When the guides take me out alone or with a man who knows something about hunting, I do enjoy it, but when they take me out with men like the one today it makes me awfully nervous and I suppose it makes Morgan ner vous too. He can't cuss them and so he scolds me for the least little thing. I know he doesn't mean it though, because he gives me a pat once in a while, when the men aren't looking. SIZING UP A HUNTER "I can tell what kind of a hunt- brush off the sand that had gotten all over it, and all the while the gun was pointing right at me, or Morgan, or Shaw, or the driver, and the sight of the dark eyes of a gun barrel looking into your's isn't pleasant. "Shaw got out of the way, walking rather fast, for Shaw, and I tried to get out of the way too, but Morgan kept yanking me back, being busy and not noticing what was taking place.

Then he closed up the gun case and did it up in a blanket and put it in the carriage, as if the case were much more valuable than the gun. Then while Morgan was trying to get Nona out, (she's my hunting com panion) he took about five min utes to get the gun together, then he couldn't close it after he had put the cartridges in. He banged it hard enough to break it' but he didn't 'know enough to hadn't happened to be at safe, you ought to have sen him side step, but that was no excuse for his yanking me and Nona so hard. Then Morgan made a flank move ment, asked the man if he couldn't help him and the gun was soon closed. NO PLACE FOR A NERVOUS MAN "Well, Morgan side stepped all the rest of the day, keeping time with that man who, 'every half minute, pointed the gun in his direction. I heard Morgan tell Shaw (the day he was out with that fellow with the automatic gun, which went off three times while he was showing how safe it was) that he didn't used to mind it, but now he was married
