In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
HERE is a something in the woods 
in winter that nothing can repro- 
duce: the cold, the stillness, the loneli- 
ness, like a perfect line of poetry, burn 
their way into the imagination in a way 
that almost hurts. They weave a spell 
that cannot be erased. Many a time I 
have gone out at night after moon- 
rise without a gun and let the dog run 
a rabbit just to be alone and hear the 
notes come stealing over the snow with 
that distant silvery tinkle. It is in- 
describable. For a time the dog’s voice 
seems to crawl close to the ground, but, 
after a certain limit has been passed, 
it ascends to the moon like the flight of 
a gothic spire. It haunts whoever has 
heard it; he cannot escape it. 
After the close of the season in the 
spring, I wandered about the woods 
without a gun, letting the dog do as he 
pleased; at intervals calling him back 
and keeping him in discipline. But 
one day he started on a track back in 
a balsam swamp that led him out of 
hearing among the hills. His bell did 
not sound as if he were running a rab- 
bit. It advanced slowly, with deep 
steady notes, as it turned away. I felt 
that something was up and crossed to 
the next ridge and waited. As I sat 
there and smoked, I heard the dog head 
into the gully about a mile up; and 
about two minutes later a big red fox 
ran by within twenty feet of me. 
T startled me more than it did him, 
but he scoured away and crossed the 
river a little below me. Presently Di 
came along, with the measured, rocking 
gait of an old-timer, following the 
scent with deep whoofs. He had found 
new game to hunt, and he was show- 
ing me how to do it in the proper mode. 
Having no gun was a bitter pill, for 
that day marked the end of my vaca- 
tion, but there will come such another 
winter, perhaps, who can tell? And I 
know at least that Diogenes will be 
ready as he always has been, the little 
blighter! People laugh at me for be- 
ing a sentimentalist about dogs, but 
they do not know whereof they speak. 
Usually they are the proud possessors 
of some toy Pekinese or some such ani- 
mal, who looks as if he belonged to the 
Ming dynasty, and whose actions seem 
to prove it. 
Two Salmon 
(Continued from page 165) 
sang out, and I was once more experi- 
encing the thrills of a coming battle. 
‘ORTUNATELY I was about oppo- 
site him and kept that position, so 
that he started up stream in spite of 
the strong current of the rapids, but 
did not go very far, and after remain- 
ing tranquile for a quarter of an hour 
he started to work his way down the 
river by short rushes, frequently leap- 
ing out of the water, when the top of 
my rod went down automatically, as I 
am sure I did not control it voluntarily. 
The water beginning to get too deep 
for wading, I got into the canoe, and 
then the battle in the deep pool below 
the rapids continued with alternating 
phases of hope that he was getting 
tired, as I gradually worked him in 
towards the canoe, and despair when 
he rushed across towards the over- 
hanging trees and racines on the far 
bank. However, by keeping opposite 
him and exercising all the strain which 
the nine foot leader and the split bam- 
boo rod would stand, he was worked 
away from these dangerous points, and 
his black, square tail began to show 
above the surface of the water, a sure 
sign that he was tired. At last he was 
within a few feet of the canoe, and the 
guide made a dash at him with the gaff 
but missed him. He went across like a 
streak of lightning as if he had just 
been freshly caught, but his leap up 
on the far side was the last, although — 
he stubbornly struggled and kept away 
for another quarter of an hour. 
EANWHILE one of our party and 
his guides had come down and 
were watching the battle. I asked them 
to take their canoe across on the far 
side of the river and hold it against an — 
overhanging tree under which I feared 
the fish would run. 
The hour was get- 
ting late, and the guides anxious to — 
negotiate the rapids on our way home 
before daylight failed, and they took it 
into their heads to try to gaff the fish 
on the far side of the river. -The bow 
man missed the fish, found his gaff 
around the line and let go, and here 
was my beautiful salmon with the gaff 
on the line bobbing up and down like 
a branch in a rapid liable at any mo- 
ment to cut the leader, and loose its 
precious burden. I made a few re- 
marks which, although not in French, 
were easily understood by the guides 
in the other canoe, and they warily ap- 
proached the fish until one of them was 
able to tap the end of the gaff with 
his pike pole which released the gaff 
from the line and it went sailing down 
the river, and once more there was a 
chance of landing the fish. I lost no 
time reeling him in until at last he was 
within striking distance and the guide 
gaffed him neatly below the back fin 
and landed him in the canoe—a silver 
beauty, thirty-one pounds in weight. 
spats is the story of only two salmon, 
but altogether I had the good for- 
tune to kill thirteen fish, and our party 
of four, two of whom left before the 
good fishing began, got twenty-six, the 
average weight being twenty-three 
pounds. 
It will identify you.
