4 THE MOOR AND THE LOCH. 



Not many years ago there was always a tempting array 

 of shooting-quarters advertised in February and March. At 

 present, all the most desirable quarters are secured before 

 coming into the market at all. The man of fortune who 

 comes down to the North in early spring, reasonably confident 

 of finding a really good shooting, has often to return sadly 

 disappointed : there are none to be had for love or money.
