on went with me, driven by an all
round plainsman, man of iron nerves
and varied past the sheriff of our
county. He was an old friend OF
mine; at one time l had served as
deputy-sheriff for the northern end of
the county. In the wagon we carried
our food and camp kit, and our three
rolls of bedding, each wrapped in a
thick, nearly waterproof canvas sheet:
we had a tent, but we never needed it
The load being light, the wagon was
drawn by but a span of horses, n pair

and afterwards to ride up and down
the sandy river bed, where the cattle
had gathered, to look over some young
steers we had put on the range the
preceding spring. When we did camp
it was by pool of stagnant water, in

My foreman and l usually rode far
off to one side Of the wagon, looking
out for antelope. OF these we at first
saw few, but they grew more plentiful
as We journeyed onward, approaching
a big. scantily wooded creek, where
had found the prong-horn abundant in
previous seasons. They were very
wary and watchful whether going sin
gly or in small parties, and the lay of
the land made 1t exceedingly difficult
to get within range. The last time
had hunted in this neighborhood was
in the fall, at the height of the rutting

The Cricket's Warnind

Where hawthorn branches lntertwine.
And there all night fretful cricket
By accident or by design
Proclaims that summers on the wane,
Insists that autumn winds ere long
VIII blow across the hills again
And leave the world bcreft of song.
I wake at midnight from my dreaming
And rcs.lsssly toss to and fro
What time the cricket keeps on scream

'The autumn winds ere long w''1 blow,
Tho peaceful rostsul summer days
With summers joys will soon be past.
The sumac soon will be ablaze.
The nights are growing longer fast"
Out on you and your sad complaining,
Oh foolish little pessimist!

Therefore you may as well deslst.

Nor scold because the nights grow

For when the haze is on the hills
My dreaming quickens into song.

When fresh meat Is urgently needed,
and when time is too short, the hunter
who is after antelope in an open fiat
tish country must risk many long
shots. In no other kind of hunting is
there so much long-distance shooting.
Throwing the buck into the wagon
we continued our journey across the
prairie. no longer following any road,
and before sunset jolted down towards
the big creek for which we had been
heading. There were many water
holes therein, and timber of considera-
BILE size; box alder and ash grew here
and there in clumps and fringes, be-
side the serpentine curves of the near
ly dry torrent bed the growth being
thickest under the shelter Of the occa-
sional low bluffs. We drove down to
a heavily grassed bottom, near deep,
narrow pool. with, at one end, that
rarest of luxuries in the plains coun-
try, bubbling spring of pure, cold
water. With plenty of wood, delicious
water, ample feed for the horses, and
fresh meat we had every comfort and
luxury incident to camp life in good
weather. The bedding was tossed out
on a smooth spot beside the wagon
the horses were watered and tethered
to picket pins where the feed was
best; water was fetched from the
spring; a deep hole was dug for the
fire. and the grass roundabout care
fully burned off; and in a few mo-
ments the bread was baking in the
Dutch oven, the potatoes We're boiling.
antelope steaks were sizzling in the
frying-pan, and the kettle was ready
for the tea. After supper, eaten with
the relish known we'll to every hard
working and successful hunter. we sat
for half an hour or SO round the fire.
and listened to the wailing of the
coyotes until we fell sound asleep.
We determined to stay in this camp
all day, so as to try and kill another
prong-buck, as we would soon be past
the good hunting grounds. | did not
have to go far for my game next morn
ing. for soon after breakfast, while
sitting on my canvas bag cleaning my
rifle, the sheriff suddenly called to me
that a bunch of antelope We're coming
