About five o* clock thiLe afternoon H. W,-Hensliaw 
‘ ! 
We see two 
Deer in the 
^r^^ pasture 
and later in 
the door-yard 
of the 
farm-house 
and I were strolling along the roadway that winds through 
our berry pasture when I suddenly caught sight of a Deer. 
It was in an opening among some blueberry bushes within 
thirty yards of us. A moment later another and larger 
one appeared, close to the first. Both animals looked at 
us intently but without showing fear. Presently they 
moved slowly on and were lost to sight among the bushes. 
We took the road back and,as we seared the pond,saw them 
again on the edge of the bushy swamp. This they soon 
entered,'‘^Thinking they would remain there, we followed 
the road across the swamp. When we reached the field we 
were greatly surprised to see the Deer standing together 
near the bars on the further side. As we showed our¬ 
selves to them, they walked quietly through the gap into 
the road. After standing there for a moment, they trotted 
up the drivev^ay to the old farmhouse, stopping directly 
in front of the front door. Here they remained motion¬ 
less, side by side, for fully a minute, their ears 
pointed forward, regarding with apparent suspicion a large 
G-ray Squirrel that was sitting in the middle of the lawn. 
Finally, they turned back, trotted down the grassy 
slope and up the road to Lawrence's Field. Pausing for a 
moment, they next sailed, one close after the other, 
the larger one leading, over the sbone wall into the field 
across which they rambled, picking somev/hat indifferently 
at the clover heads.
