times l imagine l shall grow worse

TWO GUILTY COMsCIENCEs.

A Danbury youth went trout-6sh-
ing the other day and ventured to
drop a sly line into a posted brook
Soon the approaching figure of the
owner doomed up in the distance, and
the Danbury youth knew he had been
seen. He took incontinently to the
bushes, where he spent very miser-
able two hours in hiding and caught
a cold that kept him two days in bed.
Meanwhile the terrible owner, who
was not the owner at all, had sought
similar refuge at the sight of the
original culprit, and not until his
teeth chartered like a typewriter did
he venture to leave the friendly but
damp shelter and stink away from
the scene He was an elderly man,
and his share in the days sport re-
suited in four days rheumatic limp.
