 lake. N. soon came for us ladies, and we were 

 glad to go into the canoe for a deer chase in 

 the lake. Our only thought was, " if L. were 

 only here." Our guide, who was always will- 

 ing to please us, left us with the beautiful 

 deer, paddled ashore, and then ran hatless 

 to the other lake, a mile or more distant. 

 He succeeded in finding L., who ran with
