lawyer well known i'll this city. Now,
when most people start out To tell Il fish
story they relate Something about a IT,
markable catch, but that was not my luck,
or, probably, had better say it was my
good fortune That 1 did, not Catch any
thing, for otherwise 1 might not have been
able TO Tell the tale. - r. .it.-
."Istarted Out, bright and early one morn

course, l was soon at my journeys end.
II tnited with II minpow and cast the
hook to the middle of the stream. After
waiting for half n;huur pull ed in the line
and discovered that the bait was gone.
So far as had been able 10 tell there

minDow had escaped. SO bai;ed with an
other and cast the hook closer to the bank.
There was alittie ,twitch to the line, and
all WAS still. j waited for Il bit. and ten
minutes later drew in TO cast further out.
AS l did so discovered that the bait was
gone gain.
The next time I rebaited | took par
ticular pains to see that everything was
on tight, and dropped the line in about the
same place IL had been before This tine

Again baited, and again reaped the
same result. 1 did this until l had lost
sixteen or seventeen minnows BY this
time l was growing very Interested, as
well as exasperated.
II had Il little dough in one OF the bait
boxes, and I tried this The result was
the same. The hook had hardly more than
cached its depth until there were few
quick hobs OF the cork, then the line went
down, or sometimes thecork flew along the
surface, and 1 drew in TO find an emuty
hook.
My determination grew more pro-
EouRced You can imagine about what /
would sa y.as opeEed my lunch basket and
drawing forth a sandwich placed the bread
cover ON the hook. l lowered this Fifteen
seconds later it was gone.
Next tried the under cover Of the sand

contents of the basket were gone. Then
lowered the napkin and finally the taske,
