cle Robert’s promised hunting story
for which there were loud calls

a short story .
"It was a long time ago, my dears,”
said “ old Unk,” getting upon his
feet like a spritely youth of sixteen;
“ way back in the lost centnry; ami
I must be brief as possible, not to
keep these good people with us too
late.
I was a sturdy youth ot
eghteen, about to leave the old farm,
for the city high school, and the
wide, wide world beyond. It was a
September raid-afternoon, and I, the
ouly man about the place, it being
Saturday, and father aud my older
brother having gone to the city
that morning, nnd I having attended
a quilting frolic the night beforo,
was having ‘a day off,’ to sleep and
rest up; but it so happened that my
dog, Gelert, and I were out for a
walk through the fields at the time
mentioned, and were returning,
when not far from the barn I saw
coming up through the lane, nnd
iDto the field, and right at us, on an
easy gallop, an immense buck deer.
Both Gelert nod I were astonished
at hi» audacity, for he came at us so
straight; if I bad not swung my hat
and yelled, he might have run over
us. At my command the dog stood
still, and Mr. Buck sailed -past us
not len feet away. He way a splen
did. beautiful animal, with horns on
his head like a rocking chair. Then
I told Gelert to “ go for him,” and
away they went over an elevation
out of sight, aud resuming my way
toward the barn, never expected to
see that deer again.
“ Presently I heard a furious bark-
iog over the bill, and went back to
see what the matter was, and soon
coming in sight saw the deer had
turned upon the dog and was giv
ing him battle.
He was in a little
swail or swampy place not yet clear
ed out (for the farm was a new one)
between two Urge trees which had
fallen across each other making a “V ”
shaped pen, with Gelert standing
guard at the opening, raising a
furious racket- while Mr. Buck
was shaking his horns and mak
ing savage plunges at bis as
sailant.
Aa I ran down the slope I
gathered up half a dozen stones as
big as my fist—all I could hang on
to, for there were plenty there, nnd
jumping upon one of the logs, I
rushed into the fight. Wbeu Gelert
saw me coming to the rescue he
sailed in and grnblied the mad
dened animal by the nose, only lo
be to flung into the air, while I —
having spent all my ainnuition —
every stone bitting the buck some
where, jumped off the log and seiz
ed him by the horns, only to be Hent
flying after the dog, but we both
rushed in again. Uncle Robert say
ing to himself, "W ell, Old Cnap, if
you’re not going to run away, we'll
have you.”
“ We had a big tuaHe, the dog at
hia nose and I at hia horns, and
looking out for his trick, he was
not able to throw us aside, and we
soon bad him down.
As there was
about six inches of water in the
swail, I rooted his nose into it with
inteDt to strangle and drown him.
Tbon he struggled to his feet and
scattered us abroad a secoud time,
spouting blood and water like a
whale, for Gelert had chewed bis
nose up pretty well by this time. I
hadn’t even a jack knife in my
pocket, or weapon of any kind,
only my fists and feet, and main
Ktrength in deadly conflict with that
mad animal, so I began to lo ok
around for a club. I found one of
oak about three inches thick at the
big end nnd running back on one
of those logs standing above, gave
him a terrible blow across the
shoulders.
Then I battered his
nose to pieces, but on accouut of
his great branching horns, could
not get a fair twipe at his head.
Finally I thought of his legs, and
two good blows broke two of them
and we got him down at last, never
to rise again. I then straddled his
back and plunged his nose into the
water again. He still had strength
to refuse to he drownd, but made
no effort to get up, with two of
his beautiful legs broken, nnd as he
seemed inclined to give up the con
test, I laid hiB head across a bog,
and standing astride of our victim,
at last got in a square solid blow
down between those
branching
horns across his forehead and that
settled the business.
There was
just room for mr club to make this
death blow, and as he now lay quiet
I gave him enough more to dash
out the animal's brains. It was full
time, as Gerlc t nndl wero about as
near whipped as might be, and both
of us, a sight to behold.
I went
into the fight in my shirt sleeves,
having on a vest, pantaloons and
boots
I came out of it with my
clothing in shreds, covered with
water, mud and blood, and my
faithful dog was perfectly willing
to lie down and rest, and quench
his thirst with the muddy water of
our battle field. The house was a
good half mile away, and leaving
Gelert on guard, away I rushed to
get a butcher knife wherewith to
cut the dead deer's throat. I was
not gone long, but was in the
house long enough to frighten
mother out of her wits by shouting,
“ Mother!
Mother!
Where’s the
butcher knife!
I've killed a deer!
I ’ve killed a deer!” And getting my
eye on the carver, I grabbed it and
ran.
I found Gelert with his eye on
our quarry, and he had good rea
son, for it had been our joint fight
wherein the mad animal might have
killed either of ub , but for the oth
er,- and alone perhaps neither
would have succeeded in captur
ing the game.
He was a monsterous animal.
After I hail cut his throat and
disemboweled him, I could not get
the carcass out of that swail alone,
but by this time my brother hav
ing returned from the city, and be
ing informed by mother of my ad
venture, I pood heard his shout,
which being amwered, he was not
long finding me, whereupon we cut
the creature’s ham string, slung
the carcass on a pole and lugged
it in with Gelert strutting along be
side the procession with his tail in
the nir.
I sold that bucks pelt and hind
quarters in the city Monday for a
five dollir bill, and so my day after
the quitting, proved profitable af
ter nil.
And this my dears and friends,
is the only veniton I ever killed,
though on and before that time I
hud carried a rifle huudreds of
miles through the woods, and some
times shot at them, but they were
always on the move, having seen
ms first.
“ A true story Uncle Robert,
queried the President
“ True as you and I are here, ray
hoy, and I have a prong of oue of
that same deer’s horns with me now
in Oregou, though this adventure
took place many years ago, 3000
miles from where I tell the story.
I made a cane of that stout oak
club, and lost it the first time I
wore it away from home. Didn’t
need a cane last century any more
than now.”
Within fifteen minutes silence
reigned in and about, the dark, de
serted school house, and as the
crowd betook themselves to various
trails, I linger long enough to sav
to my readers, “ we will see you all
agnin next week.”
