Bivalve Conquered by Clinging to the
Fowls Bill Until the Bird Was
Drowned.

Not long ago there occurred lively
contest in Maryland waters between
duck and an oyster. The oyster
was victorious, but it was fatal vic
tory. for when the bivalve had killed
the duck there appeared a man who
killed the oyster and ate them both.
The combat between the duck and
the oyster was of the rough and tum-
BILE kind. The duck was large and
full grown. 1t was of the diving spe-
cies frequently seen in those waters.
Now when the oyster feeds it opens
its shell so wide that the full oyster
itself is plainly visible. The sight OF
such morsel was too great tempta-
ton for the duck. He made head
long plunge, inserting his bill between
the oysters open shell.
Like fash the shell closed on the
ducks beak. Then came a struggle
for life. The oyster, which was quite
large one, was dragged from its bed,
with three smaller biyalves clinging
to it, the cluster being heavy enough
to keep the ducks head under water.
In this way the bird drowned. Its
buoyancy was sufficient to float It
with the oysters, and thus it drifted
near the dock, where it was captured.
When taken from the water the oys-
ter was clinging to the birds beak
with such force that considerable diff
ficulty was had in breaking its hold.

eager to welcome him.
He fancied that the newcomer would
undoubtedly assist him in dissuading
Armstrong from his foolhardy, useless
enterprise.
"Mornin'. old man." drawled kirkby.

Kirkby didn't love Armstrong. He

there was something in the bold hardi-
hood of the man. something in the way
which ne met the reckless challenge of
the mountains that the old man and
all the others felt that moved the in
most soul of the hardy frontiersman.
He threw an approving glance at him.
Il tell him that it is absurd, impossi-
