The Hunted Hunter.
Tho hunter may ne hunted
And never once SUSPECT
His every step he noted
Yrr he no one detect

The hunter who had started out to
hunt for Buster Bear. and then had
been so startled by Buster thar he
had forgotten To shoot, knew that he

Hunting for Buster Bear now would
he a waste of time. SO he decided
that he would just tramp around as
silently as he could and trust to luck
that he would surprise some one else.

though the air was baimy and
