 My bird," she screamed.
 "Bosh! I simply smothered him." objected George
 Prove it!" was the challenge.
 Down the youngsters pumped with the bird between them, while Blake and Coulson came and stood over them in wonder Kit extracted the pin that held her Tam O Shanter, and be- gan probing the bird with it. George, with a penknife, became similarly en- gagged
 There you are!' he cried, present. ly, exhibiting a black speck. No. c. knew I'd got him!'
 But his eXultation was shortlived The next moment the girl held up gory fingers with a pellet between them.
 No. 7-my bird!" she exclaimed in triumph.
 "A double hit, by Jove!" crie1 Blake. II say-do you'-looking from one to the other-"do you shoot much?"

 He sent glance full of irritation at the young Hedleys, who, with their backs to the hedge, stood waiting in the next field
 It's too bad of Hedley,' agreed Coulson. This Is one of his practical jokes, suppose. Why, the girls only 13, and the boy not much more!"
 Children with guns-I never heard of anything so idiotic!"
 Toys I call them. They'll frighten everything for miles,"
 Blake fidgeted with his safety-bolt. What the deuce can I do?" he re- fiected dolefully. Presently he went through the gate and approached the boy.
 You'll be very careful. won't you, George?" he said in troubled voice. "Oh, yes,' said the boy cheerfully. And you, Kathleen-you don't think it will tire you to carry a gun?" "Oh, no MT. Blake; not at all"
 Blake shrugged his shoulders help lessly. He felt he could do no more, and he left them muttering unkind things about their inconsiderate father.
 What charge are you using, Kit?" asked the boy when Blake was out of hearing.
 'Twenty-six grains of S. and three quarters of an ounce of No. chilled" |" was the girls matter-of-fact answer as

George brought 1t down al 70 yards. The rest flew wide.

 My bird!" one or the other would yall out each time anything got up, aad the constant repetition of the words had the effect of furrying the men.
 The two small guns seemed at times Go be keeping up a fusillade. It was not that game was more plentiful than usual, but because nothing escaped the youngsters keen eyes. They got on at lightning speed. Even when a bird rose right under the muzzle of Blake s own gun one of them would rob him of his shot before he could pull trig- ger.
 Nineteen for me nodded George to his sister as they paused to let the dogs work a patch.
 "Seventeen-only two behind" re turned the girl evenly, as she bowled over the first rabbit that bolted Mind the dog, she admonished Blake, who, seeing movement in the patch, had raised his gun.
 "Awfully sorry" he stammered hardly knowing what he was saying.
 Never saw anything like it in my life admitted Coulson, in an awe struck tone to his host when, little later on, Kit took a snapshot across a reed-bed at a woodeock and bagged 1t.
 And to think 1 asked them to be careful!" confessed Blake in dismay.
 AS the morning wore on the two men became completely demoralized They shot disgracefully, missing birds and holding yards behind rabbits. They began to be glad of the stray shots that the youngsters had, per force, occasionally to leave them.
 And all the while the boys 20 bore kept going, as though it had but a single trigger, and the crack of the girls 26 almost emulated it.

The reports of the distinguished en-
tertainment which was recently given
in Baltimore by members of the most
fashionable club in that city have been
confirmed by number of Washington
society women who attended it.
The entertainment was for the pur-
pose of burlesquing the treatment of
diseases and it is said that persons
who took in the burlesque represented
patients suffering from various diseas-
es who submitted TO examination by
others who persOnated the medical and
surgical profession.
Some of the features of the affair
were absolutely revolving, not the least
of which was the appearance of one OF
the most prominent society matrOns in
a bathing suit. who was immersed in a
hathtub filled with water and covered
with flowers One can imagine her
appearance when she emerged from
this bath.
At another stage of the program
three Teddy Bears were brought in as
the triplet offspring Of one OF the par
Elephants in this disgusting burleSQue.
Many other features characterized
the designations OF the evening TO the
disgust of the whole country.
