to shoot him as he went back under 
the log. 
FTER dragging him out in the 
open we were admiring him when 
my wife wanted to know where all the 
blood on my face came from. The 
only place I knew of was from the lion, 
but it was all scratched up and I knew 
the lion didn’t get that close. 
My wife still claims I ran over a’ 
tree. If I did, I don’t remember it and 
I didn’t slow up. He measured eight 
feet four inches. I have a rug made 
of the hide. With another big one 
located, I am going to try to bring him 
in alive if I can get someone to open 
the door!

that wife determined to stay in camp 
while I tried conclusions downstream 
in some choice spots that I had fished 
the previous year. Coming to a deep 
hole below a rapid, where the whole 
river rushed through a fissure in the 
rock scarce four feet wide, I dropped | 
a coachman in the eddy below. A 
flash. Away went the line, singing 
again, and away the trout tore across 
the pool and back. 
Everything was in my favor until 
he darted under a submerged stump. 
Then I reeled in my line. But a few 
inches of the leader were left. 
“Bad luck,” I grunted, replacing the 
leader. I started on downstream to re- 
trieve my fortunes. 
The greater part of the day was 
spent on the next couple of miles and 
though I caught a number of fair sized 
fish the large ones proved wary or they 
were not hungry.

recall that I sold the silver fox skin 
for $180, and the dried beaver skins 
brought me $2.00 a pound. I took 
many other journeys across the west- 
ern plains of America and Canada, 
but this was the longest one I ever 
tock. I am told that much of this ter- 
ritory is now covered with wheat 
farms and is traversed by several 
railroads and many auto roads. Well, 
it was a good country when I went 
over it, but that was a long time ago.
