MARBLE’S game fi ETTER 
July, 1922) 
few seconds can be lost even in this sorH 
of hunting. But it is all in a daj-’s worklj 
Jack rabbits were numerous that day- 
and little rock bunnies and cottontails 
ambled noiselessly here and there. I ; 
could have shot many of them but saved j 
my shells for what I had come to the 
desert after. Jack rabbits were plentiful 
nearer home where they infested the 1 
farmer’s fields to such an extent that 
drives were made on the pests and thou- 
sands killed. Rabbit-tight fences are an 
absolute necessity in many places. 
Dusk was being ushered in as I bagged 
my last bird at the top of a large gully 
where the vegetation was abundant. She 
got up with a minimum amount of com- 
motion and I knew she was young. Aly 
surmise proved correct. 
For some time I had noticed that the , 
landscape was unknown to me. I could I 
not even see any hills which looked fa- | 
miliar although the spot where I knew 
camp was located was A'ciled in a deli- 
cate blue haze. The air was already 
cooling and it would not be long before 
genuine darkness set in. Something must 
be done and done in a hurry. 
Advancing to a high point, a magnifi- 
cent panorama of desert was spread out 
for my eyes to feast upon. I could see 
dimly in the fading light the numerous 
gullies breaking the earth’s contour. By 
shading my orbs somewhat I could make 
out in the distance what I instantly knew 
must be the bushy hill where I had shot 
my first hen in the morning. But what 
was it doing in that direction ! Surely, 
I thought, it must have moved during 
the day. Then I realized that I had been , 
going in the wrong direction. My bear- 
ings had become slightly twisted. 
After picking my way over gulches • 
and washes until my feet ached and were : 
blistered I found myself along the creek i 
leading to camp. The dog came run- I 
ning to meet me and as I drew near the ! 
house Jim strolled out, remarking that i 
he had his opinion of people who didn’t t 
know enough to come to meals. He had t 
a fine, hot supper awaiting me to which ' 
I did justice. 
He had hunted most of the day, killed ' 
five hens, two of them young', stoned a f 
rattlesnake to death after the serpent I 
had narrowly missed biting him, and 
seen a couple of coyotes sneaking off I 
through the brush. He had high praise I 
for the dog, which, he said, routed out 1 1 
all the game for miles around. This, of r 
course, was an c.xaggeration, hut the dog 0 
was unquestionalily a good one. c 
The next morning as wc were on our tl 
way to Twin Falls, Jim said to me: ji 
“There are more good hunting days t 
coming. We’ll go again some time.’’’ I: 
And I agreed we would. |ii
