feathery. Then I made out the Gordon, 
standing guard over seven mallards 
that she had retrieved and brought to 
the bank as fast as I had killed them. 
And all this had been done without a 
word from me. Intelligence? The dog 
showed more than the man on that oc¬ 
casion. Nor is that kind of experience 
with a good dog exceptional. 
A hunter is known to me who sold an 
English setter that he had had for five 
yeai s. The purchaser lived in a town 
the same state, but seventy-three 
in 
miles away. The dog went by express. 
Three days later the seller had word 
from the buyer that the dog had es¬ 
caped; four days after the sale, the dog 
was in his master’s yard. I can’t tell 
you how the dog knew the way home. 
But he got there. And the owner, 
whose heart had been sore over the sell¬ 
ing business, made an arrangement to 
cancel the sale. His decision was wise. 
If a hunter may be permitted to moral¬ 
ize, I would say, Don’t sell your favorite 
dog any more than you would sell your 
favorite child.

long slender legs and the light buff 
and white under parts of the body. To 
get a view of the white patch was more 
difficult because on close approach he 
hopped gently away and even went 
once around the bush without showing 
bhe patch. Evidently the patch is only 
shown during a quick and startled run. 
With more urging he ran about 100 feet 
and showed the white patch several 
times. The movement was slow enough 
so that the skin could be seen to move, 
but, unfortunately, a bush intercepted 
my view and prevented my taking a 
photograph. After many false starts 
and much maneuvering, I finally risked 
giving him a real scare and snapped 
him in full flight with the white patch 
flaunting its defiant signal. Frightened 
or disgusted by these harmless but un¬ 
usual happenings, he and his mate left 
the little valley and were seen no more. 
The habitat of the antelope jack is 
m the broad open spaces of the valleys 
of southern Arizona. I have seen them 
from the eastern border of San Pedro 
Valley west to Ajo and from Gila River
