about one hour at the noise of differ

what this strange commotion meant.
And to ascertain the center of attrac-

brought about by the marriage of Mr.

the coon run up the tree and said that
1t was between the size of large
coon and a small wild cat Jim
would not assert that he saw the
| coon, for he said that he had lost his
| glasses and his eye-sight is poor after
night; there was one consolation,
however, he assured us that whatever
1t was it had nearly stripped the tree

a large hole was found in the tree.
consultation was then held and it was
decided to cut the tree. Then at
Jim's suggestion we hunters divided
ourselves in three groups. One group
was to go after the necessary tools,
and the other was to go to Michael
Engles to find out what Il large coon
pelt is worth.
jim in one group all by himself
said that he would watch the tree
while we were gone, but told us to
make all possible haste in, getting
back.
While Jim was watching $he tree,
he bethought himself that It would he
a good time for him to sharpen his
knife, for he supposed that he woul1
soon be called upon to remove the
pelt from shis coonship.
In couple of hours we all arrived
back at the tree none the worse for
our chase. Then the tedious, job of
cutting the tree began. AS HIM had
helped to do the freeing, we agreed
to let him hold the dogs NEAR the
tree. At length the tree began to
crack and soon fell with crush. The
dogs were let loose with shouts OF
Sick 'em, sick 'em. We sincerely
hate to spoil this coon story. but what
do you think the dogs caughtY Ifs.
ten, we will tell you-a gray squirrel.
Some of the party were inclined to
be angry with Jim for causing us so
much trouble but he frankly acknow-
lodged that he had been mistaken,
and had barked up the wrong tree;
moreover, he made solemn promise
that he would be sure Of his game the
next time he barked.
AS the night was far advanced, we
thought it time to adjourn, and as
some one seconded the motion, we
gathered up tools and started for
home. Jim followed in the rear with
feathers dropping, reminding us very
much of a rooster that had been
caught out in hard rain.
The next morning as we were In
the store rehearsing the events of
the previous evening Michael Engle
stepped into the store to buy the
coon pelt He was greatly taken back
when told that we had succeeded on
ly in capturing blood-thirsty, and
man-eating gray squirrel. Then we
took good laugh at Mikes expense,
but he informed us that the joke was
not on him at all, but on our brother
hunter. However, Mike said he would
treat the crowd to the smokes, and
stand the chance of buying our fur in
the future. We agreed to give him
the first chance on all fur caught in
the future, as he has always dealt
fairly and squarely with us.
Everything must have an end, and
so ends one of the most remarkable
coon hunts in the history of Ilesboro.
