"What success in fshing2'' he replied:
Poor. IN consequence of the cold
weather and excessive rains / caught
but 121 trout aud one red squirrel"
Other questions led to the state
ment by him that, while casting his
flies at the end of about forty feet OF
line, he saw a squirrel swimming
across the stream, AM, from the inn
pulse of the In onent, made a cast for
it and drove the hook of the trail fly
through one OF its fore legs. AS it
was impossible to reel in the game
and take it from the hook without be-
ing bitten, he was compelled, much to
his regret, to drown it.
He has its tail in corrobora ton of a
queer fish story and evidence of his
accuracy in fly casting. He also
stated that this was the fiftieth con-
secutive year in which he had fished
for trout, and that his scores of all
those years, beginning with July,

CAPTAIN KING. THE NOVELIST.

Captain Charles King, the famous
novelist whose field is American regular
army life. has been in his day as mighty
with the sword as he is at present with
the pen He was born in Albany so
years ago and was descended from Rufus
King, the we'll known statesman of the
Revolution. He was educated at Column
bia college, New York city, and then
went to West Point. where he was grad
uated in June, 1865. He was drummer
boy in the war of the rebellion, and 4
years of Indian lighting on the frontier
have given him many interesting ex-
periences to draw from.
He entered the service as an artillery
man. but was afterward transferred to
the cavalry and was promoted to a cap
taincy. One Of the most thrilling Incl
dents Of his career occurred during the
Apache campaign in Arizona in 1874.
King, who was then a lieutenant in the
Fifth cavalry, was sent to pursue and
punish" a band Of hostile Apaches who
had driven off a herd of stock. In Kings
company was an Irish sergeant named
Bernard Taylor. After hard campaign
of several days the party divided tenn
