are beng spread for his en-
trapping.
On a Saturday afternoon.
when fluffy dandelion puffs
/ were floating about like fairy
balloons and the last apple
blossoms were falling, a robin,
which was building among
! grapeviues in the backyard,
burst into such jocund song
that Horace Murey flung down
his pen and listened. And as
he listened came to him the purl
of willow fringed brook across
meadow land; wide country
spaces seemed stretching
around him; he felt the free air
of the open upon his cheek as
he lay on sunny sward with
rod in hand-and all at once
his beloved den became irksome
as prison cell. So away he
tramped with fishing tackle,
good two miles out of the
city he came to the place he
sought-a place whel e he could
angle and dream aWav the time
alone.
However, he had hardly
located himself when his bliss.
full security was disturbed by
juvenile shouts, which seemed
tending toward the very spot
where he was ensconced, and
yes! there they were!-
everyone of the 30 odd pupils
who clamocea about the play |
ground next to his backyard,
descending upon him like so /
many avenging spirits in skirts
and knickerbockers, and each
with his or her rough, home |
made fish polel
What madness Tor parents to
allow these little animals off |
on iaunt like this! He was |
conscious of wild desire to |
all children, and |
these in particular; he longed
to own his own trout stream,
and to put up signs against
Lrespassing-and then the will !,
low fringe behind him parted
to show a CLEAN of
golden hair and flash of blne
eyes, and he was springing 10
lis feet with the air of a
to meet the face which
lad smiled upon him in his
dreams! 1t smiled upon him
low, after the first darkness
IF surprise.
"Mr. Murey!" And then,
With captivating sauciness:
