fully ior sheltered T.lsce TO hitch sHr
horses, we slyiy ereEs on behind
fences. etc. 'ill We reached the part
of the stream not generally fisbed.
A farm house stood a quarter Of a
mile away. We saw the morning
smoke curling lightly from a stove
pipe; saw a man and two boys come
out to do chores saw woman. busy
about the door, and fcrocious bull
dog wandering about the yard.
1t ever we fished close, it was then
hot a whisper to disturb the birds,
or the owners of the land. We
crawled through the grass aud
lodged behind clumps of alders,
lifting large spcckled beauties out Of
the water till our basket was full.
This was the time to have gone
but the trout bit so readily that we
could not withstand the temptation,
so we decided to string and hide
what we had, and take anoth er bas-
ketful. So at it we went. No sooner
would the hook touch the water
than we had trout. We forgot the
house, the boys and the dog!
Suddenly there was rushing
through an oat field as ifa mad bull
were coming! We look toward the
house, aud saw the farmer and his
two boys on the fence the women in
the door, and the bull dog coming to-
wards US. We saw it all, we had. been
discovered. The well-trained dog had
been sent to hunt us out, and as the
matter appeared, it was safe to bet he
was doing that thing right lively!
TO outrun dog was not to be
thought of. There was no time to
lose. He cleared fence and came
for US just as we reached tree and,
by great activity, took afront seat
on limb above his reached.
Here was a precious go! A VI
cioos bull dog under the tree, and q
farmer and two big boys ready to
move down upon our works. 1t was
fight, f"ot-race, or fangs
The farmer yelled to his dog
Watch him, Tige!'
Tige proposed to do that little
thing, aud keeping his eye on US,
seated himself under the tree.
Then spoke this ugly farmer man
Just hold on thar, stranger, till
we get breakfast; then we'll come
aud see you! Ifyou are in a hurry,
however, you can 60 now! Watch
him. Tige!
We surmised trouble-quitc much;
for twice had that bold man of bull
dogs and agriculture elegantly VOL
loped innocent tourists for being seen
on his suburban premises. His
reputation as a peace man was not
good, and there arose a large heart
toward our throat.
Time is the essence of contracts,
and the saving ordinance for those
in trouble. We had q stout line in
our pocket, aud q large hook intend
