The First Day 
of the Season with 
Infallible 
‘Tell it to us, old boy, for 
you know just as well as we, 
that this is the first day of 
the season. Do your part in 
starting the rabbit, and we’ll 
do ours with Infallible.”

Also the “attack”. Heaven knows it 
was realistic enough, there in the middle 
of a northern lake at two in the dark 
morning, with only the frail ribs of a 
canvass canoe between him and ns. It 
was certainly real enough as an attack, 
— hadn’t I felt the mighty push of him 
as he strove to beat us down with his 
terrible hoofs? Hadn’t I held him off by 
main strength with the lantern in his 
horns? Hadn’t Fred Waters pushed him 
back with the paddle? Yes, — bat it 
wasn’t an attack after all, — it was only 
a “strategic retreat”. 
W HAT Charlie Cremin said was 
true. The flare of the searchlight 
was in his eyes, as he came on 
with mane bristling and teeth bared. 
But he did not see us and he did not 
smell us. He was making straight for 
where he was headed and we just hap- 
pened to be in the way. It was like 
that young bull we had played with on 
the beach, like all the rest, deer and 
cows too, — the magic of the searchlight 
hypnotized them all. They looked only 
at the light. And I fancy it seemed like 
some huge moon risen miraculously out 
of the night. At any rate, there was no 
doubt about the moose being blinded, for 
the instant the light was turned away 
and he saw us, away he went too. 
So with a picture in our minds, etched 
deep by the fairy wonder and magic of 
the night, we stole homeward again, too 
fagged for further prowling. Only the 
silence of the wilderness came to us like 
a soothing hand; only the star-sheen 
where we floated between two skies 
brought grateful peace, while afar, over 
the fir-fringed mountains of Nepisiguit 
the mystic lights of Aurora Borealis 
burned like liquid fire through veiled 
gems, as we drew up our canoe, and then 
we silently faded away to warm blankets 
and pleasant dreams.

moments, I stepped out from my con- 
cealment behind the brush and being 
sighted by the crows, they flew away. 
When I went nearer the stub and called 
to Tabby, he opened his eyes and looked 
around for his enemies, but not seeing 
them he glanced at me with a friendly 
meow and scurried down the stub and 
into the brush and for home as fast as he 
possibly could.
