the back steps a small brown animal, OF
kind she had never seen before and with
tell nearly as large as its body. Ii did
not seem to be afraid OF her but coolly
walked over to another fight Of steps and
went under the piazza and out again.
Puzzled by its strange appearance, Mrs.
| Dyer went to the livery stable to call some
| OF the men to look at il bat when they
came out with gun, the animal thought
best to give them a sort Of dissolving view
of a mink making tracks for the river.

son, had rather an aggravating experience
I IN trying 10 secure pair OF antlers Deer
/ were plenty in that vicinity but they had
charmed lives. They came down the
mountain and walked all around the camp
without disturbing the hunters in the
least ate an the tidbits thrown out to lure
them within gunshot and even dug pile
OF apples from under a light fall OF snow
and devoured the same without giving the
/ party m concealment any opportunity to
Interfere with the repast. As feeding the
deer with apples seemed as much like
hunting a. feeding the circus elephant
with peanuts, Mr.. ketchum unloaded his
gun IN the slaughter Of a few hedgehops
and came home.
