Speed snd M.9. H-A,y. AZ the parry
WAS riding along a canon Miss Kellum
caught sight Of d couple of deer on the
side st the mountain and came neal start
ing them over into Arizona the first thing.
Luckily the deer were tar enough away so
they did not hear the exclamation. but
continued quietly feeding. There was no
gun in the party so it vas decided that the
ladies shonld watch the deer while Mr..
Speed went to the ranch-abont two mlles
away-after his Winchester. While he
was gone the deer continued feeding quiet
ay and only once did they raiss their heads
as though they were going to start off.
"Please, pretty deer, won't you wait till
Mr.. Speed gets back, so he can shoot
you?' Whether the deer heard this pitt

waited, or whether they failed to hear 1t
and staid because the feeding was coed
has never been ascertained. When Mr..
Speed returned the deer were still quietly
feeding. Miss Kelium took the CUR to
shoot one of the deer hut complained that
as soon as she would draw a bead on one
deer the other would walk in front of the
gun and she could not shoot without hurt
ing the wrong deer. Mrs. Henry took the
gun but complained that both the deer
and the gun would "wobble." Speed
muttered something about an epidemic OF
buck fever, took the CUR and shot one OF
the deer. The ladies we're greatly elated
at the result Of tho shot and helped drag
the deer to a tree, where d rope was
.. thrown over a limb and the combined ef-
forts Of the three we're sufficient to pull it
up where 1t could be dressed. While
Speed was dressing the deer the ladies
went TO the ranch after a team. There
was no man at the ranch to bitch up a
team, but the ladies were too much excit-
ed to mind that and so hitched up the
team themselves and drove back after the
venisOn. Speed said that when he came
In look the harness over 1t WAS fastened in
three different places With pins aud one
tug was fastened to the single tree With a
twisted hairpin. Ho@ this was done is a
mystery which will haunt Speed from now
TO the day he is married. The next day
the ladies were heard telling Mrs. Kellum
that ''tbe deer WE killed was the finest
tasting venisou you ever saw"
