FOREST AND STREAM.

struck boldly into the woods, and, at a few miles’ 
distance, falling upon a fresh buffalo trail, he 
pushed on for several miles with great eager¬ 
ness. Despairing at' length, however, of over¬ 
taking them, as the evening came on, he began 
to retrace his steps, and, as he had taken a con¬ 
siderable circuit, lie determined to cut across the 
hills, and reach the village by a shorter way. 
He soon became inextricably involved in the 
mazes of the forest, and at dark found himself 
completely bewildered. He fired his gun re¬ 
peatedly, in the hope of being heard, but his 
signal was unanswered, and he wandered through 
the woods the whole night, unable to find his 
way home. 
Early in the morning’, the Indians, suspecting 
that he had deserted, started in pursuit, .but 
observing the zigzag manner in which the young 
woodsman had marched, they soon became satis¬ 
fied of the truth, and their anger was changed 
to laughter and contempt. Smith was found, but 
his rifle was taken from him, and a bow and 
arrow, the weapons of a boy, were placed in his 
hands. Though still treated with undiminished 
kindness by all, yet it was evidently mingled 
with compassion and contempt for his ignorance 
of the woods. 
He was now placed under the particular care 
of Tontileaugo, his adopted brother, and a re¬ 
nowned hunter and warrior. With the aid of 
his directions, he soon learned all the mysteries 
of hunting. He trapped beaver, killed deer, 
bear and buffalo, with great skill and readiness, 
and, in the course of the winter, rose consider¬ 
ably in reputation. The warriors were still ab¬ 
sent, and the women and children depended on 
them entirely for subsistence. 
At times they were three days without food, 
particularly when the snow became hard, and the 
noise, which they made in walking on the crust 
frightened the deer, so that they would not 
come within gunshot. The only resource then 
was, to seek for bear trees; that is, for large 
hollow trees in which bears lay concealed during 
the winter. The hole is generally from thirty 
to fifty feet from the ground, and the hunters are 
often compelled to climb up and apply fire,, in 
order to drive bruin out, who obstinately main¬ 
tains his ground, until nearly stifled with smoke; 
and then, snuffling and growling, he shows him- 
,self at the mouth of the hole for a little fresh 
air. The hunter stations himself below, and fires 
upon him as soon as he appears. Toward spring, 
the survivors generally return, and game is then 
killed in abundance.

Most Americans are connoisseurs in Cocktails — and a con¬ 
noisseur’s taste demands uniformity in the flavor, strength 
and mixing of his favorite drink. There’s only one kind 
of uniformly good cocktail—CLUB COCKTAILS. Bar 
cocktails are slap-dash guesswork—good by accident, bad 
by rule—but never smooth or uniform to a cultivated 
taste. CLUB COCKTAILS are scientifically blended 
from choicest liquors, aged and mellowed to delicious 
flavor and aroma. Insist on CLUB.

My Dear Sir —Having just returned from a visit 
to Gen’l F. A. Bond, Hunters’ Lodge, N. C., I 
hasten to thank you for having put me in com¬ 
munication with that gentleman. Certainly no one 
could ask more than a comfortable home, a luxu¬ 
rious table, pleasant society and an abundance of 
game within easy reach; and all of this General 
Bond offers those who are fortunate enough to be 
his guests, and when in addition to this, one finds 
his charges extremely moderate, it is certainly 
what you described as a “Bonanza.” Thanking you 
again for your valuable assistance, I am yours 
faithfully,
