Der evening after throwing our lines for

said the Gotham sportsman, I'VE found
that visitor had been there during our
absence. We had taken up our quarters
in a deserted single camp, low log
structure with At splint roof. A deacon $
seat stood before the open fireplace Of
stone. and behind laid thatchw!se on the
ground, were the pine boughs upon which
we were TO sleep. We had left our dun
mage there earlier in the day. and had
hung up upon a peg In the wall two par
tridges that we had shot. After we had
lighted up the place with d glowing fire
we saw that the partrldges were gone
from the wooden peg on which they had
hung, and were nowhere 10 he seen. y
long search about the camp revealed them
at last. on the opposite side. crowded
half under the bottom log of the wall as
II an attempt had been made TO get them
out of the camp that way.
I'VE hung them up again upon the peg
and in few minutes discovered a weasel
running about them trying TO get them
down again. He appeared 10 be regard
less of our presence. He would run out
10 the end of the peg and work away
awhile to try TO push the string that held
them over the end, and then would dart
10 the ground below and si. upright
looking at them, his eyes all the while
glowing like emeralds. AT last l picked
my gun up. loaded with heavy charges of
bird shot
Its no use trying TO hit him. said Far
ris. my companion, an old woodsman.
He'll dodge the fash of your gun. The
most you can do is to scare him away
"As the weasel sat upright and mo-
tionless on one OF the bottom logs of the
camp | took a careful sight and fired
with my right barrel at him. The smoke
cleared away but no weasel was TO be
seen. although the place where he had
sat was peppered with fine holes where
the shot had all struck within a space as
large as the palm of my hand. II the
weasel had been hit he would have been
found. and he had evidently dodg ID at the
fash OF the explosion, or perhaps the fall
OF the hammer But the shot had the
effect of frightening him away. for we
had no more visits form him during our
stay"
