Stevens single - barrel gun, 
Model 107. Compressed 
forged steel barrel, full 
choke, automatic elector. 
Made in 12, 16, 20, 28 and 
.410- gauge. 
It takes 
more than 
just skill 
It takes skill and an accurate fire¬ 
arm. And that’s why for 59 years 
Stevens, first and last, has made a 
religion of accuracy. 
Not accuracy of the moment—but 
accuracy that endures—lifetime ac¬ 
curacy. 
For rifling Stevens uses a special 
process—at each pass the cutter 
shaves away less than the thirtieth 
of a thousandth part of an inch. 
Accurate. 
And—rifle or shotgun—a Stevens 
is strong and husky. 
A glance at any Stevens shotgun 
shows that. Barrel and lug all one 
piece of solid steel; top lever and bolt 
in action the same. 
They last —these Stevens rifles 
and shotguns. 
Finally—the prices. Little short 
of amazing are the Stevens prices.

(Continued from page 639) 
evidently well bred of good stock. He 
was broken on grouse, pinnated, ruffed 
and sharp-tail, and was soon at home 
with our native mountain grouse and 
spruce partridge. 
When he arrived in Bozeman I went 
to the express office for him in a light 
spring wagon and stopped before the 
door. Entering the office I saw the 
dog chained to his crate at the back 
of the room. He had seen me alight 
from the wagon, and as I walked to¬ 
ward him he wagged his tail vigorously 
and danced on his forefeet. I did not 
know his name, but said, “Hello, 
Sport,” and he seemed delighted. After¬ 
ward I learned that Sport was his 
name. As soon as I unchained him he 
made a bee-line for the wagon and 
jumped in. From that hour we were 
old acquaintances and close friends. 
He was several years of age and old 
enough to be steady, staunch and re¬ 
liable in the field, and a jolly, compan¬ 
ionable dog. He all learned to love 
him. 
MAX 
“ll/rAX” was a Llewellen setter, born 
and bred in Kentucky from im¬ 
ported parentage. He was an unusu¬ 
ally handsome dog, black and white, 
evenly marked and ticked, but with no 
tan. He was less than a year old when 
I got him, but was well grown and 
eventually became quite a large dog. 
He had been carefully broken on quail 
in Kentucky, but he was soon on fa¬ 
miliar terms with mountain grouse. 
A few months before the advent of 
Max I lost, by a strange fatality, my 
three dogs, Flips, Minx and Sport, all 
of whom succumbed to pneumonia in its 
worst form; also with three house and 
stable cats. They all now lie buried in a 
row in the garden near the road fence, 
their graves overgrown with myrtle and 
dog roses. Soon after this bereavement, 
in 1909, I was transferred from the 
Bozeman station to the Federal Station 
at Tupelo, Mississippi. Max was here in¬ 
troduced to his first love and became 
renowned as a wonderful dog on quail, 
though there was nothing wonderful 
about it, as he had been trained by a 
pastmaster in Kentucky; and added to 
this was an unusual amount of bird 
sense, with a congenital instinct and 
intelligence. He was very companion¬ 
able, and everyone was fond of Max, 
especially the children, for there was 
scarcely a child in town who did not 
love him. 
Very often family parties would re¬ 
sort to the hatchery grounds for a 
picnic supper, al fresco, and Max was 
always on the lookout for them, es¬ 
pecially by the time they were finish¬ 
ing their repast, when they took great 
delight in tossing him bits of meat, 
cake, or what not, on the fly, which he
