Most iternarkiaile Deer Story.

;a bright, diamond-like spark. Nothin
more could be seen. "It may be the e
i , `• of a deer, and it may only a drop of W

Idartin to steady the boat, 1 sunk my eye
Itwell down into the sights, and holding
for the gleam amid the marsh-giass,fired.

,;fog, made all murky before me, While the
explosion, striking against the mountains
on either side, started a dozen reverbera
tions,
so that we could neither see or hear

waiting in , silence a few moments, hoping
'• to hear the deer "kick," without any
"-such happy result, I told Martin I would
go ashore to load, and see what it - was I
bad shot at. He paddled forward, and,
• seizing the tall grass, while he forced"the
, 4 fr.bout in against the bank with his paddle,
I clambered up. Being curious to ascer
- rain What had deceived me, I strode off
• 'lnto the marsh some forty feet, and, turn-
iiig up the jack, lo! and behold a dead
deer lay at my feet. "Martin!" shouted
I=° I, "here the deer is, dead as a tick!"
"Thea—i i" exclaimed the guide from
re,. ',the fog.-
"What did you say ?" again I shouted.
"I said I didn't believe it," returned
'afaridn soberly.
, "Paddle your canoe up here, then, von
", old skeptic, and see for your self,' I
. rejoined, taking the deer by the- ear and
dragging him to the bank. "Here he is,
a monster too." Martin did as di
rected, "Well," exclaimed he, as he un
. bent his gaunt form from the curve into
-*hich tivo hours of paddling had cramp

Ipovement at m) feet, and, casting my
i.i.i.a:Fyes downward, I saw that the deer. was

losing sight of the .connection: such yeah ,

a rapid changeln many respects—of body
as well as 'mind! When I got hold_ of
that deer'sleg, 'I: were mentally full of
pluck and hope; nip• hunting coat, of
Irish corduroy, was whole and tightly
buttoned. Now, mentally, I was demon.
alized, every button was gone from the
coat, and the right sleeve hangdiscon
nected with the body of the garment.
The jack had been jerked from nry head,
and lay a rod off in the marsh grass. I
could hold on, no longer. I would make
one more effort, one more appeal. I dio: -
"Martin," said I, "aren't you ever going
to get out of that boat?"
The heavy thug of the boat against the
bank, an explosive. and sputtering noise
which sounded very much like the word
"damn" spoken from between shut teeth,a
splash, a scramble, and then I caught
sight of the gaunt form of Martin, paddle
in hand and hunting knife between his
teeth, loping along toward me, through
1 the tall, rank grass. But, alas! it
was too late. The auspicious moment
had passed. My fingers one by one loos
erred their hold, and the deer, gathering
all his strength, with a terrific- elevation
1 of his hind feet sent me reeling back
ward, just as Martin, doubled op into a
heap, was about toilight upon his back.
I He missed the back, but, as good luck
would have it, even while the buck was
1 in the air,—the deer going np as Martin
came down,—the fingers of the guide
closed with a fall and desperate grip upon
1 his taiT. Quick as a flash I recovered
myself from the bogs, replaced the jack,
which fortunately had not been extin
guished, upon my head, and stood an inter
ested spectator of the proceedings. Now
everybody knows how a wild deer can
jump when frightened; and the buck, with
Martin fastened to his tail, was thoroughly
roused. The first leap straightened Martin
out like a lath, but it did not shake him
from his hold.. If the reader has ever
seen a small boy hanging to the tail
board of a wagon, when the horse was
at full speed, he can form a faint ilea of
Martin's appearance as the deer tore like
a whirlwind through the tall grass.
Blinded and bewildered by the light, free
led with fear, the buck, as deer often
will, instead of leading off, kept racing
up and down just within the border of
light made by the jack, and occasionally
making a bolt directly for it. 'My posi
tion was unique. I was the sole -specta
tor of a series of gymnastic evolutions
truly original. Small as the audience
was, the performers were thoroughly in
elizziest , Had there been ten thousand
spectators, the actors could not have laid
themselves out with.greater energy. No
'applause could have got another jump
ontof the buck or another inch of hori
zontal position out of Martin. When
ever, at long internals, his feet did touch
the ground, it was Wily to leave it for an
other andhigher aerial plunge. Now and
then the buck would take a long stretch
into the fog and darkness, only to reap
pear with the same inevitable attachment
of arms and legs streaming behind.
When the contest would have ended,
what would have been the result bad it,
continued, whether the buck or the guide
would have come off the winner, iris not
easy to say. Nor is it necessary to epee
ulate, for the closelt'as speedily reached,
and in an unlooked-for manner. The
deer had led off some dozen jumps out of
the circle of light, and I was beginning
to think that he had shaken himself loose
from his•-enemy, when all at once he
emerged from the og with Martin still
streaming behind , and made straight
for the river. Nev r did I see .a buck
vault higher or project himself farther in
successive leaps. The Saranacer vas too
much put to it to articulate a word; only
a series of, grunts, as he was twitched
along, revealed the state of his pest.up
feelings. Past me the deer flashed like a
feathered shaft, heading directly for the
bank. "Hang on, Martini" I screamed,
sobered by the thought that he-would
save him yet if he could only, retain his
grip---"hang to him like death!" He did.
Never did - my admiration go out, more
strongly toward' a man than it I did to
ward Martin, as red .in the face :and un
able to relieve himself by a single ex
pression, he went tearing along at a
fearful rate in full bolt for the river.
No one men in fifty could have
kept his single-handed grip, jerked, at
the close of such a struggle as me Saran.
acer had passed "through, and twitched
mercilessly as he now was being dragged
through tWiall bog-grass and over the
uneven , ground. But the guide's blood
was up, and nothing could loosen his
clutch. The buck reached the bank, and,
gathering himself up for a desperate leap,
he flung his body into the air. I saw a
pair of widely spread legs swing .wildly
upward, and the , red face'of Martin, head
downward, and reversed, so as to be
turned directly toward me by the sum
mersault he was turning, disappeared
like a waning rocket in the fog overhang
ing the river. Once in the water, the
buck was no match for his foe. I hur
ried to the edge of the bank. Beneath
mei and half across the river, a desperate
struggle was going on. Martin had
found his voice, and was using it as if to
make up for lost time. In a moment a
giugling sound reached my, ears, and I
knew that the deer's head was under the
water; and Shortly, in answer to my hail,
the guide' appeared, dragging the 'buck
behind bins. The deer was drowned and
quite dealt-44'0m' "Adventures In the
