An occassional drop of blood on the 
leaves or twigs showed us where he 
had gone into the “bush.” Unfortu- 
hately there was no snow. With con- 
siderable difficulty we followed his trail 
for perhaps fifty yards, then we lost it 
and neither of us could find a trace. 
The Indian circled and recircled but 
finally came in and said he could find 
no track. 
Failure again stared me in the face. 
The day was almost gone and the deep 
shadows of the forest were hiding our 
prize. Finally I said, “Frank, look 
once more and if you find that wolf 
I’ll give you five dollars.” He replied, 
“Me try hard,” and started on a wide 
circle. Several minutes later he yelled 
that he had found a drop of blood on 
a leaf. I hastened to him and together 
we followed along the wolf trail. 
Through swale and swamp, over ridges, 
down valleys, and then up over high 
hills with trees and brush so thick we 
could hardly pass. The sun was get- 
ting low. Three times I glimpsed a 
large shadowy form ahead of us, but 
each time it disappeared. Once I fired 
where I thought it should be, but this 
only served to hurry him all the more. 
One other time I tried to run him down 
in a thicket but he could run the faster, 
and a deep bush cut on one of my 
ears discouraged me from that course 
of procedure. 
E found where he had lain baad 
but had hurried on when we ap- 
proached. He went up over a high 
hill and circled back into a swamp. 
Dark was fast approaching and al- 
though we had laboriously tracked the 
wolf for more than a mile we were 
forced to admit that he had outwitted 
us. A trophy more desired by hunters 
than a bearskin or a moose head had 
been almost within our reach, and had 
escaped. I felt sick and disappointed. 
Miles of strange forest and three 
lakes separated us from camp. It was 
almost dark and to have attempted to 
reach camp would have only resulted in 
failure, exhaustion and perhaps a 
broken leg. We had nothing for camp- 
ing out, no blankets, not even our hunt- 
ing coats. We had practically no food, 
save our tea, which we had not used at 
noon, and a little chocolate. Fortu- 
nately just at sundown I shot a par- 
tridge. This assured us of something 
to eat, however primitive the cooking 
of it might be. 
We blazed a tree at the point where 
darkness had forced us to abandon the 
wolf trail, and then we hurried back 
to the little lake where the trail had 
started. Here we gathered together 
firewood for the night, birch to start 
the fire and dead tamarack to keep it 
going. A good fire meant our chief 
comfort, for neither of us had warm 
clothes. The tea I divided and saved

Navajos are alike on both sides; they do not curl; 
Just the attributes you are looking for in an ideal 
tug. The large majority of rugs come in a combination of gray, black, white and red, with either 
the red, white or gray predominating, For living-rooms and porches gray backgrounds are generally 
the best; for bedrooms, bathrooms and camping blankets, get white backgrounds; 
the red backgrounds give that fine touch of color that warms the 
heart and lends a distinctive air to the scheme of decoration. 
If not satisfactory they may be returned in exchange for others, 
You pay express charges both ways. 
THE NAVAJO RUG | 
AVAJO Indian Rugs are woven by hand of sheep’s wool in fascinating designs 
They are the only hand wrought floor coverings made by a 
primitive people in the United States. 
The weaving is done by the women and young girls, the latter being taught some of the steps as 
early as four years old. The great fear of the old Chiefs is that as civilization encroaches upon the 
tribe, the art of weaving will gradually die out, and every effort is being made to perpetuate the 
remarkable artistry and crafthood that has made the Rugs of the Navajos superior in some ways 
easy to clean; wear for more years than any 
and for dens,
