cool drink of nice water is ever in order on their travels. 
They cut off a sprout high up as they can reach, and place 
upon it an empty condensed milk can to be used as a dipper, 
when they or others shall pass by again. This the boys 
have frequently done in their cruisings over the old roads and 
upon the line wherever nice water is passed, so many are 
distributed about the forest. As they pass the mouth of the 
brook running in at a deep cove, Joe, with his flies, takes a 
few small trout and one fine one, that gives him lots of 
pleasure, lights up his face, and causes him to crow just a little

over its very narrow neck close to the main land, instead of 
paddling far around as usual, the high stage of water now

Here along the shore is quite a feeding ground for the deer, 
and at a low stage of water shows much water-grass that

round, looks toward the shore and low bushes, and quickly 
jumps among them and is out of sight. Then sounds are 
heard of her lamb, when the mother quickly answers; more 
jumping is heard, and they soon see mother and fawn both 
wildly leaping through the shaal water over the narrow neck 
the boat had just passed, hurrying to the main land, the 
mother leading, the little spotted fawn close behind. As they 
reach the woods they hear a few sounds from them and all is 
quiet. Could they see the deer once more at this moment,
