the swaying OF the underhrush on the
farther side OF the creek attracted his
attention.
A moment later a boy emerged
from the thicket. He surveyed John
with an expression more OF contempt
than Of surprise. The new conner was
a tall. well.formed lad, straight as an
arrow. quick and graceful In his

John sullenly. For hair an hour no
word was spoken. John caught four

hooked only eel grass. Then he cast
his line across the pool, dropping It a
