the fur along as a real trapper should. 
He never over-trapped, and so did not 
frighten the animals away. He reck¬ 
oned their stock value as just so much 
money in the bank. It was a close 
season for beaver, but George had some 
otter traps laid, and with these he 
caught several otter. The otter trap is 
unbaited and set on what is called an- 
otter slide. The otter is a sportive 
fellow, and he and his family have the 
habit of sliding or toboganning over 
the banks into the streams. The trap¬ 
per of course is wise to this and lays 
his traps accordingly. 
Further on, George stopped me up 
at a very interesting tree. It was one 
used by bears to put their mark or 
“blaze” on. Each bear seems to read 
its indications and, before he leaves, 
adds his own autograph. There were 
scratches on this tree from tiny bear 
marks to great grizzly rips nine feet 
from the ground. 
Early that afternoon we reached the 
welcome spot upon which was situated 
George’s cabin, fourteen miles out from 
Sugar Lake, on the banks of the Shu- 
swap River. It was the only cabin on 
his lines, for the marten trapper has 
to change his route so often that it 
does not pay him to build cabins over 
any particular line. We had almost 
to search to find this cabin of his; it 
had become snowed under, only a hole 
at the entrance indicating its situation. 
It was a cheerless place, bare even of 
necessities, but it contained a bunk, a 
sheet metal stove that warmed the 
place in five minutes, lots of pots and 
pans, candles and a trunk full of spare 
eatables, so, after all, it was a not un¬ 
welcome hole. 
Before going to sleep, as we lay 
looking up at the rafters, George told 
me stories as usual. He told me how 
he had set out once from this same 
cabin after caribou. He had followed 
them for several days, but followed too 
far and the supply of food that he 
carried ran short. When it was too 
late he turned back, but the weather 
broke and what took him three days 
to do going, took him nine returning, 
with the result that it was only his 
good luck in striking a trap-line and 
eating the frozen and putrid bait out 
of the traps that he got through at 
all. 
He told me of men who had to eat 
their dogs to get out of the winter 
forests, of men with frozen feet who 
crept for days on their hands and 
knees, of men who went hopelessly in¬ 
sane with the solitude of the winter 
in some far-off cabins; then, when wt 
got drowsy and I started to get up to 
put out the candle at the other end ol 
the room he told me to lie where 1 
was and, taking his revolver from its 
holster, he fired at the tiny flame and 
la writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will identify you.
