toward him. He knocked the fellow
down with the FIRST shot, and n rust
ling caused him TO turn, and he saw
another deer. lie started In pursuit,
but She deer got away. MIR. Fish
turned TO retrace his steps, when he
saw another deer MS he supposed, adj
yanclng toward him. Another shot

let had entered the bnck and come out
OF the jaw. lie took from his pocket a
small knife and cut It's throat, when
the deer landed both hind feet on his
back aud knocked him down. Mfr
Fish was dazed. his knife gone, and he
didn't know where his gun was. Then

royal. The deer had enough life left
to kick, and lie landed many a hard
one on Mr. Fish before that man. by

The deer weighed only eighty
pounds. and Mr.. Fish said, when h
