Seeing the animal standing in a field near the road, they stopped the car and backed up â- to get a better look, and the deer had no objection to their actions. It came over to the fence which it eas- ify jumped, walked up to the car and put its, head in an open window. It was entirely without fear and quite friendly. Mr. and" Mrs. Graham got out and petted the animal for some time. The deer was a buck and its new set of antlers vere just in the velvet -cover«^d .sta? :.
