All the while you feel a steady succession - 



of harsh tugs and jerks that threaten every 



instant to part your tackle. -^ 



Kopseep is jigging; and that means that \Lz*^f^f?t 

 he is hooked — and probably lightly — in 

 the lip, rather than in the mouth or tongue; 

 and that you must be extra careful if you 

 expect to get him. Could you see him now, 

 you would find that he is standing fair on 

 his head in the current, darting his jaw 

 with rapid jerks against the bottom, try- 

 ing to scrape off your fly or to break your 

 leader against the stones. Ten minutes pass 

 slowly, and though you are below him, pull- 

 ing his head sidewise as hard as you dare, 

 you have not budged him an inch. Then 

 Noel appears, gliding in and out like a 

 shadow among the trees on the bank. 



"Some stones, Noel — big ones," you call ■; 

 to him ; and the Indian begins to hurl stones 

 at the spot where Kopseep is sulking. A ; ; 

 lucky one starts him at last and he is off like ,. : 



a flash, rushing and jumping all over the 

 pool; while you endeavor desperately to reel • ?.\ '•..... 



in the bagging line and to keep Kopseep out -p.;'
