JUST FISH STORIES


Tom Morris, one of the best
known guides in the Long-Sand
lake waters east of Phelps, GER
tainly is a hard sleeper, according
To reports coming from that sec
tion of the big fishing grounds.
Seems as though Tom and some
tenderfoot trout fisherman. the
latter of course hailing from Chi
cago, wanted to try out Pendleton
creek for trout. This creek is
located some five or six miles
east of Charley Hazen's resort.
and in order TO cut down the
days walk, Tom and the sport
were to have camped out all night
in a fishing shack Abel st. Louis
built some dozens of years ago.
and which. since that time has
gone To ruin-that is, the walls
were intact but the roof and
furniture were a minus quantity.
Anyhow, the two-man party land
ed at the shack after a days fish
ing and rolled up in their blankets
inside the walls, closing the door
as a protection against porkies
and wolves. Forgot all about the
ability of a porcupine to climb
anything. and as a result Tom
came home with a small square
of his hat, no collar to his coat,
and his paeksack nothing but
shreds. Porky had crawled the
walls. chewed Toms hat off his
head and his coat from his back
while he slept, and finished the
packsack and grub lying upon
the floor.

Lac Vieux Desert is coming to

cording to reports the past two

having come to grief by anglers
after the sporty fellows.
Trout fishermen are either out
of luck, lazy, or the weather con-
ditions are against them. While
few fellows bring in a fair
creel, still no one has brought in
a regular fish-hog's catch nor any
real big ones. The old trout man

didn't know where to look That
young Heron might be in tree.
However, Peter felt sure he wasn't,
for he remembered what the Merry
Little Breeze had said of the danger
from Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote
To be in danger from them he must
be where they could get him and they
couldn't do that if he were in a tree.
Peter stole softly along. The great
ferns growing there hid HIM He
peeped out from under them just in
time to see great bird alight be-
You'd little turn in the Laughing
Brook. Peter knew who it was. OF
course. 1T was Mrs. Longlegs. Then
he heard certain sounds that he knew
could be made only by young Heron
being fed. He knew then that he
would have no trouble in finding what
he was seeking. Around that little
bend IN the Laughing Brook he would
tnd that young Heron who had met
with an accident.
Slowly, carefully, taking the great
est care not to move a single fern,
Peter crept forward. He had no wish
TO be discovered by Mrs. Longlegs.
He had had one experience with
Longlegs and that was enough, quite
enough. Peter had very great re-
spect for that long, sharp bill and
those stout wings.
SO he was very, very careful and
at last reached place where he
could peep out There stood the
young Heron on the edge of the
Laughing Brook.

most direct way Is from Aaeken sack,

or else by way OF Dyokman Street Fer

cious condition. It is In fair shape
through Monroe and to the outskirts OF
Chester. Here again very bad piece
of road is encountered leading part OF
the way through the village. The sign
indicating where the state maintenance
ends is quite unnecessary. There IS
q fine road from Chester to Goshen and
a very good road from Goshen to Mid
dletown.
These hot days the motorist Is apt
to encounter heating troubles on the
mountains encountered between Mid
dletown and Monticello. Added to the
likelihood of the radiator boiling over
it is also a fact that the traffic is very
heavy and incompetent drivers make it
inconvenient, not to say unsafe, for
others on the road.
From Monticello to Liberty there Is
another stretch of good road and from
Liberty roads branch off in many direc
tons through the county.
Wherever state road is encountered
it is apt to be very good, but the side
roads mostly are much worn and ap-
parently do not get any particular at
tention. This is particularly so of the
direct road leading from Monticello to
Lake Huntington and the road leading
from Liberty to Ellenville and from
