arms as tender. though they might be
awkward, encompassed her now. Awk-
ward, did I say? The Old Man handled
her as if he had been born for it, and
bred to nothing else; he tended upon
her with sort of divine intuition and
knew all her wishes before they were
spoken!
I came up with some unnec essary
noise, thinking to warn them of nv
presence; but she merely turned her
head upon his breast and looked at me,
and the Old Man glanced up and said,
as if he thought the universe might be
indictable for the trouble: ''Her pony

A HUNTING EPISODE.

''Speaking of hunting" said hunter,

four or five years ago
Three of us, more or less sportsmen
and all jolly fellows, were stopping at
small place o the eastern shore of
Lake st. Clair. 1t was in November and
the ducks were pretty thick. We did
some great shooting that season, I can
tell you.
Zone day the landlord announced that
= 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 a wild
duck. much less shot one.
HE was one of your swell hunters,
all logged out in corduroy jacket and
high top boots, with one of those pat

'Would he 60 after ducks with us in
the morning? o, 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 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 II he would 60 over to yonder

and was soon out of sight in the reeds

reach him we heard another double

bashful misery, and had never known
