jacks retriever, who had been
sneaking after US, now came up aud
that settled it; we decided to leave
the horses, take Brag, the retriever,
and go after the rest on foot. This
was novel work to both Of US; turkeys
are not shot that way, as every one
knows who has hunted turkeys. but
this morning proved TO be record
breaker all around.
Both Of US shot repeating shotguna
and We agreed to shoot as We shot
partridges, turn about, each. man TO
look after the birds on his side. We
kept Brag close in and after We had
paused the place where Jack aaid he
saw them go down and had about ek-
hsueted our patience, Brag spun
around aud came to point; he had
hardly stiffened himself when tur.
key rose, quarteling away from Jack
and wae tumbled over. just then one

We searched those rushes for nearly 8
half hour before finding another ard

from where he rose. Jack. cut him
down before he straightened--a fine
young gobbler. AT the crack Of the
gun two hens rose and we grassed
both, but one was winged and the re-
triever had to run her down. Just
before reaching the horses another
hen got up and che fell to me-seven
turkeys and all shot like partridges,
as tame q mornings work as either
had ever indnlgad. Barring the gio-
riens beg, twas nothing.
After We had tied them to the sad
dies, giving the horses all The load
.ney wanted and more. Ne stopped o
while TO smoke and talk. By and by
the dogs came back and Jack suggest
ed driving asmall island in the reserve
near the woods. He carried the dogs
aronnd and put them in; I waited be-
low. They struck scent at once aud
came on, making epiendid music; just
as they reached the middle of the Ia
land peg-horn buck broke cover in
twenty yards or me and atretched
him; I saw nothing else. Bns Jack
came around tho leland swearing like
