not let me. They fished it themselves,
and only got little trout. and not a
great many of them"
But tell me this Haven't you en-
joyed telling that tale pretty nearly as
much az catching those trout? Wasn't
the great reason you rejoiced SO much
at catching them because you were al
ready, in your mind, telling Of them?
Why, of 'coursei
Yes, and I am sure that even the
beautiful maple grove where YOU some
times pitch your tent Is more beautt-
ful, viewed through the smoke of these
winter fires, the mountains that guard
the banks more grand. the sunrises and
sunsets more impressive. Even the
bears and catamOunts you sometimes
encounter are fiercer, and the rattle
snakes more deadly. If anything could
increase the charm of the grand old
creek. or add a fetter to the chain by
which it binds its victims to itself, it
would be the longing Of these winter
evenings.
Speaking of the old creek. surely
YOU will not deny that it is almost as
interesting in the winter as in the
summer. You all beHOan your fates
yet every thaw or waTuls rain or sun
shiny day is a delight TO you, for each
time YOU hope that &c may be spring
tapping at the door, and evenings ard
sundays YOU potter around the creek aS
though q little attention on your parts
might induce it 10 hurry matters up.
Then if a heavy rain comes, following
days Of dampness and nights Of fog,
ard the snow becomes water-soaked,
and the ice rotten. even though Ii be
still winter you feel The promise in
the air of the good days to come, IF
the ice really breaks up and jams at
the bridge and a roaring yellow food
backs uD over the l0wlsnds, you are az
as excited as children
Then. too. consider the pleasure you
/ set cut Of the chance visits Of the men
who live up the creek. who fish or chop
down trees up there. Why, the other
evening ] was or' tAe street car, and an
angling man you al know and his new
/ wife got on. Something seemed to both
er the young man. and the wife re-
CeiVed absolutely no notice from him.
She sat down b. herself at the end Of
the car. ard even paid her own fare.
IN a minute roughly clad red-stock-

by the young man most joyously, and it
was not until he had pumped that lum

hardship the winter is really great
boon TO anglers.

The old angler laughed again, and
said. THAT wasn't such an exciting
affair, and don't you know that we
don't go fishing just to catch fish?
The sky now, and the water and the
wind, they are part of it,
Il know that I replied. but what
I'm saying is that il couldn't possibly
have been as interesting in the first
place as it has been to tell this story
for forty years. The sky, too, is bluer
when you talk and think Of il. and the
water and the wind more exhilarating
You seem to forget the times when the
sky wasn't blue. when the water was
obstreperous, and the wind as sharp as
a knife If that isn't a fair instance,
take the time the young angler caught
the very big trout in the very peculiar
way. and was so excited he hasn't

TO keep him hooked. and over and over

although the trout appeared to be tir-
ing, the angler began to fear he would
lcse him, when a step sounded on the
road above, and the angler shouted 90
the man to come down and help him.
They managed some way to get the
fish into an eddy, and to put a board
across the outlet TO prevent him from
rushing away. Then they easily dragged
him out. He proved to be d tremendous

think of the number Of times since then
that the story has been told and the
scene lived over. Not only here, but
they say that he has rarely made q
trip into that enchanted land in all the
twenty years since but that some adj
vice has been given him as to a better
way to have landed the trout than the
ore actually pursued.
Take the time you caught the FIVE
big trout in Pat KittIe's fields Oh, yes,
1 knew that story, too. What? You
have caught hundreds Of trout in Pat
hittle's fields. Yes. and if YOU have
told Of them 100 times it lends force to
my argument.

he couldn't hook him. our angler
moved down to where the fishing was

chances were that the stranger would
never get that trout. Thinking such a
fine FISH should not be lost. he moved
back again up the creek a bit. put a
new minnOw or his hook, changed the
lead a little, and threw in, and let the
bait drift down under the water, 10
the place where the fish was. The
trout presently grabbed the minnow
and carried it OFF. After giving him
time 10 finish his repast. the Old angler
towed him quietly up stream. took him
out and the fly fisherman never knew
the difference. I've always considered
that very dishonest, but were not dis
