shooting n Decoy.

I am reminded of 8 rather good yarn I have beean romising for some time to spin, says writer in Forest and Stream. The joke is on frst-class all around sporthman, and jolly good fellow he is, too, ready for anything from an early morning start and frosty wait on the bay for chance at the ducks to an all day tramp in the backwoods for the willy fox. He is @ practical joker as we'll ., a sportsman, and ia always ready to work of "rig" on the boys, 60 we were all unusually hilarious when at le 1t he had to succumb and own himself outwitted. He had gotten the best of me on several occasions, and many minute had given to conooct- ing plans for getting even.
 At lat chance came, and in this way: Out on a cunning trip had the good fortune to shoot a superb fresh water shell drake, and when went home said nothing to Luoisn, but began to perfect 8 scheme that took | shape in my mlnd almost e1 soon e5 the bird dropped. Lucien lived on the banks of . pond in which ducks would now and then light, and he always had his gun ready. l carefully skinned my bird, stretched the skin over wooden decoy in es lifelike 8 | manner cs possible and then began to think how best to make it seem alive. My device was merely to fasten one end of 6 line to the | decoy under the breest and lead 1t through 8 ring in a stone sunk to the bottom of the l pond, and from there to some bushes upon a high bank.
 All being arranged, took my position, and one of the men went to the shop, just
 below the dam, and told Lu to hurry up and
 get his gun to shoot the queer looking bird
 that had just lit there. Lu was at first sus-
 picious, but finally went up to take look.
 The bird was moving around, ducking, etc. ,
 in such evident life and spirits that Lucien
 was for once, at lee,t, completely taken in.
 He dodged down behind the dam, crept care.
 bscI Reaching the rahs hsa spot uu he
 came, looked over to reconnoiter, and, being
 entirely convinced. banged away. How the
 feathers did hyl And how we all shouted,
 and how disgusted Lu looked, will leave to
 your imagination.

 There was not much comfort to be derived from the bank statement, and yet is was sufficient to turn the tide of the market, which closed up strong at about the highest figures of the short day, the advance being fashionably fractional. for the same reason.
