pretty we'll to the wndward of the bulk of the
decoys, with just enough of them around 1t to
hide 1t from birds coming down on the head; and
in getting in pick our way carefully through
the decoys and step from the skf we'll over to-
ward the center, not to get any water in
the boxes On the deck of the box we have 12
iron decoys that are cut off on the bottom, so as
to loom up higher than those the water and
these we distribute around, heads to the wind
to make the box lay level We each have rub
ber cloth and old sweater to lie on and
cloth-covered rubber pillow for our heads. Ad-
Justing these comfortably, load guns,
cock them and place them against the side on
our right hand, taking care to keep at least two
inches of the barrels over the end of the box,
that in of accidental discharge there will
be no hole blown in the box. Long experience
In battery shooting has taught me that the long
er the barrels of a gun are, the safer 1t is, and
/ heartily recommend 32 inch barrels.
Being all ready to lie down, with only our eyes
above the level of the water, and await the CON-
Ing of our quarry. Two men with sharp eyes can
keep pretty thorough watch except just be-
hind them, and birds coming from that quarter
generally swing off to side the other of
the stool that they can set their wings and
light among the decoys headed up to the wind.
You, as the guest of honor, are in the 1eft-hand
box, and just the is rising see a bunch
of brant coming in the beach from the
ocean where they have been roosting. If they
are headed in direction, and / think they
will pass near enough to see our stool, lie
very close, and occasionally call them; but the
moment they see the stoo-and you can always
tells this, because they give sort of dart up in
the air and If they are coming in, settle down
again headed toward us-I make further calls
but say to you: "They are coming in on your
side. Lie perfectly still until say Now!' and
then give 1t to them"
1t is one of the most inspiring sights in the
world to bunch of these lordly birds head
ed for the STOOL and a great many people are
deceived as to the distance they are off, on ac.
count of their great size-often losing a chance
by raising too quickly. ] watch them with one
eye above the edge of the box they set their
wings and come gracefully to the STOOL and when
they in good range, ! say: "Now! Let's
try 'em!" and sit up with our guns in our
hands and fire. AS they are on your side and
headed up to windward. you will get the best
show, because must shoot at the tail of the
bunch and will not have as good chance to
catch double you. You can count on my
killing right and left however, and as my second
bird starts to fall, see you have three down.
We'll done my friend. We are not going to
be skunked today, There are five ofthem any

We both reload our guns, and take my cap
in my hand and swing 1t until see an answering
signal from the Macy. This means that they are

TO DRAW AND HOLD TRADE

Most of u.s., said Mr. Shovelton, ''are looking out
for ourselves 1 think well all admit that. The
trouble with most of is that we don't do this
intelligently; we are always thinking Of ourselves
and own interest only; and that's where we
slip cog. Let me illustrate:
II buy fruit to carry home; I've done that for
we'll, good many years, and for long time /
bought around in various places. Then one day
some years ago stopped at store where l liked
the looks of the fruit and where noticed mo-
ment later the paper bags a little heavier
than those 1 had been accustomed to find.
"And when this dealer had put the fruit in one of
these bags he didn't simply twist the neck of 1t
and hand 1t over to me in a form inconvenient
to carry. He folded the top of the bag over and
rolled 1t down to form a handle-a grip piece; and
then he tied this bundle around securely with
twine thus making 1t up altogether into a bundle
that was secure and handy to carry.
"Of course liked all that, and found that he
always did up his packages SO or putting on some
times wood and wire handle; but always he made
the package secure and handy for me. He had
some thought for me, and I've been buying of him
ever since and II he should move I'd follow him
l would go out of my way to trade with him.
The moral is this: ANY small storekeeper II
his goods are right, can build up trade and hold
1t and increase It. If he has the intelligence and the
human quality that prompts him faithfully to con
slider not himself alone but as well the wants ant
interests of his customers"

it is just here that the science of using the mop

kill some brant. 1t is half-past one o'clock, and
look up from my desk and see my fathers smil

once more to the local steam train and while
away the next hour in swapping stories The

platform and into the dilapidated hack that
takes down to the dock. AS it Is early in the
and the days have not yet shortened
enough to make 1t impossible for to reach
our destination before dark, the Macy Is awaiting
us, anchored just off the dock, and we see our
good George coming off in the little skif to speed

AS you board the skiff you will not have to ask
George, Are there any birds?" for he will say:

greets with a CHEEKY Good day gentlemen

don our old shooting things, as the men get the
anchor up and hoist the sail, and are soon in
the cockpit enjoying the fresh air. Our progress
is slow and stately, due to the otilla behind us,
but we have only about four miles to CO. Notice
now the third member of our crew, big, tall
fair-haired man with a smile that never comes
off. This is Ansel, a newcomer to the Macy in
comparison with the skipper, for Ansel has been
with us only 20 years. He is very important

eral utility man and fun-maker for us all. Hark!
There is his voice calling us to dinner
You sit down before smoking leg of lamb and
dishes of vegetables, with an appetite to which

you are astonished at yourself Topping off with

feet long, and consists of one large
room with four wide berths, and toll
let room and kitchen on either side
of the centerboard at the forward
end
Father named the boat Macy, after
an old friend, and has had her con-
tinuously in commission since she was
launched; and Andrew Sammis, her
first captain, is still in charge-a bit
gray now, but still the same careful
and trustworthy skipper as of yore.
With the opening of the ducking sea-
son in October she goes into what we
call winter commission, and when the
end of the season comes around she
is hauled out, thoroughly overhauled
and prepared for the summer work.
A few years ago we built an overhang-
Ing stern on her and installed a gaso-
line engine, so that we are no longer
the slaves Of the wind god. The
"Macy's Baby" as the stoolboat that
carries the battery is called, Is al
ways at her stern, and this, with the
addition Of two skiffs and one or more
dinkies for use in the ice, makes quite
a formidable tow for the old boat.
When we have more than day or
two to spend in the quest for the
willy duck, we send the Macy out early
to get a good place, and have cat
boat meet us at the dock to sail over
to her. Generally we catch a train
that arrives at Babylon at half-past
three o'clock, and we reach the dock
ten minutes afterwards.
