OLD BossY Dotted ON FISH
Cow Feasts on Anglers Prize Salmon
and Tops OF Lunch With Trout
He Flung at Her.

The angler could cast a fly, and had
caught trout in the south Of England,
but had never so much as seen a sal
mon river. Great was his joy, there
fore, when one day he received an in
vitation to fish one Of the most famous
spring salmon rivers in the north Of
Scotland, relates the Field. In the
very first cast that he tried he hooked
and landed his first salmon-a ten
FOUNDER.
The first salmon is always the most
perfect and beautiful that ever was
seen, and the angler reflected that if
he carried his fish in the bag all day
it would dry and lose its lovely sheen.
On the top Of the brae there was a
marshy nook that would answer his
purpose admirably. He deposited his
treasure in this nest and, having COW
cred it with a thick layer Of rushes,
went on his way.
The rest Of the day he caught moth
ing except a half-pound trout. Still
he was very happy and content as he
turned homeward, and whistled mer-
rily as he approached the marshy
nook. But there he found a Highland
COW in the act Of consuming his sal
mon, of which little remained except
the head and the tail. In his anger he
flung the trout savagely at the COW,
hitting her fully in the face; but, so
far from taking ~offense. she seemed
rather to think that he had brought
her bonnie bouche wherewith to com.
plete the feast, for, after gazing at him
for q moment with the innocent, con.
fding eyes of her kind, she contentedly
swallowed the trout.
