4 little spikes of horns that were begin
| ming to grow.
1t was while eludfng a coyote along
1 the Packsadd1e that he one day learned,
quite by accident, another trick that he
afterward frequently used to throw pur-
suing animals off the scent-by running
for distance IN the creek.
He spent the summer and winter in
| the hills along the Packsaddle, in the
summer going up as far as possible in
to the mountains to escape the flies.
Late in the fall he twice mad to run and
dodge to escape the shots of hunters.
The next spring he again crossed the
valley, and when summer came he fol-
lowed the snow line far up on the noun
tain above the Teton cation, near where
he was born.
Early that spring his little single
spike horns dropped off, and by the mid
die of July they were replaced by a pair
each branch of which contained two
spikes, from which he rubbed the velvet
during August.
He had grown large and strong, and
would no longer permit the other bucks
to drive him from a favorite browsing
place without first trying conclusions at
a clash of horns. Perhaps he was be-
coming too vain of his prowess as a
sell made deer and of his ability to
take care of himself. so that he became
little careless. He certainly was less
watchful than common one afternoon in
october While he was feeding only q
snort distance from where his mother
was shot he heard the same kind of a
sharp report that had startled him so
many times during his two and a half
years of life, and at the same time he
felt pain in his life fore leg, which
dropped under him. broken by a rifle
In spite of his crippled condition, on
three legs he ran like the wind He ran
for over 200 yards, until he was crossing
a slight ridge, when another rifle shot
rang out, and this time there was a
singing pain through his body, and
few feet farther on he fell, unable to
rise Just before he drew his last
breath the hunter approached. With
his great soft eyes Bucl1y looked up into
the face of his slayer, the same face that
had peered at him through the laurel so
long before-the face of the man who
killed his mother

ONLY TEMPORARY POSITION.

LONDON, March Id A. M.-Lord Ro-
berts remains in the neighborhood Of
Osfontein, while stores, rcmounts, and
the Cape. The British position continues
to improve.
Natal is clear Of Boers, and Cape Col
cay is nearly SO. The Beers, seemingly,
are pursuing the course commanded by
the strategists of the Boer army.
Various messages from correspondents
with Lord Roberts report that the enemy
are increasing continually on his front,
extending, as one correspondent wires,
eight miles, and, as another says, eigh-
teen miles. The lowest estimate OF their
number gives the Beers from 5000 to
10000 men, with smaller bodies moving
north and south of the British lines.
Each army is on both sides OF the
Modder River
Although the Beers have mounted eight
guns on the tops of kopjes and appear
to be too far away for inspection, the
/ British scouts report that they are dill
gently using pick and shovel
Military opinion is that their present
position merely screens more easllyde-
Tended ones deeper in the region. It is
suggested that Lord Roberts is quite
willing to give the Beers time to assem-
BILE all their men in order to deliver q
crushing blow enectively.

1t Can be Easily Turned i'll Each

OSFONTErN, March 3.-The Boer posi-
ton has now been fairly located as about
four miles to the British front and ex-
tending about eight miles. The Boer
right, on a high. long mountain on the
north side of the river, was shelled by
General French this morning.
Apparently the space between the
mountain and the river has been en-
trcnched. South of the river the Boer
lines cover more ground. A few days
ago their left rested on the high kopje,
standing in THE middle of the plain.
They have now been extended two miles
further South, while six small kopjes
stand in the plain between the centre
and the left and between the centre and
the river and form ridge, behind which
the Beers move unseen. The weakness
of the whole position, however. is that
it can easily be turned in either direction.
