Ana they came near losing a day out
! of the few remaining days of the
open season for birds by the ravages
of the dog FLU" which had prostrat-
ed the last animal in their kennel.
On Tuesday morning they started out
with but one dog in the cor and he
was weak and thin ard trembling
from the effects of the pre-alent can
inc distemper; but they thought that,
by the time the hunting grounds were
reached, the animal would be in a
condition to provide them with flying
feathery targets. But VIXEN they had
reached section twCnty-nine on the
shell road where the hunting was to
take place the high-spirited pointer,
for the first time in his life, failed to
leap from the car as it stopped, and

dog, or that he could detect, in

or bird on the ground. His nose
was broad and so fiat that It's zip was
