This Gun 
automatic 
stock and 
represents wonderful value for the sportsman wishing a moderate priced field gun—in fact it is ihe lowest priced 
ejector on the market. It has the time-tried, true-shooting “Remington Steel” blued barrels, checkered walnut 
fore-end and treble locked action.

that has deterred the countless people who 
would seek pleasure around the bay every sum¬ 
mer from turning their eyes that way. The 
people on the bay have lost far more than they 
have gained through their failure to curb the 
infamous captains, while the wonderful seaman- 
! ship of some of them which would long ago 
: have attracted yachtsmen to those waters, has 
been buried. A little love of fair play, a strict 
regard for the rights of the unfortunates at the 
windlass, and one may yet hope to see the bay 
craft “ornamented from the heart’’ and the 
seamen take their places among the down 
easters, in good fame. Lloyd’s little scrolls 
seem to indicate that the Chesapeake region is 
at last coming into its own. 
Rusk and I wandered back and forth from 
the ship yard to the river bridge. With some 
our appearance excited a bit of envy because of 
the good time we had been having for a month 
on the waters. Others saw in us objects of 
derision, kind of water tramps, since our boat 
was not an object of beauty. The bold skippers 
of the launch Marguerite especially jeered our 
little craft, because it was “squat” and “homely” 
and seemed to have been worn and torn by its 
adventures, into a thing to be despised. Seeing 
our own boat so run down, we took a look at 
; the dainty Marguerite, and at the first glance 
Rusk snorted: 
“Why,” said he, “they’ve got letters painted 
in their combing, so they can tell which way 
to turn the wheel—to port or to sta’board! 
Huh!” 
It was really funny, after we had come up¬ 
ward of 200 miles through the broads and 
narrows of big water, to be jeered for our boat’s 
appearance—and Rusk had been to Florida and 
back in it—4,000 miles in all, at least. But the 
jeering showed us, that after all was said, we 
were fairly out of the bay, and that the trip was 
at an end. We figured up our expenses, gaso¬ 
lene and all, and they amounted to less than 
$3 a week apiece. 
I reluctantly packed my suitcase, gathered up 
camera, grip and whatnot, and took a midnight 
|l train for New York. I had had a beautiful trip 
into unknown waters, and the salt water ex- 
perience was delightful beyond my dreams.

I-- 
KINGFISHERS AS WEATHERCOCKS. 
There is a very quaint and old world super¬ 
stition in connection with the kingfisher, which 
I fancy, still obtains here and there in remote 
parts of the countryside. The superstition is 
| this: That if a stuffed or dried kingfisher be 
suspended by a thread from the beam or ceiling 
of a room its breast will always turn in the direc¬ 
tion of the prevailing wind. 
How the notion first arose and how, in the 
light of common sense and inquiry, it has been 
so long perpetuated it is hard to say; but it has 
long existed, and still exists. I have a clear 
recollection as a youngster of going into a humble 
cottage in the shires and seeing a stuffed king¬ 
fisher thus suspended as a weather vane.—New
