At a general meeting of the members of all the Advisory Committees in New York city, called by Chairman Watrous at the National Academy of Design, for each committee representing a group of the classification a chairman and a secretary was elected and general plans were formulated for the carrying on of the work.
In fact, the youthful Watrous showed such an interest in the sport that he forgot the danger which always accompanies it. Had he stopped a minute or so to reflect, he would have seen that now was the time for the three to stick together, for never was there likely to be an occasion which would demonstrate more certainly that in union there is strength.
Just as he did so, he heard the report of a gun only a short distance to the left, at a point where Herbert Watrous should have been. "He's scared up something," was the natural conclusion of Sam, who smiled as he added; "I wonder whether he could hit a bear a dozen feet off with that wonderful Remington of his.
The individual thus hailed turned about, and looked back to see who it was that called. As he did so his face was seen, and Nick Ribsam gave utterance to an expression of astonishment. The stranger ahead of the two boys was Herbert Watrous, the city youth upon whom Nick had sat down so hard three years before.
Nick had not his father's watch with him, but Herbert Watrous carried a handsome gold hunting-piece, which was now consulted and showed it was nearly two o'clock. "The days are getting short," said Sam Harper, with a doubtful shake of the head; "that doesn't leave us more than three hours of daylight, and it is hardly worth while to part company."

Just because this card says the agent and operator won't be here till five o'clock doesn't mean that he's gone out of town. Besides, I'll see my friend, Jim Watrous." This was the gardener and general factotum at Colonel Van Dyne's. The Poketown school-teacher hurried away, and left Janice and Marty sitting together in the railroad station.
Just as he turned to follow the deer, Herbert Watrous raised his breech-loader to his shoulder and fired point blank at him. "What did you do that for?" demanded Sam Harper, striding threateningly toward him with his fist raised. "Why why I declare! I thought it was the bear!" exclaimed the abashed Herbert; "I never dreamed it was the dog."
