SOME FISH AND SOME FISHING 



by fire, and the moving picture people in 

 Los Angeles saw a great opportunity to stage 

 a scene for "Civilization" called "After the 

 Battle." "Shorty" represented a dead 

 French soldier being watched over by his 

 faithful dog. The widow appears searching 

 for her dead husband. She sees their dog 

 and falls fainting upon her dead spouse. 

 Pard objected to this and the battle began 

 again. The dead French soldier was obliged 

 to sit up and stop the fight. The film was 

 a failure. 



Pard can see a swordfish at a great dis- 

 tance, and whenever I was hooked to one 

 would sit up beside me and attempt to tell 

 me how to fight the fish and became greatly 

 excited when the fish jumped. When a fish 

 was gaffed he played the "Chocolat act" by 

 rushing about all over the boat attempting 

 to do nothing. 



For intelligence and common sense Pard 

 has few equals among canines. He is almost 

 human.
