RIDES WILD MOOSE
FOR MOVIE FILM
Guide Risked Life in Leap From
Canoe to Back of Furious
Buck.
MAKES DEEP DIVES
When the celIulold Ribbon Was EE
hausted the Monarch Of the Woods
Was Left TO Its Own course-tield
on by Ears.

st. Paul, Minn.-"Bob," a Minnesota
guide, has performed the difficult feat
of riding a cantankerous moose
through the waters OF a northern lake
and lives to tell the tale. So does the
moose and so does a string of moving
picture films.
The little bay that was the scene of
this adventure lay crescent-shaped,
the two points curving inward toward
each other, so that the gateway out
to deep water was only a little more
than a quarter of a mile wide, One
of the points was a long sandpit bor-
dered by reeds and lily pads growing
in shallow water.
Here they lay in wait among the
shadows. Bob's plan was that one
canoe should head of the moose and
prevent his gaining the shallow water
and the shore. They were to drive
him out, if possible, through the water
gate, or at least to engage, him in a
long and muscle-wearing swim, and
when the right time came Bob plan
ned to approach in his canoe and per-
form the feat.
1t was with a thrill of excitement
that the watchers saw the bushes
sway inshore. and heard the snap of
dry twigs. Presently the moose ap-
peared muzzling among the reeds and
splashing along the margin of the
bay. He seemed to feel that all was
not as usual, for every few minutes
he paused and gazed around; but as
the canoes were down wind, he did
not scent the men, and seeing moth
ing wrong he dropped to feeding.
Cautiously, and with no noise. the
canoe glided out like a cloud shadow.
Every time the moose's muzzle went
under, the skilful paddler worked ST.
lently forward. and when his head
came up, the paddle paused, silver
wet, dripping and motionless. So the
canoe worked to within 500 yards of
