Observation-Disclosures,

1t was quiet little stream tagging
along between banks lined with alders,
with here and there pine looming it's
giant cone above it's lesser neiShbors
Thin bladed flags fringed the shadows
at it's edges, and in the swampy places
where the banks We're low there was a
riot of purple blossoms. Yellow ham,
mers winged to and fro in swift flight,
and dragon flies hung above the water,
surveying themselves in the limpid
depths.
In one place for some score of yards
the banks were higher, the alder green
was broken and the green meadow land
gained the waters very edge. In the
center of this open space and close to
the banks stood solitary beech.
Against the trunk Of the beech reclined
a girl as she dangled line in the
brook. Her head was bare, her brown
hair in fine disarray. and her sleeves,
rolled to the elbows, displayed pair
Of well tanned and shapely arms. Her
head rested easily on the trunk of the
beech. She was thinking her pose must
be quite fetching.
So thought the young man who broke
through the alders on the other side of
the stream. He was tall, well knit
young man. His face was cast in a
solemn mold. but twinkle in the deep
set eyes and FESTIVE twtching of the
corners of his mouth gave assurance
of q saving hunlOr
At the sight of the young man the
girl sat primly erect, flush of annoy
ance rose to her cheeks, and after
sudden flash of anger from her eyes she
gazed steadfastly at the point where
her line made little eddies in the water.
On his part. the young man started and
cast in her direction a glance of unde-
niable surprise-he had practiced it
all the way down from the road.
Then. as he noted it had been lost
to her downcast eyes, he seated him
self on the bank directly opposite
her, at the same time giving ut
terance to a sigh which was entirely
unfeigned and Impractical. He was

FROM THE OTHER BANK CAME A SCREAM.
thinking what several kinds of an
immortal idiot he had been to quarrel
with her Then he produced rod and
lire and without undue ostentation be-
gan his angling.
Now there was vast difference be-
tween the outfits of the opposite Wal
tons. The girls rod was of split bam-
boo. An oil silk line ran through it's
little rings and was wound about a
reel of the latest design. Moreover
attached to the line was hook on
which a wriggling angleworm was i'm
paled The mans rod. on the con-
trary. was merely a newly cut and
trimmed alder shoot. His line was
nothing more than bundle Irvine. and
had one observed carefully he would
have found at its end no hook at all,
but merely fair sized pebble.
The young man tished faithfully. He
gave the line Sundry quick jerks and
then lowered it again He trolled it
to and fro. He worked it under the
bank. and all the time the girl on the
opposite bank sat immOvable, her eyes
glued on the eddies. Hard lines APP
reared about her mouth-lnes which
Raid this spot was hers by the right of
possession and that she intended to
hold it against all intrusion. The man
began watching these lines and found
them far more engrOssing than active
fishing. Presently he uttered another
ponderous sigh. Then he quietly laid
aside the rod and observed loud enough
for the girl to hear:

At the sound of his voice the girl
looked up. but as quickly lowered her
eyes. He fancied he caught the sound
OF scornful sniff. Undismayed. he
drew small brown volume from his
pocket and began to read aloud:

Again the man turned the pages slow

| Her line came out of the stream, and
she rose in wrathful determination.
But as she did so an alarmed and trem-
ulOus 'O-Oh"' escaped her lips. The
young man risked covert glance over
the top. or, rather, the bottom, of his
book. Some rods beyond the girl was Il

to the surface. She clutched her hands
