DOG CAUGHT BURNING FUSE
ricked t Sliest wf DruaHt mm4
CTaaeed Masse Ttraik the
Weeds.
That one's best friend Is at times l.kely
to be his ruination Is no better exemplified
than ia my own case, wherein, while hunt
ing in BrKlah Columbia, with bo other
companion than my faithful dog. I came
nearer to losing my life than ever before
I was la Mas with seme gf my
friends near ths little tows of Movie and
on the shore of the lake of the sunt name.
One seldom finds so perfect a spot for all
kinds of wild game and at the same time
the waters are Inhabited by the gamest
fish that ever angler trolled for.
One brlgnt afternoon, with my dog. I
went some distance la a small Indian ca
noe and anchored at a point where Instinct
told me schools of pickerel might gather.
I threw out two lines and. picking up
the anchor, began to troll up and down ths
little bayoa. but without any startling re
sults. 1 was convinced there were plenty
of fish m this part of the lake aad could
not understand why they did not connect
with my lines. Soon patience ceased to be
a virtue, sty canine com pen ion, always
with bis eye oa the jobber." seemed tired
also ot watching the corks riding the small
waves, but never disappearing quickly, as
the true fishermaa likes to have them
fade out of view. I hauled la my lines
and rowed the canoe back te the camp.
II would be more than aa hour before
the other members of the camping party
would return and I much disliked to quit
for the afternoon without even a single
trophy, so 1 hit opoa another and entirely
different plan. J decided te fores things.
1 had often heard cf exploding sticks of
dynamite tn the water as a means of catch.
teg large quantities of fish in a short time,
and no sooner had the Idea recurred to me
than I was off for the town te equip my
self with enough dynamite for the experi
ment. I secured several large sticks and
hastened back to the canoe to begin oper
ations. Te each stick of the explosive was 1
attached a long fuse, so constructed that
one could drop the dynamite twenty orj
thirty feet Into the water, light the fuse
aad the fire would cre-p down through a!
powder-filled tube throu-h the water to
the stick of dynamite at the bottom.
My first experiment 1 decided te conduct
from the shore, so that I could have a
chance te run behl&d a tki bowlder after
lighting the fuse to esoapn Injury. Bo I
tied the shore end uf the fans te a stake,
lighted it and threw the tlck of dynamite
aa far Into ths water tjt the fuse would
permit.
So soor.er had I throws It thaa my dog.
true ts aa old habit, leaped tnte the water
and swam te the point where the stkk ot
explosive sank out 4 sirkt. I wns almost
stricken with frig-ht. There was but one
course, and that to retreat. I ran like a
rabbit, and. gating backward, saw my
spaniel running toward me with the fuse
ia Us mouth aad dragguid the stick of
dynamite, little more than a man's length
tram where be held the fuse la 1.1a teeth.
The fuse was burning with great rapid ly,
the dog Insisted on keeping up with me and
a terrible explosion was Imminent- Fud
denly. with great presence rtf mind I
picked up a stick of wood and threw It
toward the lake in the hope that tiae dog
would drop the fuse and dynamite aad gi
after ths wood. Sure enough, this ts Just
what bs did. but the moment he drtpd
the fuse and Just as he was headed for the
lake the dynamite exploded the moment
he passed ever It aad blew the poor arO
mal Into stoma.
I was throws violently to the ground by
the force of ths explosion and was all hut
killed. I believe I nave never fully re
cevered from the shock.-Chit age Tribune.
