softening touch, while a pronounced crimson 
glow on the horizon, left in the scintillating- 
wake of the declining sun, slowly resolved into 
pale yellow. Presently, soft purple tints cast 
their delicate shades upon the lighter hues and 
day gradually withdrew, leaving the meditating 
world to the watchful stars, the frowning moon 
and twinkling camp lights along the shores. 
We departed the Raquette Lake House at 
8:30 a. m. and began the Fulton Chain cruise. 
A stream known as Brown's Tract Inlet was 
essayed—the crookedest sheet of water in the 
State; turns are so short that paddles must be 
constantly shifted from one side of the boat to 
the other to prevent running into the banks. 
Between this stream and Eighth Lake a well 
worn carry leads through a labyrinth of small 
trees that in many places hang over the path¬ 
way, forming graceful arbors. Fulton Chain is 
so well known to canoeists it is unnecessary to 
dwell upon this popular route. Eighth Lake is 
probably the most beautiful among this system 
of lakes. Fourth is the largest. Black bass 
are caught very plentifully in these waters. 
Many cottages and hotels adorn the shores, and 
the few short carries make the trip altogether 
delightful. 
We arrived at Old Forge House 5:30 p. m., 
Sept. 15. Our travels over inviting waters, 
through the labyrinths of the hospitable forests 
and our fraternity with wild hostages of the 
wilderness ended in one of nature’s most gorge¬ 
ous seasons. The soft maple was sending its 
first blood-red tinge from the green of the 
mountainside and vanishing glories of summer 
days enraptured the world. For two city chaps, 
we were disgustingly healthy. Let those whose 
summer vacation consists of a hotel veranda, 
a straw hat and a pair of white flannel trousers 
have their whim, but you of the red corpuscles 
by all means get into the woods, sleep on the 
ground, eat whatever you get smilingly, and 
breathe the invigorating air of the living forests. 
Your course on earth will be longer and 
happier. In other words, go canoeing.*

HUNTER 
ONE- 
TRIGGER 
In the brush or at the traps you want to 
feel sure of your gun. A second’s loss of time means 
the loss of your bird or a failure to score in the competition. 
The strongest insurance policy the world over for sports¬ 
men is a Hammerless Smith Gun with the Hunter 
One-Trigger attachment. 
THE HUNTER ONE-TRIGGER gives a pull, short, clean 
and quick. There’s no creep or drag. The speed of the 
mechanism far exceeds the speed of the trigger finger. The 
aim is not disturbed because there is no relaxing, no re¬ 
gripping, no accommodating yourself to the different lengths 
of the stock—but just a firm, steady grip and pull. 
The very newest Hammerless Smith Gun is the 20-Gauge Hunter 
One-Trigger —and it’s a beauty. Weighs only 5 V 
to 7 lbs. Just the finest gun that can be made at 
the price—simply all gun 
IP and no frills. Be sure 
to ask your dealer 
about it.

Camp-Fires of the Wilderness. 
By E. W. Burt. Cloth. Illustrated. 221 pages. Price, 
$1.25. 
The volume treats of a multitude of matters of in¬ 
terest to the camper, who, unless he is made comfortable 
tv the exercise of a little expert knowledge and thought¬ 
fulness, may find himself when in camp the most miser¬ 
able of mortals. A man who has had experience, makes 
himself as comfortable in camp as at home, while the 
free and independent life, the exercise that he is con¬ 
stantly taking, the fresh air in which he works, eats and 
sleeps, combine to render his physical condition so per 
feet that every hour of every day is likely to be a joy. 
“Camp-Fires of the Wilderness” is written for those 
persons who wish to go into camp, yet are without ex¬ 
perience of travel, chiefly by canoe and on foot, through 
various sections of the country, and it may be read with 
profit by every one who enjoys camping.
