Capo Cod Hunter Who Shoots
Quickly and Well.
Fmdsrlok Hlgglns Lost His Right Arm
by 'a Hunting Accident but Ha
Can Shoot Just the
Same.
Boston, Mass. Cape Cod has a gun
ner who knows the ways of the wood
cock, the game bird that frequently
shifts Its homo; the tricks of wound
ed wildfowl who will faco death tin
ker water rather than meet tho hunt
er above; tho migrations north and
'south of tho greater yellowlog so ro
'.markablo for Its noise and vigilance;
tho coming of tho sandpiper, tho
snipes and tho plovers. He Is Fred
erick Hlgglns of Orleans, well known
on the Capo as a gunner who does his
shooting, decoy Betting, boating, and,
In fact, everything In his day's doings
with one hand. Ho has but ono arm,
and that 1b his loft.
Some ten ycarB ago he lost his
right arm at the Bhoulder. The acci
dental dlBchargo of his gun so shat
tered tho bones that amputation was
uocweary, but as great an was the loss
it In no wise dulled the liking he had
for shooting. When ho recovered from
his severo Injury ho began practice nt
one-hand shooting. It was a bit vex
ing, If not In a measure discouraging
nt first, but the old lovo for hunting
birds in the uplands and winged garao
along shore and in the wator gave him
courage to proceed and conquer tho
obBtncloB In his way. And ho succeed
ed. Mr. Hlgglm has built a comfortable
shooting box on ono of tho good wild
fowl shores of Orleans. Ho employs
In duck shooting decoys of wood, and
llvo birds captured when wounded, and
tamed to Btay near human habitation.
Nearly all varieties of tho duck fam
ily fly past his cabin. The black duck,
sometimes called tho dusky duck, and
ono of tho wildest of the wild fowl
family, frequently appoara In Beason.
But tho black duck is a suspicious, all-tue-tlme-alort
bird, and not even first
rate live decoys can bo depended upon
to always coax ono or a flock of them
within effective shotgun range. Occa-
tonally, though, one or more ot the
black duck family swims within range
of some carefully scouting gunner, and
a kill Is made.
Other ducks that now and then drop
down to look at Mr. Hlgglns' decoys
are the canvas back, mallard and the
spoonbill, or shoveler duck, which pos
sess tender, dellciousiy-flavored meat;
the teals, blue-winged and green
winged, once in a while appear along
shore, but usually they prefer inland
waters, The redhead la another duck

shores. It is a close relation ot the
canvaaback and Is usually seen with
the latter. They are great divers and
remarkably fast swimmers.
Notwithstanding the loss of his arm
Mr. Hlgglns not only shoots quickly
and well, but ho Is also skilled In tie
management of boats. He owns a fast
yacht, which be manages as easily as
If ho had never encountered accident,
and last summer ho won several prizes
In tho yacht races at Pleasant bay,
Chatham.
In addition to hunting shore birds
and wator fowl Mr. Hlgglns derives a
considerable income from the sale of
tho quahaug, the delicious round, hard
clam of tho Atlantic coast. Somo days
his diggings return him $5, and occa
sionally when good clamming condi
tions prevail ho makes more.
Each yoar with tho coming of tho
open season on shore birds and water
fowl Mr. Hlgglns hits the trail for his
shooting box. He places hla live de
coys and his make-believe ducks and
awaits the Incoming of southing birds.
When tho shooting is good he averages
from eight to a dozen shore birds a
day. Those find ready sale, and thero
b always a market for ducks.
About all of the wild-fowlers and
shore bird gunners who quest for sport
along the Cap Cod littoral know Mr.
Higgles. He Is a witty, very cntortain
Ing story teller, and he is never at a
loss for something worth listening to
when a lively contribution to the gay
ety ot 'a quiet little gathering of gun

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles mental be

thoughtful care In the selection of
