Show Could Not Shoot Doe. Thero is n "dry" doo in tho woods of Price county, Wis., which owes hor llfo to tho fact that sho Is not afraid of a light. This sort of deer Is occasionally occa-sionally found by Jack-hunters, but not often. Two men went out after deer along tho north fork of Flambeau River last week. Thoy wcro using a flat-bottomed boat, heavy and clumsy, and ono of them drove It with a polo. At half past 10 o'clock thoy sawr a buck. That Is, thoy caught a glanco of his oyo as ho slowed his head around and looked at them over his shoulder preparatory to leaping to bank. Ho started In half a second and tho powerful carbido lamp showed Just enough of him to oxposo his horns as ho wont. An hour lator they rounded a bend and tho doo stood In full vlow. Sho wns In primo condition, fat and sleek. Sho was not moro than twenty yards distant and throw her head up and glared at tho light as soon as it camo within range It Is posslblo that tho brightness of Its rays blinded her. Tho wind was blowing from her to tho hunters so sho could not Bccnt them. Tho man who was poling dropped tho long polo, sat down nnd took up tho paddle. Tho boat continued to advance and tho deer to stand still. It cropt on foot by foot and sho bo-trayod bo-trayod no nervousness. Now and then sho thrust her noso far upward, turned turn-ed her head to ono sldo and expanded her nostrils In tho effort to sniff tho hcent of tho approaching pnrty, but flight did not occur to her. Tho boat got within twenty feet of her, then within ten feet. Another stroke of the paddlo and it would havo boon upon her. Then sho turned turn-ed toward tho bank and wnlked slowly slow-ly away. TyIco sho stopped and looked look-ed back at the light; onco sho stop-pod, stop-pod, gathered a mouthful of wator-grass wator-grass and chowed It. Still at a walk, nover hurrying oven Into n slow trot, sho wont up tho bank and disappeared. disap-peared. All this timo thero had been a man sitting with a high-power rlflo Just behind tho light. Ho wanted deer ' meat badly, and could, of courso havo blown a holo through tho animal If ho ho had been so minded. In fact, ho could havo knocked it down with tho guldo's polo which lay In tho bottom of tho boat. Ho Bald afterward: "I could not shoot. Sho was a vory beautiful animal, standing ro-Hoved ro-Hoved in tho strong light so that ovory musclo showed. Sho 'looked straight at mo with hor lustrous, largo oyos, that wero not frightened, but merely inquisitive, peering Into tho great lamp to seo If it contained anything harmful or useful to hor. Sho could not seo mo, of course, as I was 'in tho black shadow behind tho light, but I could hardly persuado myself that I was unseen. Killing that deer would have been simple murdor." Tho man got back to camp at 3 In tho morning, without a shot fired, but ho says that ho felt better for a cloar consclonco. |
