tears, a little hunger and a little sorrow? It is 
all of very little account to them, and so they 
lose in the fight against wild nature which is 
the peasant’s unending crusade; and the gorse, 
and the heather and the bramble that have 
neither heaven to lose nor souls to save creep 
in upon the little fields and surprise the enemy 
in his spiritual sleep. 
Toward evening I climbed a hill and looked 
abroad over the country of Connemara, as far 
as Joyce’s Country and Iar Connaught to the 
east, and as far as the sea to the north and 
west and south. Water everywhere! Down at 
the sea level one could see only hills; up on 
the hills one can see little besides water. From 
the Killaries to Galway Bay the sea runs in¬ 
land in every direction, its bays formed like 
trees, branching and branching into smaller 
bays and inlets. Among the hills, strung like 
turquoise necklaces about their throats, lay the 
lakes—not ten nor twenty, but hundreds. And 
over all the evening sun was shedding its soft 
light—especially on one little round hill, rug¬ 
gedly crowned, the sides of it ablaze with the 
great-belled Connemara heather, that reminded 
me strongly of St. Michael’s Mount, and of that 
other western land where also there are soli¬ 
tudes and wide seas; so that some verses in 
Davidson’s last volume came into my head, 
and rang in it until I was home again among 
the discontented fishermen. I will put them 
down here, so that there may be at least one 
pleasant page in my letter: 
St. Michael’s Mount, the tidal isle, 
In May with daffodils and lilies 
Is kirtled gorgeously awhile 
As ne’er another English hill is. 
About the precipices cling 
The rich renascence robes of spring. 
goId si l ver - nature’s gifts, 
1 he prodigal with both hands showers: 
(J not m patches, not in drifts 
®y.t. r °und and rou nd, a mount of flowers— 
Of lilies and of daffodils, 
The envy of all other hills. 
And on the lofty summit looms 
ihe castle; none could build or plan it 
The foursquare foliage springs and blooms, 
The piled elaborate flower of granite 
Inat not the sun can wither; no 
IS or any tempest overthrow.

The Hunter One-Trigger is the only perfect, practical, one trigger 
action ever devised. It cannot balk or double, it meets every requirement, 
and it overcomes all the familiar drawbacks of two trigger action. 
There is already an enormous demand for the new 20 Gauge Smith Gun
