yean sioce, fait of rare bdram-tcaram
fellow, who were the champions of their,
respective borne factions' jo any and every
game that could be started, from ' pitching
coppers' up to the celebrating Fourth ol
uly. II there was a nlroe of ball, or a
squirrel hunt,' or a, wrestline- matcL1 or
any other affair where strenrtb, skill or affil-
iiy couia be brought wto requisition, they
were sure to hare a prominent Dart in k.
and to be pitted against each other gene
raiiy. i nings naa ptusea on tnu way for
many years, and neither wai acknowlcdu-sd
io oo me nig aoe oi me lanyara.' innu
merable tiaa been the trials of skill between
them in almost every" imaginable manner
sometimes one wns vkjtorroui; sometimes
....a l
tne otner: However, tM honor were jrjst
about divided, for it was Generally consider-
ea a seniea point that wDile BaUpt TUaT,
as be was called, could pitch qaoits a little
the best, was rather tber lupeiior of bis
anttgbnist at ' arm's length wrestlings and
could catch mote and bettor trout than
any one in the region ; Joait Short was
unquestionably ahead when It came to ball
piaying, gunning, una running a wovrace.
'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. It was scarcely
five minutes after be bad left bis companion,
still intending to keep in sight, when he
beard tbe discharge of both barrels ia quick
succession and his name calkq ia rather tri
