I know*-■ where there are some of the finest places inthe county to shoot squirrels and pheasants,shouted Sam Semeter as he came out of theschool building at the close of the days work.We can go up to Mill Creek, he explained.I thought those Mill Creek people hadplaced that ground in a game preserve.I dont think they have. I dont thinkthat will make any difference with me. WhenI get ready to hunt I am going right in.Dont you think we had better get permission to hunt, if we go?Didnt I just tell you, Claude Samuels, Iwas not going to heed any old game preserveassociations rules. I shall not ask any ofthem. If you insist on our getting a permitI shall go alone. Do you understand?I supposed I could buy all the game I wouldcatch, and still have a little money left, withthe money a fine would demand.Very well, Claude, if you insist that we geta permit I suppose we must. Be ready by 8oclock Thursday morning and we will go toMill Creek. Good-bye.Good-bye.Are you ready to go?Yes. It wont take me but a few minutes.I feel as strong as a Bull Moose this morning.

He surmised that it wassome jealous hunter.I guess I can shoot pheasants if I have thepermission. You have already caused me tomiss this one. Tie that horse and let him goto France. If he doesnt keep his tongue tohimself Ill show him a thing or two. Get yourgun and come on.I dont think you need to be in any particular rush, gentlemen, interposed a gamewarden who had followed them up the glen.It seems to me that I have seen you, gentlemen before.I guess you have. I know your face, butI cant call your name, ejaculated Sam.
