December II Smith was given a di-

an end. A short time ago the parrot dis
appeared. Smith says he traced il to his
wife, who was living on the West side.
He was unable to find the bird at the
house and in the afternoon, after he had
given up the quest in despair, he saw his
former wife, bird cage IN hand, leaving
the Union station wi a man, who,
Smith says, was the ie 10 whom the

Smith seized the parrot and ran down

woman ran also, but in the opposite di-
rection. Mrs. Smith ran after her for
mer husband, shouting that he had
stolen her parrot.
Smith, his divorced wife and the par

sent to accompany him on n deer-shoot-
ins trip to MoAtmorency county, Mich
igan.
Then was born in her the ambition to
shoot deer alone, and with no one TO
aid or advise her in the adventure ex-
cept the old guide at the camp. who
showed her a place on the edge of the
lake, from which, if she came to it
early each evening, she stood a good
chance of getting a shot
For three evenings she visited the
place, and the third night she saw a
magnificent stag walk down to the wa
ter's edge on the opposite side of tn,
lake and drink. The shot was not a
long one, and. taking as careful aim as
she could in her excitement. the Girl
fired, but missed.
The next evening Miss Jarvis left the
club earlier than usual and took her old
position, from which she got a good
view of the whole lake. Just before
dusk Richard ElwoCd who did not know
that Mr.. Jarvis and his daughter were
in that region, also hoping to get shot
at deer, skulked down to the edge of
the thick forest on the other side.
In the gathering gloom Miss Jarvis
made out dark object slowly moving
on the white snow on the shore. and
taking steadier aim than the previous
day, she fired a second time.
A second later a bullet whistled in
proximity to Elwood's ears, and with a
cry of alarm he sprang back toward the
woods. but not before another bali sang
over his head.
The sharp eyes Of the girl once more
caught the shadowy and indistinct
blotch against the white on the Other
side. and for a fourth time she fired
This time the object seemed to fall in a
heap, and with a cry of delight at her
success, she hurried around the edge of
the lake and almost stumbled across
Richard Elwood, as he lay. half in a
sitting posture in an open space on the
beach
With a cry of horror the cir! fell
upon her knees, and in voice Of agony
asked if he was dead.
In that moment, half lying there, with
Two fingers shot off and a wound in his
side, Richard Elw God recognized The
girl he loved.
You had better go back after help"
he advised. weakly. But tell me first,
did you fire those shots?"
GOD help me; | did" sobbed the
girl.
Half dead with fright, and her race
through the woods, and with her face
and hands bleeding from the scratches
inflicted by brush and limbs, Miss Jar
Wis staggered through one Of the club
doors few minutes later.
I've shot mani" she painted. He's
lying on the beach just across the lake
from where Joe put me-"
! Then, sobbing Historically. she faint
ed into the arms of the guides wife.
while the guide himself hurriedly set
out with a couple Of blankets and ac-
comranied by Mir. Jarvis and several
others of the men Of the club.
BY the time they returned. bearing
the wounded man in the blankets be-
tween them, Hester Jarvis had regained
her old self-possession, and almost as
white as the bandages she had been
preparing, she greeted them at the
door.
An hour later doctor arrived, ampu-
tated two of Richard Elwood's fingers
and dressed his Wounded side. whicl
