the hillside where he said there were
plenty Of deer. Our indomitable
hunters went there at once, and the
smartest and best shot In the company,
spying what he thought to be q fine
doe in the edge of the brush, succeed

shot at her. He Vas successful in
bringing down his game. but much
mortified at discovering that 1t was n
calf two or three months old. He was
still more mortified when the old
rancher got after him and demanded
that he pay for his mischief. He de-
manded SIS, and Nimrod tried to get
oil BY paying $40. They finally COM
promised on So so, which lie paid.
After that quite n number OF deer
came \ running over him several
times, but he wasn't to be fooled q Sec
ond time with them, so he stuck to
cotton tail rabbits, c%hipmonks and SIM
liar light game, considering venlson
too deer" shooting altogether.
