an he would tell me how they can be tricked into
pen or over fence just by headin' em thus an so"

was pinnin on her apron while Jake was talkin'
"You know says Mabel, ''Ive noticed you
two guys go to an awful lot of trouble to get a

years. Needlessly to say, he had
worked hard to get his stepup in

said in explaining his purchase
of a membership in the club.
At the Bob-o-Dell Club, for
that's its name, the guides have

make good with the guides. 1t
was difficult for John Marsh, a.
man who likes a well-ordered un-
derstanding about things, but he
made it. AS he unpacked he put
a bottle of bonded bourbon on
the table.
"Is that all you brought?"
asked Mitchell Parker. lively
blade who must be the life of
Ocean City summer as well as
winter. Mitchell was a guide at
the club last year-a sort of
guide-guest this year.
1--WE won't run out" said John
firmly. An optimist as well as a
good provider, John had brought
along a case of whisky and
case of shells.
For the next two days Josh
and Slick Bradford, the third
guide, were bringing John mes
sages from Mitch such as: Mitch
had gone in at noon and no
bottle was out. What was John
trying to do, win the bet?
John took it all in good spirit
and won on points before the
bout was over. The two got into
gin rummy duel and John
won $82.
1--WE played with some of the
biggest professional gamblers in
Baltimore" said Mitch, "and
never had that happen to me-"
But Johns hazing was nothing
to the one I got. Somehow or
other in the conviviality of that
first evening together, the guides
convinced me that there was a
night club for the uck-hunting
trade on the island. 7 wondered
why there was such insistance on
boots. Slick Bradford, who was
my friend, tried to get me to wear
waist-high waderS. But I wore
my borrowed three-quarter-
length boots. Mitch and Josh
poled me along in a rowboat. The
moon was full, the night was
oalmy. It was Venetian.

Josh. Mitch will pole the boat
