might and clang that loud voice as he
would, nothing stirred In the old field.
When we first saw this we wondered
what he would do for breakfast.
But Nimrod was no one to sit down
with his hands in his pockets n say
that the world owed him a living, and
wait for some one to bring his break
fast to him. What he seemed to be
saying was, "There may be something
under those bushes-TH see." So he
began hunting. This was quite a diff
ferent thing from catching the quarry
after he had seen it. 1t might be any
end of the field and went all over 1t,
taking bush by bush in the most
systematic manner and beating around
every oae SO lercely that nothing could
escape him.
Sometimes he adopted q different
plan. We would look in vain for him,
until at last we would see him perched
on some old dead tree, as motionless
as though he were carved in stone; and
for an hour at a time there would not
be the fiutter of one of his feathers.
The creatures of the field would he
quite gay, missing him, n would in
dulge in all kinds of frolicsome gam
bols; when all at once, down would
dart the red hunter into their midst,
and for some one of them the frollck-
ing would be over.
We had a great respect for Nimrod,
even if he did kill small, helpless things.
HE works so hard for his living we
