S tands there one picture of days 
afield, framed in the dazzling gold 
of memory’s eye, that time cannot 
tarnish nor the flight of years turn dim? 
Then listen to the gem of my collection, 
hung on the eye line of my gallery. Pic- 
ture a day in early November, the skj 
as blue and the air as clear as any in 
the Indian’s summer, a day of painted 
shadows; the hills and dales beckoning 
an invitation to the glories of their leaf 
carpeted aisles where man might hold 
communion with nature’s visible forms — 
and to a day with dog and gun. Natural- 
ly Bess led the way, and that way to her 
was to the cover that held the wily old 
partridge. I never saw her hunt the 
ground so closely back and forth, inves- 
tigating every suspicious trail. She 
seemed conscious that it was to be now 
or never, as the open season was so 
nearly gone. 
We crossed the first birch cover into 
the chestnut grove, down through the 
orchard, back onto the old road bordering 
Mt. Rat, and it seemed as if we were 
doomed to failure Bess came out into 
the road, put her nose into my hand as 
if to gain some little encouragement from 
my touch, then started away toward the 
old apple tree in the wall corner, the last 
bit of cover between us and the river. 
And then the end came — a flashing point, 
a whirr of husky wings, a sharp report, 
and a grouse lay bouncing, drumming his 
last long roll on the old wood road. Bess 
was there almost as soon as the bird 
fell, and as she came to me I saw the 
white w'ing. We sat side by side, and 
while she nosed I stroked the beautiful 
feathers. Could I have given him back 
life again it would have been done. But 
Bess willed it otherwise; taking the bird 
from my hand, what was my amazement 
to see her start back with him toward 
the old apple tree and the stone wall 
corner, and begin scratching and digging 
in the leaves. 
Then placing the old drummer LAre- 
fully in the grave she had made, she 
Bess whirled and stiffened in a point
