ssHe goes at it with ardor, rises early,
and wants to be off as soon as necessary
preparations are made. Frequently he
will run away, very early in the morning
before breakfast, while the other mem
bers of the party are still in bed. And
his luck in fishing is due to the fact that
he deyotes his whole time to it, as he
does to other things he tackles. He un-
derstands the habits of game fish thor
oughly, and takes as much pride in his
tackle as the most devoted disciple OF
Izaak Walton could desire. He knows
allabout tackle, too, and insists on having
everything just 80, and once he makes a
cast there is nothing in the world for
him but fishing. BE is never very talk
ative, and after he has settled down for
days sport with rod and line he be-
comes even more silent than usual. Occa.
sionally he will look up and gaze around
him, especially if he is not getting many
strikes, and make remark IN that sub
dued, thoughtful tone habitual with
anglers and hunters. When he gets a
strike he seldom fails to land his fish. He
is man of wonderfully steady nerve,
as the politicians have learned, and when
he makes o move it usually means some
thing. He is snever reckless or willing to
take chances with fish, bus plays him
carefully and skillfully, and when he
gets him just where he wants him 1t Is
