Young as I was, I had no keener relish for a holiday than he. Atrioon we halted beside a brook and unhitched our horses. Then we caught some fish, built a fire and cooked them and brewed our tea. At sunset we halted at Tuley pond, looking along its reedy margin, under purple, tamaracks, for deer. There was a gteat silence here in the deep of the woods, and Tip Taylor's ex, while he peeled the bark for our camp, seemed to fill the wilder. nes with echoes. It was after dark when the shanty was coveted and we lay on its fragrant mow of balsam and hemlock. •The great logs that we had roiled in front of our shanty were set afire and shortly supper was cooking.
