said were, “How’s Bob?” 
“Dead,” answered Si. 
Although the day I have described 
was many years ago, one of Bob’s de- 
scendants now lies on the rug before 
me as I write. His silver collar has 
engraved upon it these words:

The Top of the Quail Season 
(Continued from page 69) 
’Gene, mess sergeant extraordinary, 
and chef, “cordon blue,” has outdone 
himself, and the dinner table fairly 
groans with ros’ quail, corn pone, pos- 
sum stews and mince and pumpkin pies. 
The Judge the Doctor and some 
‘northern friends from the adjoining 
preserve over beyond Trinity, make up 
a jolly party, and with spirits ever 
gay, aided by spirits uncorked and un- 
pottled, we join hands round the table, 
and, to the chorus of “Auld Lang Syne,” 
“wave Godspeed to the old year and wel- 
_eome in the new. 
| HE following week, we glady accept 
| Mr. Brokaw’s very hospitable in- 
vitation to lunch and a pheasant drive, 
at his charming place some four miles 
away. Mr. Page, Mr. Harriman and I 
are the party from Archdale and with 
our host, a European sportsman, and 
Sheriff Jerden, make up six guns. The 
sheriff, in addition to being a charming 
“companion, and the life of the party at 
luncheon, enjoys the reputation of being 
the best kind of shot in North Caro- 
lina. It was certainly a treat to see 
the workmanlike fashion in which he 
bundled up those pheasants as they 
-eame hurtling over the treetops. We 
had an altogether delightful day and 
before starting on the drive home, our 
host insisted upon filling the boot of 
our wagon with the gorgeous plumaged 
game. 
By now, the season is at anend in the 
north; but here in a balmy autumnal 
climate, it is at its height. Days with 
the swift, hard flying birds are varied, 
now and again, with a merry afternoon 
with the beagles and we return at 
evening with a good string of cotton- 
tails. Alas, as all else, good holidays 
must come to an end, but even in pack- 
ing up guns and heading again for 
northern climes, we can and do take 
with us the health, the pleasure and 
the treasured memories of happy days 
on the upland, with good dogs, good 
friends and good sportsmen.
