All In A Day

MARK HELLINGER

We have a certain Broad
wayite among us who loves
to boast of his ability to
hunt big game. Nobody ever
saw him shoot anything, but
he does disappear from the
city during the hunting sea-
son. And when he comes
back with tales Of having
bowled over huge animals
with a single shot, there is
none Of us who can argue
with him.
About a week ago, he went
along on a hunting party IN
which there were two other
Broadwayites Of his acqualnt'
ance. It was obvious that ne
had boosted so loudly and so
long that he couldn't help HIM
self. Eventually, they all de-
parted together.
They headed, as I understand
1t, for a section Of Pennsylvania
where bear can still be found.

and less about game laws, 50

are correct.
Arrived at their destination,
the boasting BroadWayite went
into action Immediately. He aS-
sured the guides and the rest of
the party that he'd knock off q
bear or die in the attempt.
I'm probably the best hunter
that ever hit these parts" he as
sured the party. "Just you
watch and see what happens"
The two other Broadwayites
hadn't the slightest in ention OF
doing any shooting. They were
IN this thing for the fun Of 1t,
and to find out If their pal really
had any class in this hunting
business. So they merely sat
around the cabin all day, played
pinochle and drank rye.
1t Seemed Easy
On the fourth afternoon, just
as it was growing dark, the
Boosting gentleman came upon a
bear. It was obvious that the
bear hadn't seen him. He raised
his gun, took careful aim Ind
fired. The bear toppled over.
without stopping to investi'
gate, our hero raced back to the
camp. Arriving. he sank to the
floor as the other members Of
the party gathered around.

It was too dark to look
