Caught in a Trap.

Reader allow me to introduce to your no.
tice Bob Weldon and myself. The former
was as fine a fellow as ever drew bead on a
painted red-skin five feet eleven in his
stockings, light blue eyes and faxen hair,
and taken all in all, was perfect type of
manliness and beauty. He could hit pipe
stem as far as he could see it, and once his
rifle was raised, yelping red skin was sure
to go under. As for myself-well never
mind me- Of course was Bob's opposite in
everything except fearlessness, and that ac-
counts for the great liking we had for one
another. We were inseparable. Where
Bob went, | went, and rice cersa. Many
beaver have we trapped, and many an Indian
has been wiped out as we stood side by SIDE,
and defied their yelling hordes to approach
us. ,
One day Bob and I went out in search OF

For several days previous we had not seen
single Indian, and so long as they LETT US
alone, We were not likely to nunt them up.
w left the big Red river and struck a south
westerly course toward the Comanche coun-
try. where we knew bears were pretty plen-
ty: but luck was against US. We had been
gone two DAYS before we caught sight of a
Single grizzly, but on the third day we espied
quite a large one enjoying himself on a
rocky ledge among the mountains. Bob was
eager to salute, but before he could raise his
rifle. bruin was . gone from our gaze"

Following the direction pointed at, could
see thin wreath of smoke rising from the
forest, which was about two miles distant
Bob was all exctement-a rare thing for
hin-and was for instantly setting forward
and letting the red skins hear from us but
at this moment horseman emerged from
the forest and approached US at full speed
He was followed by pack Of the yelling
thieves, who occasionally sent shot afte1

made us out he was perfectly calm.

Several times the Indians approached

From the 18th of June to the lst of August,
the pound keeper reports having drowned
thirty-six hundred dogs, captured running
at large, unmuzzled. A week or so ago,
one of the men engaged in putting the
dogs UNDER had one fine, large Newfound-
land dog to dispatch. and while engaged in
the murderons work, slipped and fell over
board. Being unable to swim, the man was
in great danger of drowning. when the dog
went to his rescue, seized him by the collar

the world say the man did with the dog that
thus saved his life? Will any one believe
he drowned the dog? But he did, pleading
it was his duty to do so.
