on the shore and that duck kept on in- 
dustriously feeding, paying no more at- 
tention to me than if I had never existed. 
At last, in desperation, I threw the 
“dead” cartridge at it, and still it did not 
fly. I finally walked away and left that 
“witch” duck feeding aw'ay as content- 
edly as if nothing had happened. I have 
never attempted to explain the very 
peculiar actions of this “wild duck,” but 
have simply related the event just ex- 
actly as it occurred. Perhaps some other 
duck shooter has had a similar experi- 
ence.

A S I reached the great straw stack 
near the house I turned to gaze once 
more on that wonderful duck shooter’s 
Paradise, where for many days I had 
enjoyed such sport as seldom falls to the 
lot of mortal man. The autumn sun, like 
a great burnished ball of copper, hung 
very low in the west, where great masses 
of fleecy coulds were faintly tinted with 
the vivid red and gold and purple yet to 
I come, giving promise of a gorgeous sun- 
I set. Dark shifting shadows lay upon 
[ the ruffled surface of the lake, while 
I under the pressure of the brisk north 
i wind the rushes of the great marsh rip- 
I pled in graceful, undulating billows. 
The shades of the coming night were 
drawing down and already the evening 
: flight was setting in. Look in any direc- 
I tion you would, far as the eye could see, 
great flocks of geese and ducks were in 
the air, coming to the marsh to roost ; 
the geese in waving lines, the ducks in 
ever-changing formation. Soon they 
would settle on the lakes and ponds in 
countless thousands. 
One long, last look and I resolutely 
I turned my face and walking around the 
great stack, there forever passed from 
my sight the fairest duck country it has 
ever been my luck to look upon. I know 
that the major part of that great marsli 
has been drained and placed under cul- 
tivation, but to me it will always remain 
the beautiful picture I saw at svtnset on 
that delightful November day more than 
forty years ago. 
TURKEY SHOOTING 
MATCHES 
{Contimied from page 24) 
though there was a great deal of luck 
connected with the game, and the man 
who had the closest-shooting gun had 
the best chance of winning. Even with 
mathematics in his favor, however, this 
shooter did not always win, because it 
was quite often found that a man would 
win a bird with a block that contained 
only two or three shot, one of which was 
exactly in the center of the X. 
Live-pigeon shooting was also some- 
times introduced at turkey shoots, but 
this form of sport never became very 
popular on account of the unavoidable 
expense. Consequently the block method 
was the most common way until clay- 
bird shooting came into common use, 
since which time a majority, of the tur- 
key shoots have been held at the traps. 
Many a gun club that cannot keep up 
interest in the usual weekly or monthly 
shoots has little trouble to get the crowd
