I casting reels and wanting to know
which is the best reel to buy, the level

and thumb the line and trust to luck
or what.
Now, in all fairness to the manu-
facturers of reels of various types 1t
certain make or reel or even any GER
tain type and dwell upon il, bringing
out the good and bad qualities. A
list of all styles of reels on the mar
/ ket now could <be consulted and /
question whether a single one of them
would be in sany way Unsatisfactory,
insofar as Workmanship and reliabil-
ity is concerned.
For the casting rod, to be used for
casting of plugs, wooden minnows
and the spoon and spinner bats, /
! would recommend the prospective
level winding reels that most all
companies are turning out Per-
sonally speaking. l have come to the
level winding family strong! 1t takes
big responsibility away from the
angler in those moments when time
and attention is valuable-when a
heavy, fighting fish Is on the hook.
! Battling a twenty pound muskie
or a heavy small mouth bass is a
trick for the average man without
the added trouble of being forced to
spool the line evenly and carefully on
the reel being included.
'"The level-winded device does away

it does not in any way cause the
cast to take on the semblance of a
mechanical trick. Backlashes are as

finger wearing task of spoofing the
mut line evenly on the spool when
S'the retrieve is made that the even
spooling device is added to the
present-day reel.
'True enough. these reels are all
more expensive that the older types,
/ but considering the added mechanism
the cost. is very little more. No, /
would not do without a level-winding
device on the casting reel! In regard
to the size of reel for the short rod
! l would say to always choose the
100-yard capacity as 1t will not hold
more than eighty yards of heavy
bass line and sixty of thirty-five-
pound test muskellunge silk line. 1t
is best to get the larger spool ca
pacity as this capacity is mostly
gauged by medium heavy line.
THE general run of reel has not
the drag, which is in a great manner
a part that can be dispensed with as
few anglers, even In fishing for heavy

LYNCH is PLANNING
TO BATTLE BURMAN

NEW YORK. September 22.-Joe
Lynch of New York will defend his
bantamweight title against Joe Bur
man of Chicago in fffteen-round
match at Madison Square Garden on
the night of October i2 unless there
is a hitch in the state athletic COM
missions present plan to lift the
champions suspension next Tuesday.
Lynch paved the way for his rein
statement and complied with the
commissions requirements today by
hosting a $2,500 forfeit for the match
with Burman. He was suspended
some time ago and his title declared
forfeited to Burman for failure to
accept the latter's challenge within
the required six months period.
Later, however, 1t was revealed that
the two fighters had come to an
agreement a few days before the
expiration of this period. though
failing to SO notify the commission.
Thus, in order to comply with the
state boxing regulations, Lynch as
sumed the position of challenger and
posted the forfeit to clinch the match.

has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root il

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is sc
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.

keeping to the slow heave Of the ridge
as it rose southwark toward the loom

smooth ground, and Madeline, some
rods behind him, looked back with
concern at her friends. Here the real
toll, the real climb began, and a noun
tain storm was about to burst In all it's
fury.
The sky grew blacker; the slow
gathering clouds appeared to be sud-
denly agitated; they piled and rolled
and muShroomed and obscured the
crags. The air moved heavily and
seemed to be laden with sulphurous
smoke, and sharp lightning flashes be-
gan to play. A distant roar Of wind
could be heard between the peals of
thunder.
Stewart waited for Madeline under
the lee Of shelving cliff, where the
cowboys had halted the pack-train.
Majesty was sensitive to the flashes Of
lightning. Madeline patted his neck
and softly called to him. The weary
covered their heads with their mantles.
Stewart united the slicker at the back
of Madeline's saddle and helped her
on with it. Then he put on his own.
The other cowboys followed suit. Pres
emily Madeline saw Monty and Dor
othy rounding the cliff, and hoped the
others would come soon.
A blue-white, knotted rope Of light

and instantly thunder-clap crashed,
seeming to shake the foundations of
the earth. This moment of the break

sweeping down upon her, she realized
how small was her knowledge and ex-
perience of the mighty forces of ma
ture.
With blacker gloom and deafening
roar came the torrent of rain It was
d cloud-burst. It was like solid water
tumbling down. For long Madeline
sat her horse, head bent to the pelting
rain. When it's force lessened and she
heard Stewart call for all to follow
she looked up to see that he was start
ing once more. She turned her horse
into his trail.
Rain fell steadily. The fury of the
storm, however, had passed, and the
roll of thunder diminished in volume
The air had wonderfully cleared and
was growing cool. Madeline began to
feel uncomfortably cold and wet. Stew
art was climbing faster than formerly
and she noted that Monty kept at her
heels, pressing her on. Time had been
lost, and the camp-site was a long way
off. The stag-hounds began to lag and
get footsore. The sharp rocks of the
trail were cruel to their feet. Then.
as Madeline began to tire, she noticed
less and less around her. Her horse
climbed and climbed, and brush and
sharp corners of stone everlastingly
pulled and tore at her wet garments
A gray gloom settled down around her
