was not wide enough for the wistful
doe. She decided one day to jump
through the fence and explore the hills
The first effort proved so easy that 1t
became a habit with her. The buck
was not so bold. but stood on the inside
with longing in his eye as he watched
her scamper away through the woods
The air was 80 fine this morning that
he was more reckless. The doe jumped
at a hole in the fence and the wire was
so weak that it gave way, and she was
free. The buck ran toward the opening
to follow.
He was all through but his spreading
antlers. They caught in the wire above,
and, swapping back his head, broke his
neck
The only consolation Dan Carey, the
manager of parks, has, is the fine veni-
son, for the buck is fat and sleek.
