the machinery which would as
suage 1t was set going.
The pork was sizzling in the
fryingpan, the green corn bub-
bling In the pot. When next he
looked about for the girl he saw
her standing at the end of the
dock. The power-boat was only a
few yards off.
Uncle Billy and Lester set off
quickly toward their boats.
What's up? Crawford called,
following.
Game wardens!"
Lester and Uncle Billy arrived
to find their boats being over
hauled, the fish boxes, the hol-
lows under stern and bow.
Friendly greetings were ex-
changed. The men knew each
other; it was all in days work.
Only the game wardens," said
the girl, smiling at Crawford.
Only! His puZzlement revived.
They sat down, he at one end
of the table and sheNat the other.
And they ate the finest fish in the
world, tender green corn, nectar
GUS coffee, crisp potatoes, luscious
melons, and the sun and the air
for seasoning.

share these fish. If you only

taste of one! l wonder what 1t

rind of the melon.
II have curious idea that per-
haps you are called Diana?"
The spoon poised for a moment.
Yes, that is my name. But do
not confuse me with the mytho-
logical goddess, please; I am very
mortal"
She rose, spun the melon rind
into the water, stopped quickly
and cast stone after it with
amazing accuracy.
Another stone flew out and
caught the melon on the rim,
spinning it.
What made you ask me If my
name was Diana?"
That" readily, pointing to the
melon. who but Diana could
have thrown like that?"
Not "a very brilliant inven-
tion."
Then they proceeded to scram-

1t was IA minutes by the girls

the net.
The girls palms were wet, and
little beads of perspiration stood
out upon her forehead. She had
gone through the battle as II she
herself had fought every turn
and phase of 1t.
''Hi, Miss Wynne. reels buzz
zin'!" sang out Uncle Billy, div
ing for the oars.
She caught the rod just as the
final turn OF the reel brought the
slip knot into view; so yards of
line out!
Once chance in a hundred! She
thrust the rod outward and took
three or four turns of the reel.
Away beyond Cranford's boat the
fish broke.
Lester, realizing what had hap
pened, came about and headed for
the shore to give the girl all the
play she needed.
Mate to ours" he said to Gran
fard.

Lester weighed Cranford's
catch and laid it tenderly In the
box. Here was fish worth
mentioning. -Four and three
quarters"
But Crawford did not hear him.
He was watching the girl, the
girl he had always known to be
somewhere, among the millions,
mate for him, helpmeet in sorrow,
comrade in joy, wife. Young and
strong and brave! scarlet-lipped,
brown-eyed, 1.-THE.

Four times the great bass Glove
the water, and then he began to
come In on his nose, as they say,
fighting wildly every ince of the
way.
The girls throat ached, her
eyes, her arms.
When the fish turned over on
his side she put the net under
him: but she had not the power
to lift him into the boat. Uncle
Billy had to bring him in. Then
he hauled out his drawer-seat
and paved about for the scales.

Crawford gave line. watched the
tip of his old Leonard, and struck.
He reeled in two or three feet
of line, then turned and looked
at Lester, who was grinning ami
ably.
Can you guess what I've got?"
"Boo-goo-eye!"
Crawford laughed and reeled in
and the despised rock-bass came
up exactly like tin pie-plate.
He rebaited and cast again
Presently there came a sharp tug
and strain.

Crawford.
He Strengthened the rod and
waited for the break" but the
break did not come.
Crawford scowled and gave the
rod an impatient lift. Crack
went the top of ten-year rod.
Crawford dropped the rod and
pulled in the line by hand. Lester
reached over at the proper mo-
ment and cut the leader. A fat
eel wriggled back to his oozy en-
vironments.
"Pidgin!" said Crawford, dis.
gustedly. "We'll 60 to Pidgin."
Uncle Billy, noting he was as
close to the ledge as was neces.

leaned upon his oars.

Can't You Help Loneliest Veteran
Find Sister Lost for Fifty Years?

SILVER SPRING. Md, May 80.
maggie Brady, where are you?
The loneliest veteran of the Civil
war-your brother-wants you'll"
This Is the cry sent out today,
when veterans in all parts of the
country are on parade or attend
ing Memorial day exercises, from
this little village where Bernard
Brady, the baby soldier of the
Civil war, lives solitary and Grip
pied in a barren little house out
on Blue Stone road.
Bernard Brady has perhaps the
strangest and most tragic story
of any Of those which are upper
most in mems minds today. Sit
ting on a rough stool at the door
of his cottage he told It to The
Times correspondent, and asked
help In the hunt for his sister,
Maggie Brady.
July 4 will be the fiftieth
anniversary of that hunt.
Brady has given all-his
youth, his limbs, mis- health
\ to his country. And all he
asks in return is that this
lost sister, his only near rela-
tive, be found to comfort his
lonely old age.
In 1852, when he was a lad of
9-the age of our fourth grade
kiddies today-littls Bernard
Brady marched off to war, drum
sticks in hand. He was the
North's Civil war baby, the
youngest drummer boy who
fought.
When the war ended and Brady
was discharged piece of wars
driftwood at the age of 13-he
had not place to go, no friends,
no home. His mother and step
father we're dead. He could not
read nor write.
Except that his name was Ber-
nard Brady, he knew practically
nothing about himself.
In the next 80 years his was
the weird experience of a man
finding himself. Gradually he
discovered what his family was.
where he had been born, and in
1897 learned how old he really
was! He taught himself to read
and to write.
"The best I can make out"
Brady said today, 81 was living
with my mother and stepfather
at place called Portsmouth. Va.
when the war started. Right after |
the battle of the Monitor and
