mass, at velocities varying all the way
from the slightest zephyr to the hurri-

On a slender spit of turf which juttet
out at the tail of the eddies stood a CIR
intently engaged with a fly-rod: loung

were a couple of men lazily watching

again, and was snugly hooked in the
dropper.

an access of interest as the trout shot

She reached n hand round for the
landing net, which hung from a ring
in her creel-strap, and had partly
drawn it out, when of a sudden the
~honeycombed turf beneath began to
bend and break down.
She saw the danger and tried to step
back, but the movement was not in
time. She lost balance, slipped and
fell, and the next moment had rolled
off sideways with a splash into the
shining water.
BY the men on the bridge no words
were spoken. They left the bridge at
either end and raced down the rugged
bank on different sides, Duncan crashing
through hazel bushes, his companion
stumbling madly over tumbled bowl

Reaching the bottom of the strag-
