gorgeous scenery I might never lay eyes 
on again. 
The expedition to Alaska was nearing 
an end. What an inspiring experience 
it had been ! It broadened my view on 
life, reinforced my appreciation of our | 
great country and infused in me new 
hope and fresh ambition. Many years | 
will pass before I forget those swift || 
dangerous rivers, the mysterious silent 
pass between the mountains and the 
slow relentless crushing ice of the great 
glaciers. 
A WHISP OF CAPE COD

a cold, steel gray, while, as if in slow 
pursuit, the August moon rose in its 
track. 
The ethics of the blinds are delightful. 
The man first on the marsh claims the 
best blind — whoever built it. But this 
is mere locum tencns. When the owner 
appears he gently evicts the usurper 
with much regretful courtesy, and the 
dispossessed one seeks second-best, until, 
perhaps, as in my own case, he is driven 
down into his own wretched hovel. 
There is a curious trust in the truthful- 
ness of those who evict. I have seldom 
known the right of place to be disputed. 
Once, when I found my bedslats occu- 
pied, I politely urged withdrawal. This 
time I encountered a most ancient and^ 
thorough-going grouch : “Do yo4t,”^^ he 
snarled, “own this here meadow?” I 
denied the soft impeachment, but pro-j 
fessed devotion to these particular bed- 
slats. To which he reiterated: “Wa-al, 
how long since you owned this meadow ?” 
Whereupon I drew a touching picture of 
the particular four-poster from which’ 
those slats were extracted; related a 
harrowing tale of portage, building, and 
digging in the mud. He was inclined to 
be of flint, but his companion was better- 
mannered, and dragged him forth. The 
wet plank was mine for the morning. 
O N the eve of the open season I sat 
peacefully in my camp, about a mile 
from the marsh. Like any faithful 
hunter I was cleaning my gun for the 
morrow. Suddenly, at sunset, began a 
tremendous cannonading. It was most 
like a premature Fourth of July or, more 
properly, a belated one. The firing con- 
tinued throughout the evening, doubtless 
to the horror of more intelligent plovei 
who had examined the calender and the 
game laws. Certainly not to the sur- 
prise of these early bird hunters whc| 
knew a fact that neither the plover noi 
I learned till later: that all game-war- 
dens had gone to Boston for the after- 
noon. On this of all days ! They were 
business-like enough on the following 
days about demanding licenses, but ai| 
the one critical juncture they were' 
obligingly absent. 
The "shooting of the next morning was 
excellent. The decoys and hunters were 
on the marsh in scores, but the birds 
were even more numerous. Of course : 
the hunters were of all types, men whc 
played the game fairly, for the birds anc ; 
i for their neighbors; others who were;
