HaUk A bad nerer been there, bnt he said rhe knew ail about it from another fellow who had and that there was a flret-rate ichance to kill a bear. He mentioned this last fact in the hoarse whisper to which so thrilling nn announcement was entitled, and casting a gland* of satiefactioa at the hew gun efts* beside him remarked that it was lucky on* of thsm had a breech-loader. This speech made ths other boys look a 'little gloomy, for both George and Gordon were armed with mnude-loaders from “way {back,” as Hank expressed it, gone which 'had belonged to their fathers, and Dick of course was too young to be intrusted wt|h a weapon of ant kind. In fact. George cemetery near letting the cat out of the [bag by way of asserting hie own importanoe, but h« concluded to, wait a little -longer. They were in the cars nearly all .day and When they alighted from the train they found a Mr. Bunker, who was a farmer, waiting for them with n backboard on which ho drove them with all their trtpe for half 4 dozen mllsa. They pasted farmhouses every now and then at first, but thee* grew more and more infrequent until presently all signs of civilisation vanished and there was nothing but pint woods and scrub and a range of tall mountains as far u the eye oodid see. "It’s only ten miles from here to Can*da,” *aid Father Bunker, and a few minutes after this he drew up his horses in front of • solitary house which wee built after the pattern ot U log oahin. It was ouite dark, and there wee nothing to be don* but eat supper and turn in. The milk and eggs which Mrs. Bunker set before them tasted temarkabiy good, and after their hunger was eatbfied seek of the four wae very glad to orawl Into bed. It haa been agreed between them that they should appear io the morning in fighting trim, os Haak etyled it. Accordingly Gevrge, when he ewoke, put on e blue flannel shirt, a pair of old tromera, which were patched in the seat, and a soft hat. He ’proudly fattened around his waist a new leather belt, to which was attached a aheath containing a formidablelooking knife, andjfiver hie shoulder He slung hie powder nibk and shot pouch. The sight of these last-named old-fashioned articles disturbed his sensibilities comparatively little, for he was thinking that he would Boon be able to crow over Hauk in

bis turn.

He was the last to go down stairs and when he entered the breakfast room there was a feeble murmur of applauat at hi* appearance, but he saw at a glance that Hauk’iget up h*4 taken the wind out of everybody elee’e sails.

A* Hank remarked, it was to get their hand* in before they started, as there was no knowing when they might be called on to use their new weapon. They were to be driven by farmer Bunker eight miles further through the wood* to a spot Where there we* said to be capital fitbing and some beasts and birds, and there left to their own devices. As the pistol belonged to George, he was naturally the first to fire. He aimed carefully, then a loud report followed which mad* the echoes nag, but the scare row stood staring them in the face imperturbably.

the law, if it isn't.”

“I don't think much anyway af bitting a bird sitting,” remarked Hank, grandilo-

quently.

“It was with • piatel, though,” mid Georg*. “If I had been in the woods as often as vpa. Hank, I guess I’d know a

partridge from a hen, whether it was set or flying,” he added with spirit.

Hank looked sheepish, and farmer Banker, to whom Hank had vonehaafed much information on sporting matters that morning, chuckled loadlv aad said: “I guess yon won't hear the last of that for eome days, youngster. Ifll take a big bear at least to restore your reputaflea as ft!

hunter.”

Fifteen minutes later the* were on the wav again toward their deatinatieft. Most of their rente lay through a thick wood SO that the buekboard. even under fsfrmer Bunker's skilful guidance, had to proceed slowly along the narrrow winding road. It was after the noon hour when they emerged oncq more into the clear soashmo aad found themselves in a pleasant glade where there was a stretch of undulating, firm, high land dotted here and there with elumpe of trees and decked with underbrush. They chose as a sight for their camp a slight elevation with a surface flat as a table. At (he kaee of thie knoll a brook ran tinkling throngb a fringe of luxuriant green stuff! Here they were at last cut loose from every sign of civilization with pine woods and soaring mountains shutting them in on every side. The Canadian border was 1« than three miles away in one direction and a day’s tramp at a little different angle, ao farmer Banker said, would bring them to e river down which miles and miles of trees were sent annually by the loggers to th^ saw mills below. Farmer Banker was to remain with them I that night in order to help them pitch their tents and get things to rights. They had brought two tents—one for George and Gordon and one for the Fisher boys—and after these were in position all hands set to work*upon a dinner table and a rustic canopy to goard it from the rain and sun. Then tnere was a fire-place to build, beaide which a forked bough was pnt in place for thy camp kettle, and last of all a large ATneriean flag was flung to the hreeae on a flag-pole of noble proportiooa. The flag I was a surprise gift from farmer Buuker, who had been in the civil war, and who declared that it would be a pitv to have tha camp mistaken fora hive of Britishers for the lack of a aet of colors. The boys were thoroughly delighted by this patriotic reminder, and as the stars and stripes sailed proudly to the top of the pole gave three cheers at tha instigation of George, which made the forest resound, and mast, as |

“Cock •hot!" exclaimed Hank, .a* he reached out for tha revolver. “Yoit didn’t even scare those hen* and chicken*,” he added, indicating a clucking feathered brood which was disporting itttlf a few feet off. “It’* my torn now.” Hank raised the revolver with grave deliberation, aad after a short pause, during which the boy* held Aheir breath, the report eame, and aimoarat the came moment th* tin can, which formed the bead of the »oar*cro«r, clanged and f«U to the ground. “Bully for vou, flank,” cried Gordon, and litttle Dick Fisher clapped his/ hand* gleefully at bia brother’s success. When the scarecrow’* head had been replaced Gordon took his turn. Like George, he missed th* mark altogether the first time, but managed to plant a bullet io oaa of the etraw victim’s •boulder* at his second trial. George shot wide twice more, but his fourth shot struck th* broomhandle itself, which was, so to speak, the bull’s eye. After they had used nearly half a box of cartridges and made a great deal of noise and smoke George suggested that they had better act waste any more ammunition; accordingly they seated themselves in a row on the pile of old timber*. In a minute or two they mw Farmer Banker coming toward them. Ail this time the three hens and their progeny had contiouad to rummage for food over the site of the old barn and the bank of the brook, and Dick Fisher took it into his head just then to shie a stone in their direction. The missile did not strike any of thsm, but the old bird* cocked their heads and sidled off ia the direction of the uuderbush. “Mr. Bunker won't like it, if you hurt his hens,” said Hank reprovingly. The farmer caught ths remark a* he came •p. “Hens?” he ejaculated. *VWher* arc your hens?” $ “There,” said Gordon pointing. “Hens! They’re partridges.” “Partridges!’ 7 gasped the three alder boy* simultaneously. ‘'Partridges!” and each of thsm mads a movement in aearcb of his gun only to remember that he had loft it in the house. “Nice lad* you are to come off hunting and not know a hen from a partridge. Ho! Ho!” laughed the farmer. “Hank says they are hens,” said Dick, who was by no means ready to admit that his brother had made a mistake. “Give me that revolver,” exclaimed Hank, who, in th* bitterness of the humiliation, was eager to redeem himself by a elever shot He was as red as a psony. ’ “No sir**. I’m going to try myself,”said George. “They’ll get away, sure pop. You’d better let Hauk try,” said Gordon, who was hopping from on* foot to auothsr in his excitement lest the gams should escape them after all, for the birds bad evidently taken it into their heade to forage in another direction. George made no reply, butsquatted down and took steady aim. “Not too high,” said farmer Bunker. Bang! want ths pistol. “By Jove, you've hit aue!” cried the farmer, and this aanoudcemeo* was followed by uloud hurrah from tha boys, who ran eagerly forward. Soiw enough. Georg* had struck one of tho big birds, a plump one, too. Tho pistol ball had knocked it over and put aa cud to it* sufferings at once. “That’ll taste sweet for voqr supper,” said termer Buuker. “It seas a good shot with a pistol, too. But remember this,

farmer Banker said, have caustd tha bean and wildcats to shake iu sverv Lmb. By this time th* sun was getting low ini tha sky and the appetites of the party were becoming ravenous, for save some crackers and cheese, they had eaten nothing aince morning. It was necessary, however, to build a fire and cook before they could eat. Hank had some elementary ideas on the subject of frying pork had toasting bread, and Gordon Munroe had baked potatoes io the ashes at picnic* and seemed to be naturally ant in the culinary line. Farmer Bunker was a flret-rate cook, and under his supervision the boys added materially to their scauty stock of knowledge. Hank and George caught in the brook three halfpound trout apiece, which were soousixzing in ths pan. There vras plenty of Mrs. Bunkers bread and fresh butter and potted tongue, ship biscuit and orange marmalade from the stores they had brought with them. These with hot cocoa made a .fine repast which vanished in such very short order and so completely that the 1 mosquitoes and black flies which were beginning to make their presence felt must have had very poor pickings among the

crumbs.

When the dishes were cleared away and washed, farmer Bunker suggested that a big fire would light things op a little and would not feel at all superfluous by the time tho stars were out. It did not take very long to start a cheerful blaze, and, after gathering a sufficient stock of wood to last until they were ready to turn iu, the boys grouped themselves in a semi-circle to listen to the old soldier’s yarns of camp life from the Army of the Potomac. He had many marvelous stories to tell, not only of war days, but of a trapper's life lu the woods when be was but little older than they. It was nearly 10 o’clock before he knocked the ashes out of his pipe aod declared that it was time for bed. Bad I The hemlock boughs smelt deliciously sweet end the mosquito netting which canopied each bunk seemed ideal curtains. Ths last remembrance George had was of feeling that his treasure wa< safe under his pillow, then he slept the sleep of weary.youth, and dreamt .of checking Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg and slaying a brace of wildcat* by dint of his preoious silver-mounted six-

shooter.
