BY C. E. M.

My friend (mountain in Massachusetts) and I, accompanied by a (islands

in the Pacific) (river in New York) (Territory in the United States) as

guide, started from the little (river in Germany), where we had been

spending our two weeks' vacation together, in search of (city in New

York); for as (mountain in Massachusetts) said, it would never do to

return to the (cape in Asia) without some trophy of our skill and

prowess.

Having donned our (river in Scotland) hunting suits, we launched the

canoe, and were soon gliding swiftly down the river, through whose (lake

in British America) one could distinctly see the (cape in Australia)

bottom.

We succeeded in shooting the (city in Michigan) without mishap, though

our frail craft bobbed about like a (city in Ireland); and having

reached our landing-place, we scrambled up the (town in New Jersey), and

came upon what seemed to be the ruins of some old (island in Rhode

Island) house.

This we passed, and the hunting ground being now close at hand, we sent

the guide forward to reconnoitre, while we patiently awaited his

re-appearance.

We had not (island in New York) to wait, for the (Territory in the

United States) quickly and noiselessly hastened back to us, and, without

speaking, pointed eagerly toward the (cape in Asia), where we could

distinctly make out a small group of (river in New York) objects,

apparently motionless.

"We are in (city in India)," whispered my friend.

And as the animals seemed to be unconscious of our presence, we crept

cautiously through the long grass until we were near enough to get a

(island off the coast of Scotland) aim.
