AN AFTERNOON OFF. 
Continued from page 22 . 
mind, I was hard at work at my desk, ap¬ 
parently, but really trying to think of some 
rational excuse to give my wife as a reason why 
it would be necessary for me to go fishing that 
afternoon. She, by the way, had not apparently 
realized that I was in any immediate danger of 
death from overwork. Now, if anyone who 
loves to fish should chance to read these lines, 
he will appreciate the situation. The tide was 
just right, there was plenty of bait on hand, the 
sea was smooth and the water clear. On the 
other side of the question, there were some 
pesky old account books to straighten out, that 
could just as well be done some rainy day, or 
evening. 
Just at this stage of affairs in came a young 
nephew of mine, out from college on a half 
holiday. “Hello, Uncle John! Can’t you go 
out in the brush with me this afternoon?” 
“No,” I replied, “the woods will keep; let’s 
go blackfishing.” 
The boy did not care, and so the madam put 
up a nice lunch and we started. The boat lay 
just as I had left it, with everything aboard that 
we should need. I might at times let the wood- 
pile run low and possibly the flour bin might 
need replenishing, but my fishing gear I could 
depend on. Taking off the canvas cover, and 
oiling up the little naphtha engine, I rolled the 
wheel over and we were off, our destination a 
small island a few miles off shore. 
What an afternoon it was. Not a cloud in 
sight—just a little breeze to ruffle the water; 
warm enough to be pleasant and cool enough 
to be comfortable. Flocks of coots and old 
squaws, startled by our busy little motor, took 
\ying at our approach, while further out long 
lines of ducks told us that the pilgrimage south 
was well under way and that winter was at 
hand. One thing seemed queer, and that was 
the almost entire absence of small craft. Save 
for one sail boat ahead of us, bound off shore, 
not a thing was in sight except the schooners 
away outside, and a long tow of barges, nearly 
all the summer fleet being out of commission 
and hauled out for the winter. That fact did 
not trouble us, however, and I could not but 
think that it was all away ahead of posting

Here is the very newest and best thing- in the .22 
caliber repeating- 
This gun makes its first 
appearance this year and 
brings with it many new 
features. Though the rifle 
sells for a moderate price 
there is not a piece of 
cheap material in it, and the workmanship is in every 
way up to the high 7 /Zarfin standard of quality. 
Like the other fflarfin .22 repeaters the rifle is a 
take-down and can be packed in a very small space 
for traveling. It also handles .22 short, long or long 
rifle cartridges without any change whatever in the 
rifle line. 
mechanism. Thus, with long-rifle cartridges the 
rifle is instantly changed from a short range rifle 
to an effective arm at 200 yards or more. 
The barrel is of special gun-barrel steel carefully 
and deeply rifled with the Ballard system to give 
perfect accuracy and long life. The action is on 
the trombone principle and has a solid top, side 
ejector and regular closed-in /Tfarluz. frame. 
The frame is of best quality special gun frame 
steel free from seams. The working parts are 
made from best quality crucible steel with contact 
points hardened against wear. 
This rifle is sure to be one of the most pop"'ur in the market. Send three stamps for new cata- 
lop. which explains this and all other 272ar//n guns more fully than we have space for here.
