COUSIN JOE LE DUC 
(Continued from page 73) 
Den somebodee say, “Let’s go home.” 
Den everybodeé say, “Let’s go home.” 
So we start for home one hondred mile 
wit’out one duck. Nobodee talk vaire 
much but Joe LeDuc. Joe say, perhaps 
if she have his gun point at dat revair 
w’en she fall down maybe she get one 
duck anyway. 
Well, w’en we are jus’ about home 
Joe LeDuc turn to MackDonald an’ he 
say, ‘MackDonald, how many duck do 
I shoot today?” 
MackDonald say, “Well, Joe, I guess 
you don’t shoot any duck today.” 
Den Joe say, ‘“MackDonald, how 
many duck do Louie shoot today?” 
An’ MackDonald he say, “Well, I 
guess Louie don’t shoot any duck today 
too.” 
Den Joe say, “MackDonald, den I 
shoot jus’ as many duck as Louie to- 
day, es et not so?” 
_ An’ MackDonald say, “Yes, dat mus’ 
be so.” 
“Well, den, I shall be vaire please’ to 
accept does twenty dollaire bet dat you 
have in your pocket,” say Joe. 
MackDonald look scaire but vaire 
soon he take dat money an’ han’ over 
to Joe LeDuc. Me, I get mad but w’at 
can I do? 
W’en we arrive home everybodee get 
out de car an’ start to pick up w’at 
dey own an’ go home. Joe LeDuc say 
to me, “Louie, you take de duck. I do 
not care for duck, me. I shoot only 
for de sport.” Den w’en she was few 
rod away she turn an’ yell at me, 
“Louie, do you want reeceipt for dat 
twenty dollaire?” 
I yell, “Go—” 
“Hey, you fellows, pile out here and 
get busy, the red-heads are coming in 
at the west side of the lake,” called 
one of the party who had been watch- 
ing for signs of the afternoon flight, 
and there was a scramble for guns, 
shells and waders. 
As I left camp Louie made just this 
one parting comment: “Ef dat Joe 
LeDuc ever go to shoot dose mallard 
duck again, I hope she will have mud 
in de end of his barrel.”
