While no one can regret more kcenly
than tho local management of the skat-

who came here from Lynchburg. as
substitute for Carl Young, whose illness
prevented his coming. at the Same time
there has been heard some few who
seemed to think the fault lay with the
management.

The Aasco he put up was much more
OF surprise to those who had TO pay
the expenses OF his trip with manager
from Lynchburg here and return, With
n hotel account and his guarantee. than
to any one else. The race between local
boys was far above that usually seen
among local skaters. and In itself was
: worth double the admission fee charged.

AT tho same time the management OF

with cartridges. He had dtlated copious-
ly on the merits Of the new gun.
AT Fiheld 1t is the custom OF the
crowd to lay aside most of their civillzed
ralment, don hunting toys and plunge
forty miles into the woods for lori
night OF sport. Johnsons new cartridge
vest, filled with shells, hung temptinsly
In the hallway. John Agnew was seized
with an idea. While Johnson filed him
self with broiled partridge in the dining
room, Agnew, capably assisted by George
Thompson, filled that vest with blank
cartridges.
There was the usual argument as to
who should ride in the first wagon and
do the shooting OF partridges along the
road-and Johnson was accorded the hon
or with suspicious alacrity. The boom
ing of his new gun echoed all along the
road to the Fourteen-mile house. He
burned powder swore, burned more pow
der-and nary feather did ne muss on
any partridge. He was puzzled and an
moved. He could not we'll blame the
g,ln-and he was sure he could shoot bet
ter than that.
During the last half OF the ride into
the woods Johnson rode in one OF the
rear wagons, while the men ahead slew
the birds. Johnson examined the gun.
/ calculated on its possible errors, and
again became satisfied that 1t was all
right.
! The next morning. soon after break
fast, he was out in the slashins. burn
ing more powder-and never ripping a
feather. Henry was with him, and Hen
ry is too good guide to show an emo
ton except sympathy. Also he can assis
/ any one in making excuses for missln:
| deer or losing muskle.
Johnson returned to camp and said lit
tie CONCERNING his luck although Lotus
and Agnew questioned him closely. II
did not commit himself. That Afternoon
he deserted the beloved gun and cart
ridge vest and went fishing, but afte
oling up the gun, examining 1t agai
that night, he decided to try again. Hen
ry went with him.
It was cold. and before he had gon
far from camp a partridge flew up an
roasted on the limb of a tree about fort
feet ahead. Bang" went the gun, John
son peeked-and saw the bird dying
and boom went the other barrel. Th
bird kept on going.
