The first thing Tony saw when
he came through the door was Le-
onie and Andy dancing together. A
scowl crossed his face. Then he
laughed. When they whirled past
him he stepped up and whacked
Andy on the back.
"Tony's cut" he grinned. make

Leonie flushed. Andy hesitated,
looked at Tony, then gave way smil-
ing. Sure thing" he said. "Your
dance, Tony"
AS soon as she could, without ap-
pearing too obvious, she asked
Andy to take her home.
There she accused:
"Why did you let him insult you?
Oh, the shame of i'll"
Andy was startled and bewil-
dered. "Let who insult me, honey"
"Who?" Sc stared at him. "Tony
Swift, of course! I was never so
Inundated in my life"
"Tony? Oh, you mean be-
cause of what he said? Shucks,
honey, Tony didn't mean any
thing. He was drunk"
The appalling truth flashed
across Leonie's brain in that mo-
ment. Andy was a coward! He'd
been afraid of Tony, which was
why he evaded the issue! With
little whinpering cry she turned
and ran sobbing from the room.
A week later, on Saturday night,
Andy stopped by at Seth Lancey's
store to see Seth on a matter of
business. A couple of boys from his
mine were there, drinking at the
bar. Minutes later, talking with
Seth, he heard a rumpus out front.
Investigating he discovered that
two boys were engaged in a brawl
with three men from the Bar v
cattle ranch. Andy stood by and
watched a while. Others Joined in.
1t began to look as though the place
would be wrecked. Andy got out of

'StratoIine' Does Job

Without lot of technical blather
involving obtuse theory and theor-
izing, the Cortland line company
has come up with a triple-taper
fly line that seems to be what the
doctor ordered in the matter of
easy and effective fly casting.
Their "Stratoline" is made in all
the popular tapers, but in sensible
dimensions and weight distributions
which do the job perfect fly line
Is supposed to do.
Cortland has managed to put the
"weight forward principle of line
construction in its proper perspec-
tive and, as result, the "Strato-
line" almost "casts itself" We
tested an HCF line on an 8-foot,
31s-ounce Heddon rod, and were
delighted with the results. The
quick taper of the H-line to c, the
length of Cline which tapers
quickly to F, brought out the ulti-
mate in rod action and ease of
casting.

After a recent demonstration,
this writer is convinced that there
must be scores of cane pole bait
fishermen over the nation who
could give the expert tournament
casters some real competition.
Everyone knows that the tourna-
ment competitors, equipped with
81 or 6-foot rods, lightning fast,
diminutive tournament reels, with
no level-wind attachment, are able
to hurl a one-haf or three-eights
ounce tournament weight tn e
length Of a football field, or farther.
Light lines also aid the caster in
this performance.
But how many know that there
are some cane pole fishermen who
can cast a minnow and small sink
Or that same, or greater, distance?
But to the tyro, the ability to
duplicate the cane pole anglers
dexterity and adroitness is sing
ularly difficult, and it is only after
a long trial-and-error method that
the beginner becomes proficient
II he ever does.
There is no almost" alive" action
Of the rod tip here to aid in deliver
ing the lure. In fact, few cane rods
have enough flexibility to permit
the lure to put an arc in the rod
at any step of the casting procedure.
Getting to the performance we
witnessed, we saw cane pole
fisherman, with a minnow and
small sinker attached to his line,
throw more than 100 yards of line
off his IRELAND this from sit
ting position! He did it repeatedly
and seemed to think there was
nothing unusual in the feat. His
line tested Is pounds and his reel
was a beaten up model, with level
wind attachment, which was then
more than six years old and hadn't
cost more than So when he bought
It.
The performance was one Of
which any top-flight caster could
have been proud and was Of a
quality to attract as amazed spec
tators several fly-rod users and
plug casters who happened to be
on the lake at the time.

He thought, "Gosh, one would

climbed off the wagon and be-

denly, a fine trout leaped and
struck the red tip, or tassel, Of
the bullwhip.
The boy landed that fish, then
stood in his tracks and by the
same method managed to catch
a good mess.
And that, they say, was the
beginning of the rod and reel,
flies and plugs.
