boy with his terrible gun trudging
across the Green Meadows to the Big
River. Instead of going to the hiding
place of the day before he made a
new one further down.
Then came the hunter little ear
lier than usual. Instead of stopping
at his blind he walked straight to
the blind Farmer Browns boy had
first made. OF course, there was no
one there. The hunter looked both
glad and disappointed. He went back
to his own blind and sat down. and
while he watched for the coming OF
the Ducks he also watched that other
blind to see If the unknown hunter OF
the night before would appear. Of
course. he didn't. and when at last the
hunter saw the Ducks coming he was
sure that this time he would get some
of them.
But the same thing happened that
had happened the night before. just
as those Ducks We're almost neaI
enough a gun went Bang, bang!
and away went the Ducks. They
didn't come back again, and once
more disappointed hunter went
home without any
The next afternoon he was on hand
very early. He was there before
Farmer Browns boy arroved, and
when he did come, of course, the
hunter saw him. He walked down to
where Farmer Browns boy was hid
den in the rushes. Hello" said he
Are you the one who was shooting
here last night and the night be-
fore?'
Farmer Browns boy grinned. "Yes, u
said he.
What luck did you have?" asked
the hunter.
Fine" replied Farmer Browns boy
How many Ducks did you get?
asked the hunter.
Farmer Browns boy grinned more
broadly than before. None" said he
II guess I'm not a very good shot.
Then what did you mean by saying
you had fine luck?" demanded the
hunter
oh" replied Farmer Browns boy
81 had the luck to see those Ducks
and the fun of shooting" and he
grinned again.
The hunter lost patience. He tried
to order Farmer Browns boy away
But the latter said he had as much
right there as the hunter had and the
hunter knew that this was so. Final.
! ly, he gave up and, muttering angrily
went back to his blind. Again the
gun of Farmer Browns boy fright
ened away the Ducks just as they
were coming in.
The next afternoon there was nj
hunter, nor the next, though Farmer
Browns boy was there. The huntel
! had decided that it was d waste OF
time to hunt there while Farmer
Browns boy was about.

SETBACK FOR GERMANY.
Economic Recovery Believed Due
for Severe Reaction,

Efforts of Germany to effect an eco
nomic recovery appear due for a set
back, according to a survey of condi-
tions in that country made public to-
day by the Department of Commerce.
German financial and industrial cir
eles," the survey said, seem to be in
the midst of feverish activity, but
this condition is likely to be met with
a severe reaction when the necessity
arises for purchasing large amounts
of foreign raw materials with the
greatly depressed German mark and
when the results of the present over
purchasing by German consumers
manifests Itself"
German government finances, the
survey declared, are characterized by
extraordinary currency .defiation and
by the prospect of large budget def
icit, due largely to the necessity of
redeeming short-term obligations in
Cured by Germany in meeting the
first cash indemnity payment and the
further need OF meeting other repara-
ton obligations before April 80, 1922.
