Him.
In the early days of Alabama fans
Tly of Johnsons lived few miles from
Decatur. Two of the boys, Ben and
Billy, became famous hunters in that
region. They were deep in all wiles OF
woodcraft, and had many a cunning
scheme to secure game.
at different times they captured does
when quite young, and after raising
them so as to thoroughly domesticate
them would bell doe in the mating
season and turn her loose. She would
nuite frequently be followed back to
the house by several bucks. The bell
gave warning of the approach, and the
brothers would then lie in am bush and
shoot the bucks.
Once they captured male fawp and
reared him to stalwart buckhooG. He,
was splendid fellow, as gentle as a
kitten and more useful than dog, forl
he could be belled in the mating season
and would find doe every day, which
The brothers would shoot in the morn1
ing. One morning Ben heard the bell
put on the mountain and started to find
At. On coming in sight the buck was
seen by the side of a fine doe. The
hunter killed her and stepped forward
30 skin and dress the meat.
He had always been in the habit of
proceeding in this way and, apprehend7
ing no trouble whatever, neglected to,
reload his gun. Approaching his game
so as to cut her throat and bleed her, he
was hindered somewhat by the buck.
He gave the animal an impatient push
and was in the act of laying hold of the
dead dear, when the live one made a
vicious lunge at him with his horns.
Ben was taken by surprise and the
beast tumbled him over the carcass, but
as the buck returned TO the charge he
sprang up and received it with courage.
Selling the animal by one horn, the
hunter began cutting at him. He could
not reach vital part, however, and
meantime the brute was wildly dashing
through the underbush, bruising John-
son's body and occasionally goring him.
The hunters case was getting quite
desperate. The Infatuated brute, with
horns and hoofs, had nearly stripped
johnson. The strange antagonists
both had numerous wounds and were
covered with blood. The deer jerl1ed
loose at last and made an awful plunge.
johnson sprang behind a sapling and
the deer's horns encircled it.
The hunter instantly seized both
horns and held the deer with mis- nose
10 the ground. This gave the man
slight advantage, and yet he could not
let loose with either hand so as to use
his knife, for the mad creature con-
stantly lurched and plunged back and
forth.
The best he could do was to hold to
the bucks horns until the creature
would become exhausted from the loss
Of blood But Ben himself was now be-
coming weak, and ne began to call for
help. Billy heard him, and, hurrying
to his assistance, found Ben and the
buck nearly dead. He cut the bucks
throat and released the deer hunter

ever oGcupied.-American Rural Home

and he would be quite surprised to see
him. Then there was a lively little
woman behind Mark Hazard and just
separated from him by two very
idiotie-appearing young gentlemen of
the genus dude; trim, polite figure
in brown travelling dress and nobby,
brown turban. She had a peculiarly
sunny smile and friendly twinkle of
eye.
One of the tall-collared young men
somehow dropped his cane and the
next moment she had slid up beside
Mark Hazard, as the cane was being
recovered. Then Ned BrOwnell espied
Mark Hazard, and exclaimed:

And his pretty charge cried:
There's my little mother, and she is
nearly swallowed up by the crowd"

side as a musical voice greeted him:
ITO think you and have been riding

and that neither knew that the other

brown travelling dress was rafting on.
"Why," was all he could say.
Then the little lady caught sight of
Ned and his CGS-n-cis and she cried:

Mark Hazard was too taken aback to
speak Tor a moment and he seemed
greatly puzzled as he caugh. sight of
Ned and Ned's companion pressing to-
ward him. The young lady with Ned
was of a striking resemblance to the
merry companion at his right, whose
tongue was going so fast he did not
know what she was saying-something
about: bee being with the Lyons"
'Wrote you l would be here too I'VE

will like her because she Is like her
mother"
But the truth soon dawned upon him.
This young lady with Ned was the
daughter of whom he had been told
when he first met her mother at Jack.

1t had never occurred TO him that
she could be more than schoolgirl;
but then, his sweetheart's first unhappy
marriage was a very early one. And
Ned was il love with her. Those
letters he wrote, where were they? he
asked himself. He jumped at the
right conclusion about that to Ned: it
must-did-come 10 the other address
when its intended receiver was on her
happy way there.
There was a merry meeting of the
quartette. and Ned said that ne never
