FISHING UNDER DLFFICUL TIES

edwin Sandys in The Worlds Work.)
The gentle art Of angling is not mis-
named, yet il has its thrills and Occa-
sional dashes of the strenuous. Upon one
memorable day i pulled a skiff across
the beautiful Trout lake, in the Nipis-
sing country of northern Ontario. The
air had been gray with smoke for a COu-
pie of days. but there seemed TO be no
cause for alarm. Leaving the skiff on q
roclS-ledge at the mouth of a little
stream. / waded the latter for perhaps 100
yards upward. There were plenty of
fingedling trout. almost too small to
bother with, but a mess for supper was
wanted The woods all about were very
dense. and by the time a dozen fish had
been killed the smoke had become too
unpleasant for further effort. It was i'm
possible to see many yards in any direc-
ton, and I had about concluded TO re
struck me. All unsupported. a great fire
had swept through a hidden valley just
ahead. and in few seconds the tree
tops almost overhead were flariHS and
roaring like blast furnaces.
Only those who have seen it can under
stand how swiftly a forest fire can ad-
vance. Wading a stream and casting
here and there a. one slowly advances
are both easy and pleasant. but running
or laundering through that same water

minute the heat had become almost un-
