ceased to protest against their strange surround- ings.
As for costumes they covered the limit of possibility, ranging all tlic way from the pretty milkmaid of fiction to the hired girl of stern reality, and the chore boy to the summer boarder, with enough typical Uncle Cys, Aunt Sallys, hayseeds and farm hands to make one feel that a County Fair had got misplaced.
Easily the most interesting of the young women and the best caricature on the floor, was Miss Susan Dill as a giddy young spinster, while the Shields broth- ers as "Hiram" and "Mandy"' provoked no end of laughter. On every hand was heard praise for all, but none more gen- nine and hearty than that bestowed on the volunteer decorators of the hall, Miss Marie Cbatillon and Miss Elsa Shaffer of New York, l\lr. H.

THE TYPICAL MAINE GUIDE
Just as Much a Product of the Soil as the Forests and His Like is Not to be Found Elsewhere
V ^, HT^HE GUIDE, in the mind ^kSk«- -■- of every snortsman who ■H^ lias "done" Maine properly, is pF 7 closely associated with memo- ries of pleasant and successful days with the rod on lake and stream, or long tramps through the woods with the rifle. It is his guide, not the sporting camp proprietor or the people he meets, that the sportsman, after return to civilization, remembers most of all. This recollection is al- most always tinged with tenderness, for "Charlie" is to the minds of a cer- tain number of sportsmen, not only the best guide in the State, but the staunch- est friend in the world ; while, on the other hand, Charlie thinks no sportsmen come to Maine except Mr. So-and-So and a few others of his select coterie. All others lack much or little of being up to Charlie's ideal, and he loves to relate, with glowing eyes, in the pres- ence of other guides, the achievements with rod and gun of the mighty Nim- rods wdiom he guides. To the sports- man, on the other hand, all other guides than their own particular are just a bit "ofif." They talk too much or too little, paddle or walk too slow or too fast, or, possibly, the cooking is uncertain ; but their Charlie hasn't a fault. It is a pleasure to converse with him or be in his company, his paddling and gait are just right, and the coffee never fails to be good, the trout cooked to a turn, the bread light, or the flap jacks Iirown and tender.
Some sportsmen are, indeed, wont to carry their enthusiasm so far as to quar- rel about their guides much as children do about their papas, and while Mr. Gun admires Mr. Rod, personally, he cannot for the life of him luiderstand how he can go into the woods with "that block- head Tonuny." Both seem to forget
that .1 guide is much like a wife; wliat suits one man lias no attractions for an- other. It is the old, old story where people fail to comprehend what there is ill the mysterious word — companionship.
The typical Maine guide is just as much a product of the soil as are tlie mighty forests, and his replica is not to iie found elsewhere. They arc, of course, all human and differ in temperament. One may be nervous and excitable, an- other reserved and deliberate; a third, patient and forbearing, and ;i fourth, C|uick tempered and unreasonable ; but, as a class, good guides arc to a man, strong, willing, friendly and ever on the lookout to see that their "sporter" has tlie best there is to be got. They are good friends and, sometimes, bitter eue- 111 ies. for their sense of justice is keen and they are ready to retaliate for a just and, sometimes, a fancied grievance. The majority are sober and honest, if one accepts the latter qualification by making allowances for the fairy tales wdiich they are wont to spin for the en- tertainment of their city guests, and, often, they have told these over and over until they really believe them. Profan- ity is not a rule among them, although a moderate amount adds zest to their con- versation on fitting occasions. With scarcely an exception they know their place and keep it, seldom mistaking kindness for familiarity or imagining that they are the sportsman and the sportsman the guide. They do not ex- pect to be put on a basis of familiarity. They realize that the men they guide come from a world of which they know little, yet they are seldom envious. They only ask to be treated like men, nothing more.
Guiding is a business with them, de- void of all the frills the uninitiated en- thusiast might attach, and taken season

in and season out, it is aliout as liard work as one would wish to undertake. To tramp long miles carrying a heavy pack or an eighty-pound canoe over a rough trail, to paddle from morning until night, to be ever at the call of some one who is in the woods for en- joyment, and then to end the day by getting supper,, chopping wood for . the night, building a lean-to and houghing down tile beds is no easy or unimportant
hard rain, drenched to the skin"' Who else would pack a canoe half a dozen miles without grumbling, simply for the sake of a few hours' fishing? Wlio else would give up a blanket and sit by the fire that you might be warm, or go with- out food that you might not go hun- gry? No one but the guide is the answer of all wdio have been fortunate enough to be under the care of a good one while in the woods.

task. If ever a class of men earned their money fairly and squarely it is the guides who are working for $2.50 and S,5 a day. A good guide gives his em- ployer the benefit of knowledge gained from years of experience in the woods — the art of woodcraft, the habits of fish and game. He does not hesitate, if need be. to risk his life for his employer, and the greatest personal discomfort is a pleasure to hitn if it only adds to the enjoyment of his party. Who else would sit in a canoe and paddle for hours in a
25 PACE — NORTHWARD-HO!
The guide does his best work for the man he likes. It adds pleasure to his occupation to have a man who is appre- ciative, kindly, and patient. The guide likes to be told that the cooking is good, tliat the day's sport has been satisfac- tory, and he appreciates any demonstra- tion of personal interest. Above all things he hates a "kicker." and such a man has a hard tiine in the woods as soon as his failing becomes known. He admires a tnan wdio is a good shot or expert with the rod. and will do any-
thing to assist sucli a one to oluain what he desires, for he feels, and justly, that half the glory of his employer's achieve- ments falls upon him. After taking a man up close to a mammoth moose or big deer and seeing a whole magazine of cartridges fired without effect, or after paddling cautiously up to a fine trout pool and having the w-ater pounded until the fish flee in terror, he gets dis- couraged, and it is not to be wondered at. He has done his best in ever\^ way, and to have grumbling is not pleasant. The guide admires the straightforward man. He can tolerate anything if he believes one is sincere in it. If a man can neither shoot nor fisli he likes to know it, if things are wrong he would feel better to receive a friendly sugges- tion than to be told something he knew was not true.
I'irst of all the sportsman who wants to enjoy !Maine and see the State prop- erly should secure a good guide, for the best fishing is not to be found on the brooks and lakes close to sporting camps, and the finest hunting is miles distant, even at the wildest and most remote of them. This can ]>e best done by securing information from some old time Maine sportsman who knows such men. A registered guide is not neces- sarily all right, for there is little oppor-
tunity for the fish and game connnis- sioners to investigate and mediocre men get certificates. After securing his guide, the sportsman must treat that guide "white," and there will be no trouble. The guide does not expect you til help paddle the canoe unless you so desire, for tlie "help" would probably flavor more of hindrance. If you care to "sack-' part of the pack over the trail he will be grateful, but he does not ex- pect it. He wants you to get all the pleasure' you can and first, last, and al- ways to be reasonable, not to expect more of him than flesh is capable of, to appreciate the good things he brings .\our way and to make the best of un- avoidable discomforts. If you have money and choose to give liim $5 or $25 at the end of your stay, as a tip, or a nest egg for the "little 'un," it will fur- ther cement his regard for you, for money is scarce in ]\Iainc, and people live plainly. If you cannot alTord to do this, friendly acts and kindly interest will do just as well. Do whatever the heart prompts and the purse permits, and your guide will ever be your stanch- est friend and most ardent admirer. .\bove all, make no promise of gifts when you "get home," if you are not in e.arnest. Keep faith with your guide if you seek his faithful service and respect.

THAT REMARKABLE FLY
One of Joe's Yarns
a coninninica-
"OE WAS in
tive mood and. as a nat-
|H|^ ural consequence, the little ^F* group about the cabin's blazing fireplace was silent, for none of us equal him when it comes to story telling. Not alone is his imag- ination keen, hut an education far above the average Maine guide, and much reading, have given him a vocaliulary of some range, and when he begins to lapse into the subconscious state we know that something unusually choice is coming.
"I understand," he queried with great deliberation, "that this little group of ours is privileged to vary slightly from the truth if it serves to make a story more interesting, and that short flights of the imagination are per- mitted?" Joe looked up and we all nodded, wondering just what was com- ing. "Let me, then, emphasize, in open- ing," he continued with much gravity, "that upon this particular occasion it will be entirely unnecessary for me to make use of either privilege, contenting myself only with the plain, unadorned facts and omitting the frills witli which I might adorn it and minus the addi- tional interest wliicli variation might give. What I desire to impress upon you most of all is the strangeness of the wonderful phenomena which I was fort- unate enough to witness and to do this I must, at least, have your confidence.
S
"Yciu will remember that winter came very suddenly at Moosehead Lake last f;dl. We had nuich cold weather early, to be sure; but heavy winds kept the Lake from freezing until well along in December. Then, suddenly, it grew calm and cold one evening and the next morning the Lake was covered with a .ci.iating of thin, clear, firm ice, aliout an inch or an inch and a half in thickness.
"Finding the ice sufficiently strong to hold me, I determined to cross the Lake ti) my c;inip ,it the West Outlet. As I sped ;dong I suddenly became aware of its exceptional purity — as clear and transparent as ever plate glass was made — and I could look down through it as easily as one would tln'ough the skylight lit a house, the liright sun seeming to be rellected down through the mysterious depths as if by a prism. Lying down and covering my eyes with my hands, I found that I could see the bottom of the Lake, five lumdred feet away, as plainly as I could the distant shore. The sight made me dizzy. I nevei could stand upon a mountain and look off, to say nothing of looking down, and the sensation of vast depth below me and cold water between, with only a thin crust of ice as a separation, sent un- canny chills shooting down my back.
"Rising. I hurried on with the desper- ation of a man pursued and not until over shallower water did my self-con- trol return. Tlien from lime to time, I gratified my curiosity, stuilying the bot- tom of the Lake, as one explores an
iniknowii and forhicUlon territory. At the Outlet tlie water wa-; suffi- ciently shallow to permit my looking straight clown to the hottom without lying down and 1 enjoyed the sensation, moving ahout curiously. After a time I found a point, directly opposite my cabin, at which a great school of mon- ster speckled trout were congregated. I app'roached cautiously until nearly over them, but such steps were not necessary as I afterward learned, for if these fish had ever entertained fear of man it had long since disappeared, so. secure had they become in this stronghold, a point long closed to fishennen.
"The sight was too much for me. in spite of the fact that they were doubly protected : the law making the location one whicli could not be fished and the season being, of course, a close one, but I argued that there could be no liarm in my taking one or two little ones for dinner.
"Xaturally, I liad neither hook nor line with me. Hunting through my pockets I found a bit of stout linen twine, and I made a rough hook from a safety pin. In lieu of bait I made .'i crude representation of a Parmachenee Belle, from bits of wdiite and red under- flannel, and laying the whole upon the ice, took my axe preparatory to cutting a hole through it.
"Then and there a peculiar thing took place which had I given it more thought, would have warned me of the conse- quences of the act which 1 was about to commit. It was. of course, as easy for the fish to see through the ice as it was for me, and the very moment that fly touched the fish below began to jump at it. The whole monster school seemed to have but one desire and that to get tlie dainty morsel in their mouths and they pounded away, relentless and deter- mined. Every now and then a big fel- low would pull off soine thirty feet, get a purchase and come thundering up against it like a catapult, making the ice crack ominouslv for rods aljout.
"At the time, strange as it may seem, the incident did not strike me as being unusual. I took it only as positive assurance that I would have no trouble in getting the one or two little ones I desired, liut out of pure humanity I did pick up the fly and put it out of sight until I had cliopped the hole, for the sight of the bleeding snouts and black- ened eyes got the best of me, I never saw a more disappointed lot of fish in my life. It did seem that they would not be consoled: a few of tliem actually shed tears.
"In a short time I had cut a good sized hole through tlie ice. the trout all the while regarding me curiously some ten feet away, the very inquisitive ones coming quite close every now and then, only to dart back to the main school at the slightest movement. Clearing out the fine ice and winding the line about my hand. I dropped in the fly, not with- out a little llutter of excitement for a vague presentment possessed me.
"Xo sooner had it touched the water tlian the school started for it as one fish. I had not expected this and. instinctively. 1 jumped back, pulling the rty with nie. lint that made no differ- ence, the fish came straight on and through the hole, the big ones in the lead and the little ones at the end. As the capacious mouths of the leaders opened a chill of fear swept over me and. turning. I ran for the sliore, the whole school following as rapidly as it could.
"I sought the protection of my cabin, and was just able to unbolt the door and get inside when the fleetest of the lot w-ere at my heels. Then my fear disappeared. What was there in a school of trout to be afraid of, I argued, and going outside, killed a few little ones for dinner and then put the rest to flight. an easy task for many were already gasping for breath and they readily sought tlie water. But in fif- teen minutes tlie whole bunch, with manv additions, was back at the cabin

Good September Trout Flies

Ihe Septemher lly hook should, in consequence, contain something more than the usual assortment to meet the special re<|uirements. At times, to be sure, all tlie old favorites will prove effecti\e: tile Montreal, silk bodied gray and brown hackles and Parmachcnee belle ill p.irlicnlar; but. in .addition, there should lie lures seldom used.
.\niong the best of these will be found the yellow May and the St. Patrick, two dies which the average angler regards as "curios." The Jenny Lind and scar- let ibis should also be included in the list, as well as the white miller.

If in doubt try the experiment this f.all and. if you meet with success, change back to "every day" flies for a few casts; .iust to satisfy yourself!
In many ways September is the best ll\ lishing month of the year, and al no IH-rioil of the season is the weather more delightful.

Wednesday's g.ame was a litting end- in.g of ;i sidendid season with the Inial outcome uncertain until the last man was retired, the visitors gaining the lead in the first three innings, losing it in the sixth .and eoinin.g within one of tying in the ninlh. In their lirst four appear- .ances al the b.at it looked very much as if the Taconnet pitcher h.ad the home ])layers hypnotized, but the Ix'ineos "ch.anged bats" in the fifth and sixth innings .and the crowd began to sit up, Xordeen, of the home team, was in good form, holding the visitors down to a few scattered bits and striking oul live men. some of them good hitlers.

and after a wliile tliis will tend to sootlio him whon nervous or perplexed.
If he does wrong say. "Xo, sir, no!" sharply, and this phrase will be useful later.
Have a rug for the dog and le.ach him to get upon it when you say "Your rug, sir." Teach him to stay in a cer- tain room and to leave you when you say "good-by."
In nutch this way the dog can be taught all the English he need know, much the same as a child is taught. Get your dog so that you can talk to him and your task will not be hard if he has the right disposition.
After he begins to understand and to mind, take long walks with him. mak- ing him cover the ground on both sides of you as you go, teach him to come closer when he ranges too far, and to go to a given point by a wave of the hand. When he chases a cat or a dog on the street, put a stop to it, mildly and firmly at first, and if the offense is re- peated, punish; but punishment must always be inflicted with judgment, all owing to the disposition of the dog. Some dogs must literally be "sat on" all the time ; others need only mild re- proval ; but obedience, instant obedience, must be drilled in first, last and always, and at the same time the dog must not be made a slave. Some things he does you must not see if there is no remedy. Make the dog your companion as much as possible and study to win his affec- tion and confidence.
After he is broken take him to the woods. This season of the year when the birds are young, is the best time. The young birds will lie hard and close and will afford the dog excellent prac- tice. Quail and w'oodcock are better for breaking puppies than partridges, because they lie firmer. Young part- ridges act well, but veterans will baf- fle the oldest dogs, and a puppy is nat- urally confused by them.
The dog's love for hunt will be shown on the first trip to the woods. The va- rious scents will send him into ecstacics of delight, and he will bound hither and
thither working them out. He doesn't know just what he is looking for, but he is trying hard to find out, and it's only a question of time. When at last he finds a bird and comes to a point, let him hold it. Walk to his neck and say "Steady." If he has been properly trained he knows what the word means. as well as you do. I f he starts say "whoa," and insist on obedience, no matter what happens. Re close enough to grasp his collar and use force if he continues to disobey.
Great care should be taken at this time. Dogs point birds naturally, but the majority have to be broken to be staunch, and staunchness i> a quality without which a dog is of little value. Flush the bird yourself, see that the dog does not stir or even express a desire to chase it. For this reason it is best to have a dog "point dead" for the first season. If you allow him to retrieve too soon, it will not be long before he will be breaking at the shot, and if the bird is not killed, he will be apt to keep on after it.
Show the dog that you are looking for game birds and nothing else. Dis- courage excursions which end at the foot of a tree, or rabbit and wood- chuck burrows. Put a stop to feints at ground sparrows and robins, and last, but not least, teach the dog that you are not looking for farmers' chickens and turkeys. Learn him wliat the words "birds, sir, birds" means and after you have killed a few over him there w-ill be no further trouble in this direction.
See that the dog covers the ground and hunts for you. not for his own amusement. When you begin to shoot over him. kill the birds you find or do not shoot. If you cannot kill, take some one with you who can. and devote your time to the dog. Lots of dogs are ruined because the first birds shot at are not killed, and the poor fellow does not tliscover what his part of the program is. Xever under any circumstances shoot anything but birds over your dog. It would probably ruin him. Killing birds over a dosi is the making

vi him, just as winning races builds up the mettle of a thoroughbred. Both soon imderstand what tliey arc on earth for. I'"or this reason try and hunt a bird country th(i first season, at least. De- vote the first season more to him than to hunting and the following year he will be in shape to afford you all the sport you want.
It is not child's play to break a dog, but the man who persists can accom- plish the feat and find much pleasant entertainment and satisfaction in it. The first attempt may fail, but it will make the second possible, for experi- ence is in realitv. the only teacher.
A Pointer for Bird Hunters
Bird hunters can get an excellent idea as to whether grousej cjuail or woodcock are "moving" by watching barnyard f^jwls. If these domestic birds . are roaming about and feeding freely it is next to certain that game birds are doing the same, and it will be noted the hours for feeding of domestic fowls and wild birds are much the same ; early morning and late afternoon.
Generally speaking the bright, clear, still days are the best but after a clear- ing shower, a long rain and upon some gray days a study of the barnyard fowls will show that there is opportunity fijr a few ll■.lur^' unexpected shouting.
The Soutliern guides study domestic fow'ls very carefully and the predictions based on this observance are invariably correct. Often they will predict failure upon what appears to be a perfect day because the fowls for some unaccount- able reason, are not feeding, and it is a frequent occurrence to hear them use this expression on starting out :
"See them chie'ens, sah ; movin' 'bout and feedin'. liappy-laike? Birds'll be out to-day suah. sah. Never saw that sign fail."
The advantage of freely moving birds is great, because in ranging about they leave trails which the dog can easily pick up and work out, where if they are not moving he must get very close to them before he can detect their pres- ence. A good dog rarely flushes a bird when he comes to it over a trail, but will frequently put them up when the bird is come upon suddenly without this warning. The body scent of the bird is not as great as that it leaves in walking.

E BRAVERY OF MABEL
A Backwoods Story
MAHEL was a demure, sweet- faced country maiden, who lived in a little town tar from railroads, in northern Maine. There had lieen a time when the gay sunmier boarders who annually found tlieir way to the place in w-hieh site lived, awakened discontent in her heart and a longing to see the great city. For a wdiile, the old farmhouse had seemed lonely and the people dull, so that when an invitation came one spring to visit in the city, she had accepted. The. noise and confusion, the endless excitement, the strange people, the dirt and dust, the damp air and the muddy streets, made her brain whirl and her heart sick, and there was inexpressible joy when the old stage coach brought her back to the little white house which stood at the crossroads, guarded )iy veteran maples.
How restful and homelike the sitting room seemed, with its ancient fireplace, rough floor and old-fashioned chairs! How delightful it was to look out of the back window down across the meadow, where the cattle were grazing, and tlien on to the blue mountains, which rose majestically into the sky I What a wel- come sound was the loud cackle of the happy hens, or the painful quack of tlie startled ducks! Mabel was a happier and wiser girl. She was like a ray of sunshine in the house, and as she moved about "helpin" mother," her song rivalled the thrush in the lilac bush outside the window. The nei.ehbors all seemed >o
kind and interested. It was such a com- fort to meet plain, honest, unaflfected people. Even Sam Jones, who had called regularly Sunday evenings for more than two years, seemed different to her. and she saw something in the kindly, bashful eyes that she had not noticed in the young men she had met in the city. Her plain, simple life and Sam's companionsliip grew dearer to her each day as time wore on.
But in spile of all Mallei's happiness and her determination ti) live and die in Greenwicli, one great burden rested on her heart, which she could not lift ; a horrible fear of firearms. To begin with, ^label's father had some fond- ness for guns, but his afifcction for the implements of death was as nothing when compared with the passion her brother, Clif, had for guns of all sorts. As a result, the house was a veritable armory. Hardly a corner in any room was without its dreadful occupant. There were guns of all sorts and all ages. Over the fireplace hung a well made muzzle-loading rifle, w^ith an octagon barrel, German silver trimmings, and a handsome stock, with ,i cheekrest cut upon it. .-\bove the door leailing out from the kitchen, was a 1.2-gauge. double- barreled, muzzle-loading, shot gun. and in the corner near at hand, stood an old army musket, that had been bored out smooth for shot. Scattered here and there were other guns. There was an
ancient single-barreled queen's arm, with a funny lianinier underncatli tiie barrel ; a 20-gauge fowling piece, old and rusty ; a long small-bore squirrel rille, wliicli had come from South Carolina ; not to mention tlie gun with the splintered stock ; the heavy target rifle with a clumsy telescope sight ; a brace of horse pistols ; a pepper liox revolver, and numerous other relics.
And to make Mabel's fear more ter- rible, the weapons were nearly all loaded, and she was continually coming upon them unexpectedly. She begged her brother to keep the guns empty, but he stoutly refused, saying that there was no telling" when a deer would bolt into the field near by, a hawk pounce down upon the hens, or a fox attempt to make ofif with a fat duck. He explained that the rifle above the fireplace was for deer ; the shotgun over the kitchen door for hawks, and the old musket in the corner for foxes. There' was no special reason wh\- the other guns should be loaded, but Clif protested against unloading them, explaining:
"Yer know they're luded. What yer fraid uv? It's ther guns that ain't luded as kills people."
But this information, instead of quiet- ing Mabel's fear, only aggravated it. She was so thankful that Sam didn't like guns. As time wore on, the supply of arms gradually increased. Each fall brought parties of hunters to the house who displayed their modern breech- loaders before Clif's envious eyes, until the temptation became too great, and before long a German machine-made, breecli-loading shotgun was added to the lot. Then deer got to running around the place. Clif pegged away at three or four with the old rifle which hung over the fireplace, but had failed to stop any of them. He came to the conclusion that one bullet wasn't enough to stop a deer and lliat he must have a repeater.
A little later, a civil war carbine arrived on the scene. It shot a bullet as big as a man's thumb, and Mabel looked with horror at the big hole it had made through a hemlock plank at one hundred
yards, while Clif told her exultantly, that it would kill a mile oft'. .\nd the cartridges! They were lying all over the house, Clif kindly reminding Mabel tliat they wanted to be handled "mighty keerful," as they were liable to explode. It w-asn't easy to load and unload the carbine, so the magazine was kept full all the time. When Mabel learned this, her heart sank. She had a vague idea if would shoot half a dozen times on the sli.ghtest provocation. The old rifle was taken from its pegs over the fire- place, placed back of the door leading into the kitchen, and the carbine put in its place. What a villainous looking thing it was !
But Mabel's troubles were not ended. Clif had come face to face with a hand- some buck one night while returning from work. At another time, a doe had. apparently, out of curiosity, come up within twenty-five yards of him while he was chopping wood. He decided that he nnist have a receiver and be pre- pared at all times. .A little later, a' heavy Colt came and with it a cartridge belt and holster. Clif wore the weapon constantly, looking like a desperado with it hanging on his hip. It struck the door as he passed in and out of tlie house, or from one room to another, .and it caught on the chairs when he sat down or got up. At night, the new owner seemed to delight in sitting at the table while others tried to read, taking the weapon apart, cleaning it, inserting and ejecting the great 44 cartridges, and trying the self-cocking arrangement when the chambers were empty. Mabel could hardly control herself and she began to think that even the city life would be preferalile to such surround- ings.
The days wore on. A party of hunt- ers had come for a few weeks' stay. It was a beautiful afternoon and Mabel's father and Clif had gone off with the guests for an afternoon's shooting, tak- ing the carbine and the new iM-eecb- loader. Clif had removed his big re- volver and laid it on the fireplace mantle in the sitting room. i\Iabel was alone.
NORTHW.^RD-no! — PAGE 8
She shuddored as she looked up from her scat at the window and caught sii;lit of the dreaded "pistol." She picked up a paper and tried to read, but she could not wholly forget the weapon, try as she would.
As she sat nervously rocking to and fro, she heard the faint baying of a hound. The sound grew in volume rap- idly, and she was soon conscious that ihc (lo.i>' was much excited. A moment later, the wild cries floated down from the hillside. She looked out indiffer- ently and then started to her feet, for, half a mile away, a big buck was bound- ing straight towards the house with a frantic hound close upon his heels. Mabel's heart beat like a trip hammer as she rushed to the open door. On came the deer like a thunderbolt, taking the rail fence in the pasture at one mag- nificent leap, but the dog gained rapidly and a few moments later was snapping at the heels of the frightened animal, or jumping for his throat. A few moments later the deer had jumped the six-foot fence surrounding the cattle pen, adjoin- in.n the barn opposite the house, and was ■-l.inding in one corner of it facing the h.iunil threateningly, his dark eyes glou- int; like lire, froth dripping from liis nmuth, and the hot breath shooting from his dilated nostrils in little white jets of steam, his keen horns lowereil, ready to toss his pursuer into the air.
Mabel had stood like a statue, her mild eyes wild with excitement, and her ruddy face pale. Then she thought of Clif and her father, suddenly remember- ing how good venison was and that some line h.ad said tlial a Inick was worth tliirly dollar.-,. In her perplexity she glanced up the road. As she did so, she c.-uight siglit of Mr Skintlint hurrying Inwards her, carrying a long gun. She knew in an instant what it meant. Mr. Skintlint was a miserly man, wlinm lier father detested. He would kill the buck and carry it away. Quick as a flash, she realized that she must kill the deer. The very suggestion staggered her, but the sight of the approaching man gave her strength. There was no time to lose.
Instinctively she turned and gl.inced about the room. Her eyes fell upon the pistol. She grew faint, and hesitated, but only for a moment.
Stepping to the mantle, she pulled the weapon from its holster and glanced tim- idly at the chambers. The blue, greasy liullets looked out at her wickedly. She hurried out of the house, across the road to the fence, close up to the deer, which, occupied willi llie hound, neither saw nor heard her approach. She vaguely remembered hearing Clif explain that to discharge the revolver, it was only necessary to pull on the trigger and re- called how he had illustrated the state- ment when the chambers were empty. Then suddenly her courage failed. She turned and was about to dash back into the house, but in doing so again caught sight of Mr. Skinflint not far ofT, coming on the run and shouting, "Wait! Wait I"
Turning quickly, she grasped the pis- tol tightly with both hands, pointed it at the deer as best she could, closed her eyes and pulled the trigger with all her might. .\ terrific report followed, and there w.'is a spiteful tug at her hands. Williintt opening her eyes, she dropped the smoking weapon and ran like a frightened rabbit across the road and in- to the house, slamming and bolting the door in nervous haste, and sinking into ;<. chair, weak and trembling.
Presently she summoned enough courage to peep out of the window. There lay the motionless buck witii the limmd at its throat. She looked up the roail. Mr. Skinflint with his gun across his shoulder, was walking slowly homc- wflrd. .\ tinge of exultation swept over Mabi'l, lier color came back. Her hand ceased trembling.

t;UI-;.STS OF .\IK. COOl'KK .\Nli XIU. STIN.SON
Socially Poland Spring is debtor to Mr. Joseph W. Cooper and Mr. Samuel B. Stinson for Tuesday afternoon's laughable surprise, the "olastaele" medal play putting contest, arranged by and for exquisite prizes ofTered by the hosts of the occasion.
Nothing of a similar character ciuite as unique and entertaining, has ever Iieen seen here and the entire crdony enjoyed it. As for the "oljstacles," they embraced a goodly share of the most amusing "hazards" two clever men could tliink up and secure "pro])erties" for, in a short space of time, and they spelled "trouble" from start to finish, not .alone in l''n.glisb and Seoteli, liut (ireek, Latin, liulgarian, Afghanistan, Volapuk and Esperanto!
Tln'oughont it was the old "rub of the green" — "if ,a sheep swallows the ball, Jilay the sheep" — with variations ranging from H-llat to high C, with Laughter ohligato and side line accompa- niment. Golf, bridge, chess, tennis, pool and politics were comliined in one g.anu-, with the forty-y.ard dash feature dis- couraged and the endurance element emphasized; the only drawback being the ethical rule, observed the world o\er, which makes it necessarv to sav
one ihin.g ami lliiiik another when in polite society, llovv the poor nun nuisi have suffered! What a trial for the wo. lien, knowing as they did. what might liajipen ;dmost any moment should the strain pro\ e ton great !
.Miout the course and on the course the crowd gathered, and there was little "right of way" in spite of numerous "fores." If one could think of some- thing to say it was said, and nobody minded, for who could think of being disturlied with a nightmare to play for?
Interest centered round the eighth and ninth holes, a piece of curved stand pipe resting at the former and .a mon- ster dish pan over the latter, and wliile a two was possible on either, and -^onie made it, tens and tweiuics were more general. Xot far l)ehind was the elev- entli. wliere the hole was guarded by an inverted cog wheel, the shot being t(i loft the ball through the hole in the centre. Similar difficulty was also ex- perienced on the fourth and Iwelftli holes where it w;is necessary to slioot the gulta through a bit of inclined stand pipe and a section of sto\e pipe.
.An inclined tin chute guarded the seventh, so h.xed that exactly the right- shot would land the ball in the hole, and inclined planes hid the third, fifth an<l thirteenth holes. On the tenth and six- teenth there were single and double hurdles, si.x inches hi.gh, and on the fif- teenth ,a s<|uare opening in a bagga.ge truck, some eight or ten inches alio\e the ground, to be made. On the eighteenth a similar mark was t'ornied by the opening in an oil street lamii wul' tiie glass chimney shade removed; num- ber two, putting under an inclined rock- ing chair, being ;ui easy one. The bal- ance of the holes were clear, just to show, by v\ay of comparison, how easy ordinary putting is !

SPORT UNCLE DEN LOVED
Veteran New Hampshire Grey Squirrel Hunter "Waxes Reminiscent in Presence of Bird Hunters
V ^ ^O UPPER was over and wc ^IgK^ C5 ]iad gathered around tlit ^fl^ blazing fireplace in the quaint Wi sitting room. Uncle Den had linished fdling his hlack brier- wood pipe and seated himself in the old rocker with his feet lirnily planted in the little hollows which had been worn in the rough floor. Just back of us stood the supper tal)!e, its red cover strewn with papers and magazines, over which the shaded oil lamp shed a warm glow. From tlic kitchen adjoining, the clatter of dishes came to our ears and we heard Aunt
' .'\bby asking John why he was so late about the milking. An October wind whistled around the sturdy farmhouse and down the great chimney making the lire flutter, and occasionally sending gusts of smoke into the room.
Jack rose and moved out into the kitchen, stopping at the cistern a moment for a glass of its clear water, and then passed out into the woodshed, closing the door with a rattle. Shortly he ap- peared, bearing two well-filled game bags, the contents of which he dumped on the hearthstone. Aly pointers. Don and Dick, raised their heads and wagged their tails knowingly as Jack laid the birds out in a row.
"Thai's what 1 call a gnorl day's sport." he remarked, wlien liis t;isk was
■ completed. "P.y George, what's more like life than a day afield, with a lirace of good dogs and a gun? What makes cl a man's blood thrill more than to stoji I'ue of those thunderbolts? I say. Uncle Den, iieauties, aren't they?"
.\ moment of silence followed cluring whicli J:ick .nul I caressed the dogs.
"'riiat's all right, ])oys,"l.)roke in Uncle Wi\. "lint it's gray squirrel hunting for nie ju>t the same, for there's no hand- somer game in New Hampshire woods
than those sly rascals. How sleek their glossy coats are! How beautiful their bushy tails! That bark of theirs is nnisic to my ears, .and I'd go miles to hear them cutting down nuts, or to see them scamper from tree to tree, jumping from limli to limb. It takes a man with a keen eye and steady nerve to down them every time, and do it right. It isn't like shooting at a mark. The chap who can put a rifle-liall through the liright eye of one of those chaps right along at fifty yards has a right to own a gun, now, I tell you. And that isn't all ; a dog don't show you where they are, tell you when to shoot. You've got to be wide awake ; you've got to know where to look, or squirrels will appear to be mighty scarce, and you won't run out of caps."
"How do yer hunt 'em? Well, witli llie faintest sign of dawn, you make for the woods, stealing in and selecting a st.'ind. commanding several good trees. No sound breaks the stillness save the cracking twigs under foot ; the tree trunks are indistinct in the gloom about you: the air is cool and crisp; the min- iiles speed on; the sky above grows lighter; the tree trunks near at hand assume definite shape; a little bird twit- ters in the hemlock close by. and then, all is still.
.\ chickadee makes its vva\ onl on a limb abo\e your head, anil with a friglitened cry. darts away. .\ little cborns of chirps ring out on every side. There is a rustle in the leaves in front of you. and ,a saucy chipnumk perches on a rock .and pants and puffs frantically.
D.iylight is coming fast; the birds sing timidly ; a slender ray of golden sun- light strikes the top of the highest pine; a p.andeiuonium of joyful song rings out CPU every side. The chipmunk ceases his pr.-ittle. turns about, whisks his tail .and
NOKTIIW.M<I)-!Io! — I'AGli 1 6
ih gone. The leaves of an oak in the distance move suspiciously. Something whisks past a patch of distant sky and vanishes. A nionienl later a big gray leaps out on a limb, pauses for a mo- ment, and looks cautiously about.
You slowly raise the rifle, and gently draw it down. Its sharp crack echoes and re-echoes through the woods. There is a dull thud, followed by a spasmodic rustling of dead leaves. The birds fly away with startled cries; you pick up your squirrel and hurry li;ick. It is still again.
A robin carols, a chipmunk scampers. Instinctively you turn your head. Xot far off a big gray crouches upon a limb, every muscle tense. As j-ou raise the rifle he gives a frightened spit and darts away like the wind for another portion of the woods. Day advances, activity increases and you are kept bus\'.
Presently the sun comes streaming downward in slanting rays ; the woods are strangely quici , tlie birds have ceased to sing and only the shrill cry of a bluejay or a harsh caw of a crow is heard. You lay down tlie rifle and take out the squirrels, one liy one. Xine. and beauties! Shot through the head and neck every one ! Gathering them up. fondly, carefully. \-ou start homeward, caressing the rifle as you go. Nature smiles on every side. By gracious, what an appetite you have !"
Uncle Den's blue eyes sparkled brightly. His pipe was cold. Rising he knocked the ashes from it. laid it on the mantel, moved over to the table and picked up a paper.
Jack and I began loading shells with "fours," and a short time later retired determined to try the oaks over in tlie pasture on the following luorning.
SOME MYSTERIES MADE PLAIN
Killing September Trout Bait
A good fall bait lure is the two cen- tral belly flns of the trout, resembling very closely the Parmachenee ; but this merely as a suggestion in case the camp larder is low, for this bait is too certain a killer to be sportsmanlike ordinarily.

Game 'Warden Cleverness Explainable 'When Real Facts are Known
Xot infre(|uently during tlic hunting season, one sees something after this fashion in Maine papers, and always tlie effect is siguilicanl :
Warden made a seizure of part- ridges at the evening train. There were tlirce of the birds in a 5-pound colTee can. nicely tied up and marked "glass."
\\'arden shook the package and
remarked that it sounded like same. He opened the jtackage and found the birds. The way the warden dis- covers these frauds is little short of marvelous. He will take the most in- nocent looking express package and hy merely shaking it can, in nine cases out of ten, tell whether or not there is game in it. As one man remarked on Friday. "He must either use an X-ray, or have a sense of smell like a cat."
In addition a good man\ liunters who have atteiupted to smuggle something illegal in the way of game from the State, and who have fallen into the grasp of the law at Bangor, have been very much impressed with the Sherlock Holmes ability of the wardens, and as a result, a reputation for cleverness has been established which is moie than X'ational.
X'evertheless, a good many of these ajiparently marvelous discoveries would appear very easy if facts not generally understood and much less generally admitted, were known. The truth of the matter is that the wardens are assisted in their work iliore or less. by "spotters" who are located at various points "up the line," and occasional messages which precede hunters work- ing out from the woods, are in many cases, responsible for the discovery of some clever ruse which would otlierwise have escaped detection.
In luost cases this tipping off is done through friendship for the wardens, in others tlirough spite against the victims and. perliaps, there may be a remunera- tion connected in some others, but be that as it mav, tlie result is verv cffec-
tive and tlie wardens play their part well.
Many of the attempts to get game through illegally are not due to a real desire to evade the law, but because there is no other way to accomplish the desired purpose. It is much the same motive that prompts one to steal a treasured piece of bric-a-brac which can- not be purchased, or to smuggle furs in from Canada because they are consid- ered "personal property."
Take, for instance, the hunter who secures a nice bag of birds which bring visions of a game supper with "fixin's," in New York. The hunter takes the birds to the depot expecting to get them through on the payment of a fixed fee, and he finds no such license in the hands of the agent. The next station is tried with the same result, and the final conclusion is reached that no fur- ther chances will be taken and some clever device to make the securing of a license unnecessary, and which later proves to be successful, is adopted.
The next time this hunter comes out from Maine he decides to cut out the search for a shipping license, and he is, naturally, so pleased with the result of the first effort, that he confides to a friend how it can be done, or makes a quiet boast, thinking that the only dan- ger is at Bangor. The information given out in this way, or carelessness in exposing game before starting or dur- ing the early stages of the journey, is often the cause of many an arrest.
It is probable that as much of this smuggling will be done this year as in the past, owing to the uncontrolable de- sire of mankind in general to "get
ahead of somebody," for no oilier pur- pose than the satisfaction it gives.
It is uot difficult to smuggle a few birds or something of the sort, through Bangor, if one knows how, and keeps the information to himself; but one who does this and lets anyone else in on the "ground floor," is sooner or later very apt to come to grief.
^lan cannot rejoice alone, and so the work of the game wardens still contin- ues effective in the majority of cases.
The Wish of an Art Lover
"My wish is that my Drawings, my Prints, my Curiosities, my Books — in a word these things of art which have lieen the joy of my life — shall not be consigned to the cold tomb of a museum, and subjected to the stupid glance of the careless passer-by; but I require that they shall all be dispersed under the hammer of the Auctioneer, so that the pleasure which the acquiring of each one of them has given me shall be given again, in each case, to some inheritor of my own tastes." — Extract from the Will of Edmond de Goncourt.

A Sportsman's Confession
^nU- -•- ways of hunting deer in ^H|^ Maine. Some prefer to wait ^fj until tlie first snow ami track the alert animals through tlie forest, while others find pleas- ure in gliding along the shores of a pond or sweeping gently down some secluded river in the silent canoe. Some lie in wait for hours along well trodden trails, wliicli the deer frequent, and still another class depends on the jack light. But I have been brought up to under- stand that sportsmen prefer to still hunt, and leave the other methods for the man wlio cannot shoot, or the nati\ e who desires fresh meat.
I arrived in camp somewliat early, along the last of October, before the first snow, and when the woods were filled with dead leaves and dry twigs vv'hich made forest still hunting very un- satisfactory work. I like Maine in Oc- tober, better than I do when the snow has come and cold winds sweep relent- lessly through the forest and on across the lakes, dashing the water into foam on the rocky shores. I like the color and the air of Autumn, and Iiesidcs, I'm getting old and do not find as much enjoyiTient in "frogging it" twenty or thirty miles a day as I used to.
Then I love the canoe. I've never quite got so I could enjoy a rowboat. even the most modern of them. There is something about the build of tlie little craft, which is modeled, as it is, after designs made by the Indians liuiulreds
■ jf years ago, which appeals to mc. 1 love its silence, and it carries me close to Nature. The rippling of the water against tlie prow is music to my ears, and the dip-dip of my guide's paddle lulls me to rest as nothing else can. I love to battle with the wind and waves on the lakes, or to drift along down some mild river, and to watch the ever- changing panorama open up; the forest here, a broad low bog there ; gleaming, placid water or roaring rips and foam- ing falls with the blue mountains in the distance, and the glorious sunlight over all.
.\nd so it happened that .\lick and I kft camp early one October morning in a canoe, for a trip up the river after a fine "bock." Alick said he knew Just where to find one. Xow Alick says lots of things which in due time, prove not to be so ; but I do not distrust him. I believe he really means what he says, but he says things which depend upon many "ifs." We reached the place .A.lick had indicated and found no "bock." 1 was not surprised, not disappointed. I expected just such an outcome. In fact, t did not care much anyway, and we pushed on up the river cautiously.
Presently we rounded a bend and saw two spike horns (yearlings) feeding knee deep in the water close to the river bank. I did not want a spike horn when I started out, but these animals were such beauties th.at I tliought I would kill one of them, for they are prime eat- ing, and 1 ligured I could get my head
of lioniji later. While I was thinking this all over in n'A' niiml 1 was cool enouiih. Imt when I got ready to shoot and waited for Alick to steady the canoe upon a rncl< near liy, I began to get ner- \ ous.
1 liad hit the ])nllseye at camp time after time- the day before, and T imag- ined just liMW I wonld plnnk my deer. 1 knew jnst where to hit him and tliongli I had never shot a deer and had never seen one in the woods. T anticipated no serious trouble; hut. it seemed (|uite different.
Suddenly the canoe stopped with a lit- tle jolt. 1 glanced along the sights and found them in ,i dilTerent position than they lia.d e\er been before. 1 was quite sure i was not nervous, but 1 couldn't seem to draw a liead. and to save my soul. 1 couldn't tell whether those deer were fiirly or two hundred yards off! Pint I knew 1 must not let Alick know, so I did the l)est I could andblazed away.
The cr.-ick of m\- small bore did not make much nuise and we were partially concealed by the rock, so the deer only started a bit and stood with heads erect, looking directly aw-ay from us. T was not prepared for this. Of course. 1 ex- pected th.it the deer would run at tile hrst shot ; in fact. 1 knew they would and for that reason shot quickly. 1 was disgusted :it their stupidity, but the con- sciousness that I was to shoot Again made me nervous. [ was sure of it.
I pumped in a shell as Alick whispered hoarsely. "Lower! Lower!" I fired again wdth the same result and then four shots followed in rapid succession and the magazine of my repeater was empty. I laid the rifle dnwn with a bang and the deer stalked out of the water, and into the forest, whistling furiously.
"Darn that gun!" 1 muttered; "it ain't worth a cuss!" and I imagined I hearil .Alick chuckle ;is he ]nished oft' into mid- stream. I was going to ask him what was the in.atter, but I made U|i my miml th.at I wouldn't, after that. I was sure the rille w.is held right on the deer's shoulder and that the wdiole fault was with the gun or the auiniunition. Then
1 tried a snapshot at a stump in the river and hit it ! -Mick chuckled again, I thought, remarking pleasantly: "We'll lind plenty more, sir: just keep yom' eyes open and he ready,"
Before long we saw more deer and I tried to creep up close to them; but they were wary and left the water before we were within range. I began to feel more like myself and to have less distrust in the gun. In the course of half an hour we had seen half a dozen other deer, the majority of them too small to kill. By that time their presence did not disturli me. We were near the end of our jour- ni\ wdien we spied a handsome buck swimming the river, some fifty yards off. .Mick slid the canoe against the bank and steadied it with his paddle, while he cau- tioned me tci wait until the animal left the water. -\ moment later he clam- Ijcred out and stood ou the high bank beside a great birch, with head erect and ears wide apart.
It w.as a beautiful sight and a be;iuti- ful shot, full broadside, I pulled the ritle down and to my surprise, found the sights in position, and the deer standing just as he was a moment before, not fifty yards away. I pressed the trigger ,inil witli its sharp crack the buck fell sidewise and rolled down the bank into the river.
1 was .a bit an.xious to get him out of tile river before be "sank." but on the whole, conducted myself creditably for a beginner and a man wdio had missed six times straight. We dressed him on the bank there, tumbled the carcass into the caniie and started home.
I in'omised Alick a bo.x of cigars if he'd swear never to tell about my first try. and he swore. Alick got the cigars, and the deer's head hangs over the desk at wdiich 1 am writing. 1 see Alick every fall, if business makes it possible, and siimetimes 1 wonder if he ever broke his promise. In truth I believe he has. but I don't mind noA. and so I am telling the story myself, j'ast to comfort others who may have done likewise.

ll.ineing, ho\\e\er, was of short dur.a- lion, for there was, of course, the auto- mobile to be decorated, .and the terrilde possibility th.it the couple might lea\e b\' Hying machine! The very sugges- tion of such a thing set hearts in a llul- ter and scouts were immediately dis- patched to guard every point of egress.

SOUTHERN QUAIL SHOOTING
Practical Suggestions for Northern Sportsmen Who Contemplate Enjoying This Sport
V"T^ ^'T~'lll': Xl'.Xr few iiKinllis ^IB^ A will I'liid many spdrls- |fl|^ iiK'ii in.'ikiii<^ their way si>utli- ^r f uanl t'cir quail hliooliiig. ()1<1 hands will he prepared, InU llie new men, llie "tcndcrfeel," as il were, will be very apt tii go with imprnper equipment .-ind suffer in ecm- seqiienee. It is diffieull I'nr tlie henin- ner. uidess lie has scinie frienil In ecm- sidl. In fnid nut wh.il the needs are. 'I'he guide honks tell where tlie enxers are. the hnspitality nf the ))en])le. and warn spnilsnien against southern dn.gs ; 1)Ul they say nnthing about what the hmUer's trunk should contain. .\ few wmals cannot he oilier than appropos. for they may save many an iu- eonvenieiice and disappoiiitnieiit, .and make the tri]j. not only pleasant, but successful.
First of all, the sporlsni.an who owns .a dog of worth wishes to lake liiin. lie li.is lie.ird dis.'i.greeahle things alinut soul hern dogs — that they are ))oorly hrnken ,ind will run hares .ami tree squirrels, .as wadl ,as sl.aud liinN. '1 here is a good deal of truth in this stateiiieiil. and the particular sportsman will not laid liis aesthetic tastes geuer.illy gr.ilihed in southern dn.gs. broni the heiicli and lield standpniiu. he will he disapi)ninted and for the in"st few hunts he will he disgusted, in .ill proli.iliilit\ ; liul. before long. In' will discoxer tli.al, in spite of .dl his f.anlls. the southern ilog finds llic birds. Me is usu.dly stanch ,111(1 always tireless, thundering over the country d.i\ in .and cl.ay nut. with the relentless energy which ch.arac- lerizcs the guide.
The hunter, who eouies south from the iiiu'tli for the first time, h.is no idea, vvliatever. of the area of the territory, the vast amount of ground, which must be covered. It is as wliolK unlike cover
hunting ,as it is possible In cnnceive. '1 he northern dog. unless he is a natural r.anger. is .ahniil .is useless as il is pnssi- ble Inr .1 dng tn be. lie hunts fnr a while ,ind then throws u|i the sponge, discniir.iged. 1 he briars tear, he loses llesli, his nwner is ashamed of him and uonders what the trouble is.
I'"..icli \a'.ar, scores nf hunters Lake their dngs dnwn snuth .and il is a \ery rare exceplinii when they are hunted fnr mnre lli.au twai nr three days. I'he nior.il is. save expense .and lea\e your dog, unless he is accustomed to the W(U"k for wdiicli he is to be used, or you are to st.iy long- enough to accustom him to new conditions, for ,a dog, ti.i fnid birds, must know the country and be ftimiliar x\ ith the tricks and haunts of the quail.
The sportsman should know that a guide .and a dog .are necessary to insure success .and pleasure in southern bunt- ing, and nil many days, a s.addle Imrse nr le.ini slmuld be used. This is an expense of from ."f.l.oo to ^5.00. The ide.al way ti> hunt is 011 hoi-seb,ack, but if one eiijnys Iniig walks, il is not necessary. M.any sportsmen come south brin.ging their dogs, thinking they can bunt alone, wholly unconscious that tliey will have. to insure success, to hire a .guide, dog, or horse; nften iiecessar\ because land is preser\ed.

I'Hr genei.al shoot- ing, the leather-faceil corduroy is the onl\ thing wliieli will stand the wear .mil lear of liri.irs, Xnthing else will go ilii-niigh .and linld Ingether fni' ,in\' lenglli nf lime.

For all-r.iund tramping, the proper tiling i'i tlie cavalry style hunting boot, with heavy soles and holi-nails, made as near waterproof as it is possible to liave leather.

For short trips on dry. hot days, stout canvas shoes with Icggins of the s:ime m.aterial. are ver>' comfortable. There will be m;iliy times when the hunter would lil-e to lie out — smnvy, rainy days. .Xothing but rublicr hoots will give dr}- feet, but the rublicr will not stand the covers ;uid the hunter who wears the lioots will have to pick his path. The .gum Imots arc inv.aluable. however, for woodcock sh(.)oting in the low grounds.
For all-round shooting, a 20-gauge gun is best. The right barrel should be cylinder and the left a niodilied choke. Early in the season much of the shoot- ing is in the open, but later, the coveys ^eek cover after being flushed and much ^nap shooting will be necessary on sin- gle birds. Early. Xo. 10 shot answers for the right barrel and Xo. 8 for the left: but later and until the season closes. 8's and 6's are generally tiscd.
The sportsman will need plenty of ammunition. It is astonishing how many shells can be used in a d.ay's hurU — fifty and even a hundred shots being a very common occurrence. It is impossible to get satisfactory ammunition in many places, lieing. as they are. miles from anywhere. It is much lietter to have too many shells than too few. And. Iie- ^ides. your guide can use some ammu- nition to advantage, if you wish to take a good string of birds home witli you. for he is usually a "dead sliot."
Lastly, the reports concerning birds have not been e-xaggerated. They are everywhere, as "thick as bees." and a good shot can get all the birds he wants, provided he goes to a place wliere hunt-

"DUDE SPORTSMAN!"
Glimpse at Sporting Camp "Society" and its Customs
"Dude sportsman 1' was the comment of guests ;md guitlcs alike, when tile new arriv.al in camp, a young man of 35. ni.-ide his way out of his cabin, rigged in corduroys. It was apparent that con- sideralile money had been spent on that suit. The knickerbockers of light dove tint were stylish in cut. and the shoot- in.g coat of chestnut brown helped to make altogether too stunning a color scheme. Then there were brown stock- ings to match the coat, and a Iiroad- brimmed campaign hat of gray which further set ofT the costume, not to men- tion the double-breasted blue fiaimel shirt and the flowing green tie.
"He's rigged for the Kineo piazza or tlie Ran,gcleys." remarked Mr. Record Fisherman to his wife, but the missus, who was somewhat artistic in her tastes, couldn't help but admire the sturdy \oung fellow, and she could see nothing in his manner which betokened the fop.
But the new arrival, unconscious of the attention he w;is attracting, made his way over to the cjuarters. hunted up his guide, sat down in the midst of the company, lit a cigar and chatted pleas- antly. The guides improved every op- portunity to smile knowingly at eacli otlier and when some minutes later, the young man left, telling his .guide that he would not go out until near sunset, the unfiirtunate chap who was to show the young man the wonders of the jire- serve. was guyed unmercifully.
There was quite a flutter that evening a^ the new guest made his way to the wli.irf. Ilardly b.ul the cinoe turned the ]ioiiU on its w,i\ tn the inlet, when the
uliole triliL' was lollowing, everybody chuckling quietly, anticipating the sport in store for them. As they drew nearer they were not so much interested in fish- ing at the inlet as they anticipated. There was the new arrival surely, but instead of presenting the sight they expected he was handling sixty feet of line just as a youngster would a sling shot, and every now and then Jim used tlie net to land a Rood tri)ut. F.very- body was sorely disappointed. The next day Jim and his man left for a branch pond, nine miles away, and everybody expected to see both back by noon, the new man played cut ; but on the contrary they stayed longer than was planned and the camp began to worry.
When they returned Jim was bub- bling over with enthusiasm. He told of record fish, splendid rille shots, won- derful tramps and "as how that city chap would cook, chop wood and was a ri.ght down good feller" and then be smil- ingly showed a brand new ten-dollar bill.
Everybody marvelled and the young man left camp, unpopular, simply be- cause he liad neglected to explain on ar- rival that the week before he had lost his outfit in a canoe upset and bad de- cided that his old togs which had served sii nianv vears. were not fit to wear.
American Revolver Shots Abroad
The United States Revolver .Associa- tion has issued the following report on the work of Americans participating in the recent Olympic revolver matches, an 'abstract from the official report of the captain of the .\merican ]iistol and revolver team.
OLVMPIC IXPIVIlif.M. CONTEST
First, Von Asbruch 490, Storms 487, Gorman 485, .\xtell 480, Calkins 457, Dietz 455. Le lioutillier 436. But five shot holes appeared on one of Gorman's targets. "The target was examined by all the team who were present and a claim for a double was made on a three o'clock nine, this being the only shot which presented the appearance of a double." The question of the disputed shot was referred to the captains of all the competing teams except those of the United States and lielgium and they de- cided against Gm-man.
THK OLY.MnC TE.\M M.VTCH
Was won Ijy Americans : Gorman .^ot. Calkins 473, Dietz 472, Axtell 468 with onh" five shot holes showing on one of his targets. American total 1914, Bel- gium 1863, England 1817, France 1750, Sweden 1732, Holland 1637, Greece 1576.
Regarding our treatment there, the report says "The officials did all that was possible to aid the contestants and the match was conducted in a scrupu- lipuslv fair manner.''
No>v 'Tis Au Revoir!
With this issue Xokthw.\kd-Ho ! bids ci» rcroir until another season; looking backward with pardonable pride and in- to the future with pleasurable antici- pation. Everywhere the welcome ac- corded the Magazine has been sponta- neous and cordial, and the closing of the most successful season in the his- tory of Maine's inland resorts, finds the publication established in public esteem and with hosts of friends who wish it well.
