FIRST CLASS FISHING.

THAT Is the place we must go. SAID
Edith, as her father read aloud an ad.
vertisement of summer boarding place.
"First class fishing is what we want"
"Oh, poohl You girls won't put
line in the water, and have to stay
here oil week days" grumbled her
father, putting down the newspaper
which his daughter had given him.
But, papa dear, you can fish Satur-
day afternoons. Do please take us to
this place, Willowcreek, " coaxed Agatha
and Lily.
I'VE will enjoy the quiet, and get
the roses in our cheeks again, as you
said we must, after last winters dissi-
patton" added Edith.
Finally Papa Andrews was convinced
that his gay daughters pined for
quiet summer resting place, and Aunt
Clara, who cared for nothing so much
as ON easy chair and novels, was easily
persuaded that there was no place SO
conveniently near, so select and prom
ising of comfort, as the village of vii
lowcreek. Her nieces managed her,
and she chaperoned them unobtruslve-
ly and obediently.
The elaborate costumes which these
young women found necessary to take
20 the secluded village would have sur
prised any ono not acquainted with
their plans; but could one have heard
a portion of their conversation on tho
morning before they showed that ad-
yertisement to their father the ward
robes would have been explained.
"Willowcreek Listen, girls; that's
the place Alice Wall found her million
aire. She says the best men go TO tish-
Ing places, the quieter the better, so
they can lounge around and dress as
they please. We will go TO Willow
creek and try our luck, said Edith.
''At fishing" added Agatha
''And we will take plenty OF bait

shoesl" said Iily.
So they went, and they found that
their boarding house was "a mile from
the village, and contained no other
boardeis but themselves. This was a
cruel disappointment at FIRST, but at
supper they learned that there was "A
camp OF fishermen only mile up the
creek. awful tlne folks from town,
with two men TO cook and work for
them. said Mrs. Cracken, their land
lady. There were also some cot
tagers" down on the bay, mile the
other side of the villagers.
I'VE won't trouble the cottagers,
said Edith. as the sisters discussed the
situation.
They learned. further, that some OF
these gentlemen went down TO the vii
lage nearly every day, and that they
often stopped at the farmhouse TO or

prospect seemed much brighter aftel

graduated themselves ON being Mrs
Caeken's only boarders.
