Putnam's Sons, New York and Ixndon. kXCE la September I was camped on tbe shores of Kootenai Lake, having wltb me aa companions, John Willis and aa lmpasslTe - looking- Indian named AmmaL Coming icross 'through the dense coniferous forests of northern Idaho we had ttruck tb Kootenai Hirer. Then we rent down with the current as it pound in. half circles through a long illuTlal valley of mixed . marsh 1 and woodland, hemmed la by lofty mountains. The lake Itself, when we reached it, stretched straight away like a great fiord, a hundred miles. long and boat three in breadth. Tbe frowning and rugged Selkirks came down sheer to the water's edge. So straight we're the rock walls that It was difficult for us to land with our batteau, save at the places where the rapid mountain torrents, entered 'the Jake. Wiv-w v'i,,,-; We bad come down from a week's fruitless hunting in the mountains; a week of excessive toll, in a country where we saw no game for In our ignorance we had wasted time, not going straight back to the high ranges, from which tho game had not yet descended. After three or four days of rest, and of feasting on trout a welcome relief to the. monotony of frying pan bread end conrsey salt pork we were ready for another trial; and early one moral 115 we made the start. Hav- ' ing to pack everything for a fortnight's use on our backs, through an excessively rough ' country we .of course traveled as light as possible, leaving almost all we had with the tent and boat. We 'walked In single file, as Is necessary in thick woods. The white hunter led. and I followed, each with . rifle on shoulder and pack on back. Ammal, tbe Indian, pigeon toed along behind, carrying his pack, not as we did .ours, but by . help of a - forehead band, which be sometimes shifted . across , t bis breast. The traveling through' tbe tangled, brush choked forest, and along the bowlder strewn and precipitous mountain sides, was inconceivably rough and difficult An hour or two before sunset, we were traveling, as usual, in Indian file, beside .the stream, through an open wooi'ftof great, hemlock trees, There was no' breeze, and we made no ound as we y marched, for our feet sunk noiselessiy into the deep moss. Suddenly tho hunter, who was leading, dropped down in his tracks, pointing upward; and some fifty feet beyond I saw the head and shoulders of a bear as he roce to make a sweep at some berries. Ho was In a hollow where a tall. rank, prickly plant, with broad leaves, grew luxuriantly; and he was garnering us reu oerries, ; rising on his hind tefaadweepihg them down into his mouth with his paw, 1 and was much too intent on his work to notice' us, for his head was pointed the other way. The moment be rose gain I fired, meaning to shoot through the shoulders, but instead, in the hurry, taking him In the neck. Down he went,, but whether hurt or not we could not see. for the second be was on all fours he was no longer visible. Rather to ' my surprise he uttered no sound for bear; when hit or when, charging often make a great noise so I raced toward tbe edge of the hollow, the hunter close behind me. while Ammal danced about In the rear, very , much excited,' as Indians always are in tbe presence of big game. Tbe instant we reached the hollow and looked down Into it from the low bank on which we stood we saw by the swaying of the tall plants that tbe bear was coming our way. .The hunter was standing some ten feet distant, a hemlock trunk being between us; and the next moment the bear sprang clean up tho bank the other side of the hemlock, and almost within arm's length of my companion.' I do not think he had intended to charge; he was probably confused by the bullet through his neck, and bad by chance blundered out of the hollow in our direction; but when he saw the hunter so close he turned for him, his hair bristling and his teeth showing. The man had no cartridge la his weapon, and with his pack on could not have used -it anyhow; and for a moment it looked as if he stood a fair chance of being hurt As the beast sprang out of tbe hollow he poised for a second on the edge of the bank to recover his balance, giving me a beautiful shot, as he stood sideways to me; tho bullet struck between the eye and ear, and he fell as if hit .. with a polo axe.'. Our prise was a large black bear, with two curious brown streaks down his back, one on each aide tho spine. We skinned him and camped by the carcass, as it was growing late. To take the chill off the evening air we built a huge lire, the logs roaring and crackling. To one side of It we made our beds of 'balsam and hemlock boughs; we did not build a brash leanto, because the night seemed likely to bo clear. Then we supped on sugarleas tea, frying-pan bread, and quantities of bear meat fried or -roasted and bow very good It, tasted only toot anow wno nave gone taroogn much hardship and some little hunger, and hare worked violently tor several day without flesh food. The morning after killing Bruin, we again took up our march, beading up stream, that we mljht go to its sources acafcUt tba mountains, where the snow fields fed Its springs. It was two full days' Journey thither, but we took much longer to make it. as we kept baiting to hunt the adjoining mountains. Oa such occasions Ammal was left as camp guard, while the whit hunter ana I would start by daybreak and return at dark utterly worn out by the excessive fatigue. We knew tstSJftx carUMOL nor. where to-Jmni

for tliem; and we "hail been told that' thus early In the season they were above tree limit on tbe mountaj sides. Until within a couple of days of turning our faces back towards the lake we did not come across any caribou; and saw but a few old signs; and we began to be fearful lest we should have to return without getting any, for our shoes bad been cut to ribbons by the sharp rocks, we were almost out of flour, and therefore had but little to eat. ; However, our perseverance was destined to be rewarded. r: Tbe first day after reaching our final tamp.- we hunted across a set of -spurs and hollows, but saw nothing living. The next day we started early, determined to take a long walk and follow the main stream up to its bead, or at least above timber line. The hunter struck so brisk a pace. . , plunging through thickets and leaping from log to log in the slashes of fallen timber, and from boulder to boulder in crossing the rock-slides, that I could hardly keep up to him, struggle as I would, and we each of us got several ugly tumbles, saving our rifles at tbe expense of scraped hands and bruised bodies. We went up one side of the stream, intending to come down the other; for the forest belt was narrow enough to hunt thoroughly. For two or three hours we toiled through dense growth. Then we came to a spur of open hemlock forest; and no sooner had we entered it than the hunter stopped and pointed exultingly to a well-marked game trail, in which It was easy at a glance to discern the great round foot prints of our quarry. We hunted care fully, over the spur and found several trails, generally - leading down along tbe ridge; we also found a number of beds, some old and some. recent usually placed where tbe animal could keep a lookout for any foe coming up from the valley. They were merely slight hollows or identations In the pineneedles; and. like the game trails. were placed in localities . similar to those that would be chosen by black tail Seer. The caribou droppings were also very plentiful; and there were signs of where they had browsed on the blueberry bushes, cropping off the Giving me a beautiful shot, cm he stood tideways to me. berries, and also' apparently of where they , had here and there plucked a mouthful of a peculiar kind of moss, or cropped off some little mushrooms. But tbe beasts themselves had evident ly left tbe ridge, and we went on. ' After a little while the valley be came so high that tbe large timber ceased, and there were only occasional groves of spindling evergreens. Beyond the edge of the big timber was a large boggy tract studded with little pools; and here again we found plenty of caribou tracks. A caribou has an enormous foot bigger than a cow's. and admirably adapted for traveling over snow or bogs; hence they can pass through places where the long slender hoofs of moose or deer, or tho round hoofs of elk. would let their owners sink at once; and they are very difficult to kill by following on snowshoes a method much in vogue among the brutal game butchers for slaughtering tbe more helpless animals. Spreading out his great hoofs, and bending his legs till he walks almost on tbe joints, a caribou will travel swiftly over a crust through which a moose breaks at every stride, or through deep snow in which a deer cannot flounder fifty yards. Usually he trots; but when pressed be will spring awkward ly along, leaving tracks in tbe snow almost exactly like magnified Imprints of those of a great rabbit tho long marks of the two hind legs forming an angle with each other, while the forefeet make a large point almost be tween. . The caribou had wandered all over the bogs and through the shallow pools, but evidently only at night or in the dusk, when feeding or in coming to drink; and we again went on. Soon the timber disappeared almost entireiy, and th&k brushwood took Its place; we were In a high, bars alpine valley, tho snow lying in drifts along the skies. In pSices there bad been enormous .rock-slides, entirely filling no the. bottom, so that for a Quarter of a mile at a' stretch the Btrea m- ran uneVergrouad. In the rock masses of this alpine valley we, aa usual, saw many conies and hosry woodebucks. The cariboo trails bad ceased, and It was evident that tho beasts were not ahead of us in the barren, treeless repasses between,, the moongdn jt

AFTER A rock" and siiowf t&d'we turner tak down the valley, crossing over to the opposite or south side of the stream. We had already eaten . our scanty lunch, for it was afternoon. For sev eral miles of hard walking, through thicket, marsh, and rock-slide, we saw no traces of the game. . Then we reached the forest, which soon widen ed out,' and crept up the mountain sides; and we came to where another stream entered the one we were following. A high, steep shoulder between tbe two vallyes was covered with an open growth of great hemlock timber, and in this we again found the trails and beds plentiful. ; There was. no breeze, and after beating through the forest nearly to its upper edge, we began to go down the ridge, or point of the shoulder. The comparative freedom from brushwood made it easy to walk without noise, and we descended the steep incline with the utmost care. scanning every Object and using every caution not to slip on ' tbe hemlock needles, nor to strike a stone; or break a stick with our feet The sign was very fresh, and when still bait a mile or so from tbe bottom we at last came on three bull caribou. : - . V J Instantly the hunter crouched down. while I ran - noiselessly forward be hind tbe shelter . of a big hemlock trunk until within fifty yards of the grazing and unconscious quarry. They were feeding with their heads up-hlll. but so greedily that they had not seen us; and they-were rather difficult to see themselves. ' for their bodies harmonized well in color with tbe brown tree-trunks and lichen-covered boul ders. .J Tbe largest a big bull with a good but by no means extraordinary head, was nearest As he stood fronting me with his head down I fired into his neck, breaking the bone, and he turned a tremendous.' back somersault Tbe other two baited a second In Stunned terror; then one, a yearling, rushed past us up the valley down which we had come, while the other, a large bull with small antlers, crossed right in front of me, at a canter, his neck thrust out and his head so coarselooking compared to the delicate outlines of an elk's turned towards me. His movements seemed clumsy and awkward, utterly unlike those of a deer; but be bandied bis great hoofs cleverly enough, and broke5 into a headlong, rattling gallop as he went down tbe hillside, crashing through the saplings- and leaping over tbe fallen logs. There was a spur a little beyond, and up this he went at a swinging trot halting when he reached the top, and turning to look at me once more. He was only a hundred yards away; and though I had not intended to shoot him (for bis bead was not good), the temptation was sore; and I was glad when. In another sec ond, the stupid beast turned again and went off up the valley at a slashing run. :, CHILLY 111 10IID0II London. June 26. In contrast to having a period of cold, rainy weather which is creating much discomfort The weather resembles November rather than June. The king's birth day parade by the Guards was called off .today on account of the inclement lean tourists who had gathered hero to see it The parade is usually the mist brilliant display of the season. FOR CHOPSOM HOME The contract for the Chopson Home at Warren, InL, in which all Richmond Methodists are Interested, has been awarded. : The structure will cost $28,000. The work is to begin - at once and be completed by- January 1, 1910. Tha place will not be ready for occupancy at that time, however, as the specifications for the heating contract and - other equipment doss not specify that data.
