ORTLEYS 
(concluded from page 635) 
Father was a man who made but little show 
of his emotions, but I could see a proud 
light in his eye whenever he looked at me, 
and I knew he was as pleased as I was. I 
heard Mike whisper to Jim Irons, who' 
was courting one of Miller’s daughters, 
“That boy of Henry’s can shoot like the 
very devil, and you ought to hear him play 
the fiddle, and he can play by ‘note’ too.” 
Dear old Mike, I was his favorite from 
that day; many a tip did he give me on 
where to shoot after that, and always to 
my advantage. — 
It was a strange fact, that while Mike 
and his brother Jake, were surrounded by 
shooters, and in the midst of myriads of 
game, I never knew either to fire a gun. 
This day finished our shooting and we 
sat late before the fire, while I listened to 
the men talk of storms and wrecks, and 
marvelous escapes from death at sea. Bill 
Miller told for me many of his wonderful 
shots at wild fowl. He was a very re¬ 
served man, and slow of speech, but a very 
interesting talker once you got him started. 
I was always glad when he joined our 
circle at the fireside. I have often re¬ 
gretted I did not keep a diary, for many of 
the talks by that broad fireplace have been 
well worth recording. 
After breakfast next morning, we began 
to make ready for our departure. Those 
good hearted people, how they did hate to 
see us go; but at last after a hearty hand¬ 
shake and goodbye all around, and many 
promises to return the following season, 
we were homeward bound. 
HINTS TO DUCK SHOOTERS 
HE right kind of duck weather is the 
wrong kind for any other hunting or 
outdoor activity. Pick a stormy day 
during the flight of the birds and you will 
find them on the move. 
In hunting on lakes or shores where 
there is plenty of wild grass, bullrush or 
cattails, the problem of material for a 
blind is solved. If not practical to build 
a blind on shore, one may be able to cover 
the water side of a boat by placing sticks 
in the mud around the end and one side 
of the boat, then using the rushes and 
grass to cover the stick framework. 
Be in the blind at dawn. 
If shooting over decoys, either natural 
or artificial, pace them about 20 yards from 
the blind, in a straight row or semicircle. 
Shoot as the birds alight in the decoy 
if you desire to wait for a flock to alight. 
The next best time is when they arise. In 
either case the heavy, hard feathers will 
be missed. 
If shooting from a blind without decoys, 
lead your bird. The distance of the lead 
comes from experience. Ducks travel from 
60 to 90 miles an hour. If you miss the 
first shot, the duck’s speed is only a con¬ 
jecture. 
The usual gun is a 12 gauge with barrels 
30 or 32 inches long. The right should be 
modified, the left full choke. Load with at 
least three and one-quarter drams of smoke¬ 
less powder and from 1^8 to rj 4 oz. of 
shot; opinions differ as to the best size— 
somewhere between fours and sevens. 
Don’t hesitate about giving wounded ducks 
an extra shot, to finish them.
