Fishermen who confine their opera
tons to trolling can get good fishing
almost anywhere. Launches can be
hired at Taupo and the best fishing is
on the western side of the lake. Red
and silver or red and copper spoons
have been used largely for trolling,
but recent experience has shown that
just as many fish can be taken when
trolling with a large fly as with a
spoon. This method is preferable, as
it enables one to use lighter tackle
and gives the fish a fighting chance.
For fly fishing (both on the rivers
and on the lakes) best results are
obtained when deep Waders thip rub

some interesting records.

TT was typical OF McComas that he
wasted no energy In reproaches.
But two days later he came home
from work with such a dispirited look
that she could not help but guess that
and that what she wanted had come
true. That night. in shame and pity,
she cried herself to sleep.
A new routine was inaugurated in
Henry McComas' life. Each morning
Stella woke him at and he lay for
Is minutes in an unwilling trance, as
if his body were surprised at this
departure from the custom of the dec

RODS of digestion and his cherished
surfeit of sleep. These were his con-
cessiOnS to Drinkwater in exchange
for the withdrawal of sufficient money
to cover his immediate needs.
DrinkWater, of course, could have
bought him out, but, for various rea-
sons the senior partner did not con-
slider this advisable. One of them,
though he didn't admit it to himself,
was his absolute reliance in McComaS
in all matters of initiative and deci-
sion. Another was the tumultous con-
dition of the market, for, as 1916

One traveller goes so far as to say
that one days work and four days
rest is their idea of industry. The
same authority, an American, states,
however, that these people use up con-
siderable energy in kite flying, an
amusement at which they spend much
time and which they enjoy to the ut
most. Their method of operation is
most simple.
A Burmese cuts and trims two ~
inch slips of bamboo, crosses and ties
them in their center, runs a thread
around the four tips and pastes upon
this frame one thickness of paper.
Then he fastenS a nail or small
81 eW nut to one corner and the kite
is made.
The altitude to which a well-made
kite of this kind will go is wonderful,
and the lightest breath of wind will
take it up. A hundred and fifty or
200 yards Of strong sewing thread,
wound on a skeleton reel, four inches
in diameter and eight inches in
length, completes the equipment.
Then, having started the kite by
process f gentle playing, the Burmese
sauats down in the middle of the
street, so as to keep his thread clear
of the houses, and let's the kite help
itself.
In Rangoon. on a still morning or
evening, hundreds. of kites float over
the Burmese quarter of the town,
some nearly out of town. some hover

it was brought off he was due for a

past few weeks-he had never known

The commissioners had been indefi-
mite as to what time he could expect
them. They were engaged for dinner
and would be free somewhere between

8, rested for half hour in steaming
bath and then stretched himself on his
bed Tomorrow he would join Stella
and the children in the country. His
week ends had been too infrequent in

the Ninety-second street house with a
deaf housekeeper. Ted Drinkwater
would have nothing to say now. for
this deal, the most ambitious Of ALL
was his own.
He was hungry. He considered
whether to take cold chicken and but
tered toast at the hands of the house
keeper or to dress and go out to the
restaurant on the corner. Idly he
reached toward the bell, abandoned
the attempt in the air, overcome by a
langor that dispelled the headache that
had bothered him all day.
That reminded him to take some
tablets, and as he got up to go toward
the bureau he was surprised at the
weakened condition in which the hot
bath had left him. After a step or
two he turned about suddenly and
plunged back upon the bed. A feeling
of worry passed over him, and then an
iron belt seemed to wind itself around
his head and tighten, sending a spasm
of pain through his body. He would
ring for Mrs. Corcoran, who would
call doctor. In a moment he would
reach up his hand to the bell. Elm a

realized the cause Of it. His will had

HE anglers paradise is a
name given to many places
by fishermen. The Califor.
i MAN thinks the best fishing
is off his coast, and the man
from Florida declares there is nothing
equal the trolling for the big game
fish in his southern waters.
The real anglers paradise" is said
10y fishermen from all parts of the
world to be New Zealand. The fame
Of both its deep-sea and its fresh
water fishing is annually attracting
anglers from overseas.
The sport provided by swordfsh
and mako or blue shark on the north
east coast is unparalleled. The
swordfish visit this coast in great
numbers for approximately four
months Of the year, from about the
middle of February to the middle of
June, and are most plentiful on the
stretch Of coast between WhangarOa
and the Bay of Islands. At both of
these places good accommodations are
provided for the anglers, and launches
with experienced operators are avail
BILE at reasonable rates for any fish
ing enthusiast who may wish to try
his luck with the big fish.
The swordfish and mako shark in
New Zealand waters grow to an i'm
nense size. A specimen OF the for
