[CopyrlKht, 190$. by T. C. McClurc.]
From the time be came home to din
ner until bedtliue arrived Mru. Bowser
was puzzled over Mr. Bowser's- atti
tude. lie was good until rod. He chuc
kled at Intervals. She looked up to tlnd
Aim grinning Now and then when be
thought ho wasn't observed he would
lift up his arms like one sighting a
gun. She puzzled and Iwthered over
the matter all the eveulng. but asked
no questions, nor did she learn of the
little scheme be had oa band until
next moaning. Then at the breakfast
table he smilingly asked:
"Mrs. Bowser, have you any idea
what day this is?"
"It's no day in particular as far as I
remember," she replied.
"It's a great day. Mrs. Bowser, a
great day. lu fact. It may be said to be
ont of the great days lu American his
"I AM OUT IIEUT. IX Tiu: COUNTRY,
tory. Didn't you observe anything pe
culiar nbout iny attitude last night?"
"Yes, I did. You acted like a boy
that had fouud a cent on the street."
"And I felt like one. I was full of
anticipation. I was jubilant. I was
enthusiastic. Today. Mrs. Bowser, Is
the ttunirersury of my annual rabbit
hunt. Today I hie tne forth to tho an
nual slaughter, nutt at (he same* tune 1
keep my eyes open for the tlrst spring
robin."
"You mean you are going out into the
country to plow your way through
snowdrifts three feet deep all day and
cotne home without having even seen a
blue Jay?"
"1 mean, my dear woman, that I am
going out Into the country to shoot h
hundred or more rabbits and -have
heaps of sport. There Is some snow,
but that Mongs with sport, and don't
you worry nbout blue jays. The ques
tion is, How many rabbits can we
make use of In the home larder? 1
want to see the butcher this morning
as I go out and arrange with him for
what's left over."
"Yon are determined to go?" sho
Rsked.
"Nothing can stop me."
"Then you can send homo about
twenty-five rabbits by the farmer'it
team you hire, and the other hundred
or so can be left at the butcher's. If
we get tired of eating our share I can
give the rest away to the poor. Please
shoot them through the head as far as
you can, so as not to muss up the
meat. You'll find telephones at almost
every farmhouse. I wish you'd keep
mo posted as you go along."
"By George, but that's the way to
talk!" exclaimed Mr. Bowser as he
brought his list down on the table. "I
thought you were going to be mean
aud sarcastic about It. Now I can go
forth with a Jubilant heart and knock
over 100, :i00, 500 of the plumpest, fat
test rabbits In the land. Yes, I'll tele
phone you every hour. It will be almost
us If you were with me. Say, now, but
we'll make this the greatest annual
hunt 1 ever had, and rabbit fur will
be flying up and down this street like
thistledown in a gale of wind."
Wifey Encourages Him.
Mrs. Bowser had started out to be
sarcastic, but had eudcd In encourag
ing him. The wife who sees that her
husbuud Is bound and determined
should fall In line with his Ideas. Ilalf
an hour after breakfast Mr. Bowser
stood before her arrayed In his shoot
lng suit, and lie was in such good
spirits that she was almost glad to see
hlra go. He departed to take a subur
ban car and be landed among the
snowdrifts five miles away, and he
had been gone hardly more than au
hour when he called her up by tele
phone to say:
'T am out here In the country. Hare
Just met a farmer who says that there
are more'n a million rabbits a mile
farther on. He says he never saw
luch plump, fat rabbits; says they
Just wait for you to shoot 'em. I ar
ranged with the butcher to take seven
ty-flve, but you can send word over
that I'll make It 200. It's glorious out
her6. Goodby."
Mr. Bowser had Indeed met a farm
er on the highway, and the farmer had
told him as above. He was a good
hearted fanner and also a good liar.
He hadn't seen a rabbit all winter,
but Uo felt ho ought to encourage a
man that had come sir miles on an
annual hunt. Au hour after the first
telephone message came the second ar
rived. Mr. Bowser said:
"The million rabbits had all gone by
the time I got to the spot: but. oh. you
ought to see tho tracks left behind
? such large tracks, such generous
tracks, so many tracks! 1 am at a
farmhouse where the farmer says that
be has made a hundred dollars a week
this season shooting rabbits. Ho Isn't
a bit jealous of me. lie says for uie to
go ahead and shoot a thousand if I
want to. It's only out In the country
that you find such large hearted men.
Tell the butcher to make arrangements
to take at least 300. I am well and
happy and am r.ow bound for a spot
where the rabbits for ten miles around
congregate to bo shot. The farmer will
hire me his team after the slaughter."
The reason Mr. Bowser wasn't heard
of agalu for the next two hours was
because he was looking for the spot of
"congregation." In looking for this he
had to plow through a piece of woods,
skirt n marsh and cross three open
fields where the snow lay two' feet
deep. Once In making this journey he
thought he heard a blue Jay cry out.
and agalu he thought he caught the
noise of a woodpecker ou a dead tree,
but he wasn't quite sure In either case,
lie reached the spot at last to find the
rabbits gone. The convention hud met
and adjourned, lie their walked to a
farmhouse and telephoned:
"l was just too late again, but 1 have
lost none of iny enthusiasm. Annual
rabbit huut Is bound to be a success.
The rabbit Is a shy, coy cuss, but so Is
Bowser. Have Just had a bite to eat
at a farmhouse. The farmer's wife
says that she counted more than 2,000,
000 In one drove the other (lay. She
says that tho great thing in rabbit
hunting Is perseverance. I am now
about to beat up a piece of woodland
where a hunter from the city loaded
four wagons In an hour the other day.
1 expect to load at least two. Tell the
butcher to make the number 600."
Heart a Strange Voic*.
Hrtlf an hour Inter there was another
ring, but It was not from Mr. Bowser.
It whs a strange voice that said:
"Hello! Am I speaking to Mrs. Bow
ser?"
"Yes."
"Wife of Samuel Bowser?"
"Yes."
"Short, bnldlieaded man?"
"Yes."
"Is he out n Ills annual rabbit hunt
today?'
. "Yes. Is anything wrong?"
"That's what I wanted to ask you.
There Is a man wandering around here
who says his name Is Samuel Bowser,
lie is talking alnnit blue jays, wood
peckers and rabl)its, and we thought
he was loose iu tho top of his head.
It's ail right, however, If you say so."
"Has he shot any rabbits yet?"
asked Mrs. Bowser.
"Lord bless you, ma'am, ho don't
know a rabbit from <i rod onlfl"
The next message was from Mr.
Bowser himself. His voice had lost
something of Its Jubilation, but he was
still game.
"No rabbits yet." he phoned, "bnt 1
am on the trail and expecting to come
across them any moment: also to see a
robin. Have Just been talking with a
farmer who says that the rabbits must
have heard that I am out here, but he
tells me not to give up. 1 shall stick to
the trail. The rabbit Is coy and cute,
but Samuel Bowser Is coyer and cuter.
When I once get to work, the slaughter
will go on for hours. I may not be
home for two days. Toll the butcher?
welL .vou needn't tell him anything
this time. He said he would Iks pre
pared to take any number up to n thou
sand."
There was one more message. It was
not from Mr. Bowser, but from a
fanner's wife, and she said:
"If this is Mrs. Bowser, let me say
that my husband and two sons are
now chasing your husband across the
fields. He shot our cat ami flred at an
old gander, and if overhauled they will
tie him up and take him to the nearest
Insane asylum. If you knew he was
loony, why did you let him come?"
