"Ha, ha," chortled a big fat mallard as he dived with derring-do and settled nonchalantly on a slough. Too tired to raise our gun barrel and shiveiing too much to aim it if we had, we just sat and contemplated the three of them. "Fella said there would be clouds of ducks here by four, said the swath, a note of hope rising in the voice, "Yeah," replied the reeds in fainter tone.

There was a derisive quack from the slough. "Great day for it," said the swath as a figure arose and straw dropped from its shaking shoulders. The nose was redder than when it disappeared beneath jhe swath. "Nothing like a day in the open," said the reeds as a well-upholstered but creaking figure arose. "Can't miss with the 16-gauge today," said the smaller of the two, hunched against the frigid breeze.

Tell me they will be bark." And the swalh began 'to move with agitation and there was rising hysteria in the voice. Chomp, chomp, chomp," said the reeds as walnut chips flew skyward.

Someone sat on the sandwiches," croaked a tired voice from the rear. "Ouch!" we said again as the portly one swerved the car to miss a skunk and hot coffee filled our lap.

"Oh, well," observed the voice from the rear, "it is a great sport, and the meat is cheap, "Yeah," said the portly one. "Just think only a dollar per pound.
