hausted as he was, if firmly hooked he would not 
be able to break away, so I laid down my rod 
and sprinted down the bank, my destination be¬ 
ing a log which spanned the stream some half 
a mile or so away. 
As I neared the pool the fog opened for an in¬ 
stant and I saw a man in a red sweater just un¬ 
hooking my trout, and such a trout! On the dis¬ 
tant bank my rod, the rod that had conquered 
the “ads” of things to sell always of first class 
goods and reliable houses. 
I wish you all the luck in the world.

the fish, lay impotent and helpless. I paused, 
struck dumb with anger and astonishment. There 
have been a few times in my life when I have 
found words inadequate and that was one of 
them. Anger and exhaustion shocked me, but 
finally I managed to gurgle, “Hey, you!” For a 
single instant I saw my fish in the hands of that 
red-sweatered thief, then the fog shut down once 
more. Through the thick gloom came the echo 
of mocking laughter, and the thud of pounding 
feet. What I said I do not remember and it is 
just as well that I do not, for it would hardly 
bear repetition. I plunged about in the fog but 
to no purpose. When next the mist lifted I was 
alone in the little valley, and Thunder Mountain 
smiled ironically. When next I fish in a fog I 
am going to carry a gun, and-. 
ALWAYS CLEAN AND GOOD. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I have been a subscriber for Forest and 
Stream since, I don’t know when, before 1890 
I think—in ’85 or thereabouts—and I figure that 
I shall be as long as I can read it or get some 
one to read it to me. I think I miss it once a 
week, but it is a better paper once a month. I 
don’t see how you can get so much in it. I 
read it all. 
I have got all of the “Uncle Lisha” series of 
books in my library and the story in the March 
number is good, for I can remember some of the 
old “Whippin’ the Cat” men who used to live or 
work in Tuftonboro, N. H. where I was born. 
Most of my life has been spent in Boston, but 
I am New Hampshire born anyhow. 
The paper is always clean, always good and 
cap Tournament will be held in Grand Park, 
Chicago, Illinois, on August 16, 17 18, 19 and

ciation of Trap Shooters. There will be $3,500 
added money and the winner of first place in 
the Grand American Handicap will be guaran¬

winner of third place will be guaranteed $300 and 
a trophy; the winner of fourth place will be 
guaranteed $200 and a trophy, and the winner of 
fifth place will be guaranteed $100 and a trophy. 
Numerous other trophies will also be awarded. 
Also announce that the tenth Southern Handi¬ 
cap Tournament will be held at Memphis, Tenn¬ 
essee, on May 11, 12 and 13, 1915, under the
