NEW YORK, Saturday.

W9 men looked in a gunsmith’s windowi

They were both tall and broad shouldered; and something about them spoke ot wide plains and thlcnjungles una big game. In-'

side the window, slender and dull, were tho

lnstnlmenis whereby mankind gets most oi its deso- lation and the high lights of irts amusement. All sorts

or guns were there-thick and thin, compact and.

long--and the men, who evidently lmeyv all npqug -”»

them, became very professional. _»

“Ther-e's one' of those pump guns," said the bigger

one. "Great gulls! what murderous things those ure. The man who'd take one oi' those with him;

He stopped, though his expression indicated that

that man was outside of the plane ot all human society. l

“There was a chap in Africa thalt I met out thcro

ll couple of years ago," said the other with an unmls' tllkably English accent, “who used one of them all the time. Yes, you know--really. Very bad formi . y’ know. 7

“l wish Hornaday could have seen him-tbat’s a|l,"

remarked the drst. "Why, a man who would do 1 thing like that!”-- _

His tones became quite indignant as the two passed

along, and the writer stood staring at the guns. Why should a "pump gun" be had form? What would Dr. Ilornadny have done to the man? It was clearly the director oi' tho Bronx Zoological Park who was re- irrrcd to. Were there, then, ethicsin wild game hunt-

ing, and, ii' so. what were _tlrqQ

it seemed clearly necessar'y\*to look Dr. Hornadsy

up and iiud out. And- William T. Hornadrly might easily be expected' not only to answer that question satisfactorily, but many others besides, for lle is one of that class ot men to which Mr. Maxim, inventor, poet and critic. also belongs-ll man whose interests rllllge from literature to science and who possesses many way stations inibetween. Inifllct, it the ques- tion did not happen to be one of shooting the minor animals ot creation, buthad touched upon the duties ot a collecting naturalist. ll tnxidermlst, n founder of zoologicsl parks and gardens. an author, a traveller, n writer .ot sclentlilc works, a novelist or a business mlm, he could be looked upon equally as an authority.

For, as a traveller, he has penetrated the jungles

of Venezuela and British Guiana; he has hobnobbed in Cuba with Spaniards and revolutlonlsts as tar back ss 1875: he has pursued both science and art to their respective lairs lnlevery museum and gallery ot Europe worth tneutioning; he has consorted with wild beasts in the jungles of 'India. Ceylon and the Malay _ Peninsula; he has held familiar acquaintance with those lnildnlannerod persons the head hunters ot Bomeo, .which -'withtbe ordinary man might have produced'decllpitst.lon,~but with'Dr. Horrladay merely

produced-_a` novel. < -

A Sportsman_Must Wait Till the Duol¢s_Fly_ _

tomatlc gun, you understand-ln wild game hunting. With it you can simply keep on pulling the trigger and pouring out n stream of lead till your lnaguziue's empty. Now, that‘s not fair. The animal has no chance. A man who_would do that is a natural butcher and not cl sportsman at all. Ho only wants to kill. He doesn’t want to exercise his skill, his finesse and courage against the skill and finesse and courage of the wild thing in the jungle. I would sooner have rl man with n knite swallowing sort ot bad form than that variety of i_t," said Dr. Horns- day very enlphtltlcallywtllns pulpably vindlrntlng the judgments of the gentlemen who had looked in tha

gun store. - . ‘ ‘ - - '

"Then there is a dlderence between butchery and

big game hunting?" _

“Deeided1y,".nn_swered Dr. Hoi-nsday, quite per-

plexed that there should be the least doubt of the matter. _

“Perhaps the greatest instinct that lthe wild animals

have is the instinct for danger. Given anything like n chance they can render a good account of them selves. in tact, the mosreiementsl spirit ot real

sportsmanship is that the anllnalshall have a_cl_1ance."

‘_'Whatevcr the circumstances. The rule is irrevo-

cable as the crack of doom. Now, there was my friend John Phillips.” said Dr. Horuaday. “There was all illstance. .lohn had been out aimost_l1ll day

Then suddenly appeared before John Phillips-qlulil. \Vhen they saw John they conllllent-rd rnnnillg about rapidly to and fro: bllt they \vollldu‘t tly. John shooed them rlnd nlllde noises. Hu did his best to disturb them, hut with- out avail. He continued to rlln around, but they didn't rise. They scorned to have some um-nnlly ln- stinct. Well, llo\v_--wllllt would _von have done?"

"'l`nkell ll shot at 'clll." said the \\'l'itcl' with most

unspol-tslllllnlike instinct.

“'l‘lll\n you‘re not a sportsmnn," 'proclhllncd Dr.

Hornlldny triumphantly. "No good sportsnlall wnllld tllillk oi' ilt. So John Phillips callle back. hot and mosquito bitten and angry. He‘d been working llll day for a shot, but be c'ouldn‘t take one lllltll the proper conditions were there. The blamed little bcg- gllrs wolllrln’t rise, he said. So how could llc shoot?"

In those circumstances, of course, Dr. Hornaduy’s

question was altogether ununswerable. He continued his cnrllfulenumel-ntioll. . .

“lt’s exllrrnble sportsmanship to shoot a female,"

he snlll. “’l`hllt`s awful form. Neither does ll sports- mlln kill ll yullm' lnnlr. Only a ulalc nlllture. crllfty, expcrlencell, is ll pl-llper quarry. Now, llel'e’s an ln- stancc of wlllrt rcnlly good sporisllllluslllp is:-A
