The evening before, dad takes down the old shotgun and ofls it in every crack and cranny, every joint and hinge; he rubs it and he caresses it, and leaves greased rags all over the place. Early, about the time the milkman gets around, dad he slips out of bed, and in the gray pre-dawn boils a pot of coffee and frys a fat slice or two of bacon; he goes stumbling and fumbling over the house from cellar to gable and finally departs with a bang of the front door, Maybe that evening, or next afternoon, dad shows up all fagged out, not very talk- ative, with a few messed-up remains of birds in the yawning bloody pocket of his fmpossible old coat. From the home end this annual hunting season tsn’t delightful, and always it will ‘remain a mystery to women folks why sane men go crazy in such a disreputable, «murderous fashion. But dad goes out and meets the old gods of the high places. He reverts to the primitive and plays cave man on the trail of the sabre tooth. Dad gets, for this one day, back to the earth that gave him birth, he sniffs the aroma of the green hills, and delights in the scarlet and orange and green banners of of the brush thicket. Dad ostensibly goes out after quail and grouse and pheasant, but actually he goes out to be a natural man thing. Man was a hunting animal for something like 300,000 years; he has been a house pet for less than 15,000. Those who mourn over the butchery of these brave game birds also mourn need- | lessly; those who have tried to snap down on an exploding, ‘darting bomb of feathers ' that blows up under your nose in the thick brush, and that immediately is far thence, know that the bird has an even break in this game. And the birds that drop to earth, i stricken instantly by a load of shot, die the most endurable death of all the deaths i that cruel nature has in store for her creatures of grove and wood and plain and : ‘ The quail that escapes the hunter {fs savagely torn apart by the mink, the weasel, i, the bob cat; or perhaps dies from slow starvation. So leave dad be. Don’t burn, that ancient hunting coat. 4 ° e 6 e THE Robbed,” September 29th, tuition fees that the Seatt' out.
