“that bein’ out all day I’d best take some 
old thing to put fish in, a’m-jst anythin’ll 
do. Perch scale mighty hard when they 
dry out, b’sides they’re fresher if wet 
moss or grass is kept on ’em. I ’spost the 
old “tin blickey’’ I brought up for the 
chickens would do.” 
“You never brought that old tin pail 
up for chickens more’n I did,” she snap- 
ped back. Matt felt a tremor of doubt 
about the success of his plan. “But,” 
continued his aunt, “whatever you did 
bring it from the old dump heap for, 
goodness knows. I’spose fish are better 
if kept wet. I expect I can find some- 
thing to answer for a day. But,” she 
added, “you aint catched your fish yet 
to put in the pail.” Matt vouchsafed no 
reply but put on his coat. “In case it 
rains,” he said. Aunt Mary handed him 
a package which was lying on the table 
saying: “You’ll want a bite to eat if you 
stay all day.” Gathering up his trap-i 
pings he set off for the bridge with a 
light heart. 
He was not kept waiting as both men 
were in sight of the bridge as he reached 
it. Minnows were plentiful near the mill, 
in shallow water, where they hovered 
safe from their numerous enemies am 
Matt’s “tin blickey” was at last in serv- 
ice as a minnow pail, after the lad had 
sorted them over as to the right “perch 
size.” Mr. Adams insisted on rowing the 
boat. Matt directing the course until they 
were well up to the head of the stream 
where snags and lily pads were plentiful. 
“We’ll try once here,” said Matt, “I’ve 
took good ones from around here. The’s 
big ones in this pond if you’ll find ’em. 
I’ll change the water on the minnies. 
Don’t want ’em to turn belly up; they’re 
weak when they do that.” 
The boy poured a quantity of water 
from the pail, then, scooping with both 
hands, threw fresh water back. “I do 
it that way,” he said, “seems to give 
’em more air, anyhow they come to 
quicker.” Mr. Adams had a lighter rod 
and smaller reel than on the previous 
day. The boy noticed it but said noth- 
ing. 
When ready to adjust their hooks, Mr. 
Adams presented the other two with 
snelled New York trout hooks. It was 
the first the boy had ever seen and he 
examined closely the neat wrappings and 
tied loop. Finally he asked : “What’s 
that made of?” indicating the snell. 
“That is gut,” said his friend, mean- 
while watching, out of the comer of his 
eye, the expression which came over the 
lad’s face. “Whose?” laconically ex- 
claimed Matt and said not another word. 
He felt he was being joked about the 
matter. Both men laughed heartily and 
then Mr. Adams explained the mystery 
of the silk worm gut at which he seemed 
first doubtful, then pleased. Mr. Wood- 
hull used worm bait, the other two, min- 
nows. Matt Kooking his lightly through 
the lips while the older man hooked his 
through the skin just under the fin 
on the back. Matt contending that perch 
alius took minnies head first and was 
surer to be hooked his way. While bot- 
tle corks were used by both Mr. Wood- 
hull and Matt, Mr. Adams had a slen- 
der painted float which, with the light 
sinker he used, balanced nicely in the 
water. Mr. Woodhull got several bites
