A NOT UNUSUAL HEART SHOT. 



B. and I were hunting deer some years 

 ago near French river. While returning 

 to camp one evening, I shot a rabbit, and 

 was carrying it, walking a little behind my 

 friend. Suddenly B.'s rifle went to his 

 shoulder, and I saw a large buck standing 

 about 6o yards in front of us. As my com- 

 panion was a good shot, I remained mo- 

 tionless, feeling sure it was his meat. At 

 the crack of the rifle the deer started, his 

 first jump taking him out of sight. "I got 

 him!" cried B., "I shot him through the 

 heart." "Are you sure?" I asked. "Yes," 

 he said, "I had a good bead on him." We 

 went to where the buck had been standing 

 and found his trail, but no blood. After 

 beating about awhile B. cried, "Here is 

 blood !" and so there was, though but little. 

 We followed the blood stain, which grew 

 plainer at every step. Presently we came 

 to the spot where I shot the rabbit, and it 

 dawned on us that we had been following 

 our own back trail by the rabbit's blood. 

 Returning to the place where we saw the 

 deer, we found B.'s bullet embedded in a 

 tree. B. seldom speaks of a heart shot 

 since then ; but when he does, the boys 

 laugh.
