PROLOGUE.
and at last his whole body was con­
vulsed. Turniug to his companions he
held up his hand and waved them back
toward the end of the line.
The men understood the signal, and
moving back some twenty feet they
took np the wire and, placing it over
their shoulders, braced themselves and
stood awaiting further orders.
Soon Buck gave a wicked twitch at
his line, uttered a wild . whoop and,
springing to his feet, ran to where his
pards, bent nearly double, were scratch­
ing gravel in a vain endeavor to climb
the sloping bank and haul in the line.
On reaching his men Buck gave sev­
eral bull teamster yells, bestowed a few
vigorous kicks on each and then, seeing
that no progress was made, he himself
fell in and took the line over his shoulder.
After much hauling and whooping
the line began to move, but a moment
after something gave way and the three
Pikes fell flat upon their faces. Soon
they arose and stood gazing at one an­
other, their faces the picture of disap­
pointment and mortification. At last
Buck's face brightened somewhat, and
signing to his men to hold onto the line
he went to the edge of the lake to inves­
tigate. Ho hauled in his plank float;
then getting into the edge of the water
he pulled in the remainder of tho line.
Holding it aloft he showed tho hook
straightened out and the bait gone.
The other Pikes went down to tho
water's edge and each in turn examined
what had been on tho hook. One of
them then made a mark on tlie beach
with his foot, stepped off about six
paces and made another mark. All
three stood looking at the marls for a
time, when the second of Buck’s pards
marked about two feet farther. With
a sneering expression on his face Buck
took np two cobblestones, and placing
them some twenty-five feet apart turned
to his companions, who gazed first at
tho two stones and then at Buck in the
greatest astonishment. Buck gave an
affirmative nod, and apparently that
settled it; the faces of his companions
cleared up at once.
The Pikes came up to where we were
seated, when Buck broke the silence by
saying; “Gents, I own that I'm aston­
ished. Tliare air a catfish in that lake
that it would be wuth any man's while
to ketch. He's almost like one of the
ole Massissippi cats. He’s got a wagon
load of meat in him.”
Altogether it was a very creditable
piece of pantomime, and there was no
saying that the actors had not earned
another treat.
Meantime I sauntered down to where
Buck had been seated and saw the piece
of flannel shirt that had been on the
hook lying just nnder the water. In
hanling in the wire Buck had cunningly
planted his foot on it, thus straightening
out his hook and stripping off the bait.
A very creditable piece of pantomime.
Last summer I made one of a party of
“millionaire Comstockers” wbo went
over to Washoe lake on a piscatorial ex­
pedition. The fish there to be caught
are principally that species of catfish
known in the Atlantic states as horned
pouts or bullheads.
“Knight* of the angle" of the present
day are apt to turn np their noses when
mention is made of bullhead fishing.
Generally, however, when a man goes
out after catfish he sinks ail artistic
feeling—he goes in for “meat.”
It is an easy matter to catch catfish.
You have only to procure tackle strong
enough to draw them out of the water,
using a hook according to the expected
size of your game. The size of the cat­
fish ap[>ears to be a good deal regulated
by the size of theBtream or lake in which
it is found. The larger the lxidy of water
the bigger the fish.
As already stated, we were a small
party of Comstockers, and were at
Waslibe lake more for “meat” than
sport. Of course all fishing is to some
extent satisfying to man’s inherent in­
stinct for the capture and slaughter
of all wild creatures of land, water and
air.
We had strewed the shore with several
score of bullheads when we saw ap­
proaching us throngh the tales border­
ing the. lake three men, who by their
dress and lack of lioth coat and .vest
appeared to lie ranch hands employed in
the neighborhood. The men seemed to
be merely strolling about in the enjoy­
ment of a half holiday, as they Carried
neither guns nor fishing tackle.
The trio had probably sighted our
tent and wagon from afar, and knowing
from previous pleasant experiences that
all true fishermen fail not to go forth
well provided with.the wherewithal to
counteract the bad effects of an acci­
dental wetting had resolved to pay us a
friendly visit, in full confidence that the
rights of camp hospitality would not be
neglected by our party. At all events,
the trio, moving in Indian file, marched
up to our temporary camp pitched on
the margin of the lake, and g eeted us
with three stentorian "helloes!"
Their greeting having been duly an­
swered in kind, it was next in order to
bear in mind the social amenities and
uncork the “hospitalities" of the camp.
It soon became evident that no one of
the trio had ever been whipped when
young for holding his breath. They
showed themselves to be willing and ca­
pable men.
All were stalwart fellows of six feet
to six feet fonr inches in height, and all
were big jointed and rawboned—not an
ounce of superfluous flesh from head to
heels. All wore beards of the billy-
goat style, all were shaded by huge
sombreros, and all were somewhat
above middle age; also were as much
alike as three candles cast in the same
mold.
At first our visitors were somewhat
backward in speech aud manner, bnt by
the time they had made some progress
in the congenial ta*k of testing the sev­
eral kinds of liqnid provender with
which tent and wagon were stocked
their tongues were loosened; they felt
quite at home.
Presently the tallest and apparently
the oldest of the trio said the sight of
catfish made him feel young again.
"Bnt. fellers,” said he, “1 don’t much
keer to fool with sich ornery, wuthless
little tadpoles as you’ve been ketchin.
I’m from ole Missouri, I am. Down
thar, when yer ketch a catfish, you’re
a-layin in pervisions.
When you’ve
hooked yer cat yon jist take yer line
over yer shoulder, hump yer back, march
inland and hanl your meat ashore. It’s
jist as easy to ketch big catfish as little
ones if thar's any big ones about; it all
depends on the size of the hook and the
bigness of the l>ait. Why, back thar on
the old Massissippi I could gauge the
sise of the cat I wanted to an onnee jist
by the proper regerlation of the hook
and bait. Now, fellers, jist yon watch
me. Ef thar’s a catfish in this lake as is
wuth a cuss I’ll ketch him.”
“Yaas, fellers,” said the other Pikes.
"Buck, lie’s a cuss at fishin; you just
watch his motion. He'll show yer how
to ketch cats.”
With a face as sober as that of a New
England deacon, Buck went np the hill

wire. This he dragged down to tho
edge of the lake, and tnrningup one end’
of it made a hook about two feet across.
Going down the shore a few rods he re­
turned with about half of an old red
flannel shirt, which he fastened upon his
hook for bait. Next, he got a piece of
plank about six feet long and fastened it
upon his wire line for a float. This done,
he took up the plank and launched hook
and all out some two rods from shore
with a tremendous plasli.
"Never mind me skeerin away yer
little winners,” said Buck to our party;
“you’ve treated us like full grown white
men and now I'll soon ketch you snthin
wntli while—that is, s'posin thar's airy
rale old Massissippi cat in this ’ere frog
pond."
Buck then seated himself ujion a little
hillock of tules and ;.azed out at his
float with a comically -,‘rions look of ex­
pectation.
The other Pikes—for all three of our
Visiting brethren hailed from the land
•f “Joe Bowers"—gazed approvingly at
what had been done, saying over and
over: “That's the racket! Buck's got
the true old Massissippi business!"
Presently Buck began to show signs
of nervousness. His eyes rolled, his
face twitched and his arms shook. His
two pards crept near him and with their
hands upon their knees stood gazing in­
tently at the float. Buck laid a finger
on his lips wamingly. Then handing
his line to one of the men he extended
both hands as far as' he could reach,
showing that he had got a nibble from
a fish at least six feet in length. This
done he again laid a warning finger on
his lips and resumed his line. Not a
word was spoken and the faces of all
three showed signs of intense excite­
ment.
Soon Buck's eyes again began to ex­
pand, the muscles of his face worked J
CHAPTER I.
THE STORY OF THE FIRST FIKE.
77ie wild Miteouriaiu live by catching
catjleh.
This bit of impromptu pantomime
ended, we expected to see the Pikestake
their leave. But no such thing.
All three seated themselves comfort­
ably before our tent, and ‘’borrowing'’ a
little tobacco they filled their pipes.
After smoking for a time Buck opened
out on a new lay.
“Gents,” said he, “you see it don’t
take me long to size up the cats of any
place that I throw my hook into. I wur
born on the bayous of the Massissippi,
down to the south end of ole Missouri,
nigh to tho Arkansaw line. I've been a
catfish ketchur all my born days.
“Down thar whar I wur born every
Second soli was turned loose in the woods
to shift for himself ’bout as soon as he
wur weaned. They had so many chil­
dren down thar that they didn't keer to
raise more'n ’bout half of ’em. What
was done with the extra gals I never
found out. Wheu the extra boy was
big enough to run alone they put a new
breechclont on him, hung a bunch of
hossliar round his neck, tuck him down
to the river bottoms and tnrned him
loose to root, hog or die.
“The woods along up the liver for fifty
miles above the Arkansaw line wur full
of wild Missourians of all ages and sizes.
After the first breechclout wur worn
out all went naked, and scon they wur
covered with a coat of liar as long as the
beard of a goat. If the jieople ever
wanted any of the wild words breed
they sot a trap for ’em, ketched 'em,
picked ’em clean of the extra liar, put
clothes on ’em and set ’em to work.”
“Why,” asked I, “did they give each
boy a bunch of horsehair when they
tnrned him loose?"
“Waal, because the jieople down thar
are tender hearted like, an not one of
’em would turn a child loose 'thout
given him the means of makin a livin.
The hosshar were for makin snares.
Out’n the hosshar they tuck and mado
snares to ketch catfish. As soon as a
Missourian is weaned he begins to snare
catfish, and so pervidesmostof his livin.
He strikes out for the river jist as a
yonng duck makes for tho nearest pud­
dle.
“Wheu they are turned loose to run
with the woods breed they take up with
some drove of the hairy ones that is led
by an old buck and so git good trainin.
Each drove makes its nest in a big hol­
ler sycamore tree or log; then turns to
and lives on the fat o’ the land. They
eat the roots of the yearth, the fruits of
the trees, sich as roots, berries, paw-
paws, persimmons an<l the like, while
for meat they have the fat cats of the
ole Massissippi.”
“Do parents often take their children
back to the settlements?” asked one of
our party.
“Parents don’t trouble theirselves
’bout whose children they git. When
they want any they go out into the river
bottoms, set a trap and ketch ’em. I
wur ketched time o’ the war. Then
they 'bout made a clean sweep of the
woods tribes. They wanted all the men
they could get, so sot traps all round
the bottoms.
"I'll never forgit the time when me
and two others wur trapped. We wur
out in the woods diggin roots when all
at once we smelt a new smell. It wur
sich a good smell that all our mouths
began to water. We slobbered like so
many hounds. What it could be that
smelt so fine we did not know. We
tnck the scent nnd follered it up on the
keen run. In ’bout a mile we come to a
queer lookin little house. In thar was
the stuff that smelt so good. We dived
in and began fillin ourselves with the
good smellin stuff, when down fell a
door and we wur caged.
“Yer see, gents, wheu they wanted to
ketch up any uv us wild Missourians,
they made a pen just like a bar trap,
baited it with corn bread and sot it.
When the wind wur right one of the
woods breed could smell corn dodger
nigh on to three miles.
“Waal, when the trap fell we tore :
round like mad, but couldn’t escape. I
Long ’bout sundown some soldiers come i
and tnck us out’n the trap. They tuck !
us and put us inter the upper story of a
blockhouse ’bout fifty feet high. Thar
they left us in the dark.
“Waal, we soon seed that ef we had a !
rope we could git away. So then we be­
gan pickin ourselves—pulling out the
long har that covered our bodies—to
make a rope. It wur an awful sore job.
After all of us had been clean picked
we tried the rope and found it ’bout ten
feet too short. Then I told my two pards
that they might take har enough out’n
the top of my head to finish the rope.
They tuck the har, and in less'n ten
minutes we wur all at liberty.
“Now, gents,” said Buck, “as some of
yez may think I’m lyin ’bout this busi­
ness, I’ll jist show yez whar my mates
got the har -to splice out that rope.”
Then taking off his sombrero Buck
showed that the whole top of his head
was as smooth as a peeled onion.
“Waal,” continued Buck, “after we
got out’n that thar blockhouse we cut
and run for 'bout five hours acrost a
stretch of country we knowed nothin
about, for we wur lost when we struck
inter fields and fenced ground; besides,
we thought all the houses we seed wur
blockhouses.
“Bein now naked we had to keep
movin to keep warm, so we traveled as
fast as we could all that night. When
the sun got up we sot on a bluff bank
above the blessed old Massissippi, that
seemed a mother to us. Thar we enjoyed
the sun like so many turtles on a log.
“As wo sot on the bluff we looked
down ui»n the river and thar on the
side next to us we seed a goodisli sized
catfish laying a-sunnin itself near to
shore. The cat wur ’bout twenty-five
feet long—too big fur to snare—so we
looked about fur some other way of
ketchin him.
“A few hundred yard above we saw
a big rope stretched across the river. It
wur a ferry rope, but then in our wild
state we didn’t know as it belonged to
anybody. We went up thar and tuck
the rope, no one bein ’bout thar. One of
us had to swim the river to cast the rope
loose from a tree on the opposite side.
We’d got’r have the rope because it had
on it at one end a big iron hook.
“Next we wanted some kind of good
live bait. While lookin ’bout for bait
’long comes a little nigger boy drivin a
cow. We ketched him, and lashin him on
to the hook floated him down, swimmin
like a frog, to whar the big cattish wur.
The cat snapped the little nig up like a
flash and swallered him down.
“All hands of us tuck the rope over
our shoulders, and makin a dash inland
hauled the big cat high and dry. We cut
the fish open at once and tuck out the
little nigger all alive and kickin. When
we unlashed and turned him loose he
went off as limber as an eel, an the fust
thing he did was to hunt np his ole cow
and drive her along jist as gentle as if
we hadn't had the loan of l)im and used
him for a few minutes. He had but one
little tooth ¡park on his back.”
“Was that the biggest catfish yon ever
caught?” asked one of wtr party.
Buck eyed the man for a moment,
and then asked where he was from.
“From Tennessee, just across the
river and a little below where you got
your big fish,” said our man.
“Waal, as for catfish,” said Buck, “you
can ketch ’em in the Massissippi of any
size you want. It depends altogether
on the size of the hook and the bait.
With a full grown nigger—but, stranger,
it wouldn’t look well for me to "take up
case she was compelled to arop cieveu
years ago. This time she was admitted
by Judge Brooks, who is now on the
bench. -Tharfore the sun do move.”
