'1 nus stood matter! when one annual J, une training day arnved. The snirrt was runninir orettv hiffh. and John Short J Of - w commenced boasting of his' success In a shooting excursion the day previous. Sandy Mat was a little pcttlpd by the indiscreet exultation of his rival, and at lost exclaimed: 4 Youietarnally jawing about your great shooting, John, but darn my skid if I don't think I could gire you a pretty fair chase myself , ,.,.. ' Ob, no doubt you d make a great show.' replied John; with a broad laogh. i J ' -: : - Ug s a migbty good aogf but Holdfast is better,' said 8ndy, ' perhaps, you wouldn't mind beUing your; double barrel agin mine that you can take more game b tween sun rise and sun M to-morrow than 1 can.' Perhaps I wouldn't just try it' ' IVul, it's a brt then.' ' Just as you say,' ' I should like to put in a condition,' said John Short 'that we carry each otber't game.' Haint no objection on airtb to that,' said tbe other put it down io writioir. so that mere can oe no misuKe, or cnance to oack out.' Tbia was allr agreed to, the requisite writings ' were made, and due preparations for the next day's work completed At the first break of the' morn,' the two banters, fully equipped for their labors, made their appearance at tbe appointed rendezvous, and after tatting a social dram together, started off in fine Spirits. Tbey had trav elled about three miles without firing a shot, and were a considerable distance ftora any habitation, when they camo across a fine calf, some three or four months old. When within a half a rod of ibis ionocent wander er, John Short raised bis gun to bis should er, and before bis companion could suspect or imagine his intention, discharged iu con tents - into the head of the poor beast, its ma ternal ancestor probably1 not being aware that h was out it gave one bleat, tumbled over, kicked away for an instant with its hind legs in a peculiar and extremely signifi cant mannerand meekly gave no the ghost 1 That's a d d smart trkk, exclaimed Sandy Mat, what on airth did you want to do that for Hutchinson will kick up all soits of a fuss about it he woold'nt have taken ten dollars cash for that 6ilf.' ' 1 Time enough to settle that when we get home,' said John, very quietly loading the barrel which he bad discharged., 'Bag that Mfiu nrA lot's m t Rac what rm V That calf there.', r You don't mean-' 4 1 don't mean any thing but the agree meat, Sandy ; just look at tbe paper ; you'll find that you are bound to carry home all I kill.' iit 1 But k ain't fair.' ' That's to be agreed on by ethers bet, accordiog to that paper, if yoa don't carry horns all I kill, you lose the gun, you Know.' 1 Wal, this is a great business boWerer, you shall never have a chanct to say that 1 gave in so here goes. ; 1 So swinging the carcass across hia shoul der, poor Sandy again started - very demure ly upon the excursion. After trudging along for half a mile or so, John took ofTlowaida the edge of the woods ostensibly lor the purpose of looking for game, but really to take a hearty gufjaw over the 'predicament of bis worthy antagonist.
