Indeed, such was the fame of her beauty that from miles round the country folk came in wagons, carts, or any vehicle that could be procured -- and when on: was not available they hesitated not to walk----that they might feast their eyes on the celebrity from town.

Whenever she appeared inspublic she was at once surrounded by a crowd . men and women belonging to all classes, whose admiration grew to be a posi- tive danger to its object, who ran more than a chance of being crushed to death in the press, as, indeed, was more than one, of her worshippers. op these circumstances, appeal was to the eiyic authorities, who, at due y agreed to supply her with protection against her too ardent admirers, on condition that she should at certain hours walk abroad so that the publie might look upon her face. "This, after some de- mur, she agreed to do, so twice a week the populace of Toulouse were permitted to 'wellect 'im orderly throngs to view..ber whom they re- garded as little less than a goddess.

They were very rarely caught sight of on the ground, but.a dog could al- ways flush them, into the lower branches of the nearest trees, whieh was where the guns could flame their deadly work: Oftener, however, "trapping" was resorted to, for the wild turkey was swift in addition to its wariness, and like as not ¢nded its fight in the tallest tree instehd. The ways and means of trapping wild turkeys were as varied as the strategy of the farmer's boy was sup- erficial or . profound. Generally a measure of corn, bagged from dad's erib, 'and a hatchet were the only accessories asked lor---or ptrloined without the asking. An hour or two in the bush was sufficient for .the gathering together of emough poles and brush to erect a small "stockade fort," built square, and contracting towards the top, where a rough thatching completed the death cham- ber. Again the hand-axe was called Into requisition; this time to, faeili- tate 'the construction of a "sally port" or diteh-like emtrance, of size wmple to admit of the entrance of a single turkey. The trap was com- plete. To bait it was simplicity it- self, for the turkey-trapper only laid a few tempting trains from his corn bag, starting at some distance away, jand leading through the bush from opposite directions to the entrance of the pen, which also was strewn with the yellow grains that were so liter- ally "a delusion and a snare." Onee In the dark interior whither his love for maize had led him, all reason seemed to leave the big, wary bird at once, and he flew round like one possessed, wounding himself against the sides and narrowed top till in- capable of remembering, or finding, the shadowed. aperture through which he had entered.
