were anxious that they should 60 over
and the occupants get the expected
ducking. Something of the kiad was
needed to break the strain caused by
the arguments of two days duration.
But the strain had TO be broken in 9TH
er ways, the canoes did not 90 over.
Smith headed in through the long
winding channel to the portageway be-
tween Healy and Kah-pee- kog, and
here UIlmark was il his glory.
1t was his first trip, and he learned
one word on that trip that ne will never
forget 1t was portage" He sat on
the bank and talked of portage while
other members of the party worked off
the strain of continued argument by
carrying canoes and baggage across.
The sun was still an hour above the
western granite hills when Boss Smith
canoe pushed its bow out of the mar
row channel, and the broad waters of
Kah-peekOg spread out before us, with
Crown island and the clubhouse direct
Ly in front.
The golden rays of the sun sparkled
on the dark waters of the lake, waters
made darker along the western shores
and around the islands by the shadows
thrown by the great granite rocks
and the tall pine trees towering heav-
onward.
Nowhere else does the sun shine
as it does on Kah-pee- Kog," said Tll-
mark, the recruit. whose artistic
sense was touched by the beauty OF
the scene, and that remark saved him
the hazing he would otherwise have
got.
Ten minutes more and canoes were
being unloaded at the foot of the
high bluff of which Crown island is
composed, and upon the top of which
stands the log clubhouse. Provisions
and baggage were hurried up the hill
and into the cabin. and then all
waited anNiously for the summons
that was to come for some one to ac-
company Boss Fisherman Smith upon
an expedition in search Of the
bass for supper 1t was as a sought

" AATION time had come again.
Y | knew it, for had not the edict of
Boss Fisherman Smith arrived? 1t was
short. as all of his edicts are. but it
was pointed, and said: Meet in To-
ronto August ~
That wasn't much, to be sure. but it
was enough, and the morning of August
found IA considerable gathering of
American citizens in a hotel lobby in
Toronto, CARRIED in old clothes. and their
most treasured possession fishing rod
and reel, with the other accessories
that go to make up the anglers equip
ment.
They filled half a parlor car on the
Grand Trunk train going north to
Penetang, and their conversation had
nothing to do with those standard
themes, politics or the weather. or
even the scenery, beautiful as it may
have BEEN but turned to fish; TO the
relative merits of large and small
mouth bass, to muskellunge, topike and
pckerel, to wood and steel rods. to
reels, to lines and hooks, to everything
upon which the opinions of fishermen
may differ.
"Onc would think fish the only thing

A BROOK,

Once there was standing by public street
A small white cottage of the common
kind,
With yard, shed. stable. driveway, all com
plete
A thousand such throughout the land
But at the back. through banks of nod
ding green,
There ran brook whose like you've never
seen,
OF crystal clear it was through all its line
This is our line, between the neighbor' s
walls
So we could see each stone and pebble
fine
And heaps OF stones that rapids made and
falls.
Some scraps of chinaware were plain in
sight.
And bits of stuff that flashed with diamond
light
It danced. laughed. babbled. sang the whole
day through,
AS if to be brook was perfect bliss,
Robins and sparrows seemed to think SO,
And fingered near, none of the JOY to miss
They dipped with head and wing in the
clear tide
And FLASHED the drops about in circles
wiCe.
Sometimes little fish went swimming by.
All. wasn't that a sight for childish eyes!
Sometimes a bug-like thing or dragon ny
Darted along to give us surprise,
And sometimes green frog let off croak
AS if to frighten us and play joke
There was a little bridge where one could
p,amp
Fac, down and watch droll flies fit to
@ad fro
What perfect glee to make the minnows
jump
When they came nosng up, in schools be-
low.
And there, just there, by that deep, shad-
owed pool,
The garden toads would sit to blink and
cool.
Snapweed grew rank in clumps, with
blooms like gold;
We made neat eardrops of the dangling
thingsi
Be sure twas hard to make the limp things
hold
We always had to tie them on with
strings.
And then the seed pods-a prolific crop!
~ hat fun to nip their tips and make them
pop.
Coarse, common weeds trailed in that
stream became
Silver or gold in answer to demands.
Skilled alchemists were we though
skipped by fame
with wealth uHcounted passing through
our hands,
oh, do the waters of that brook still flow
Through that old town? Pray tell me ii

Works Hacker with the General Electric
company promises to furnish a sensation

fore Commissioner Clark today. and the

ing one. II Is charged that Alden and
Hacker, during the last days of the Hack
er administration, purchased thousands of
dollars worth of material of the Cen
eral Electric Company on small reQuisi-
tons of less than 500 each, in order to
keep the amount below the limit and
thus escape the supervision OF the city
council. which passes on all purchases and
expenditures exceeding that sum. The
bills for the current month will amount
TO nearly $4,000. over half of which Is
for material thus ordered from the Cen
