THE PRIMARIES.
For DAYS and weeks, the woods and
hollows had been secured for game by
the aspiring hunters, III advance OF
Saturday, the market day, when he who
brought the most birds received the
golden coins. Thickets had been explored,
bushes bushwacked, and trees climbed.
The hunters in their mad aud untIring
quest went everywhere, spoke to every
one, OF whom they asked where game
could be found. II the farmer had game
they tarried awhile with the farmer, II
the townsman had game anywhere, they
tarried awhile with the townsman. They
tarried wherever tarrying was for game.
Tney had ample time aud ammunition
and which they fired at one bird spar
ingly and at another plentiiully.
When the morning OF the market day
dawned, the hunters knew not which of
their number had the most birds slam.
All thought alike, that my number is
sufficient the golden coins = secure.
While they were careful to secure and
tie the birds that none might he lost,
they paid hut little heed to the appear
ance of the birds, SO that when they
were taken into the market place and
exposed, those around took note unto
the fact that the birds were OF all kinds.
Some, and very lew, were well To look
upon. while the greater number appeared
wrong" and likened unto a man under
the influence of strUng drink, 50 that
they lay i'll a heap, as though before
being slam, they had been chased almost
to death by the hunters.
Bye and bye, as the day passed and the
evening came, the last bird was disposed
of, and iG accordingly was that one OF the
number, because of his hunting qualitles
and the ineffective shots OF the others
the many birds bartered and the golden
coins secured. That hunter a name bore,
the first initial OF which was likened
unto the second, and that unto the third.
