to Josiah. By this time the boy had stum¬ 
bled to the edge of the pool. 
“Git out of my way!—I’m goin’ to make 
him come!” squeals Josiah. “Don’t do 
that!” Nick roars in warning. “Wait till 
I get the net!” I yelps. But Josiah paid no 
attention to us. Gripping thfe pole he ran 
madly back from the pool and dragged the 
big, bronze beauty a safe margin from the 
water’s edge! Throwing his “pole” 
toward high heaven the kid sprawled on 
As the kid sprawled on top of the flop¬ 
ping fish he crowed like a rooster 
top of the flopping fish and grinned up at 
us in triumph! 
I told you I d ketch him!” he wheezes. 
^Can you beat it?” says Nick to me. 
“Not in a million years,” says I. 
When we dragged the kid off the trout it 
was suffocated. We had to cut the hook 
out of its mouth! It weighed five pounds 
and four ounces. Josiah, like the little 
thoroughbred he was, insisted on present¬ 
ing us with his catch which we refused. 
As the three of us stood there gazing 
down at the beautiful creature whose crim¬ 
son spots were fast fading, Josiah cracked 
i broad grin and says: 
Gee, I m glad he didn't bust my line, 
cause it’s the on’y one I’ve got!”

ust same as if up close; pull trigger so 
low you don’t know when gun shoot,

■ut the ram got up very slowly. The next 
ne missed, but the third was instantly 
ital. The remaining four got up, looked 
round to see what had happened, and 
.ood still until we got within fifty yards 
f the fallen ram, when they made off. 
he ram was a Fannin, having horns 3 SJ 4

It was now two o’clock and I was very 
red and thirsty. Billy had urged me dur- 
g the day to travel faster and I had done 
,y best. When this did not satisfy him 
reminded him of what he had said about 
s dog. The incident was this. One 
gening, after a long day’s travel on the 
ill, Billy’s little dog was lving down 
deep and Billy soliloquized: “Wish I like 
■dog, travel all day; sleep anywhere; no 
Unket; get up and go.” I told Billy that 
‘White man could no more travel like an 
man than an Indian like a dog, and that
