or the wild hunting grounds of Mexican,
Bradford and other counties of the northern
tier.
The Southern cities, Savannah, Charleston,
Atlanta, Washington, and so on, are espe-
cially favored. The Blue Ridge Mountains
are capital hunting grounds, and one OF the
best shooting territories in this country east
of the Rocky Mountains is found in and near
the Okefnokee Swamp, which covers a large
area in Charlton, Ware and Clineh counties,
in Georgia, and Baker county, Florida II

fowl, and forests of timber, the abode Oh

ing ground. The Everglades, covering near.
ly one-fourth of the State, are the abode OF
deer as well as the savage wildcat. Water.
fowl swarm on every lake and inlet, and if
the sportsman wishes something unique. 1t Is
not much trouble to find an alligator.
All the Gulf States abound in game large
and small, and Arkansas and Missouri are
particularly favored the only drawback being
the difficulty in getting to the hunting
grounds. This, however, would be considered
a point in their favor by most hunters. Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois are now pretty well
cleared Of game except prairie chickens
quail and waterfowl, but Wisconsin and Michi-
gan lie directly north, and there the sports
man may hunt for months without crossing
his trail.
With the extinction of the buffalo, Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska have lost their reputa-
ton as hunting grounds, although there is
plenty of bird shooting left, and for true
sport there is nothing much superior to duck
and geese shooting.
There is not so much game in Dakota as
one might imagine, which is doubtless due
to the fact of the scarcity of timber. There
is still some fine shooting in the Black Hills,
but the rush of civilization is rapidly thinning
out the game.
Then we come to the great Rockies, and

there is the hunting ground par excellence
The big and little game has been driven
from the East and West by the iron morse
and the settlers plow,, but it will be many a
year before they will drive the, bear, the
mountain lion, the grizzly, the wolf and lynx
from their stronghold.
Protected by the innumerable caves, tne
deep canyons and lofty peaks, they nave "a
fighting chance for their lives, and the hunter
must hunt indeed for his prey.
And what grand hunting The spurs OF
the Rockies are very few on the east, but on
the west they extend over all the States to
the Pacific Coast. You cannot get nun
drew miles away from mountain In ldaho,
Utah, Nevada, Oregon or California, and Arl-
zona and New Mexico are "spurred over a
great portion of their area Western Coioraoo
is full of mountains, Eastern Colorado has not

May.
This is the centre of what is claimed to
be the greatest game country In the world. w1.c
The surrounding country is not only prolific
in game, but it is a place from. which the
game country of British Columbia to the
north, northeast and northwest is easily
reached.
The Spokane game district extends from
the Bitter Root Mountains on the east to the
Cascade range on the west and within these
boundaries can be found antelope, deer, black
and cinnamon bears, elk, grizzlies and panth-
ers; while the streams abound in trout
salmon, perch and fifty other varieties, and
wild fowl are also plentiful.
Reliable Indian guides are easily had in
this region for S1.25 day.
From this starting point you may follow
the main range of the Rockies clear down to
Old Mexico, but it is not likely you will try.

Fred Deap's BoDDy Belle

Returning to the roaring campfire the fiee-
ing desperadoes had made, Bill Baker said:
Lets see the stuff the thieves driv You
away for"
Ted showed them the wheelbarrow full Of
gravel and stones. The men carried hand
-fuls of it to the fire and examined it care
fully
Suddenly Bill Bakers hands came down
on Ied's shoulders in painfully cordial way,
and the excited miner roared QUIT
'Hooray for you, boy! Them's silver car
Donates, or my name amt William Henry
Baker, commonly called Bill! Yes, sir!
there's silver enough in that wheelbarrer-
load to set you up in bizness- amt there,
right by you!"
And so they Ndid, protecting his rights and
helping him in the further development of
his claim, which proved to be a very valu-
able piece OF property, so that Ted started
for home six weeks subsequent with more
money than his entire family had ever possess
ed before.
To his surprise he found, on reaching
home, that his father had died two weeks
before
His step-mother was very anxious to be
appointed Ted's guardian, but Ted was now
his choice did not fall on his step-mother,
and the "piece of her mind She gave him
when he declined doing SO was the last she
ever gave him.
He returned to his mine with the good and
honest man he had chosen as his Guardian
and today he lives in large and beautifril

handsome home paid for with silver from the
Bonny Belle, which he still owns.

case of an attack. But this we did not greatly
fear, for the old frontiersmen assured us the
Indians would not stop to attack body OF
men so well fortified.
After two days of suspense ranger rode
in with the information that the. soldiers
from Camp Supply had passed in hot pur-
suit of the savages, and that we, could now
go home with safety. A few of the more
daring ventured out, but most preferred to
remain another day before returning to their
homes. When, on the next day, the report
was confirmed, we hastened to our ranch.
From the crest of the long hill overlooking
the valley our eager eyes sought the little red
house.
Only heap of black ashes marked where
it once stood. Even the sheds were con-
sumed. Not even the roof of the stable
remained. 1t was too true; the savages had
destroyed everything. AS we came near we
found the body Of our COW half eaten by the
wolves.
We looked sorrowfully at each other. All
our hopes were blasted The castles we had
reared had been rudely demolished.
Suddenly we were arousedfrom our gloomy
thoughts by half bark, half yelp, which we

put shot into him anyhow, Hi. It'd keep
his tongue from wagging, and"
Ted waited to hear no more, but was Oh
as fast as his trembling limbs would carry
him, while bullet followed him so closey
that he heard it go singing by his ear as he
ran wildly into the pines.
Ten minutes later he ran, painting and
breathless, into the circle of men sitting and
lying around Bill Bakers campfire.
"Hello, boy!" cried Baker himself. Struck
it rich and gone crazy over it y
"I-I don't know" .gasped Ted, choking as
he spoke. ''The've stolen my mine from me,
if have found anything"
''Who's stolen it?'
"Two men. i don't know who they were
strangers, think. They drove me off, and
tried to kill me. But it's my mine. Some
of you heard Texas Jim say so"
'tOf course we did," cried several of the
men, jumping excitedly to their feet.
"1t is yours, sonny-worthless old hole,
though it is, and there's got to be fair play
over it. This amt healthy neighborhood
for mine and lot jumpers, even II mines and
lots amt worth twenty five cents dozen jist
at the present time.N
Ted told his story in few words, and In
less than an hour twenty wellarmed men were
marching silently toward the Bonny Belle,
with Ted among them.
The result might have been too tragieal
for me to write about, had not the two mine
jumpers made a narrow escape in the dark
ness.
They were hotly pursued, but not found,
and Quartz City knew them no more.

7HEN we read in historical works that
INAIl Germany once swarmed with wiz
w game that wolves formerly attack
fs0SyS5I ed travellers in the suburbs OF farls,
lgS1EG9 and that the wild boar was hunted
ten miles from London. we are
forcibly impressed with the wonderful m marcn
of civilization. 1t is true that boars stih I'M
ger in some parts of Austria and hungary
and the lordly stag is hunted IN Hcotiano,
while wolves are often the terror OF traVeleis ia ~
on Russia's mighty steppes. But for all prac-
tical purposes it may be safely SAID tnae Hu-
rope as a hunting ground is no more.
Africa still swarms with big game, and ASA
is the abode of the lion and tiger; but it hap
pens that both these grand divisions of the
earth are far away, and so full of dangers
that hunting loses much of its zest.
The sportsman is quite willing to take his
chances of being hunted by his game, but ne
declaedly objects to fighting fevers and other
malarial diseases, and to being robbed, de-
serted and perhaps killed by faithless attend
ants In America none of these latter dam
gers are to be encountered, and, IN conse-
quence, America is the paradise OF sports
men. Travel is rapid and safe, the guides
are honest and the climate is healthful.
European sportsmen have discovered these
facts, as the swarms of hunters who arrive
on every incoming steamer testify Indeed
they seem more alive to our hunting facilities
than Americans especially those who re-
side in our large cities-yet there is not a
large city in the country that does not pos
sess a splendid hunting ground within twelve
hours ride.
For instance, take Boston. The Boston
sportsman in twelve hours can be IN the
heart of Maine, and few hours more may
find him on the New Brunswick border,
where game is very plentiful. The New
Yorker has the famous Adirondack region at
his command, and the Philadelphian in
few hours may plunge into the Alleghenies

fish can see In water, but not out OF IT,
The shadow of split bamboo rod thrown
across pool viii create in fish the same
skittishness as would be caused by an ele-
phant browsing upon the bank. :.
A passing cloud over shallow and pellu-
cid pool protects the angler and puts an
other fin or two in his creel, where mo-
ment before each cast of his drove the fish
to deeper pools or behind protecting rocks.
An old angling friend once said to me
that fish were like ostriches in some of their
ways, notably in that they seemed to- feel
safe when their noses were hid behind tuft
of grass or in the crevices of sunken rock.
''Fish facing the sun, and forget not this
rule, even when the twilight is over the
waters by casting toward the west" was the
law enacted by his knowledge, based upon
experience, of the effect of shadows upon
the wary fish, who are more startled by un-
usual appearances on the surface of pool
than they are by strange things below.
Vision and hearing in fishes being the
senses most important to the angler in his
water sports, those next In value are smell
and taste. The possession of these by fish
seems to be disputed point.
They have evidently taste in modified
degree, as they will reject the artificial lure
if the barb of the hook is not Immediately
imbedded in their flesh, but on the other
hand, they will take leather or rubber imi-
tation of the natural bait with as much
gusto as a live minnow or bug-hence tn.
question is see-saw one.

come bounding toward u.s.
When finally he reached us he was almost
crazed with joy. His body, tail and legs made
every conceivable motion. He did not confine
these demonstrations of affection to us alone,
but ran round and round the horses, now
springing at their noses or saddles, then rush,
ing toward us, performing in his, ecstasy of
delight all the tricks we had taught him.
Suddenly his manner changed. He started
for the canyon, then stopped and barked as if
to say "Come on!"
We followed him eagerly, for until then It
did not seem possible that the sheep could
have escaped destruction. Even had the In
dams not found them, they must have been

Then we relapsed into moody silence. As
we neared the village we could see wagons
and horsemen hurrying from all directions to
the common place of safety.
As we entered the town, preparations for
defense were to be seen on every hand. The
streets were barricaded with lumber from an
adjoining yard. All the women and children
had been placed in the large hotel. Armed

BUT MAY BE REVIVED WHEN
THE SEWER QUESTION is SAFE.
~ DISPOSED OF.

What members term the most inter-
esting session of the West Side I'M
provement association in its history"
was held Friday night at the Baxter
school in West Richmond. Mrs. NJ.
F. Johnston delivered an address on
the subject of Civic Beauty" that was
considered excellent. She spoke for q
higher beauty in public and private
life, and also dwelt at some length on
the Riverside park proposition, which
has been discussed in recent months.
Mrs. Johnston said that no more beau
tiful park could be arranged in Rich
mond. and its after appearance would
more than compensate the city for the
expense of the Improvement. She
said all will wonder that there is any
hesitation in making the park a reali-
zation. 1t is seldom a city has it
within its power to add so much to its
beauty as Richmond, by the park
scheme as already planned.
Her address met the hearty approval
Of the members of the West Side asso-
citation, although but little discussion
followed. The organization has not
by any means dropped the Riverside
park proposition. but it is now dor
mant as the attention of the associa-
ton is directed to securing west side
sewers. When work on these has
been started, the park proposition may
again be taken up with renewed inter-
est.
Friday night the association was IA
vored with the presence of the Gar
field orchestra. which rendered six
very excellent numbers. The work of
the orchestra would reflect credit upon
a mucn older organization. There
are twelve youngsters in the body.
