Returning h"me from n hunting trip, Edgar H. H. Maynard oj.' 51 Cold- water Road, and his brother Albert Maynard of Mimico, met with a strange adventuiv hal. way 'letv.'een Gravenhurst and Bra. (.'bridge in the small hours of Tuesday morning. Ma- kipg their way lowai'd.; Gravonhurs., s 150-pound deer leaped fror.i the righe hand side of the road, landed fairly on the front of the Chevrolet sedan they were driving ar.d turne," a complete somersault on the L 1 .": hand side of the road. Mr. Kdfinr Maynard, who was driving, had no warning before the imoact octL.red and did not know wh-t it was until he srw its white till, as it toppled over or>to the highway Mr. May- nard's brother, who was asleep at the time, was awpkened by the terrific force of the collision, and at first was at a loss to know what had hap- pened. The car was brought to a standstill as quickly as possible, and Edgar Maynard, leaving his brother to hail an approaching car, went back in search of the animal, with revenge more than sportsmanship uppermost YOUNG PEOPLE Take this road to a GOOD POSITION -j Use The Advance Small Auvts.

Armstrong and Son f Pnone I 3w FLESHERTON in his mind. Luckily it was a moon- light night and he found the place where it had crossed ba^k to the right side of the road intj a gravel pit, from whence it had evidently come, just prior to the a:cident. Mr. May- rard soon came upon the deer ana discovered that both its front legs were broken; but despite this it led him a merry chase down the first em- bankment into a pit below, where it dropped, completely exhausted. The hunter ws close behind all the way. and at this opportunity he got the big fellow by the horns, then callel for help. His brother Albert had suc- ceeded in stopping a car, which prov- ed to be a party of hunters from near Bairie. but before they could get to the scene i f the trouble the buck had arot hi:: sivoml wind and started to fij;ht. Freeing himself, he began to make off once more, but Mr. Ma..-- nard, who had by this time visions ol a battered in radiator :ind head lamps, pot to mention skinned knuck- le-;, was euually determined not to lei the guilty one escape. He made >. leap i'<v- the door's horns and barely held him long enough until his bro- ther and the other huntsmen arrived to finish the deer with a knife. In a businesslike fashion they cleaned it just where it lay (perhaps Mr. Maynard wanted to make sure the deer would not begin his capers anew). Mi Edgar Maynard had shot t fawn buck, and could not legally keen this sudden gift that had been thrus upon him. at his own expense. How- ever, this problem was easily solved, for the rescue hunting party had bag- ged no deer. Mr. Maynard gave them his fawn buck for their share in the capture and kept the big fellow that had cost him so much effort to take. Upon examination of the cai it was found that the radiator was smashed so badly that the motor would not run. Both head lamp* were shattered and bent backwards. besides both fenders being dented and the bumper broken. The hunter* who aided the Maynards towed the wrecked car into Orillia and went hoiiK- with : deer, after all. Mr Maynard says that he does not advis anyone to go hunting that way b ai-'o. It is far too expensive and at. the same time dangerou.5. A wife may worship her husban '.. '>".t she -.hould not place burnt offer- ings gefore him. I BATES BURIAL CO'Y.
