ed exercise at that altitude ; but oh, the 

 glorious air, the joy of life and motion 

 that was quite unknown to my recep- 

 tion-young and frivolous self in the dim 

 far away East ! 



We searched for that lake all day, 

 and at nightfall went home confident 

 that we could find it on the morrow. 



Mrs. Cummings* smile clearly ex- 

 pressed 'I told you so,' and she re- 

 marked as she served supper : " When 

 my husband comes home next week, 

 he will take you where you can find 

 game." 



The next morning we again took 

 some lunch in the saddle bag and start- 

 ed for that elusive spot we had chris- 

 tened Cummings' Lake. About three 

 o'clock we found it a beautiful patch 

 of water in the heart of the forest, 

 nestling like a jewel, back in the moun- 

 tains.
