all OF the Joy Of living, writes Lewis s.
WEIGH, in the Atlantic. Quite plainly
true is 1t that the gun is a signal of
danger; that the gun dog is an animal
to be feared by those whom he loves
to hunt; that the approach of man is
the approach OF possible enemy.
Man and dog and gun are signs to the

for the bird; II Is often very inconveni-

spect for the hoary head is an excellent vir-

however that here was no preliminary
