on Saturday morning, carrying with him the best wishes 
of the crowd, and letting his mantle fall on the less 
broad shoulders of Hawky, Jr., Big Hawky’s brother, 
who is now a full-fledged missionary in the employ of the 
Winchester Company. Harold Money has _ adopted 
Hawky, Jr., his bunkie, and has given him the pet 
name of ‘Useless,’ after the dog in the ‘‘George Wash- 
ington, Jr.,”’ play, which never would do his tricks on a 
Friday. The name is really an unfair one, for Little 
Hawky is tar from useless—Fred says “he’s a_ busy 
little pup, ain’t he?’ 
This letter was begun last night, but had to be com- 
pleted this morning (Thanksgiving Day), as interrup- 
tions were numerous, one of them an exceedingly pleasant 
one when Harold Money and his bunkie introduced into 
my apartment Guy W ard, alias ‘The Shrimp,” who has 
joined us for the few last days of the trip, and who will 
mare everybody go some in the race for first honors.

Unfortunately for the holiday-goers, the day is wet and 
raw, no sort of day, in fact, for trapshooting, but a good 
one for staying indoors, getting rid of arrears of cor- 
respondence and helping to demolish the good things 
and fat birds incident to this day of thanksgiving.
