Leather Coat 
Every true sportsman values un- 
restricted action — and, while he likes 
to keep warm, hates to be “bundled up. v 
That’s where Town St Country Leather 
Coats are ahead of the game. 
The soft leather lining and sleeves, in 
combination with the flexible plaited 
back, permit absolute freedom of action 
and keep you comfortably warm on the 
coldest of days. There’s extra snug- 
ness, too, in the knitted wristlets and 
the patent Knit-Nek, which never 
sags. For all-round, outdoor, cold- 
weather service you can’t beat ’em.

WRITE FOREST AND STREAM, BOOK DEPT., 9 EAST 40TH ST., NEW YORK CITY 
suddenly we left their shelter and were 
on the edge of the great “Barrens,” 
which stretched for miles to the north, 
east and south of us. We stood look- 
ing about, and then not more than a 
quarter of a mile from us we saw 
two bulls, or stags, as they were locally 
called, walking about, feeding on the 
moss and grass and occasionally look- 
ing over the open country on the watch 
for danger. We drew lots to see who 
should go after the largest bull, and 
as I came out second I had a chance 
to go along and see the fun of the 
first hunt. For a short distance we 
were sheltered by a group of junipers 
and could walk along upright, being 
only mindful of keeping quiet. After 
we lost the protection of the trees we 
took to our hands and knees, keeping 
behind some friendly bush for shelter, 
with an occasional crawl from bush to 
bush, flat on the ground. 
After quite a stalk we were within 
one hundred and fifty yards of the two 
caribou, and at the second shot the 
largest bull crashed to the ground. His 
horns were in the velvet, as we had 
feared they would be, as it was only 
the first of September, but as they were 
heavy and had twenty-nine points they 
made a fine trophy. While some of 
the party made camp the others cut 
up the caribou and hung up the meat 
and scalp, so that we were soon ready 
for supper, which tasted good after 
our long walk up from the lake, though 
not cooked any too well. In fact, from 
this time on we helped with all the 
cooking as the guides preferred every- 
thing boiled, which soon grew tiresome. 
It had been a fine day, and owing 
to the clear air we had very distant 
views over the “Barrens,” which were 
different from anything we had seen. 
D AY after day we went out as early 
as we could get away from camp. 
One day one of the party would 
return with a good head, and possibly 
the next day another was fortunate, 
but for an entire week I hunted before 
I even saw a stag worth shooting. One 
morning I left camp at five-thirty with 
Maxim and walked up and down hills, 
through and around swamps and small 
groves of junipers. For three hours 
we kept steadily on, and then sat down 
for a breathing spell to smoke. Soon 
through our glasses we made out an 
old stag, the old ones being very light 
in color, on a mountain that appeared 
bluish, owing to the atmosphere. We 
got up and started after him, but had 
not gone more than twenty yards when 
a big stag appeared from around a 
point of woods about two hundred yards 
from us. It was open country and we 
saw that there was no way that we 
could get closer, so we decided it would 
be necessary to shoot from where we 
stood, partly sheltered by an old 
weather-beaten tree. 
I was in the act of raising my rifle 
to shoot when he lay down, much to our 
surprise, with his head away from 
us. It was easy then to approach as 
near as we wanted to, so when about 
seventy-five yards off Maxim shouted
