and every movement of my legs seemed only to 
drive them further into the mud. 
Not wishing to take root in the succulence 
beneath me, or join in holy wedlock with fair 
Mistress Tibbits, in her exceedingly damp bridal 
chamber, I turned as on a pivot, as far as my 
body would twist, and threw my rod arm over 
the tree. With this purchase even, I could not 
lift my legs; so in desperation I locked the 
mouth of the net by turning the handle halt 
way round and placed it carefully on the log. 
Then I managed to embrace that old stick with 
a fervor that must have made Miss Tibbits 
blush. Up slowly came my boots, with groans 
and gurgles like a wornout well, and throwing- 
one clumsy leg over the tree, I climbed to its 
top, when, horror and damnation! my knee 
struck the net and over it went. Little could I 
portray the gloom that came crashing upon my 
spirit at that dire catastrophe—-“Varus, Varus, 
what have you done with my legions?” 1 
rescued the net. but, alas! it had nothing in it. 
I had lost my trophy and my soul cried out for 
a Myrra, to light my funeral pyre. Blind with 
chagrin, I sat astride that tree some weary mo¬ 
ments, and then the delicious deviltry of the 
thing struck a different vein and I laughed at 
my discomfiture and the freedom of my whilom 
captive. In future years, as time rolls on, I 
doubt not but that this little incident will be¬ 
come a rich and tender memory, fraught with 
the sweetest spirit of the chase—-he was mine, 
but still he lives—so let it pass, and we will on 
toward Lincoln. 
As once more I started forward, a red sun 
touched the hilltop, impaled upon the mighty 
pine spears, the bleeding heart of a dying day, 
and fantastic shadows crept among the verdant 
greens and set the bullfrogs croaking. And 
when that ball of fire sank below the crest the 
sky and clouds were suddenly bewitched with 
color, till the heavens from pole to pole blazed 
a marvelous enchantment. Into the hollows of 
the brook sparkling shafts of opal danced and 
played, and the tall cat-tails cut black chasms 
in its midst. 
Gently over the valley night stole quietly 
along, and as I turned to leave the stream a 
solitary sandpiper flew swiftly past and dropped 
upon the muddy bank below. There he stood 
upon his slender legs, bobbing up and down, the 
spirit of the swamp, and through the twilight 
rang his silvery angelus—twee! twee! twee! 
Black Ducks Breeding on Meadows of Barne- 
gat and Mannahawkin. 
Gunners say that there are thousands of 
blackducks about Barnegat and Mannahawkin 
bays this summer, and that thousands of nests 
can be found on the medows. This is com¬ 
paratively a new thing in recent years. It was 
noticed two years ago that a few blackducks 
stayed here during the breeding season. Last 
year the number increased; this year, so the 
gunners say, who are watching the birds, there 
has been a bigger increase still in their num¬ 
ber. 
Two conditions are mentioned as a possi¬ 
ble reason for this. One is that the great 
breeding grounds in Canada are being broken 
up by civilization. Wheat farms take the 
place of wild country, and the birds are scared 
away from the little lakes. The other is that 
there is no longer late spring shooting in this 
section, and the birds find they are unmolested 
as the spring comes on and stay here.
