lowed by q Deer.


The shores of the great Lake Cheian,
In Washington, one Of the most pictur.
esque and remarkable bodies of water
in America, abound in game. In some
places the lake Ia so narrow that a deer
may swim 1t. A paper published at
Chelan, at the foot Of the lake, tells how
q young man named Alan Royce recent
ly made the capture Of a deer In the
water.
Royce saw the deer from the shore.
swimming across the lake. Though the
chase seemed hopeless, as he had no
gun with him, Royce got into a boat and
rowed after the animal. He soon saw
that the deer was making better time
than he was, but, in the language OF
yaohtsmen, If he could not outfoot the
pointing it.
30 he rowed across the course OF the
deer, forcing the creature to waver.
Then he rowed so as to cut off the new
course; and after a while, by heading
first one way and then another, he
came alongside the frightened creature,
and with a quick movement seized 1t
by the tail.
Thoroughly frightened, the animal
swan faster than ever, and made
straight for the shore. Royce got into
the bow Of his boat and held fast to
the tail; he was drawn through the
water much faster than he could have
rowed.
Meantime his pursuit of the deer had
attracted the attention Of Mr.. j. A.
Green on the shore. Mr.. Green got a
rifle and came out in another boat tn
meet them. Coming quite neal he fired
at the deer aud killed 1t, ending the
spirited chase. 1t turned out to be .
very large and ane buck.
