U OREST AND STREAM 
fox, at the bottom and naturally un- 
folded it. J 
“What the devil have you got here?” 
he ejaculated, holding the pelt up toward 
the light. Whereupon followed a dis- 
cussion as to what kind of fox it was 
and its probable worth. We figured if it 
was only a cross fox it would bring per- 
haps fifty dollars, while if a silver gray 
we would realize at least eight hundred. 
We were not long in doubt as to the kind 
it represented — some fellows by the 
name of Brown happened along on their 
way to trapping grounds on the Little 
Smoky_ and one of them told us that 
our skin was a number 1 silver gray. 
Whereupon our hopes soared heaven- 
ward and we immediately made prepara- 
tions to hit for the outside and secure 
a good grubstake and additional equip- 
ment. Naturally, being greenhorns, we 
thought it quite probable that we might 
get another bird of the same color in 
the same trap ! 
Our first disappointment came when 
a fur buyer offered us a hundred and 
twenty-five dollars for the silver. Nat- 
urally we were insulted at such a small 
offer and Cy was for throwing the fel- 
low into a snowdrift. Old John looked 
the skin over carefully and told us 
frankly that we might get two hundred 
for it. 
At Edson we encountered a small 
army of buyers, each of whom offered 
disappointingly small amounts for our 
furs. But that was the least of our 
troubles — Cy had a letter stating that 
his mother wasn’t expected to live. We 
sold our entire lot of furs, lynx, minks, 
foxes, wolves and weasles for a little 
short of seven hundred dollars and my 
cousin and I parted sorrowfully. I will 
admit that the prospect of going back 
into the wilderness alone was not so 
alluring as it might have been; you see, 
I had already tasted some of the dis- 
appointments and knew what I was up 
against. 
The first thing I did was to engage 
a freighter to take a good grubstake up 
north. The snow was not yet too deep 
and a man agreed to take my stuff up 
for five cents a pound. It will readily 
be seen that such rates made stuff pretty 
dear by the time it got to my cabin, but 
I was determined to at least have some- 
thing to eat ! On the way up, it was 
now along in January, the cold was in- 
tense. I afterward learned that it had 
been seventy below zero and during the 
warmest part of the day, with the sun 
shining brightly, the mercury never 
climbed beyond twenty-five degrees be- 
low zero. Every time we crossd an 
open space I froze my cheeks and the 
tip of my nose. This in spite of the fact 
that I hadn’t shaved since November and 
had a wild, scraggly beard to protect my 
face. 
Old John was real glad to see me and 
he admitted that he had hardly expected 
either of us back. The old backwoods 
veteran, accustomed as be was to living 
alone, admitted that he often grew de- 
spondent, due to the effects of so much 
solitude. I was shortly to realize what 
real loneliness meant.
