One day. a short time after the abovc'
conversation, Dick Hay wood was sitting
on the bank Of the river that flowed
past bis home. at no great distance from
the house
He was occupied in q fsyorite pas
time. that of fishing. and il seems al
most wonderful what an amount Of pa
ticnce and perseverance the most rest
less Of boys possess when engaged in
watching and waiting for bites. which
only attack the face and hands by in
Vulnerable mosquitoes. and never seem
10 interfere with the bait which floats
idly in the water under the very noses
of the fishes who pass and rcpass it in
utter disdain.
Suddenly a loud splash a short DIS
lance down the river attracted his al
t%ention, and he glanced in that direc-
ton just in time to behold a young man
draw in n large bass. which seemed to
his excited imagination rs though il
nigh: weigh a dozen pounds out OF the
wafer. q
"Crackcy" he exclaimed, using his
favor.tc expression. "he's got the boss
place for fishing. / just wish he'd take
me in the boat with him"
And A. il divining tho boys thoughts,
the young man turned ut that moment
and caught the wistful expression on
Dicks face. ..
1.-THE fishing is better out here" he
called. would you like to come in
the boat?"
II guess ! would, answered Dick,
drawing in his line and preparing TO
Join his new acquaintance.
The young man rowed TO the shore.
and when they were waiting for bites"
Dick, allowing his curiosity to get the
better o. him, asked:
"Do you live about here anywhere?
l don't knows I've seen you afore."
I'm stopping in the village a few
days. and it's lonesome business when
N isn't acquainted. / like boys. and
! hope you'll have good luck fishing.
Here. take my line; I'm tired. and Til
sit still so that | won't $ are your fish

This generous offer won Dicks heart
mt once, and he Wa ready 10 meet any
requirement his new friend might do
mand.
"You seem 10 be pretty well &C
guainted about here" began the Young
man, cautiously. Are YOU acquainted
with the new heir of Dunsian Hali?"
1.-The what?" asked Dick, with his
whole attention directed toward a man..
moth bass that was swimming tantaliz-
ingly over his baited hook.
"Mr. Earl Dunstan, the master of
Dunstan Hall?"
Him as is coming ter live al the
half" asked Dick.
1.-THE same. DO you know him?"
