and contains so much that can be made
valuable TO all readers, that venture to

The day was q most Indictment ono and
tho snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were
plentiful, but they principally led In tho
direction OF large swamp, In which tho
rabbits could run without difficulty, but
where the hunter constantly broke through
tho thin Eco, sinking into tho balf.frozcn
miro To his knees. Sotwiths' anding these
difficulties, the writer had perscvercl, al'
though very small lag OF game was the
result. While tramping about through q
particularly malarial portion oftho swamp,
n middle aged man suddenly came in,o
view carrying muzzle loading shotgun
and completely loaded down with game of
the finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that Ia.
stinctively arose, prompted the writer TO
enter into conversation with the man, with
the following result;

get all that gnmeT
