A LONE FISHERMAN.
Tranquil Fishing, Donkoybaclc, II la
Tears of Adventuro Round.
"The picture of man a4ttlrj(r oo a
burro in mid-stream, ia the heart of
the southern Sierras, mllna from any
where, has nothing- remarkable in it,"
said the naturalist; "but when you con
sider tlio burro as asleep, and the rider
holding a fishing lino with one hand
and a well-thumbed copy of QMIpus
with the other, which ho is reading
through clouds of smoke from a well
filled pipe, the soc tie takes on another
phase.
"Such a man I met one day in the
great river of verdure known as the
Arroyo 8000, that winds away from
Los Angeles up through the San Gabriel
valley, entering the Sierras at Pasadena
and for mires passing through a region
of varied delights.
" 'Senor ,' I began.
M "Sebastian,' he replied, without
looking up.
"'Seucr Sebastian,' I continued, 'I
regret, In the&e solitudes, to be oblig-xl
to inform you that yon are infringing a
patent right of mine.'
" 'How so?' retorted Senor Sebastian,
glancing up from the book, which he
now dropped into the pocket of his cor
duroy 00 at.
" 'Ia this: I was the originator of
fishing on horseback.'
" -AhJ said the senor, 'you may be
tho inventor, but I am the improver,
see And for the first time I noticed
that the Hoe was fastened to a hole in
the tip of the burro's, ear. 'If you have
ever observed.' said the fisherman, 'the
habits of the burro, or we will say bis
head, you will have noticed that the
ears are always moving back and forth.
It's just the motion I want m fishing,
so I adopted It, and see'
"As ho spoke the line stiffened out,
t4 burro's ear, or, to be exact, his
right ear, bent forward suddenly, and
the burro himself awoke with a start
" 'Watch him,' said the fisherman.
Tlio burro's eye had first settled on me
in an inquiring way, then realizing
that something was tugging at his ear,
be drew the member tip to tho horl
routoJ, at which the trout, for such it
was, left tho water with a bound, and
in its return drew the ear down again.
The burro now tuemed to ooncentrate
all hU energies in the oontoct, aud thu
t.r gravitated between the upright and
the horizonUiL "Yqu aee,' remarked
Senor Seboliau again, 'tho burro plays
the fish, and I,' suiting the action to
the word, 'pull him In. And, with the
air of the philosopher ho wan, the
Npeaker unhooked tho tfout, dropped it
into a pocki't of his coat, and having
impaled a fretihvrorm and cost the line,
t'te fisherman felt for his (Bdlpua, and
tho burro foil asloep.
" 'I deem It,' continued tb senor,
after rolighting his pipe, the privilege,
if not the duty, of man to tako life at
tho normal angle, or as near it as poi
sibie in other words, take solid com
fort I have seen the hard side of it
right in sight of these mountains. 1
came here forty years ago, when tho
whole country was a sheep ranch. I
walked across the Mojave desert In An
gust, and I see now they find men dead
who have tried it Yes, I was after
gold and td venture, aud got both.
" 'It came about In this way,' and the
senor, gvttiug no further bites, rolled
up his line and Joined roe on tho trail
up the arroyo. . 'I was living in Santa
Ke io the fifties, trading mostly, and
one night a man rushed into the saloon
where I was and said a man was dying
and wanted to see a priest I was a
Catholic and the next best thing, &o I
went along. You know where the old
palaoe is to-day in ganto Fef Well, ho
took me down a street back of that,
and In an old ndoNs I found a man, a
half broed, with death In his face. lie
had been stabbed in a brawl an hour
before, and was so near gone that I
didn't have the heart to tell blm I was
not a priest. lie sent the others out
of the room, then bade me lock the
door, and with his mouth to my car
told me to remember what ho tulc He
hod been a bad man, had killed sev
eral men, and wonted to do something
to expiate his crime, so told his socrot
to tho church. He told mo to pull oil
his bolt, which I did, and in it was
a row of some of the biggmt chunks
of gold I ever sa- la this coun
try. In another part was an old plea e
of shoupskiu, and on it a mop, rude,
but good enough, of these very moun
tains. He said that he and two others
had discovered a valuable placer in tho
mouth of a canyon where you could
pic! up pUco like thoeo, and confessed
that lie hod killed his partner to gut
control of It alb Tho murder vma
done on the dosert at Coyoto 'lprlng-
and after ho had covered the bodies io
tho band ho tWtoi buult to the plucer.
He, got there at night Sold ho: '1
don't know how it happened, bnt tho
nest I know I found myself in a herd
er's cabin, and ho said he found me
erMX-PJl ibedj;sprt.fc I p.$.better and
I never went brtck to the place, but i
want to leave the gold to the church.
I took the map, theu wrote down the
directions, aud to prove hi story he
told me where he had burled the menu
ard made ma promts to erwt a cross
ovr them.
"'Well,' continued the senor, after
n short prtuao, 'the man died, and a few
days Inter I Blurted for the Sierras
across the deserk 1 found the place
where the bodies were, as It was near
witter. I didn't waste much time there.
but pushed on, and in three days, as
near as I could reckon, was somewhere
near tho spot. Tho map called for sev
eral mountains to be in a lino, then the
mouth of a canyon, marked by a big
sycamore; and there were other direc
tions. My friend, to make a long
story short, I'm hunting that placer yet,
and if there is one, from Mojave to
Warner's ranch, that I don't know I'd
like to see it That was forty years
ago, and I've made up my mind that
the man was mad That he had killed
tho men there could be little doubt,
but the placer must have been in his
imagination. Hut hero is my shanty.
I'll show you tho map.
"The shanty was a rough board af
fair set back against the mountain, and
so partook of its general color that it
might have been paused unuotiocd by
the stroller up the arroyo hod it not
been for the score or mora of white
beehives scottered over the space. In
front of it, from which rose an ominous
humming. The shanty contained but
two rooms, ono a kitchen, tho other a
library. The sleeping room was out of
doors when it did not rnlu. The books
were few, but to the point, their selec
tion telling of a man of taste; and con
spicuously hung on the wall, In au old
lookingglarft frame, was the gold seek
er's map.
" 'You can have half tike output if
you can find tho pluoer,' said the own
er of the map.
"Tho map wos on a piece of sheep
skin, carefully drawn in what had been
red ink, and bore the appearance of
having been made in good faith.
'"Xo, I don't got lonely here,' said
the old man in reply to my question!
'there is plenty of company of a de
cided variety. I generally sleep out
yonder in a hammock swung between
two trees. 1 like plenty of air. and
one night I awoke, as one will some
times, feeling that some one is around.
I kept perfectly still, and soon heard a
step as soft as a cat could make, then
another, nod then two fiery eyes looked
Into inlno. My rlflo was in the houso,
so I waited. The animal soon turned
and walked off, and a fow moments
later I heard, a rushj then 4 scream In
tho corral. I ran for my rifle, and got
back In time to hear something leap
into the bush. I found my burro
badly wounded, his side cut and torn,
but 1 believe to this day that ho kicked
the mountain lion over the fonoof ho
was equal to it We trailed the lion
the next day, but lost it up the canyon.
" 'Boars frequently come down and
try conclusions with the becs. One
night, hearing a loud noltjo, I went out,
rifle in hand, and there 6tood a big
grizzly not ten feet away, in tlio moon
light, looking twice as big as ho wa&
Ho hr;d a beehive under ono arm, and
was brushing bees cfi with tho other.
The moment ho saw me ho began to
growl, aud I wasted no time, but let
him hove It Just whero X thought tlio
heart was. lie dropped ou all fours and
mado oif, nud 1 fired suverul timed. And
to bliow tho U'tiacity of bear life under
difficulties, we found the animal the
nest day ilvo hundred yarda away up
the side of the canyon dead, with a ball
through his heart I have known them
to go even fnrUicr with the heart Mown
to pieces.'

Moht animals have at leatt one fehurp
seutHj. A dog and a cat, according to
the fable, lay in a dark room. "Hark!
1 heard a feather drop," uiid the dog.
"Oh, no," aid tho cut; "it was a
needle. I saw it." Whatever may bo
true of domesticated horM-s, the wild
horse of the South American pampas
possesses a most acute and far-reaching
Bcnte of smell.
Mr. Hudson, buys Youth's Compan
ion, Bpottlcs of It at a common occur
rence for tlie horses of a dlstrlot, in
seasons of drought, to migrate suddon
ly to some distaut plaoj fifty uillos
oway, perhups where rain has fallen,
A slight brveae from that quarter is
enough to set them oil.
A still more striking phenomenon is,
he ays, familiar to every frontiers
man. ,
The gnucbo horse has the greotest
terror of an Indian Invasion, and long
before the marauders reach tho settle
ment often when they are still a full
day's Journey from Ur till tho horn;
take the iilarra, and come flying wildly
in. Tho horned cattle quickly feel
the contagion, and a general stampede
ensues.
Tho gauehoH declare that tho hordes
smell tlio Indians, and Mr. Hudeou be
lieves they are right. When puling u
distant Indian camp, from which tho
wind blew, all the horses driven bo
fore hiin have taken fright aud run
away. '
