MORNING IN THE BLIND. 
(Continued from page 747.) 
hunter who ki ows. The city sport, out after a 
big showing, may be disappointed with a meagre 
string of these fluffy little birds; but wait till 
he has them cooked! 
How we hated to leave, but we realized that the 
morning flight was about over, and the occasional 
single that would come in, at rare intervals dur¬ 
ing the middle of the day, would hardly be 
worth waiting for. So we piled our dozen birds 
and our guns in the bottom of the canoe, and 
after the decoys were captured, wound up, and 
bagged, we set out, with happy hearts, for the 
opposite shore. 
We arrived in time to join Searls and Dick, 
who were coming along the shore from up the 
creek. 
“How many?” shouted Searls, as soon as we 
were within speaking distance. “You two ought 
to have a hundred or more, judging from the 
racket you made. Most of them were so scared 
by the time they reached our side that they 
wouldn’t decoy worth a darn. We only got 
four. Dick got two—a blackhead and a whiffler. 
I got two blackheads; and then we both got a 
merganser.” 
We hadn’t many ducks, but they were a lot 
to us boys, and we were all very happy.

“Better Than a Novel for the Fisherman.” 
A Complete Science of Fly Fishing and Spinning 
By FRED G. SHAW, F. G. S. 
The 150 carefully selected plates and diagrams which intersperse the text of this ex¬ 
haustive treatise, coupled with Mr. Shaw’s experience as an angler, cannot fail to make it 
the most authoritative dissertation on dry and wet fly fishing yet published. It leaves noth¬ 
ing to be said and no part of the fisherman’s interest unsatisfied. Mr. Shaw expounds in the 
clearest possible language the whole science of casting and fly or minnow fishing. No 
reader who gives due attention to his study can fail to acquire a success which will be 
more than ample repayment for his trouble.

It Gets 
Them 
3 -in-One makes a 
trap spring quick 
and hold hard—it gets the pelt. 
3 -in-One prevents rusting, clogging, 
slow action. Also, the faintly delicate 
odor of 
3-in-One oil 
is very attractive to fur bearing ani¬ 
mals—seems to draw them better 
than bait. This is attested by ex¬ 
pert trappers who have tried it to 
their profit. 3 -in-One also keeps 
guns and knives fromrusting—makes / 
boots, belts and leather equipment 
soft, pliable. 
Don’t go trapping without 3-in-One ! Sold 
in sporting goods stores, hardware, drug ; 
and general stores: 1 oz. bottle, 10c; 3 oz., , 
25c; 8oz., (Vi pt.) 50c. Also in Non-Leak 
Handy Oil Can—just fits the hip pocket ; 
—3'/2 oz., 25c. If you cannot find , 
these cans with your dealer, we will 
send one by parcel post, full of 
3-in-One for 30c.

3-in-One and Dictionary of uses.
