to equal them. PRICE, PER BOX,

of woodcraft. Just at dusk one even- 
ing at the edge of a beautiful forest, the 
writer came unseen upon a buck and a 
doe gazing longingly into a farmer’s 
clearing. He had long been without 
fresh meat, for the family with whom 
he boarded were pioneer settlers and far 
from town. He was doubly anxious to 
“make good” therefore, first because of 
this fact, second, because, although he 
had worn out several perfectly good pairs 
of hunting boots, he had never yet 
brought home any venison. He aimed 
carefully for the exposed shoulder and 
let go. At the shot the buck reared 
and fell over sideways into an old elm top. 
With a shout the hunter hurried forward 
and had almost reached the stunned ani- 
mal when with a bound the buck regained 
his feet and, to the amazement of the 
young sportsman, galloped off in long 
leaps. The rifle was at length raised, 
but a dull click was the only response 
to the trigger pull ; no cartridge had been 
pumped into the empty chamber after the 
first shot. This lesson was keenly im- 
pressed and probably later saved the 
writer’s life, for bucks do not always 
bound away when wounded. The next 
time the rifle was ready. A buck and 
two does stood in open hardwood on an 
old, deeply-worn runway toward which 
a bevy of partridges had been driven. 
Quickly changing from bird shot to buck- 
shot, the hunter let drive at the buck. 
Immediately the animal started down 
the runway toward the swamp on the 
run, while the does took the opposite di- 
rection and the writer mentally recorded 
his score a miss. This time, however, 
he placed a fresh cartridge in the cham- 
ber before advancing. An examination 
of saplings on either side of the spot 
where the buck had stood showed clearly 
that the animal must have been hit. Just 
as the examination was concluded a rust- 
ling sound in the leaves down the trail 
announced the hurried approach of some- 
thing, and the writer gazed upon an 
enraged deer coming swiftly forward, 
antlers lowered, neck bristling and eyes 
flashing fire. No statue ever stood more 
immobile than the author for a second 
of time. Then when the brute was within 
ten or twelve feet the shotgun barked, — 
over the deer’s head it is true, in fact at 
a distance of twenty paces the buckshot 
struck a tree fully thirty feet above 
ground, but the deer was stopped. His 
momentum was sufficient to plow up leaf 
mold in narrow furrows with his sharp 
fore feet. He sat down on his haunches, 
then wheeled and made off, and the effi- 
cient training of a previous lesson in 
the hunter’s experience had been demon- 
strated in a highly satisfactory manner. 
The ethics of true sportsmanship require 
that continuous caution be exercised.
