steep places. One man can carry all the 
food and his blankets with gun and rod. 
The second takes the tent and stove, his 
blankets, gun and rod. The third should 
carry the tinware, his blankets, gun and 
rod. And if there are any other knick- 
knacks left, they can be given to the one 
who has the least awkward pack to tote. 
A REPAIR kit can be made from oil- 
cloth to hold needles for repairing 
the tent, packs and clothes, and can be 
sewed to the inside of the coat. Do not 
carry thread on spools. They are too 
bulky. Wind off the thread on cardboard 
if you cannot buy it put up this way. A 
few' extra shoelaces may go in this kit 
for future use; a compass that can be 
carried in the watch pocket makes the 
whole. 
One of the others should have a “first 
aid” kit in his pack filled with several 
bandages and ointment for possible and 
probable emergency. If it is fly time do 
not forget some skeeter netting for your 
sleeping hours. Some ointments are fair- 
ly good, but most of them are offensive 
as well as useless. A square of oilcloth 
to serve as a table cloth is nice to have 
but not really necessary. 
Lea\e your fishing basket at home. A 
forked stick will do as well and you can 
throw it away when it has served its 
purpose. Among the other things that it 
is well to leave at home are the gun cov- 
ers — keep your gun well oiled instead, 
and the extra hats and caps. An old felt 
will answer all needs. Bait — -you can dig 
it; alarm clocks — you won’t need one in 
the woods; musical instruments — none, 
except a good mouth organ. The birds 
will supply you w’ith music. Water can- 
teens — you will find all the water you 
want and more too. 
If you are going into the woods this 
year, follow these suggestions as nearly 
as possible and you will pass your time 
with greater comfort and security than 
ever before, but remember, these sugges- 
tions are for three men during a period 
of three weeks and make your prepara- 
tions accordingly.

promise of unsettled weather it was 
agrreed, if the conditions continued, to 
meet on the bridge the follow'ing morning 
at an early hour. Mr. Adams was to 
notify Mr. Woodhulh Matt, while doing 
his evening chores came suddenly face to 
face with his bait pail doing service to 
the chickens. “Crickey,” he said, “it 
went plum out’en my mind, now most 
anythin’s good enough for chicken drink- 
in’ but Aunt Mary’s Aunt Mary, an’ the’s 
no tollin’ what she’ll say.” He scratched 
his head reflectively. 
B efore it was fully light the next 
morning she heard Matt in his room, 
then going lightly down stairs. By 
the time his work was done and he was 
back in the house breakfast was ready, 
much to his delight. “I was thinkin’,” he 
began as he drank the last of his coffee.
