100 Dry -Fly Fishing. 



One was how a certain fisherman, by the secret 

 addition of two or three gentles to the point of his 

 fly hook, managed day after day to hring home 

 good hags of grayling to the hotel where he and other 

 disciples of the craft were staying. Said anglers, 

 who were getting little or no sport, were much 

 exercised as to how it was done, and in their vexa- 

 tion they bribed Fosbrooke to watch next day, with 

 the result that the spy rushed down from his 

 ambush in the adjacent wooded hill when he saw a 

 grayling fast hooked and being played, nor would 

 he be put off by the angler under the pretence of 

 carrying a message from him to the hotel, but 

 insisted on waiting to help to land the quarry, when, 

 on doing so, the baited hook told the tale, and the 

 murder was out.
