At. length he saw before him a huge tree, uprooted by the wind and lying on its side, though the main trunk was he‘d some inches from the group by the broken branches.

The crack of the rifie rang sharfiy on the stillness of the woods, but Selton looked through the smoke, no deer was visible. 5 He hastened to the spot, and was gratified at the sight of blood on the léaves, and a:so saw where the woundâ€" ed animaul had made off. Eagerly, but cautious‘y, he pressed on through the woods, and at last came again in sight of the animals. Carefully creopl;\;lwith.in range, he aimed at a spot ind the fore shoulâ€" der of the buck, and fired. So Selton took the rifie and ammuniâ€" tion and followed the game alone. To his great delight he found that, after running a quarter of a mile or so, the deer had again begun to browse, still, however, keeping on the move. But his companion had no desgire for further tramping, and expressed his intention of returning to camp by the shortest route possible.

Selton was in despair; but he tried once more, and was rewarded by Selton‘s heart had been in is mouth, but no time was to be wasted. He turned his head and gave a low whist‘e, then glanced at the buck. The animal had not noticed the sound. He whistled again. But presently the buck became unâ€" easy. Perhaps he faintly scented his enemy; perhaps instinct told him his family was in danger. At any rate, he raised his head, surveyed the woods around him, and with a slight sniff, struck the ground sharply with his hoof. Then he moved a littie nearer the top of the slope and paused again, his fears apparentiy _ somewhat quieted. _ The latter was in a quandary. He dared not call to his companion, and yet, if he gave no warning, Yateman would cither remain away so long as to allow the deer to escape, or would approach carelessiy and frighten them off. However, as they gave no signs of leaving the hiliside, ho conâ€" cluded to wait. Fortunately the_w;n:i ts w;; Â¥ from them, and they had not heard Selton‘s foqtsteps. ! Finally they separated, Yateman wishing to explore, with the rifie, a thick belt of trees to his right, while Selton kept on down the little ravine in which they were at the time. He had gone scarce a hundred yards when in turning a bend in the gulley, his eyes took in a sight which caused him to drop flat on the ground in an. instant. Just ahead, and a trifle to the left, was a gentle slope covered with low bushes, and over these showed the backs of five deerâ€"a noble buck, three does and a halfâ€"grown fawn. They walked together for some hours, keeping a sharp lookout, but there was no sign of game. Both were tired and disappointed; but being ardent hunters, were not yet ready to give up the search. So, instead of proceeding as usual to the bank of the stream, the two friends ascended to the hiliside and punged into the forest. ‘| _fFom Yateman and Fulmer Selton i were two of those who in the early »days of the California gold discovery | were infected with the desire for sudden weaith, and who took their _ way across the plains toward the , land of promise.

During extremely warm weaâ€" The former has since kiled many deer; but he will never forget that one moment of his life when he felt the horns of the wounded patriarch of the Feather River. It was dark when they returned to camp, with the buck hoisted upon the shoulders of two of the men. It was duly divided, Selton and his partner receiving the choicest portions. The news of the kill was soon comâ€" municated, and a party of eight or ten, delighted at the prospect of venison steak, set off with Selton to bring in the game. l Beilton quickly leaped the fa‘len tree again, and then sat down to regain his composure; for, experienced huntâ€" er as he was, his whole frime was shaking. He knew perfectly well that if the deer had struck him fairly the blow would have been a disab.ing one, and that then the anima.‘s sharp hoofs ‘ wo%d have made short work of him. his nerves had regained tholrJ usual steadiness, he secured his prize to the limb of a tree and started toâ€" ward camp, which he reached just as the men were leaving work. To his great gratification, the rifie cracked, and the animal plunged forâ€" ward upon the ground, mortaly wounded. But Selton was trembling so from his recent encounter, that, fearful of missing altogether, he changed his aim to the animal‘s heart. Even then it was some seconds before he could conâ€" trol the direction of the barrel suffiâ€" clently to warrant him in pulling the trigger, which he did with some fear of a second missfire. f :Avoiding Heat Casualties. _ His rifle had fallen from his hands on the other side; but by creeping close to the log, and quickly reaching his hand under it, he recovered the weapon, which he immediately reloadâ€" ed and brought to bear upon the head of his adversary, who was still standâ€" ing defiantly in his place. i Before the enraged animal could strike again, Selton had rolled over the trunk upon the ground beyond, where, the buck being unable, with his broken leg, to mount the barrier, he was effectually protected. Selton gave a spring, in the desperâ€" ate hope of clearing the trunk behind him, but only succeeded in falling heavily upon it. However, the motion saved his life. Instead of several of the deer‘s prongs K:ercing his body, only one struck m, that inflicting a deep scratch on his left shoulder. w At the same instant the buck jungâ€" ed forward at him. But the weapon was ready cocked, and he swung the muzzle in line with the deer‘s breast and pressed the trigâ€" f"' But, to his horror, no report ollowed. ’nga and revenge glared in his eye. With his shattered leg hanging limp, and his desperate intention plainly visible in his attitude, the animal was a spectacle to daunt the heart of the stoutest hunter. Selton was, for an instant, paralyzâ€" ed with fear. Then his presence of mind returned. He had no time to. turn, the tree behind him prevented a backward movement, and he knew that if he attempted to put his gun to his shoulder, the motion would be fatal I And he leaped the trunk, his rifie ready in his hands.. As he struck the ground the wounded buck rose up at his very feet. But it was no longer with the intention of flight.
