D. B. CORNELL COMPANY 
GREAT BARRINGTON, MASS. 
one more day together and try for grouse 
on the ridges near Mount Eve. It was a 
fine Autumn morning and we were soon in 
the woods and had gone but a short dis¬ 
tance when John flushed a grouse and 
killed it. The hillside lay in ledges that ran 
parallel. I would walk near the rock wall 
of a ledge with John below. If he flushed 
a grouse it would give me a shot when 
crossing. Soon I heard a “quit” “quit,” and 
a grouse came running from John’s direc¬ 
tion. I shot at it running, missed it, shot 
at it on the wing and missed again. John 
soon killed another, then, from under my 
feet almost, one took wing, a straight away 
shot—I missed it. At the report another 
sprang up and I missed this one also. 
This completely “got my goat” and I was in 
full swing on the worst “hoodoo” day’s 
shooting of my whole lifetime. I simply 
could not hit anything. Just before noon, 
we came out of the woods into a little 
clearing that had been sown to buckwheat. 
In the center of this little field was a 
small rocky “knoll’’ about the size of a gar¬ 
den plot, overgrown with briers and bushes, 
I walked up on the little hill, when away 
went a grouse across the open for the 
woods beyond. I missed it with both bar¬ 
rels, and John killed it as it passed him 
going like the wind. We now sat down to 
lunch behind a stone wall in the sun; pres¬ 
ently we heard the “honking” of wild geese 
and cautiously looking over the wall, saw 
a flock of geese coming. On they came 
and passed over us, about fifty yards in the 
air. We gave them the four barrels, but 
we were only loaded with number six shot 
and while we could plainly hear the shot 
strike their feathers, it did them no harm 
except to' frighten them and make them 
mount higher. It now began to drizzle and 
we started for home. As we neared the 
house down a stone wall came a red squir¬ 
rel on a gallop. I said, “John, here comes 
my ‘meat’,” and I missed it with both bar¬ 
rels. We here entered a little clearing 
where trees had been cut and the brush left 
m little piles. John stepped on one of these 
brush heaps and his weight pressed a 
branch down on the neck of a rabbit 
underneath and held it as in a vise, and 
although it struggled hard it could not 
escape. John called out, “Come here Neil! 
here is something you can kill,” and as I 
came up, he leaped back and shot the rab¬ 
bit s head off. We were now home and 
how they did laugh at me. John had five 
grouse and a rabbit, while I was skunked. 
I could never account for my poor shoot¬ 
ing that day. With the chances I had I 
should have killed at least a dozen grouse. 
It took the “swelling” out of my head 
completely, and I was very glad that Than 
Knapp was not along with us. 
At last I was off for home. Wistfully 
rom the station platform, John watched 
be receding train, while I waved mv hand 
o him till the curve in the track held him 
rom view. Dear old John, ours was a 
•erfect friendship for over fifty years. 
Those hills and dales of Warwick, how I 
3 ved them, and how I counted on my re¬ 
urn to them from year to year; but they 
PPeal to me no longer and can never be 
ie same to me again, for my dear old 
nend has gone into the great beyond, 
will never grasp his dear hand or hear 
is loved voice again. I mourned for him 
5 ^ ay id mourned for Jonathan, for ours 
as a similar friendship.
