THE DEER THIEVfiS 9 Toby Nelson had always wanted to go deer hunting, and the first time he went he got his deer. He was only twelve years old at the time. Toby was a young boy with very kind oarents and they had promised him a new deer rifle if he would get a deer. ''Hien Toby shot the deer he was all alone and did not know what to do. After he stuck the deer he ran to the house to get his little riding horse. Where are you going with your horse? shouted his older brother. You know dad said not to take him out when he was gone. I've got a deer, said Toby excitedly, I shot him with my twenty-two. Hal ha! I bet you have,'1 taunted his brother. I'd like to see him. Toby was going into the woods with his horse. He had some stout rooe with him and he intended to tow the deer in. Here I Take these and draw me a Dicture of it, his brother jeered. It's so easy when you have a mode1} my dear boy. His brother had stuck crayons into Toby's nocket and went back into the house laughing. Toby was angry clean through. He yanked a coil of stout rooe from its olace on a s-'ike and gallopped off into the woods. He was pT-noot there when he heard a gun fire. Right in front of him a doe jumped for her last time. Then two men emerged from the woods carefully aid with the o-reatest of caution. Luckly, Toby was hidden before they c;lme out. Leave her here and we'll get that buck down the hill a way,1» Toby heard one of them say. His voice sounded mean and rough, and Toby knew that the man must match the voice, for his every action seomed „o show savagery. Then a thought struck him! Maybe it was his deer! Anyway he would follow them and find out. Toby followed them and it was his deer all right ! Then suddenly he had ulan. It would be dangerous, but he was willing to take the chance. He reached into his Docket and nulled out something, care- fnjgy concealing it in Iv: s nand. He ran toward 'the deer; grabbed onto it - it1 c j i his mignt. The men grabbed him, but he worked out his clan. This duer was carefuliy marked so that no one, unless nc knew Wu ne look, conid tell the difference.
