The Boss Of the Establishment

Spring fever ragged in the Boss establish
ment
The Boss wife, suddenly and unac-
countably disccntented with the narrow
limits of home, decided that her talents
were wasted on the Boss and that If she
had followed her natural inclnations Sarah
Bernhardt would have retired from the
stage and Maude Adams would now be
grateful for a summer engagement in
Denver stock"
In the spring a young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts OF love-" The
| average man, or the contrary, turns his
mind to dreams Of fishing. ad
So one evening, Just after the Boss wife
was declaiming the Juliet soliloquies to
her mirror, the Boss latchkey turned in
the door and, laden down with bundles,
he staggered into the apartment.
"Gallop apace ye fiery-footed steedsg' in
toned the new Juliet, while Mary, the
gaping handmaiden, rejoiced that at last
the master was come home and could de-
eide whether the mistress needed a spring
tonic or a straitjacket.
Hey there, Juliet!' called the Boss,
good-naturedly. come look at my new
fishing tackle; we're going fishing to-
morrow. I'm TAKING Itle Ohy OH ana Wen
run down on Long Island and bring home
the finest string of trout that ever sig
zled What do you say7"
The new Juliet being a married person
was used to descending from the heights
Of the balcony with the swiftness of an
elevator minus safety brake.
"Thatn be great" she answered, unro-
mantically; but have you brought me
fishing pole?"
Certainly not. I'm taking you along to
row the boat"
Yes, you are!' Jeered the lady I'VE
don't stir one step out of the house un-
less you've brought me a pole. reel, line,
sinlcer. flies and everything"
Here they are in this package" the well
trained Boss replied
And then suddenly an inspiration smote
him. Suppose we so down tonight and
get up early tomorrow morning-around 4
o'clock, say-and go fishing. Fishes bite
SO much better at SUNRISE"
The Boss wife agreed and three hours
later found her and the enthusiastic fish

topped boots were no more strange than
her French-heeled Oxfords crossed in
little pool OF water in the bottom of the
boat
Nevertheless, the Boss wife, completely
satisfied with her own attire. laughed In
wardly at the $40 worth of boots, landing
nets, gaff and other fishing tackle which
formed the Boss outfit
The sun came up, cleaving the morning
mist with a sword Of light and firing the
lake to as many opalescent tints as the
trout 1t contained.

oars, this is a great morning! Wen stop

water, but her eyes were on the distant
shore. Out OF a clump Of marsh grass she
saw a long, lean, black and catlike animal
emerge.

"oh, look" sand the Boss wife. Look at

escaping, and then he added, rudely why

The Boss wife smiled grimly, but said
nothing. Her reel spoke for her

But It wasn't. Evidently the Boss re-

o'clock.
Five o'clock found the Boss and his wife
padding solemnly the COW path to the lake.
And after the Boss had unlocked the oars OF
the rowboat they had hired and pushed
softly out OF the seaweed-strewn harbor
into deep water. stirred by the mystery OF

fisherman and his regalia, and, it must be
