Entertains a War Party at Camp

YOUR ORATOR got
wind of the sport early
Friday morning. He
had heard tell of a new
playground and setting
for the day's sport on
the brimming river, and
that a flotilla from
Pinehurst waa to put
their canoes into the Lumbee at
the big bend just below the Markhams
landing, and shoot for the rejuvenated
camp by Sherman's old historic crossing
at Blue's Bridge in time to accommodate
the coffee pots and the braziers at High
Noon. So he chartered a cross country
jitney and a mahogany pilot and sped
down into the poplar country beyond
Pine Bluff.
I what I saw should become common
knowledge the rickety bridge would
break down with the assembling con.
course. In an opening in a pine thicket
beside a big bend, where the river ed
dies in a torrent around an island and
straightens out into the stretch at a
gallop, stood a rustic camp a snug re.
treat fashioned of whole cypress logs,
pine slabs, hewn shingles assembled
around a great chimney, and flanked
with generous piazzas, calling for turkey
dinners and tales from the hunting
field within, and firelight dances without.
And curling up lazily to the tree tops
was the filmy signal so dear to the heart
of the woodsman the hardwood smoke
from the outdoor bed of coals, suggestive
of dinner.
THE PATHFINDER
Beside it stood a man. I venture that
his exact prototype has not been seen in
these old Pines since the Hurons from
the Northern Woods made a raid on the
Seminoles of the Carolinas before the
days of Pocahontas. He wasn't a Hu
ron. But he had a look and a lilt that
spelled Moose, and the kind of pussy
footing tread reminiscent of the path
finder. He beat me to it .
"Who are you?" says he.
"Bill," I said.
"Well, Bill, look out of the way.
There's a gang of sports coming through
here upside down in a minute expecting
first aid for sixteen."
"Where from?" said T.
"Where from I They got an asylum
of 'em over yonder called Pinehurst.
They come to see the bears. The bears
have got nothing on them."
"How's that?"
THE LUCIONS LABELLA GOT
' ' They is wilder than any bears . Look
at this outfit. Isn't it a daisy? All
outdoors. Framed up Aroostook fash
ion. Rough and ready. I could feed
an army. But wild? It ain't wild
enough for them. See them tables.
That's to make 'em happy. Know
what they'll say? They'll kick to hell
the tables upside down. Say they want
it sure nuff rough, and squat down on
the needles Injun style. But I got 'em
something to eat. Something they ain't
never et before. Eye-talian fritters.
They calls 'em Labella Got. That
means pretty girl."
"Me? My name is Reddy, the Irish
fireplace builder. That's the way they
say it. But if there's a' game in the
woods or on the river I can't play .
I built that camp, furniture and trim
mings, out of what you see in sight.
And you just stay by 'til I feed this
bunch Where from? I came off'n
Belgrade Lake. Maybe you've heard of
that. It's in the hoot owl country.
Was wild as snakes, and full of silence
and loon calls. But now The hotel
there the Carolina up yonder would
make a kitchen for it. Hey! John;
fetch them toasters . ' '
THE TURKEY'S RENDEZVOUS
"Hear that shootin'? They ain't
hurtin' nothin'. How they help it I
dunno. If they ain't careful the. game
will run over them right out there.
There were three gobblers in this yard
this morning. I loves to see 'em.
That's why I have that dam dog stored
up in the loft. The deer knows they are
safe here. They drink right down at
the run across the creek."
Great Morning there they cornel It's
no scandal they don't see no bears.
Sounds like a war party"
It did. Reverberating down the cor
ridors we could hear the full throated
chorus, and directly here they came
swinging around the bend on the old
trail that is always new girls and boys,
soldiers from overseas and their last re
serves. And the goulash cannon went
into immediate action. Maple syrup
from the Maine mountains ran in floods
ver the Eye-talian fritters. Eggs and
bacon and barbecue; yellow yams from
the nearby plantation and the famous
flapjacks flew from fire to their destiny
flew is right. And meantime the pine lad
en sunshine threw a genial glow over the
whole and called forth troubadors to !
recount in song and jingle the story of
the expedition, and the casualties as they
occurred .
NOT FORGETTING THE MISTLETOE
And then to play baseball with the
legs of a chair to learn a step for the
evening 's cotillion, and to sing truly
rural and away ten thousand dollar
alto in the van, and a bottomless Bass in
the rear. So away for the bluffs two
hours beloAV, where the amiable Mr.
Suggs was sitting in fond hopes of find
ing them all half' drowned upon arrival,
and so to tell a tale for the ultimate de
light of the hamlet of Southern Pines.
And so down the brimming river, catch
ing glimpses of red birds and herons and
the pathless jungles and not forgetting
the hollberry and mistletoe.

the story and saves letter writing!
