It's the one where the hunter sleeps with the man's wife after the man chickens out on one of their hunting expeditions. After that he redeems himself and his wife winds up shooting him (accidentally) and killing him.

The title is "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".
Written in the 1930s. Hemingway says about it: "... school teachers include them in story collections that they pupils have to buy in story courses, and you are always faintly embarrassed to read them and wonder whether you really wrote them or did you maybe hear them somewhere..."
It's the phenomenon suffered by almost all writers after a long story-making life.
He tells us about a safari, a topmodel of cosmetics
married to a gentleman, bored, and then the lion hunter Robert Wilson appears, and then it happens what you can imagine, but better re-read it and find out the same as the author feeled, because litterature must be reciprocal and changes with time and self-mood.
I bought the paperback volume for 1$ at Old Saybrook (Con.).
"Omnibus Volume".
