Cook Klmman knows how to pre-
pare salads "yust like in old country
where they call 1t ''slum-gullion" but
II he had left out q few of those moe

would have eaten it with u keener

Ned Cavileer says, IF you want to
stop running deer. just bleat at
him." but he didn't put us up to the
charm until too late. He assured us
however that it. worked perfectly
every time he tried 1t.
Hart improvised a very likely look
ing deer-call out Of joint of stove
pipe, but gas required to be kept
in camp to kuide cook Kimman back
when he went after water, because his
eyes didn't seem to track and we had
no string long enough to reach from
the tent to the water hole in the
river.
The boys convinced Alb GARRETT
that his pink "nightie" was a hoo
doc and that he would kill no deer
while he slept IN it., SO it was discard

ed it and thereto hangs a tail. He
dropped his luck.
Culinary Kimman's Preside stories
were always good, but after his cigars
ran out they were bowling success.
Out on the prairie about two miles
were five bronchos quietly grazing.
Frank Hart discovered them and pro-
ceeded to make This ''injun' sneak.
They flushed wild at his muskrat cap,
then Jud chuckled. He was watch
ing the whole proceeding from a con-
venient clump of bushes.
Jud had cold feet and 'srhumatiz"
to contend with so couldn't take very
long journeys, but somehow he
managed to flush a deer or two almost
every evening, just around camp.
Short ate too freely of Kimman's
slum-gullion and has, ever since, been
suffering from an attack of rubber on
the liver.
Thompson heard shot, then soon
another shot and u distressed human
vail, then stillaDothcr shot and many
walls. He ran for half mile In that
direction, thinking someone had brok-
en- through the Ice in the river, only
to find Garnett bending over the life

he had killed 1t alive. Alb said that
act let him tout of the woods and
he had a right to ''holler."
