HABITS, HAUNTS, AND ANECDOTES 



The lawyer craned his neck and 

 peered into every shadow but the right 

 one. Two or three rods below the 

 moose was a clump of bushes growing 

 out beyond the general shore line. The 

 lawyer finally singled this out as the 

 moose and opened fire. He was per- 

 fectly cool, and every one of his shots 

 went straight to the centre of the object 

 at which he was firing. 



Moose are notoriously slow to start 

 when alarmed, provided they have not 

 scented the hunter, and the one in ques- 

 tion stood motionless until the sports- 

 man had fired five shots at his inanimate 

 target and had but one cartridge left in 

 the magazine. Then the moose turned 

 to escape, and, as luck would have it, 

 dashed directly into the line of fire.
