Now there was not much trout-lishing in
the neighborhood whore my grandfather
lived. In fact 30 one knew where there was
any trout except one old man, the landlord Of
the tavern. lie would take his horse and
wagon, drive off before daylight, and come
home with fine string of fish. He never
would tell any one where he went, went
one day day and said TO him, confdentialy /;
" Mr. Dickey, want TO catch some trout
Can you tell me where 10 go 2"
why" he said, "go up along Bull brook,
and you'll find some"
knew 10y the way he said IL, that he was
not telling me where he went. Still made
up my mind would GO to Bull brook and
try there. Bull brook was about three miles
from the village, with not single house for
miles around. 1t was lonely place full of
thickets, and was called Bull brook because
great many cattle were pasturcd about there
Early in the morning | started off with
my pole which being iointed could be car
ried very conveniently. trudged along the
road, which kept winding and growing more
and more lonely and dismal, on account Of
large heech-trees and poplars and gloomy
looking pines which grew aloug the side Of
the road, and almost shut out the sunlight

but | whistlad a lively tune, and marched
on bravely.

thing was so still that felt rather nervous,
and almost expected to see a fierce bull rush
out upon me from somewhere. Crickets

bottom of the shallow brook, No, on closer
inspection that was not bull-frog 1t
couldn't be a fish, for fish swim around, and
this little dark thing was lying quite still on
the bottom.
Just then, while was wondering what it
was, o grasshopper, which had jumped by
mistake into the middle of the brook, went
kicking along on top Of the water. In an
instant there was CLEAN just where the
grasshopper was swimming, and before you
could say Jack Robinson" the grasshopper
was gone. was no longer in doubt about
