FOREST AND STREAM 
Nov. 16, 1912 
Smith Gun Cli'b. 
Newark, N. J., Nov. 9.—Those who would not 
substitute clay for feathers kept down attendance here 
to-day, but good sport was the portion of those who 
stayed. Sam Thornton hefted and then lifted first gold 
by separating 42 fliers from the atmospheric molecules, 
while eight others blended too successfully into the 
luminous particles and went their way unbroken. J. 
Baldwin got 40 out of 50. Sweeps made considerable 
joy for all and profit for some—mostly Brother Shanley. 
The scores: 
B. M. Shanley, Jr., 20, 20, 21, 17, 15, 36; E. Robin¬ 
son, 9, 11, 5; J. Baldwin, IS. 24, 13, 18, 24. 40; William 
Kussmaul, 7, 11, 11, 19. 27: Dr. Moeller, 13, 11. 10, 20, 15, 
26; T. Pryor, 15, 9, 31; S. G. Francisco, 15, 14, 19, 29; 
J. H. Francisco, 20, 20, 28; John Erb, 11, 30; F. Apgar, 
11. 20, 37; Sam Thornton, 16, 22 42; C. Von Lengerke,

HAUNTERS OF THE ERMINE WAY. 
BY ROBERT PAGE LINCOLN. 
The woods lay silent— deep, endless silence 
such as is only found in the dim solitudes; in 
fact, the stillness was so deep that it brooded on 
the brink of an indefinite melancholy monotony 
that seemed to permeate everything in the realm 
of nature. The day was drowsed away on. the 
mothering breast of the earth, sleepy and tired. 
The huge trees rose on every side and on the 
branches yet remained evidence of the great snow 
storm that had been raging the previous night. 
I could see through the trees the fields lying out¬ 
spread in their spotless grandeur far westward 
till they met a wood. Here and there tufts of 
grass jutted through the ermine and shivered 
when the crisp west wind bore down upon them 
and was lost among the shadows of the wood. 
I stood motionless with alert senses beside a 
tall white oak. Though the day was bitter cold 
I felt not the chill, for I was clad in woolens 
and the high hunting boots were strapped tight 
about the ankles. My bare hands were now warm 
—a vigorous exercise having sent the blood down 
to the blue finger nails. A drowsiness possessed 
me, but it was only that keen exhilaration that 
comes after traveling many miles in the snow. 
Suddenly a black-capped chicadee darted through 
the air, seemingly from the unknown, and alight¬ 
ing on a dead limb, sent forth his cheery call to 
wake the silence that enwrapped the scene. Some¬ 
how, I cannot well tell why, I felt that something 
was about to occur, and 1 stood there waiting 
with eyes glancing into every covert. And then 
it happened. Through the trees I could discern 
a fluffy brown object making its way over the 
snow. It paused every now and then to peer 
into the depths of the shadows, as though in 
fear, and then with renewed confidence set out 
to brave the clutch of the loose snow. It was 
a muskrat that had left his home in the reeded 
marsh, curious to know what there was to see 
in the great unknown that stretched before him 
on every side. He did not see me and I did not 
move, for I was busy wondering at the queer¬ 
ness at seeing this little amphibious creature 
braving the woodland snowdrifts so far from his 
environments. Simple as it was, it impressed it¬ 
self upon my mind as a mystery to be solved. 
What would he do, and where, in case he knew,
