Speaking of hunting" said hunter,
reminds me of little fun had some
four or five years ago
Three of us, more or less sportsmen
and all jolly fellows, were stopping at
a small place on the eastern shore of
Lake St Clair 1t was in November and
the ducks We're pretty thick. We did
some great shooting that season, can
tell you.
"One day the landlord announced that
a nephew of his, young man just over
from England, was coming up for few
weeks sport, and he guessed we'd find
him pretty near dandy on the shot
well, pretty soon the young fellow
arrived, and our first glimpse of him de-
cided everything. The boys said they
didn't believe he had ever seen wild
duck, much less shot one.
He was one of your swell hunters.

high top boots, with one of those pat
ent-reversible fore-and-aft caps and
pair of eyeglasses astride his nose. He
showed us his gun, double barreled
pistol grip thing, and bowed pile on
its fine qualities and of the wonderful
execution he could do with it. 1T came
from England, We know
Would he go after ducks with us in
the morning? %, yaas, he fahncied' he
would, though it wouldn't be much
sport; he was accustomed to shooting
woodcock and ducks flew so beastly
slow
"Well, we fixed up things among our
selves that night We picked out some
of our oldest decoys and anchored them
out in a bayou short distance from
shore, then turned in for the night
Our friend was up bright and early
next morning and was anxious to show
his skill We made some excuse about
not being quite ready, but told him
that if he would go over to yonder
bayou he might get shot before break
fast He put off with much splashing
of paddles and great show of caution
and was soon out of sight in the reeds.
Allowing him time to reach our decoys,
we followed and soon heard the sharp
bang! bang, of his gun. Before we could
reach him we heard another double
report. Exploding with laughter at the
success of our scheme we fastened to
the spot
Did he fill the decoys with lead?"
