clarion tone uttered the magic word

and thrilled more manly bosoms than
almost any other in the human Ian.

speculated as to their age, weight and
destination and otherwise thoroughly
enjoyed the spectacle.
We had no more than got the crick
out of our necks when a second dele
cation Of fat and saucy goslings cut
the zenith in the wake of the advance
guard. 1t became plain that If we were
to get any ducks at this particular
point we would have to go back and
get larger guns. Something about six
inches across the muzzle and shooting
in the neighborhood of half-keg Of
fine nails might have brought home
the meat, but our twelves wouldn't
even dent their complexions
After surveying another cornfield we
hitched up our surcingles a notch and
paced 1t back to the auto. We next
journeyed several miles west and
south, aiming to locate the spot from
whence the ducks were coming.
Flocks Of prairie chickens, fat as but
ter and with crops filed with good
Iowa corn, tainted us as we flew past
several fields. We took another long
look at our license, throttled down
the buzz-wagon and started in to stalk
band of twenty-seven saucy stubble
ducks over to the left.
We had made a beautiful sneak for
half the distance, when Kidder got an
other jack-rabbit rise. Somewhat to
my surprise and disgust Kidder let
drive handful of number fives into
the nearest portion Of the jack, which
caused the aforesaid to execute the
prettiest somersault l ever witnessed
Hastily picking up the jack we
crammed him into the rear end of Kid

CARRIES FORTUNE TO GRAVE
French Miser Named AngIade Secretes
Wealth Under Armpits Before
Death.

A miser named Anglade, who died
at Pau recently carried part of his for
tunue with him into the grave and hid
the balance in order to prevent any
one else using the money.
Throughout his life Anglade's only
ambition was to amass money, a Paris
correspondent Of the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat says. He virtually starved
himself in order to save as much as
possible and his only fear of death
was based on the regret that he could
not take his possessions into the next
world.
He steadfastly refused to give his
relatives any information about his
possessions and after his death his
wife made a systematic search of the
house, with the result that $3.50 was
found in gold and pank notes secreted
In out-of-the-way places.

She believed that this represented
all his wealth, but when a bank clerk
presented note for payment of a
loan promised by the miser and said
that Anglade had a document confirm
ing the transaction the widow decided
that her husband must have taken the
paper to the grave.
The grave was then opened in the
presence Of magistrate Packets OF
bank notes and bonds, with number
Of other documents, including the one
sought for. were found under the
mans armpits.
Opportunity was taken to search a
bamboo cane, which. according to
Anglade's dying wish, was buried with
him. Each section of the cane was
found to contain notes and gold
wrapped In cotton WOOL

II had been troubled with faint

up. kidder ran the machine into the
shade of a barbed-wire fence to con
ceal 1t, while we crawled several rods
out into a cow pond so we would have
| plenty Of inducement for our game to
| drop in on us. We held our breath till
we saw pinwheels and finally the
ducks decided to come over They
were SO far up in the atmosphere
that I threw my gun away and felt
around for my lunch. but Kidder took
a few cracks at them with his piston
action scatter-gun for luck.
Strange as it may seem. a duck
fell. We could find no hole in the
duck nor any apparent cause for
death. 1t had sort of tired express

solve to show it to an experienced vet

We then boarded the auto. went an
other mile and disembarked into a

understood it, we came away.
We then came to gate, on which

This was a mistake There really
was good hunting In that field We
started up six rabbits and a copious
perspiration in crossing it, Also took

over with no immediate casualties. We

At this time Kidder looked at his

eleven a. m, with us at least a dozen
miles from a warm meal We there
fore swore off our vendetta against the
ducks and footed it mile to the auto
After some tinkering. kidder persuad-
ed her to wake up and we headed for
launch. 1t was a great day for ducks,
but poor day for duck-hunters.
