was soon rewarded, as almost immedia-
ately the old stOvepipe began to spout

The flow of fish ceased as suddenly
as 1t had begun. and then an explana-

sued the minnows that furnish their

they expected TO profit by a feast off
one or possibly two carcasses when

might perhaps have attacked the en-.
gagged bucks, but were afraid of the
man.
AT last one of the bucks was ex-
hausted and beaten. He lay on the
ground and his conQueror stood over
him, himself quite exhausted and suf-

victorious buck soon discovered his
