PURSUED CLOSELY BY A
GREAT BIG UGLY FISH

IF your girl doesn't know how TO
fish," enthusiastically declared the
young fellow who clerks in a bank,
take her out fishing some day if you
want to have some real fun. If she
knows how to fish it won't be half so
much fun, and it will be all the more
fun If you don't know how to fish your
self"
Then the enthusiastic young man
proceeded to explain his proposition.
"A friend and l." said he, got our
girls to go to Greenwood lake last
Sunday. We hadn't any idea what we
were going to do or see when we got
there, and we didn't seem to care, only
so we ran against a good time.
"On the way up | asked the conduc7
tor of the train what we were likely to
find at the lake to sort of round out
a day with some fun mixed up with
it.
"Do you folks dancer said he.
"Sure thing said |.
"Can you fish, said he.
"'No, said |, positively.
"'Then go fishin',' said he, and
passed on.
I'VE thought it was kind of queer
advice, but the conductor seemed to
know what he was talking about, and
we made up our minds to take his ad-
vice and go fishing. When we got tc
the lake we found man who had
boats and fishing things to hire, got a
couple of boats, fish pole apiece and
some bait, and prepared to go fish
ing.
where's the best place to fish, ]
asked the man we hired the outfit
from.
"'Know much about fishing?' he
asked.
Il told him we didn't know a thing
about fishing.
Don't make no difference, then
said he, where you fish,
This seemed to bear out the advice
the conductor had handed us, and ]
considered that we were following the
right path to overhaul fun, so after the
man had told us how to bait our hooks
We rowed out on the lake and went
to fishing. Our boats drifted about fol-
a while, and as the situation was al
to the restful and dreamy l was pass.
ing quite few over to Sue in the line
of soft nothings and Sue was taking
'em for all they were worth and now
and then murmuring one or two back
to me, the fishing stunt kind o. slipped
my mind and hers, too. Then all of e
sudden she gave a scream that almost
lifted my hat and hollered:
"'Oh, Charlie, something is trying te
take my fishpole away from mel
II looked, and sure enough, her fish
pole was being jerked down in the wa
ter and she was trying to keep it up
"'Hold on to it, Sue!' | shouted
Maybe it's bite
"Just then about twenty feet from
one side of the boat big fish jumped
out of the water with Sues hook il
. it's mouth. 1t shook itself like a dos
shaking rat and glared at us the
maddest kind. Sue screamed louder
than ever and hollered:
It's jumping at me, Charlie; why
don't you kill the horrid thing?'
Il put my pole on the seat and sal
on it while l rowed fast to the spoi
where the fish had jumped out, intend
ing to slaughter it with an oar If l.
sprang out again, but when got there
the ugly critter had moved and came
leaping out twenty feet in another di
rection and madden than ever"
"'Oh, it's chasing us, Charlie!' she
hollered. Pull for shore and call fol
help!'
Il don't know just what | would
have set myself to work at doing ii
Sue hadn't screamed again right or
the heels of her last yell:
