I laughed. “So the better the trap¬ 
per you are, George, the harder a time 
you will have later on.” 
“Sure thing! But it ain’t much of a 
laughin’ matter.” 
We found only the dark-brown paw 
of a marten in the next trap. Wolver¬ 
ine tracks told the rest of the tale. The 
loss of that marten alone meant a dif-1 
ference of some forty dollars to the 
trapper’s day’s work, so little wonder 
it angered George. And the worst of 
it was, it was hard to tell how far this 
trouble would continue. As George re¬ 
marked, “When a wolverine gets on 
your lines, you’ve got to get him, or 
get off the line yourself.” 
George’s first wolverine trap was un¬ 
sprung. ^ The second sent him raging 
again. “See that,” he cried, “and say 
the wolverine is not the trapper’s 
spirit! Would you believe a brute to 
have that much savee?” 
It was a wooden trap with a heavy 
fall beam. George had been unable 
to find a large hollow tree, but he had 
found two trees growing practically 
together, so he had set his trap be¬ 
tween, with the usual small upright 
stick in the centre, to the bottom of 
which the bait was attached, the heavy 
beam resting on the very edge of the 
small upright so that when the bait 
was pulled from the front, below, the 
upright would slip and down would 
come the heavy beam on the wolverine. 
There had been a little open space 
at the back between the trees and in 
order to make only one entrance and 
that by the front, George had strongly 
blocked up the back with great pieces 
of cedar bark held securely by frozen 
snow. But now the cedar bark was 
strewn everywhere. The wolverine had 
examined the trap carefully, then he 
had gone to the back and pulled away 
the cedar bark, entering that way and 
eating the bait from the upright. Of 
course, every time he pulled at the 
bait he simply made the beam more 
secure in its place, for he was pulling 
in exactly the opposite direction from 
what George had intended he should. 
To make George more exasperated, he 
had leisurely walked out by the front 
way when he had gorged himself.

Fred C. Kelly is a well-known writer 
with a hobby. He has planned and 
built a small cabin in the Maine woods 
that just suits him. In an interesting 
article appearing next month, he tells 
how he secured compactness by careful 
planning. The article is well illustrated 
and may help some readers to secure 
just what they want in the lodge they 
intend to build.
