UIl0 SnCSC, OUT nOG unUll COl. Gone
had given up all of his vest, and a
yard or so of cloth out of his
pants and other garments about
i'll different places.
when the other boys came up
the Colonel vas standing there
like a conquered hero. He looked
mighty delapidated, but he had
his foot on the neck of the dead
deer, and was exclaiming-''sick
Semper and Tiranibus"-speak-
ing to two of Bennet's dogs.
after they had arranged to
send the deer to town the hunt
ers all concluded they would hunt
along towards home. Arnold said
he would go down along the edge
of the sound and kill a few ducks
Major Ed. and Major Walter
Holt concluded that they were
mighty tired and would Jog along
home, but Col. Jim and Col. Cone
thought they would scout along
through the old field and might
run up with another deer. 1t was
getting along towards dusk and
Col. Jim and Col. Cone were
about to give up the idea of any
more game that day. They were
almost in sight of Morehead
when Col. Cone startled Col. Jim
by saying There goes one, shoot
him Col. Jim looked and there
went a deer sure enough, gallop-
ing along in front of them. He
banged away and down came
deer number 2. "Oh, yes said
the chief marshal, I guess | am
up with you now. we've got a
deer apiece. They went up and
sure enough there he was stone
dead. Why that deer's got no
horns, remarked Col. Cone.
"Oh no, that's a doe, they
don't have horns," replied Col.
Jim.
This satisfied the dealer in
Everyday dress goods, so they
concluded to go or to town and
send the colored boys back for
the deer. Deer number one was
already there, and a great crowd

soon the negro boys brought in
deer number two and layed him
down by the side of the other
lone. When old aunt Rose Mann,
an old colored woman who knows
Everything and everybody, ex-
claimed: .'LOrd-a-maSsy, if you
folks haint killed Mars Will
Arendell's Jersey calf. Why,
Mars Will wouldn't er took fifty
dollars fur that calf"
You ought to have seen Col.
Jim Holt and Col. Moses Cone
when that old woman made that
remark. About this time Will
Arendell came marching up from
lone of his fish boats and both
these hunters would have given
ALMOST anything if they had never
seea a deer or anything that
Hooked like one.
:, Will, though, is a mighty easy
| sort of fellow. He didn't say
much but he had a powerful ser
t ious look. They told him that
they would give him S25 apiece
and he might have the calf be
Isides. Wills a trading sort OF
a fellow, you know and SO he eX-
l cused the boys and fixed matters
up all right, purity soon Col. Bill
5 Porter come along and seeing the
isure enough deer, began to fee
l about to see how fat he was. He
happened to look at the deer's
ears and said; Why, this is ole
t |'Liie Lewis tame deer, the one he
| tanned before he died"
What? exclaimed both the
sportsmen. in one breath.
, Yes, SIR" said the Porter

but to settle for the deer. SO the,
e settled and they do say that tina
deer cost the boys about IS cent
e a pound.
