Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

[Aug. 7, 1909. 
pear. The all-important stubble is near at 
band. 
But the blackcock does not belong, like 
the grouse, only to the moors. Dearly he 
loves a rambling, open wood, of scattered 
oaks or birch, with water near at hand. And 
thus, though he may often cross your butt in 
a grouse drive, far up on the heather, you may 
also catch him napping at a November covert 
shoot in the valley below, and, like as not, he 
will go scot-free. The young sportsman will 
follow him with longing eyes, and remember 
when it is too late that “he was traveling 
much faster than he looked.” 
But he is at his best when there is no ques¬ 
tion of grouse or phesants, and the day is 
given up to him alone. You are waiting be¬ 
hind a stunted thorn bush, let us say, on a 
frosty November afternoon, repeating a 
maneuver that has often been tried in vain. 
But surely this time you have found the line 
of flight. You can see nothing but the sweep 
of the hill in front as it dips into the gully, 
and the only sound is the distant whistle of 
the keeper to his dog. And you are telling 
yourself for the hundredth time that there 
must be birds in the gully, that they are bound 
to come this way, when old Alec puts them 
up. The minutes drag on, and you begin to 
think anxiously of the failing light. Already 
it seems the chances of a find must be past, 
and Alec’s head will soon appear above the 
knoll. And then at last two black forms 
sweep over the crest, silent, confident, un¬ 
suspecting. They are heading straight for the 
thorn bush, and you rise from your cramped 
position and step back clear of the branches. 
The moment has come. Two shots ring sharp¬ 
ly on the evening air, and your exultant heart 
can scarce believe the glorious truth. A right 
and left!—Bertram Smith in the Scottish Field. 
FISHERIES IDLE. 
Indications are that New Yorkers will have 
to experience a large advance in the price of two 
of their staple fish foods this winter. These are 
salmon and sardines, which should be filling 
seines and pounds, gill nets and weirs in millions 
at this time of the summer along the Atlantic 
and Pacific coasts, but which, for some unac¬ 
countable reason, are appearing in very small 
numbers. Reports from the Maine sardine fish¬ 
eries show that the canning industry is practic¬ 
ally at a standstill. In July and August the 
water off Eastport, the centre of the American 
sardine catch, is usually a-gleam for several 
weeks with great schools of the diminutive fish, 
but not - a shimmer has been seen this season. 
Some of the canneries which expected to open 
to their full capacity this week, employing thou¬ 
sands of hands, have notified their men that 
they may not be needed this season. Viewing 
the fact that 600,000 cases of canned fish, worth 
$2,200,000, are shipped from this section of our 
Atlantic seaboard in an average season, it may 
be seen that a serious situation may be in store 
for Maine fishermen if the schools do not ar¬ 
rive. 
Several explanations are given for the absence 
of fish, among them being that the river seek¬ 
ing hordes have been delayed far at sea by 1 the 
presence of abundant food. Sardines, or small 
herring as they really are, feed upon minute 
floating crustaceans and fish eggs. An immense 
amount of this material adrift miles out is sup¬ 
posed to have retarded fish runs in the past, and 
it is hoped that such is the case just now. 
Should the run fail, American markets will 
have to depend upon French canneries for their 
supply,_ and the Brittany sardine is a much more 
expensive fish. 
Advices from British Columbia show the same 
state of affairs in the salmon packing industry. 
The tremendous schools of big fish which should 
literally be filling the rivers in their mad rush 
for head-water spawning grounds, have not ap¬ 
peared.—Times. 
All the fish laws of the United States and 
Canada, revised to date and now in force, are 
given in the Game Laws in Brief. See adv.
