10 we sot 70 fishing. and the water made
90 much noise a running along. the nsh
couldn't hear us very well even II We
didn't keep still We had caught a half
dozen out OF this one hole. when sc-
cidently broke my pole. But didn't give
line TO II, put on good tempting bait
and, stepping on 10 a bowlder a little way
from shore. dropped my hook in just
beyond a large rock few feet father
out. just as the worm was wrigsling and
twisting 10 beat all, and II hadn't any
fore-snap, swish. whirr,-something
caught hold Of the end OF that line that
made me as nervous a witch In a

OF course I dasn't let him run because
l hadn't any reel. and so I gathered my
self together and snaked him out just an
boy pulls out a pickerel or mud pout!
TIE way he struggled and held on was
a caution, but. finally, ! swung him over
my head and landed him full ten feet up
on the embankment. and when he struck
he fell of the hook
The bank was shelving and every bound
he made he got nearer the water, and
seeing that ! might lose him I called

Finally. knew something must be done
right of. so threw my pole into the wa
ter and jumped 90 the shore. sprawling
around as gracefully woman OF 20
can. and landed In front OF the trous
Just IN time 10 have him land in my hands
at the waters edge, but he so slip
perry he slid out or my fingers into the
water and away he went
Well II ever felt that life wasn't wuth
lyin' II was then! Seemed as IL he
weighed Ave pounds when pulled hin,
out hut probably he wouldn't weigh
n,or-'n two. but he looked as big as he
felt: and 10 lose such big trout as that
would discourage most anybody. ! sput-
tered and scolded. and. finally. sot down
on rock. and there | sot for more'n an
hour test a thlnkin'.
When I finally came 20 again. | says,

In the morning thought how foolish I;
was TO let such little thing upset me
and so decided 70 stay six weeks longer
