PAN’S FOLLOWERS. 
Continued from page 451. 
a second later fully made out the form of a deer 
standing with its shoulders obscured by a tree 
trunk. As it quartered away from our position, 
the shot offered was all that could be desired, and 
pushing up the sight, I obtained a kneeling rest, 
and drawing very fine, pulled trigger. At the 
report our quarry ran hard down the hill, and 
we could hear the bushes crack, sounds which 
showed he was running wild. As yet I had not 
seen his head, but from the size, drew con¬ 
clusion that it must be a buck. Going directly to 
the place where the animal stood when I fired, we 
took up the trail and followed it down the hill. 
He won’t go far now,’ Rube said, presently, 
as he pointed to the leaves; and from here the 
trail was very plain. It doubled back, however, 
going at right angles down into the valley. 
Suddenly my companion cried: 
‘‘‘There he is, behind that stub; and a nice 
buck, too!’ 
“ ‘We’ll have to shake on that,’ he added a 
moment later, and we did so. Although not 
carrying a large pair of horns, the animal was in 
prime condition and weighed some 230 pounds. 
The ball had struck about five inches behind the 
foreleg and come out through the opposite 
shoulder. Rube surveyed our prize with a grin 
and then turned toward ,me. 
“ ‘You know the Indians used ter say that a 
dry summer meant small horns and a wet season 
big ones.’ 1 he^ truth of this theory impressed 
me at once, and it seems natural enough that a 
moist, rainy summer which would give a rank 
and more succulent growth of vegetation, would 
likewise nourish the soft, pulpy development of a 
deer’s horns.” 
After securing our game against the chance 
invasion of any nocturnal marauders, we turned 
our steps toward home and reached there just 
as the first stars were brightening in the dusky 
zenith to find the lamps gleaming a comfortable 
welcome from the uncurtained windows. Since 
then I have frequently recalled the memory of 
that walk; of the trees standing gaunt, vague 
and unreal amid the shadows, and the cool fre- 
grance that seemed to overflow those dim path¬ 
ways; of Rube striding ahead through the misty 
gloom, and of an unutterable silence, broken oc¬ 
casionally by an owl’s voice. I remember well 
how previous disappointments were erased from 
my mind and how after rehearsing the after¬ 
noon’s performance at least a dozen times, I fell 
to dreaming of the unraveled mysteries that must 
necessarily surround me, and of creatures whose 
very footfalls seemed to patter softly on the dead 
leaves. 
There was an endearing influence, a thrill, a 
pulse beat of exhilaration in every step we took 
that night. _ The imagination went out to meet 
the mysteries of the forest, and fancy breathed 
warmth and life and music into the senses. 
Autumnal storms, especially in the North Woods, 
descend with a vengeance. Perhaps we go to bed 
in summer, the hunter’s moon glinting warmly 
through our open window, and wake up to find 
several inches of snow covering the ground. Dur¬ 
ing October of last year it stormed for three 
days, almost without intermission, shredding and 
pulling the leaves from the branches and flaunt¬ 
ing their tatters in the icy wind. The country

“HOW TO BUILD A LAUNCH FROM PLANS” 
A complete illustrated work on the building of motor 
boats and the installing, care and running of gasolene 
motors. By Charles G. Davis. With 40 diagrams, 
9 folding drawings and 8 full-page plans. Price,

The author is a builder and designer of national repu¬ 
tation. All the instruction given is definite and com¬ 
prehensive, 40 diagrams, 9 folding drawings and 8-full- 
page plans. That portion of the boat devoted to the use 
and care of gas engines should be most carefully perused 
by every individual who operates one. The book is well 
worth the price asked for it.
