THE FISHER MARTEN.

and without Fear.
The fisher marten deserves to be
much better known than he generally
is. IL only on account OF his own good
opinion of himself. his wonderful cum
ming and shrewd intelligence.
Que OF the largest and handsomest

about three feet i'm length. with a slim,
vigorous body, the fisher will travel

bounding lightly up into the air. with
his nose turned up i'm order to catch
every Whit of scent. outwitting other
animals and the cleverest trappers and
making himself at home wherever he
happens to ind himself.
He generally chooses as his hunting
grounds the thickly covered hills and
ridges where the hemlock and spruce
grow In abundance. but he Is as much
at home ON the tree tops as on the
ground and can sleep as soundly In a
low hollow OF a tree as on n branch of
a fir tree. where he will lie stretched
out in the sunshine like any old cat.
As for fear. he does not know what
II Is. He will not only face but ac-
tually kill a Canadian porcupine and
does not even appear TO mind the
quilts which penetrate his body. He

clever enough to steal her cubs while
she goes of on some little expedition
of her own. while instances have been
related OF the fishers in the Rocky
mountains even killing young grizzlies.
AS for man. he appears to laugh at
him and his designs for trapping wild
animals. He will pull marten trap
open and take ont the bait. whether
alive or dead; he will tear pine mar
ten or mink to pieces in no time and
carry II of or drag the trap over some
rough projection In order to spring II
and make OF more often than moi
without having received as much as q
scratch.
But perhaps his cleverest trick. wher
he finds a trapper is following his
trail. is to get behind the trapper and
follow his. so that while the uncon
scious trapper is walking after the
fisher the fisher is keeping completely
out of danger by following the trap
per. Many n useless mile has the
trapper walked in this manner. and
many good bats has he lost by th'
very same shrewd. cunning animal hs
