“MAGGIE

THE MAGNUM"

By S.SGT. EVAN PATTERSON

IN THIS instance our story does
not concern the usual merry making
“Magnum” of wine, it is of a more
serious nature and relates to a Smith
and Wesson Magnum revolver of
.357 calibre, the property of James
Bernard Tighe, well known guardian
of Victoria's city water properties in
the wooded area of Sooke Lake and
mountains. Jim and his “Magnum”
are inseparable and no matter where
you meet Jim you will find the
“Magnum” proudly beside its owner.
If it’s on the indoor range it sounds
like a “‘howitzer’’, but its a deadly
weapon in the hands of Jim. No
trespasser, man or beast, may tread
on Jim’s bailiwick without chal-
lenge.

Comes voting day and to the polls
must Jim and his wife go, but this
time, and with much regret, without
‘Maggie’ (as he calls his Magnum),
for ‘tis the law that no person, while
armed, approach within two miles
of the place where the poll for the
district is, unless called upon. The
inseparable “‘Maggie the Magnum”
which has continually accompanied
its owner for so long must on this

very special occasion be discarded, for —
Jim, a representative of the law him-
self, must set example.

Jogging along the way out to the —
Malahat to vote—the old bus cheer-
ily humming duty bound for the
poll had just turned a corner when
out bounded a large cougar and
ieisurely loped in front of Jim and
his car—my ‘Maggie’ roared Jim
to his wife, never was I placed thus,
and the blinkin’ cougar only 20 yards
ahead—'taint fair says Jim. He
nearly ran it down but the cougar
just turned off the road, got up on
a rock, and defiantly looked at Jim
and disappeared into the brush.

I'll get even for this said Jim and
to town he went for Behnsen and his
hounds and although they took trail
and gave tongue no sign of the cougar
did they get for it had rained a great
deal and the scent could not be fol-
lowed.

Returning that night to the house
Jim’s first glance was towards the
Magnum and murmuring ‘“‘Tf I only
had you today” disheartedly turned
into bed to dream of better days to
come.
