A hunter is having great sport bagging some fine game, when an officer puts in his appearance and demands to see his license. Having a keen sense of humor and wishing to put the officer of the law to great inconvenience and have a little fun at his expense, the hunter tells him that if he wishes to see the license he must chase after it, whereupon the sport starts to run. The policeman, who is an awkward, clumsy old fellow, starts in pursuit of his adversary, and the many funny situations that ensue are extremely amusing. The hunter keeps a fair distance ahead of his pursuer, but at times he stops long enough to strike the latter and tease him a little in order to arouse his wrath to an exciting point and keen up the life of the chase. Finally the sportsman runs into a summer garden where he orders some refreshments, and is just imbibing the alluring beverage when the officer comes upon him and demands to see the license. Without losing his gravity the fellow takes the document out of his pocket and satisfies the protector of the law that he is entitled to have as much sport as he desires without the interference of anyone.
