LOST HIS FISH.

One OF the Pathetic IncideDts In an
Anglers Experience.
Private Sampson was spending his
first summer in Montana, where he had
ample opportunity 20 indulge IN his
favorite sport oftrout-fishing. One AFT
ernoon, says the Youths Companion,
he had been unusually successful, but
just as he was setting out for camp
with heavy string of fish he caught
sight Of a great pine which had blown
down and WAS lying with its top in the
water; just the place for hooking a
monster trout.
He had been fishing mp a deep and
rapid mountain stream, the banks of
which were thickly grown with BRAN
bles and service-berry bushes, among
which he had TO thread his way, his
rod in one hand and his heavy string of
fish in the other.
Pushing along to the fallen pine, he
climbed upon it by dint of hard scram-
bling, holding on as best he could with
both hands full The tree was close 10
the bank, and the stream was boiling.
He was in the midst of the branches,
crowding onward. when suddenly, just
over the roaring torrent, something on
the other side of the tree rose up close
behind him-an immense she-bear, with
her cubs beside her.
There was no time TO hesitate. To
run was impossible, and she was COM
ing toward him, growing savagely.
On the impulse of the moment Samp-
son dashed his string of trout full in
her facet In SO doing he lost his bal
ance, and the next instant there was a
tremendous splash and he disappeared
in the boiling water.
He emerged some distance farther
down the stream He scrambled to the
bank and looked back. There on the
pine sat the bear, mtently watching
the hole where the man had disap-
peared.
Sampson did not go back to inform
her that ne was not there, but made foT
camp at good speed.
