Finally he fixed up a plain hook and put .

from the bull trout as soon as the sinner struck
the water. He did not know that he had got

not pull In his line. Finally the trout shot
away into the water and unwound all the line
from tho reel. The hook then broke and
the prize had been lost. Cries pulled In his

and attached another small fish
The second time Cries made a cast big
