SEASON CLOSED
ON GAME BIRDS
FOLLOWING THOROUGH SURVEY OF
CONDITIONS IN STATE. BOARD
TAKES ACTION
Unfavorable Spring Conditions Cause
Hatch to be Very Short; Most OF Mon
tana's Rod and Gun Clubs In Favor
of Closing

Montana's state fish and game COM
mission last week declared the season
closed for the year on all upland game
birds, when the following motion was
passed unanimously at the quarterly
meeting st the state capitol: because
OF general unfavorable reports OF the
early hatch, the state fish and game
commission hereby declares closed sea-
son in the entire state on all upland
game birds to prevent undue destruc-
ton and depletion which would require
years to correct"
Hence, ducks n geese will be the only
game birds available to Montana hunters
his year.
Action was taken by the commission
after a thorough investigation conducted
by Chairman Thomas N. NARROW of Mis-
soula, Game Warden Robert H. Hill and
every member of the state board. Hun
dreds OF letters have bee npouring into
state headquarters from sportsmen and
county clubs urging that the season be
closed because OF the bird shortage. In
the canvass conducted by Mr.. NARROW
among rod and gun clubs in the So coun-
ties of the state he received 40 replies
with clubs in SO counties ~favortng the
closed season and bird conservation. Out
of the 40 replies. 36 were for a closed
season, eight opposed n FIVE qualified
eAtt AtR@J ~ tbDhAAi6 ~ u SloDC4 (doOl
on some species and an open season. Nc
reply was received from the Butte club
but the Anacond club petitioned for O
closed season. 1t is the first time in the
history Of the state that such action has
been taken.
Reports received by the commission
from ranchers and farm machinery mer
are to the effect that the hatch in the
wet spring has been almost a total fall
ure. Other reports place the hatch at &c
to 25 per cent Of normal. Federal game
officials have made similar reports.
Because of continuous complaints
reaching the commission regarding al
legged depredations Of Chinese pheasants
and Hungarian partridges and their al
legged raids on gardens and grain fields,
the commission instructed Game Warden
Hill to mike a personal inspection OF
fields alleged to have been damaged and
report his findings to the board at the
next meeting.
Complaint was made by farmers near
Choteau and an article published in a
Choteau paper declaring that the Hun
garians are SO numerous that they beat
down the wheat when they alight in a
field and thresh out the kernels with
their wings when flying low"
Deputy Allen It. Holmes investigated
the complaint I'M reported that instead
Of eating vegetables, Chinese pheasants
eat bugs and worms that attack veg
etables.

had played lugubriously TO her across q
waste OF bare tables.
To-day was the last day of the month and
therefore, OF the orchestra. Rosamund care
fully donned her one black evening dress
as for a ceremonious farewell. She envied
the musicians, who were going, of course,
somewhere bright and cheerful, and she
dreaded to think Of all the dinners she
would have to eat, or pretend to eat, in
silence.
When she entered the restaurant she saw
at once that there was one place laid at a
table the farthest possible from hers. Rosa.
mund sternly refused to be optimistic. II
could, OF course, be no one but some ell
DERBY person with a dull disease-strange
that she had missed the arrival.
The orchestra played a rather dismal
intermezzo, or it seemed dismal to Rosa
mund, decorously slipping soup that she
didn't really want and feeling that the
lonely waiter looked contemptuous and the
two men playing disdainful.
She studied the pattern of the table cloth
with much circumspection; when she did
lift her eyes It was to see the young man
seated solitary at that far distant table,
also intent on the flowers In the damask.
Rosamund was so surprised that she
flushed she couldn't remember when she
had felt her cheeks hot before. 1t was o
queer sensation.

lady on-his wife, OF course; and, OF
course, nothing to do with her, Rosamund
Fairfax.
There was nothing to do but to examine
the table cloth again.
Which she did, with great thoroughness
The bored waiter carried them each in
turn fish, outlets, souffle, walking with slow
steps down the long, empty room from one
table to another.
Rosamund resisted looking at her distant
companion as long as possible, but over
her lonely pear she could not resist o
quick look.
He was grinning-that was the only WORD
for it-not smiling, but grinning.
Such a delightful grin.
Isn't this awful?" he said, cheerfully
II mean for you"
Gus, rather-funny," she answered, and
thought her own voice sounded stranger
than his.
She had meant this remark to be quite
noncommittal, but evidently the young mar

my coffee at your table?" he suggested
hopefully.
81 don't take coffee" said Rosamund In q
tone or which Miss Brett would have thor.
oughly approved.
."But | do. Heaps. Aren't you going tc
take pity on me?"
The orchestra was staring; the walter
was staring. Rosamund rose to the mo
ment and said in quite a woman of the
world fashion, "Of course. shall be de,

You see she was quite out of date in thest
things, and though she had seen modern
manners she was incapable Of copying
them.
The young man crossed the room will

sudden inspiration, dashed into a gay fol
trot.
That's better" remarked the young maj
with satisfaction.
Rosamund did not know quite what h
referred to-the music, she supposed.
The waiter seemed suddenly to becom,

much difference to Rosamund whether her
ambient was lively or dull, seeing that she
was never away from her invalid employer
aud never spoke to any one but the Few
cronies of her W age and disability that
lady tolerated.
Rosamund had been at lie Sporting" for
four months and never danced, nor played
tennis, nor bathed, nor dressed well, nor
been about" so you might have supposed
that she would not have cared If the place
was empty or full; but then, there had
been people to watch, a certain stream OF
life, a certain movement and animation
and flowers and pretty frocks to look at
and the sun. And throughout the winter
there would be nothing of any Of this
only rows of shut shops, closed hotels, and
a few caprieious invalids wandering about
to enjoy the famous air that Miss Brett
had, unfortunately, found so peculiarly to
her taste.
How charming, by contrast, seemed the
original plan of a return to the coy nat In
kensington where Miss Brett usually made
herself so comfortable during the winter

fruit and cigarets, with n flourish.
Rosamund's table, as if by magic, was

Never before had she been given grapes

Rosamund, who liked most people, did
not like her-no, not at all.
The man was younger, about Rosamund's
age, and brown and blonde and big.
ROsamund liked him. Now, though ii
seems unlikely, Rosamund was very diff
cult In the matter of young men. She was
ny no means disposed 10 admire all the
specimens she had observed, nor to envy
other girls many of their admirers. and ii
had not troubled her very much that she
had escaped masculine attention, because,
being such a strange little person, she had
her ideals.
She. who had never known realities, could
afford to revel In choice dreams.
And now, as she watched this young man
who followed the charming lady rather as
