partly because he was sure to have at the
end of his casting line just the proper fly
for the size of water and condition OF
weather, and partly because OF his quiet,
neat-handed manner Of dropping his line
on the water. There is story still cur
rent on Speyside illustrative of this gift of
Charlie in finding fish where people who
rather fanced themselves had failed-a
story which Jamie Shanks to this day does
not care to hear. Mr. Russell OF the
Scotsman had done his very best from the
quick run at the top of the pool of Dali
brock down to the almost dead still water
at the bottom of that fine stretch, and had
found no luck.
Jamie Shanks, who was with Mr. Russell
as his fisherman, had gone over it to no
purpose with IA fresh fly. They were
grumpishly discussing whether they should
give Dalbreck another turn, or go to Pool
o-Brock, the next pool down stream, when
Charles Grant made his appearance and
asked the waterside question: ''What
luck?' ''No luck at all, Charlie.' was
Russel's answer. ''Deevil lise!' was
Shanks' sour reply. In his demure, purring
