Jock Dodge, the noted Lanwboro

had a queer adventuro while llshlng
for suckeis In the- liver near the Cas

a boat, when he saw eomethlng swim
ming a few rods above him. Ho
thought it vvns a mink, but when he
got within a few vatds ho saw It was
a wildcat. Without stopping to think
ho cast a line toward the unlmnl. Tho
hook caught In the- cnt's eats and It at
once- swam tow at d the boat. Dodge
paddled awav, but the cat overtook
the boat and pioeeeded to climb In.
Jack knocked the animal on the hend
with the paddle, and the cat capsized
tho boat Then there wnf a llirht in
the water, and the flshermnn defended
himself so well with the puddle that he
leached shore The wildcat followed,
hut a few well directed blows killed
him. Jack lost his entire outfit, but he
will get $J bounty for the hide of the
wildcat.
