and yelled at him to for heaven’s sake get 
the—out of there! 
“Biff” got and sat down away off look¬ 
ing at me reproachfully, but the rank odor 
of the perfumery the skunk had spilled 
hung over the place like a pall and spoiled 
my whole afternoon. To think my rabbit- 
dog who had shown so much promise had 
deteriorated into a pole-cat-pointer! 
When “Biff” got within scent I knew he’d 
been chumming with a skunk! 
Just then Ike hallooed and I made him 
out sitting on a fence against the skyline 
on top of the hill a.id answered. He called 
back it was time to start home and I 
mozied up toward him with my disgraced 
“Biff” following at a respectful distance. 
When I reached Ike I saw a big fat rabbit 
across the fence beside him. 
“Git any?” he asks. 
“None worth mentionin’,” says I. 
“There must be a skunk around here," 
says Ike sniffing. 
An honest confession is good for the 
soul, so I told Ike the truth. Then he 
ho-hoed and haw-hawed until I thought 
he’d bust a blood-vessel—and I hoped he 
would. Poor “Biff” sat off at a distance 
as if he didn’t have a friend in the world. 
Even “Heck” wouldn’t associate with him. 
After a few minutes we started home¬ 
ward and had gone only a few steps when 
Ike grabbed his dog and pointed at a log 
about 100 feet ahead. 
“Well, wot is it?” says I. 
“Rabbit!” says Ike; “see his head stickin’ 
up from behind that log?” 
EBONY “LIBRARY” KNIFE 
Cut is exact size 
An ideal knife for business or professional men—no $ 2.00 razor ever had 
better temper. 
It’s against my principles to shoot at a 
rabbit sitting, but I did it to please Ike.

“Yep!” says I for there was the rabbit 
sure enough; “go ahead and shoot ’im, 
Ike!” 
“Naw,” says Ike, “I want } r ou to shoot 
’im, Newt. I’ve shot one and you haven’t, 
so blaze away—it would be too bad for you 
to go home without a rabbit, old pal. Let 
him have it!” 
“But I don’t like to shoot a rabbit set- 
tin’,” says I true to my principles.
