One enthusiastic user of our Pork 
Rind Minnows says, “This hook 
(Oriental Wiggler) caught and 
landed more muscallonge than three 
other kinds of trolling hooks used 
in a party of twenty-one fishermen 
on Plumb Lake, Wis.” This angler 
hails from Chicago where they are 
keen to recognize something better.

ASH A WAY LINES are record lines 
They have taken many rec¬ 
ord fish. They were recognized 
as record lines at San Fran¬ 
cisco last year when the inter¬ 
national Jury of Award gave 
them the Gold Medal, the high¬ 
est possible award. 
Their quality is dependable. 
Over ninety-four years of con¬ 
sistent effort have put them in 
the “tried and proven” class. 
Ashaway Lines are good 
friends to meet and good 
friends to keep. 
Our booklet “A Few Lines 
About Lines” is both interest¬ 
ing and instructive. A copy is 
yours for the asking.

A TURKEY STALK 
(continued from page 209 ) 
after the men who did it. But this I say, 
I never felt more honest in all my life 
than I did with regard to those hogs. No 
man could have tempted me to steal them. 
But to return to the turkeys, just to 
show you how even old hunters get tooled. 
We located a spot where the turkeys were 
“using,” and there we arranged ourselves, 
just in sight of each other, the idea being 
to keep in touch with a quiet whistle once 
in a while and so not get separated or 
lost in the tangle of forest and swamp. 
I say we did this, theoretically. And 
we waited for several hours, but no 
turkeys appeared. Then, as the sun was 
getting low, I quietly whistled, according 
to agreement. Out went a nice brace of 
turkeys not fifty yards from me. Eagerly 
I called, “Mark,” for they were going 
straight for where our guide was. But no 
shot answered. Puzzled, I went to find 
out where he was—no guide. I silently 
scouted the other side for Cummings— 
no Veteran. Then I whistled loud and 
still louder, but only silence. So, lest I 
get bewildered, I pulled out my compass, 
laid a line for camp, and started. Luckily 
I had made it a practice to carry that little 
pointer always, for the turning and twist¬ 
ing necessary to get home and the sun 
out of the sky made it hard to go by 
mere sense of direction. With the aid of 
the compass I came out just at camp and 
started shooting targets to tell the others 
I was home. They came in just at dark 
and I had a good supper for them. They 
had seen no turkeys at all. 
It was getting bitterly cold again, so 
we moved camp in the twilight, setting up 
the tent in a thicket of palms. 
The guide made a “shake-down” of 
palm fans, cut short in the stems, and 
stuck on the point of their stems in the 
soft soil. It was an effective windbreak, 
and beside the long fire, made of three old 
pine trunks that burned like torches with 
the resi nat their core, we passed into a 
dreamland among the palms. 
At daylight next morning, we heard 
the wagon coming for us. All that morn -1 
ing we hunted parallel to the wagon on 
the way out. We had a good bag of quail 
and pigeon when we arrived home. To 
cap the whole business, turkeyless, Cum¬ 
mings met an old native, grizzle-haired, 
with a beard like Rip Van Winkle’s, and a 
long gun as rusty, but with six fine turkeys 
dangling from the barrel. We found at 
the camp home news of a brood of turkeys 
not a mile from us and these we after¬ 
ward warmed up, not by the stalking 
method, but by the still hunting. 
Suffice it to say, that tired and hungry, 
we lay down that night with the negro 
songs ringing wildly through the forests, 
with their supper fires sending flickering 
lights along the palms and oranges, and 
with the sweet cool breezes, freighted with 
Floridian fragrance, fanning our faces, till 
we drifted off to dreamland with this 
idea—that the next few nights we would 
spend in “shining” for ’coon, skunk, rabbit 
and alligator, among the bayous and 
palms, at night, with a headlight to shine 
their eyes, and with the dogs to retrieve 
and with the thrill and mystery of palm 
forests and wild game all around us.
