Dismal os the lat ter may be and generally ia, it is orien tal luxuriance'compared to the firmer, especially if the highway being trav ersed happens to he the .Missouri river when it feels ‘pert.’ ” The speaker wus a western man. “It was in the early ’80’s. Yon re member the winter I had that thing on in Knnaaa City?\ he resumed. “Whew, what a winter that wasl Ther mometer down below zero for six weeks, wind howling a blizzard all day and resting up nt night for the next day, anow three feet deep.and frozen colld so that wagon wheels played hnrmQnics all the time, a man's breath adding to the accumulations of snow and ice and—” “ Oh, -come, Charlie,” broke in the sufferer, “ draw It mild, like Sairey Camp liked it.” ' “ Well* you know it was a fearful win ter as well aa I. What’s the matter? You visited me and nearly froze* to death. Couldn't keep warm, although I burned up a ton of coal a week. Well, you know. I'm something of a hunter. I had plenty of idle time and used to wrap up well and take my Parker out across into Kansas, where chicken and duck were plenty. 1 had some line sport sniping, too, along the big river and the slough. There are too many hills thereabouts for good sloughing. -though.— — ------ ------ —— r. ___ . .“ It was along in March. Y*u know the idea that the weather out there is better than here won’t hold water, for the water would freeze in winter. The season outlasts ours sometimes, too. It did this particular winter, for they had snow in the middle of April. Fact. I got out my gun one day when it was a bit mild and went over the road to a few miles up river from Quindaro. You know this once famous town is now the reservoir for the waterworks. Well, I spiped along the bank in the reeds and tvtis knocking over quite a few, ,wheq I saw I had better start back \down river-If I wanted to get home before dark. I had had good sport, hut ached for more. It was a grand day -tcold/ to be sure, but bracing. “At lost I spied some duck sitting on the water—the river rarely freezes all the wily over—just beyond the rim of ice which fringed the shore. At this point .the river sweeps wide to the north and then cuts into the hills on the sodtli side, forming a narrow gorge near the waterworks. There is a bend wliichp the current strikes and it had piled “tip a lot of ice in hummocks as it ground against the shore ledge. These hummocks helped me a heap, for I could sneak out on the shore ice and get a chance at the duck. I forgot all about the time, for I was shy a good fat redhead and wanted him. “Weill sir, I went out on that shore ledge—it was shoal water there—and heaved chunks of ice at those ducks to get ’em up, you Anow, for no hunter shoots at water fowl when swimming. Thev* balked like Sam Hill and I crept out farther and farther, still heaving things at 'em. At last they rose and I was busy shooting right and left at fast aa. I could load. Then when we got out of range I found I had nary a duck, was out o f cartridges and no dog to bring in the dead. I killed a lot, but they fell in the water or, what .was worse, on ihe bank. “Yes, sir, that’s a fact. I turned back to go to the shore and discovered that I was on an ice raft well out In the current. 11 was whirling around in the eddying stream like a top. and by the time J had seen the waterworks half a dozen times and lost ’em as often I declare I didn't know if 1 was at Quindaro or in the Alps. Say, maybe you think I liked it. I didn’t. That river is a hard proposition anywhere. It ia harder in what they-call a throat gorge—one of these narrowings o f the banks—than anywhere else. I was in oue o f these gorges and working down stream aa fast as the field ice would let me. “As 1 said, the crushing of the floe against that angle In the bank had piled up a lot of bergs higher than my head. What made me swear at myself for a fool was that I had forgotten to calculate the rottenness of ice at that season. I went out on the edge, and, as the dumned stream was rising any way, I had slipped the moorings of my raft. So while I was busy shooting the confounded thing was traveling due north, which there meant out Into the current. There i V a s out in the mjddle o f the busiest river on the globe with nothing but some rotten ice be tween me and an undertow warranted to pull under a warship. ,-Oh, it_waa lovely. But I was up against It, so there waa no use cussing. “Just at this point the river mokes a 'crossing.'
