In a recent book a hunter tells how
he spent many weary months in the
attempt to shoot an eagle. and at last
ambushcd so successfully that he ac-
tually touched the bird with his fn-
gers. Having go; 80 far he was con-
tent. and let the eagle go free. II may
be a hunters tale. but there are at
present a very considerable number o;
sportsmen who are a great deal keener
TO see their game at close quarters
than to kill IL. instead of the old
phrase. Let us go and kill some
thing the hunter now says. Let us
go and focus something" The camera
has supplan,ed the gun. There are
now made all manner OF devices. more
ingenious and intricate even than the
older trappers devised. for getting the
camera to bear on unsuspecting ami
mails. A boat. resembling a little the
shooting boats used on the irish
coast. has been devised. which is pro-
PEELED without oars or sails, and has
beautiful Photographic apparatus
risssd up in the bows. There are other
not less clever means for approaching
and photoEraphins deer in their native
haunts, and they have been used with
altogether remarkable success. HUI
manitarians are already pointing that

all the excitement of the chase without
any of the cruelty. and at least this

The game was drawing near its
close.
With each struggle that iron will of
the marquis. which had been the mar
vel and admiration OF his friends. came
out much weaker.
Perhaps the thing that had the most
decided influence upon him was the
startling conviction that there had
been awakened within his heart glow
OF love for the little miniature painter.
With the flower OF love biossoming
again In his heart he could hardly have
continued In his former policy.
Should he be magnanImous and free

bright vision that tempted him, shut
himself up In a narrow compass and
carry out the miserable plan OF the
