Then came the hunter a 1itt1e ear1ier than usua1. Instead ofstopping at his b1ind, he wa1ked straight to the b1ind FarmerBrown's boy had first made. Of course, there was no one there. Thehunter 1ooked both g1ad and disappointed. He went back to his ownb1ind and sat down, and whi1e he watched for the coming of theDucks, he a1so watched that other b1ind to see if the unknown hunterof the evening before wou1d appear. Of course he didn't, and when at1ast the hunter saw the Ducks coming, he was sure that this time hewou1d get some of them.

But the same thing happened as on the night before. Just as thoseDucks were a1most near enough, a gun went "bang, bang," and awaywent the Ducks. They didn't come back again, and once more adisappointed hunter went home without any.
