Dear Shooting. 
SEVERAL years ago there lived in Illinois two 
families by the names of Crickley and Drake. 
There had always been a fierce rivalry between 
the two families, both in field and farm pursuits, 
which rivalry was further intensified when one 
afternoon Colonel Crickley, having followed a 
wounded buck for several hours, at last came up 
with him, and found old Drake and his sons cut- 
ting him up. This incident added fuel to the 
fire, and from that time there was nothing the 
two families did not do to annoy each other. 
They shot each other’s ducks in the river, pur- 
posely mistaking them for wild ones, and then by 
way of retaliation, commenced killing off each 
other’s pigs and calves. 
One evening Mr. Drake, the elder, was return- 
ing home with his “pocket full of rocks’ from 
Chicago, whither he had been to dispose of a load 
of grain. Sam Marston was with him on the 
wagon, and as they approached the grove which 
intervened between them and Colonel Crickley’s 
house, he observed to his companion: 
“What a beautiful mark Colonel Crickley’s old 
Roan is, over yonder!’ 
“Hang it!’ muttered old Drake, “so it is.” 
The horse was standing under some trees about 
twelve rods from the road. Involuntarily Drake 
stopped his team. He glanced furtively around, 
then with a queer smile the old hunter took up 
his rifle from the bottom of his wagon, and rais- 
ing it to his shoulder, drew a sight on the Col- 
onel’s horse. 
“Beautiful!” muttered Drake, lowering his rifle 
with the air of a man resisting a powerful temp- 
tation; “I could drop old Roan so easy.” 
“Shoot!” suggested Sam Marston, who loved 
fun in any shape. 
“No, no; ’twouldn’t do,” said the old hunter, 
glancing cautiously around him.
