KIDNAPPED BY A TARPON.
The Adventure of q Small Boy Who Went
Fishing In Louisiana Bayou.

The Adventure of q Small Boy Who Went
Fishing In Louisiana Bayou.
The little son of the agent of the South
ern Pacific company, stationed at Bayou
DIES Allemands had an adventure one day
while fishing for the gay and ever biting
catfish. The little fellow was out in the
river in fiat bottomed boat, and while
handling his line suddenly became aware
that something out of the ordinary was at
the other end of it, The line, which he
was holding rather slackly, became appar-
emily alive, and in moment was whiz-
zing through his fingers as if Old Nick
himself was on the hook. The boy endeav-
ored to stay it's outward flight, but to no
purpose, and he had the satisfaction of see
ing the end reached in quick order. For
tunately for the remainder of the story,
the end was securely fastened to the boat,
and as the line tautened out the little
craft began series of maneuvers on the
surface Of the river, and the boy, becom-
ing alarmed at the unusual occurrence,
yelled for assistance
The craft went on with the flood In the
one end the boy on the other powerful
something or another, which, content
with giving a sample of it's skill as a head
on propeller, kept it's bulk hidden beneath
the water. And still the boy kept on yell
ing and the boat a-going, until several
men on the bank of the bayou hearing the
cries, embarked in skiff, and, armed with
a steel harpoon-they had been there be-
fore-started for the boy and the boat and
the something another, still under the wa
ter, but occasionally breaking the surface
as if it wanted TO fly. When the rescuers
reached the flying craft, one of them seized
the tautened fish line, sententiously re-
marking, "Grande ecaille," began to
shorten in, and in about five minutes Of
hard work had brought the capture along
side, where it began cavorting and plung-
