shock but luckily their car re-
manned upon the track.

of not being able to
meet himself face to face with a
deer beast. Yah!

by became exceedingly chesty,
stating that any chump ought
to throw away his hunting IL
cense after missing sure thing
like Rogers did, Three days
later Menefee got his, this time
the hoodoo working overtime.
Menefee hunted up a likely run

log, sat down on a postage
stamp, folded it around his body
and looked wise His opportun-
ity came in the shape OF a hand
some buck, which stopped dead
still and begun sizing up the

pointing an automatic gun

trigger and then ambled over to
pick up his meat. 1t wasn't
