With the Marten Trapper 
at Timberline 
(Continued from page 137) 
ermine—my favorite marten set was 
next, the trap being set on the limb of 
a large spruce tree, and here I met the 
sight that gladdens the heart and 
brings a smile to the face of the lonely 
trapper—a dark, silky beauty, hang- 
ing by one hind foot. 
Here I rested and ate my lunch, and 
this being the end of my line, I turned 
toward the cabin, traveling at a lower 
altitude and getting one more ermine 
on the return trip. 
N this country we get most of our 
marten on the ridges, and in the 
creek beds and ravines at timber line; 
or in the green timber from four to 
six thousand feet altitude. On this 
“Alpine trap-line” I catch only marten 
and ermine, but occasionally I find the 
tracks of wolves and once during the 
winter of 1922-23, high above timber 
line, I found the fresh track of a fox, 
something very seldom seen in this 
country. 
Marten are the main quest of the 
mountain trapper and let me say, he 
certainly earns all they bring him! 
Ducks and Duck Shooting

Dreaming Back 
(Continued from page 140) 
of bubbling water and sizzling meat, 
and a fragrance sufficiently enticing to 
have drawn the gods from Olympus— 
unless hunger and appetite are un- 
known in that rather indefinitely lo- 
cated country. I verily believe that at 
least two-thirds of the joy of the hunter 
comes from the camp-fires—and not 
only of the hunter, but of every man or 
woman who loves to dwell in God’s 
natural open spaces. It is a harking- 
back to the primitive if you like to call 
it so—but it is the primitive from which 
we gain strength to endure and live 
our intense civilization. 
MIGHT easily be tempted to dwell 
on the reasons for the camp-fire’s 
attractions—apart from the fact that it 
is useful for cooking purposes—but I 
must speak only of matters relevant 
to this simple story. That fire was con- 
sidered a protection against both wild 
beasts and evil spirits, I will mention 
because of what— But I mustn’t get 
ahead of my story. 
Darkness had fallen over the forest 
when Mac and I finished the last, delici- 
ous morsel of friend grouse and swal- 
lowed the last piece of mealy potato. 
We ate slowly, and we talked as we ate. 
The picture comes back to me vividly. 
The gray-bearded man and I—old age 
and youth—sitting side by side before 
that fire, its light playing on our faces, 
and making the surrounding forest look 
the darker for its own brightness. I 
hear the gentle rustle of the aspen pop- 
lars down near the bank, a sort of 
ghostly sound suggestive of ghostly 
garments, and—

A gentle scratching on my room door 
wakes me from my dream. It is the 
way the Scotch fiddler announces him- 
self: he never knocks. 
“Come in,” I call. 
He pokes his lean and kindly-looking 
face into the room. 
“I just wanted to tell ye that I’ve got 
a job,” he says. “I see you’re busy 
writin’ so I won’t disturb the wonderfu’ 
author.” He always makes a mock of 
my writing, in a kindly way, and of 
course I get back at him and his fiddling 
in the same vein. 
H® lays a small package on the bu- 
reau near the door. 
“It’s a little tobacco I brought over 
with me frae’ Scotland on my last trip. 
It’s strong. Good night.” 
Before I am fully awake again he 
has closed the door and gone. A fine 
chap is the Scotch fiddler. I will try 
his tobacco to-morrow evening. I’m 
glad he’s found a job. He reminds me 
a little of Tom McGregor. 
Alligators and Crocodiles 
(Continued from page 147) 
owing to the conditions prevailing in 
their normal environment, to their en- 
tire freedom, to regularity of feeding 
habits, and so on. 
UNDREDS of alligators in the 
South have been shot and killed 
from decks of river craft; a heavy ball 
from any modern arm is all that is re- 
quired to slay one of them, should the 
ball enter a vital spot. There is no 
truth in the statement that their hides 
protect them when thus hit, as any 
’gator himself will tell you. Many 
young are taken and sold to the bird- 
stores for curios, which further makes 
for the extermination of the species. 
Alligators hold their enemy, man, in 
great fear, although the old ones will 
put up a big fight when cornered. Both 
jaws and tail are used with marked
