killed in Phinholloway swamp,
Friday evening by an unknown

Harper was shot in the back with
buckshot and in the face with

MOTHER BIRD'S STRATAGEM.
Her Clever Method of Reaching Her
Meet Unobserved.
While strolling on the banks eft
French creek, neur Clavton, and in com¬
pany with my wifo a friend wo
started a woodcock, which feigned
being wounded and gave utterunca
to the most plaintive squeaks, from bo
which we inferrod the nest must
neur.
A short search discovered it among
small bushes on the ground in a
comparatively exposed position. The
nest contained three eggs, which wc,
of course, did not disturb. Leav
t,ic nest f° r over an hour, I cau
ten
feet of it without disturbing thc old
bird. After watching her for about
ten minutes 1 saw her stand up in
the nest and with her bill and one
b which settled
oTtho after she
back nest
She then evidently saw me, for
she gave a sudden twist sideways
out "as" fiat as
possible, her bill resting fiat on tho

possible until .bon, twenty feet
away, when she arose wuth the usual

nalIy turnod over her back , flut
her wings as if in the last

scrambled away, dragging one
on the ground until she had led me
fully 200 yards from the nest, when
suddenly she bade me au revo.r and
darted awav like a rocket.
Secreting mvself some distance
from the nest, .in fourteen minutes
r was surprised to see her sitting on
it as before being disturbed, but
how she reached there I am unable
to sav, as I did not toe her approach,
an( j ] ia lf a minute before her ap
pearance on the nest nothing was
to be seen or heard. As the woods
were open, I had an excellent op
