THE WAY OF THE FISHERMAN
II Is Made Hard for Him Wpon He
Has Big Story to

A fisherman who was worming for
trout on the Ythan had Just laid his
rod down to visit BIS sandwich box.
when without warning II suddenly
rose in the air and scared away like
Blerlot biplane over Esselmont
Woods.
For one wild moment he thought
there were visions about, but the
explanation was soon apparent. A
trout had seized the worm and had
then in turn been seized and gorged
by heron. Away tapped the heron.
only TO find that II had captured
something OF unusual weight.
Still Il bravely flew towards Its nest
In the treetops, and the angler might
never more have recognized his rod
had II not got entangled In some tele-
graph wires, with the result that the
cast snapped the heron went free and
tho rod was eventually restored to its
owner.

II seems that his angling friend was
casting with a large spoon. and In
n back cast drove II into the ear OF
tiger which had been going to
spring on him from behind. Goarded
by the pain, the brute sprang clean
over him and into the river, and the
fisherman actually played with 1t for
an hour as II swan to and fro In mid
