AMERICAN GAME BIRDS 
By Chester A. Reed 
Is a book written especially for sportsmen as a concise guide 
to the identification of game birds to be found in this country. 
Over one hundred species of game birds are faithfully de¬ 
picted by the colored pictures, and the text gives considerable 
idea of their habits and tells where they are to be found at 
different seasons of the year. These illustrations are repro¬ 
duced from water-color paintings by the author, whose books 
on birds and flowers have had the largest sale of any ever 
published in this country. They are made by the best known 
process by one of the very first engraving houses in the 
country and the whole typography is such as is rarely seen 
in any book. The cover is a very attractive and unique one, 
a reproduction of leather made from the back of a boa con¬ 
strictor with set-in pictures of game birds. Price, 60 cents.

THE GREAT MULE 
DEER 
(continued from page 584) 
the top of a high ridge, covered with low 
mountain mahogany in some places, and 
in other spots strikingly bare. 
Up the ridge we started, when my com¬ 
panion, ahead, suddenly stopped. “Look 
below you,” he whispered, and pointed, 
I looked, and my heart stopped beating. 
Two monster bucks stood looking at us. 
They were not over two hundred yards 
away. I stood petrified, and then the 
guide whispered to me to shoot. 
As I lowered my rifle they began to 
run, quartering from me and up the hill 
and I began to shoot. 
One—two—three—four times I fired, 
and the deer kept on going. “Take aim. 
You haven’t hit the side hill,” said Scrap- 
saw aloud, and then I realized that I had 
been feverishly shooting m the general 
direction of the fleeing animals without 
any aim at all. Desperately I drew a fine 
bead on the broad side of the leading 
deer and pulled. At the report of the 
gun I saw the second animal jump 
straight in the air and fall. 
The first buck passed out of sight in 
the timber, and we ran to the fallen one. 
“Shot dead, right through the shoulders,’’ 
said the guide. “By Jingoes, I thought 
you had missed at first. I thought you 
were shooting at the one in the lead.” I 
do not know how the inspiration ever 
came to me to say, with becoming mod¬ 
esty, “I thought this one looked the 
larger.” 
Scrapsaw gazed at me narrowly, then 
slowly said, “Well, mabbe he was the 
biggest.” 
After cutting the deer’s throat, we 
climbed farther up the ridge and called to 
the Doctor and Hank. They had heard 
the shooting, and were listening for a 
call, and they soon answered. When they 
came up to us, we all walked and ran 
back to the spot where my buck lay, in, 
all his kingly state. 
The Doc is an old hunter. He stood, 
over the deer for a long time. 
“Well, sir,” he finally said, “it sure 
looks as big as a horse, lying there. Gee 
Whiz, Sam, that’s the biggest deer I 
ever saw. I didn’t think you could hit 
any kind of a deer. Did you aim for his 
shoulder?” 
“Yes,” I answered, “That’s the place 
everybody always said was the best place, 
to try for.” 
Then we had the big dispute of the 
day; I contended that the buck was an 
eight pointer, while the Doctor insisted 
that he was what is known in the lexicon 
of sportdom as a four-point buck, having 1 
only four points upon each side. Scrap- 1 
saw sided with the Doc, but he did say 
that it was a mighty fine deer. I don’t 
care anyway, for he really did have eight 
points, whatever you call him. 
We cut the deer in pieces then, and 
wearily “toted” him to camp. Arrived 
there we relieved him of head, hide anfl 
horns, and weighed the meat. Of meat 
there was two hundred and sixty-three 
pounds. (Honest.) 
Doctor A. made his kill early the next 
morning—a four pointer, a trifle smaller 
than mine. I was glad of this. Glad that
