STALKING THE DEER
A very good game for boys and girls to play out in the open country or in the bush is that of .deer stalking. One player, with whistle, takes up a-posi-tion where there is plenty of cover all round—that is, trees, bushes, , rocks,, hedges, and so on. The other phvors scatter in all directions and go right out of sight, remaining quite still for two or three minutes. Then the first player blows his whistle,- and all the others begin to approach him. But they must not allow themselves to be seen. They take cover behind bushes and other objects, and only ruu from shelter when the whistler's head or back is turned. Directly he catches sight of one of the players. approaching he calls out his name, and that player is then out of the game. .The; player who succeeds in coming nearest before he is seen is the winner. Of course, it is essential that all players must move as quietly as possible, so as not to give any indication of their presence by making, a noise that the whistler can hear.
