rested after that long pull. Finally he 
pushed over to sit with us a while for 
our day was almost done. 
T HE sun was sinking and with ic 
the wind. Rifts torn in the clout! 
blanket showed clear patches of 
blue. For a moment, the sun burst 
through above the western hills and 
tinted the bay with sudden brilliance. 
Then the curtain shut down again. 
Dying gusts rattled the dry sedge and 
danced away in a wake of rough water. 
High up, three ducks swept over, com- 
ing in from the distant ocean. We 
watched them drowsily; even our 
covetousness was dulled by long expo- 
sure. 
Just as Captain Jackson decided to 
gather his decoys, our last shot came. 
Howard showed us three incoming 
i specks. They decoyed beautifully, 
ilaning down in a sweeping circle. Over 
the edge of my box, showed one ex- 
I tended dusky shape followed by two 
thickset, lighter forms. “Blackduck 
and two redheads,” muttered Howard. 
On they came, and the flash of two 
fiery chestnut heads confirmed his 
words. At the outer decoys, the black- 
duck took warning from some furtive 
instinct and turned away. The pair set 
their wings, then banked up to follow. 
“Now!” came a cry, and one gun 
cracked on my right. Nothing dropped! 
As I rose, the three winged madly 
climbing skyward. One redhead tum- 
bled off my sights when another gun 
crashed. Hastily, I snapped at the 
other and missed. Two reports rang 
and it crumpled down. I fired my last 
despairing shot at the escaping black- 
duck; but it flickered away, tail turned 
and full speed ahead. Sadly I watched 
it fade into distance and broke my gun. 
Then my eyes fell on five great, feath- 
ered bodies stretched at my feet. Mis- 
chance could not spoil the hallowed 
memory of that day. 
Level rays of the setting sun launched 
across the bay and painted the clouds 
into rosy billows picked out with laven- 
der shadows. Its crimson disc sank 
behind the purple hills. A beam 
winked from the lighthouse and marked 
that day’s close with watchful eye. We 
slipped away into gathering shadows 
and the fading glory of a winter sunset

ON THE RIVIERA 
(continued from page 635) 
The largest and most famous bridge 
is the Rialto over the Grand Canal. It 
is quite steep, and like other bridges 
the ascent and descent in crossing is by 
means of steps. It is built of stone, and 
on either side of the passageway there 
are small stores or booths. It has a 
span of nearly a hundred feet, and com- 
mands a fine view, either way, of the 
beautiful palaces and exquisite edifices 
along the canal. The bridge itself is 
rather commonplace and hardly merits 
the somewhat extravagant enconiums 
sometimes expressed concerning it. 
The industries of Venice are quite 
diversified. Venitian glass and Veni-
