eyes and an unshaven jaw, took q
seat beside him and began twisting o
greasy black mustache.

ESKRSESH mountain from OpeuCerS w
ng3I confer with young Byram,
s-SS road-master at Foxville, he
found that youthful official reshingl-
ing his barn.
The two men observed each other
warily for moment; Byram jingled
the shingle-nails in his apron-pocket;
Dingman, the game-warden, took
brief but intelligent survey of the
house, a hen-yard, and the newly
shingled barn.
"Hello, Byram," he said, at length.
"Is that your" replied Byram,
coldly.
He was law-abiding young man;
he had not shot bird out of season
for three years.
After pause the game-warden
said, "Ain't you a-comin' down off'n
that ridge-pole?"
"Pm a-comin' down when / quit
shinglin'," replied the road-master,
cautiously. Dingman waited; Byram
fitted shingle, fished out a nail from
his apron-pocket, and drove it with
unnecessary noise!
The encircling forest re-echoed the
hammer strokes; a squirrel scolded
from the orchard.
"Didn't l hear gun go off in them
alder bushes this morning?" inquired
the game-warden. Byram made no
reply, but hammered violently. Any
body got ice-house round here?"
persisted the game-warden.
Byram turned non-committal eye
on the warden.
"I quit that business three years
ago, an you know it," he said. II
amt got no ice-house for to hide
no patridges, an l amt a-shootin'
out O. season for the Saratogy markell"
The warden regarded him with
"Who said you was shootin' pa
tridges?" he asked. But Byram broke
in:
"What would / go shootin' them
birds for when 'ain't got no ice-box2"
"Who says yoa got ice-box?"
replied the warden, calmly. "There
is other folks in Foxville, amt there?"
Byram grew angrier. "If you want
to stop this shootin' out O season."
he said, "you go to them rich hotel
men in Saratogy. Are you afraid jest
because they've got pull with them
politicians that makes the game-laws
and then pays the hotel men to serve
elm game out U SEASON IN TedSOnl
Them's the men to ketch; them's
the men that set the poor men to
vi'latin' the law. Folks here amt
got no money to buy powder m shot
for to shoot nothin'. But when them
Saratogy men offers two dollars bird
for partridge out O. season, what
dye think is bound to happen?"
"Shootin'," said the warden, sem
tentiously. "An' it's been did, too.
AM / am here for to find out who
done that shootin' in them alders."
"Well, why don't you find out, then?"
sneered young Byram from his perch
on the ridge-pole.
"That's it," said the warden, bitter
ly; call you folks hang together like
bees in a swarm-bunch. You're nuthin'
but a passed. o. critters that digs gin
seng for them Chinese an goes gunnin'
for cartridges out o. season"
"1'll go gunnin' for youP' shouted
Byram, climbing down the ladder in
a rage. 81 am going to knock your
head off, you darned thingp
Prudence halted him; the game-war-
den, who had at first meditated flight,
now eyed him with patronizing assur-
ance.
