176 Sporting Sketches in Pen and Pencil. 



"They're fond of the bumhle just now, but later on they'll take 

 the caperer," said old Experience, and he was right. When we walked up 

 once more to the eddy the shelf was vacant. The alarm had been given 

 and every shadow was away, and as they would not be back for half an 

 hour or more, and the days were getting on, we sought the streams below, 

 on the edges of which the caperer served his turn, as our friend foretold. 



By four o'clock the rise for the day was over, and we walked home well 

 satisfied with eleven brace of lovely grayling basketed. 



And so Mr. Cooper's and my own labours come to an end, and we 

 can but hope that they have been satisfactory to the reader. 



"to this COMPLBXION must we COlfE AT LAST."
