ing, starting at the shore and moving 
squarely back imto the woods. It had 
been cleared with unusual care and the 
floor showed a first attempt at grading, 
in preparation for fields at the sides 
and a lawn surrounding the cabin. 
It was a sure bet that no Indian lived 
here, and yet the next instant my eye 
caught the vivid flash of bright colored 
clothes hanging upon a line running 
from a rear corner of the cabin out to 
a high branched pine, one of a half 
dozen others which clustered near the 
cabin. 
I turned and around the corner of 
the cabin caught a glimpse of a pair of 
wide open black eyes set in a frame of 
straight black hair. The “wide eyes” 
were quickly withdrawn to slowly re- 
appear, accompanied this time by a 
smaller edition of “Wide Eyes” just be- 
low. the first. 
My surprised and laughing “Hello 
Kid” produced strange results: a hasty 
shuffle of small running feet, a tumble, 
quickly followed by a squall of fright 
and protest, and then the barking of a 
dog. 
From around the back corner there 
dashed a heavy-shouldered, clean- 
limbed Airdale. On the instant the 
bark was throttled to a throaty growl 
and the neck hairs bristled as he came 
from a dashing run to a deliberate 
stiff-legged walk towards us, the growl 
still reverberating from the deep chest 
and heavy throat. 
SWISH of shirts and a flash of red 
brought another picture upon the 
stage. She was plainly Indian. But, 
while of Indian red, the dress was 
pretty, perhaps because of the perfect 
figure it clothed, or perhaps because 
the flashing black eyes were in such har- 
mony with the crown of clean black 
hair that your eyes accepted the dress 
as a minor. detail. The well-moulded 
features were different from the usual 
unlovely, squat, flat-nosed features of 
the Indian squaw. 
A sharp command of “Hey—you— 
Chips! Hey!” stopped Chips in his 
steady advance, which was beginning 
to get me nervous. Then the lips curved 
into a smile showing two rows of teeth 
that would make a tooth-paste ad green 
with envy: “‘Chips, he’s good dog,” she 
smiled. “Here, you Chips.” 
The two “Wide Eyes” appeared be- 
hind their mother and we learned that 
we had the pleasure of talking with 
Mrs. Lawrence: Mr. Lawrence had 
gone down to Nottawa to get some lum- 
ber. How far was Nottawa? “Oh, 
*bout fifty mile.” 
Can you imagine that? Going to Not- 
tawa, fifty miles down the river, for 
lumber! And the woods so full of it 
just back of the cabin that you could 
hardly get through it, as fine pine as a 
builder could ask. Then she explained 
It will identify you. 
that it was oak, for inside the house; it 
had been shipped from the States. Can 
you imagine that? 
I was getting a bit skeptical of this 
Indian. girl (she couldn’t have been 
over twenty) who spoke broken English 
and was so pretty that I half expected 
her to tell me she was “with the Follies 
for two seasons.” 
A look into the cabin revealed a Vic- 
trola, a piano, pictures, curtains, car- 
pets, an oak dining-table. It might 
easily have been a summer cottage on 
Long Island. 
SHE was the daughter of the chief of 
the Tata Bulls, the largest and 
strongest of the declining tribes of the 
East-Canadian Indians. Mr. Lawrence 
had been one of the Northwest Mounted 
and after marrying this “Juanita of the 
Tata Bulls” had found a small fortune 
in establishing a store at Nottawa buy- 
ing furs from the Indians and trapping 
tributaries of the upper Bell during the 
winter season. 
We had biscuits and coffee, pan after 
pan of hot, fluffy white biscuits and 
butter; the coffee kept pace with the 
biscuits. 
Mr. Lawrence would probably be 
back the next day sometime, he had an 
outboard motor on his canoe and towed 
the lumber bridged across two other 
canoes in the form of a catamaran. It 
meant portaging the lumber and three 
canoes. f 
She talked pleasantly while we ate. 
The cabins about the lake were the fish- 
ing shacks of Indians who had started 
this year in netting pike and masca- 
longe to ship from Nottawa to the mar- 
kets at Montreal! Yes, after leaving 
Lake St. Simeon we would find bad 
rapids all the way to Nottawa. I tried 
to imagine an Indian running a rapid 
with a load of fish. 
Gut, Leaders and Leader 
Tying 
(Continued from page 337) 
visibility of a leader has something to 
do with success in trout fishing. I 
made a red—don’t laugh—leader, that 
is as near to a red sand stone as I can 
obtain, for use on a particular stream 
whose bottom and banks are of that 
rock, and since so doing have had re- 
markably better success. In 1917 I 
built my first camoflauged leader, 
using mist, green and brown, breaking 
the colors into six parts on a 7% ft. 
leader. I used the mist as a standard 
and the green and brown on the theory 
that a piece of green or brown grass 
would draw but little attetnion from 
the trout on account of the general re- 
semblance to grass, living or dead. 
It was this same year that I tied a
