Harry muttered something incoherent, and
stumbled toward the lake Where are you
going now, may ask" said Mary.
I'm going to fish, at last, by Georgel"
What WITH"
Harry groaned. 81 suppose I'll have to
go up to my room for the tackle"
YES" agreed Mary, unhelpfully moving
off. We'll, have good time"
Harry clutched at her desperately. Not ten
feet away from the stairs he would have to
use to reach his room was Gertrude. Mary"
he croaked. "You go get it for me!'
Don't be silly. Are you paralyzed?"

"All know is, just hare to fish, and you
can get by her. Pleaser'
mo, that wouldn't be nice. The poor girl
must almost be crying her eyes out by now,
waiting for great big wonderful YOU"
Dammit, Mary" said the tortured Harry.
Are you going to let me down."
The ghost of thrill went through her.
Accompanying these words had been fran
tic grab at her arm to prevent her escape.
Bring the big work-and-tackle box, and
a rod for yourself, too, begged Harry.
''All right, she said softly. Il won't let you
down. You d better sneak off to the boathouse
now, and let me join you there"
God bless you" said Harry.
j HERE is nothing so soothing to the tangled
nerves of fisherman as the chunk" of a
strike and the singing of the reel. Harry and
Mary caught 50 many fish that they actually
released most. From the work rk-and-tackle
box, Harry improvised many lures and they
all clicked. Mary cast well, set her hooks cor
rectly, played her catch skillfully. He beamed
approval. She even had that accomplish
ment, rare in woman, of taking fish off the

old pair of black kid gloves brought along for
the purpose. A nice girl, Harry unused, even if
she wasn't as ornamental as Certie.
Along about dusk, Mary squealed, Look!
Over there by that weed patch It's Oscarl"
Harry looked, and his heart leaped like
pedestrian at Fifth Avenue and Forty-second
Street. In the center of ring of ripples was
an incredible fish. Paddle over to him"
Swiftly Mary propelled the canoe Wah-Hoo
within casting range. Skillfully, Harry
dropped, in front of Oscars snooty nose,
white porcelain plug with aluminium fins. The
great fish, casually glancing at it, yawned -
and sank couple of feet.
The porcelain plug was exchanged for
succession of other lures. Some wore enchant-
ing rubber hula skirts, intended to serve the
double purpose of captivating their victim
and concealing from him their own dangerous
proclivities. Though they f1uttered enticingly
Oscar ignored them all.
Damn himt' Harry muttered Hes in

Harry frowned. A oovey of bats, further

back now Oh, good gosh!' There was ac-
tual horror in his voice. How am going to
square myself with Cert - Miss Judkins?"
An icy blast chilled Mary. DO you want
to-" she said frigidly.
''Of course do" said Harry.
At this one. Mary no longer felt cold. A
warm rage had seized her. Just tell me one
thing" she rasped. You've talked with my
brother about Oscar Does Jack really know
it's Oscar, or could it be Alice?"
Il don't get you, said Harry puzzled.

Il mean, is that fish male or female?"
why? Does it make any difference?"
1T doesl" said Mary. ''Well?"
1T is my belief" Harry said stiff1y, that
fish as large as that is male
That's all | want to knowl" cried Mary.
Snapi went the electric lantern, illuminat-

it, and wound a hank of gray wool about it.

a screw-eye on one end, and wired large

go out. Seven times it was reeled in by an
arm strengthened with anger. The eighth
time it went out, and then
With roar and splash their little world
erupted. The canoe was showered with spray
and violently rocked. The stern was jerked
around, and in the water was sound like
the breakup of log jam; the reel howled.
