W. STOKES KIRK. 1627-0, North 10th St„ PHILA.. PA. 
marvelled that rain could make such a 
noise. Back and forth the trout raced, 
but the speed was lessening. He had 
tired. 
There was ten feet of line out! 
I saw Chip turn back to the trees and 
brush. He was trying to locate the 
landing net. I remembered where it 
was and thrust it into his groping 
fingers! The next ten minutes lasted 
ten hours! And Sonnyboy never 
winced! He was a lad after his father's 
heart, bless him! It was the longest 
drawn-out play I had ever seen. 
The final supreme effort—Chip’s in- 
sistance that the boy himself net his 
own catch. And there we all three 
stood, looking down upon a 15-inch 
trout . . . flecked with spots that must 
have been painted there by fairies . . . 
the light of the gladiator, the brave 
warrior, in its eyes! 
* * * 
We kept at it until darkness closed 
down over Sluice Creek, and the woods 
began to dance with fireflies, but it 
availed us nothing. The charm had 
been broken. Even Chip’s tin of worms 
brought him no luck. I firmly believe, 
to this day, that Providence gave that 
brook trout to my boy ... as a re¬ 
ward for the something which was born 
in him on the fern-covered bank of the 
mountain stream—a something which 
is not given to all men who fish ... an 
abiding, heart-deep resolve to play fair, 
then and forevermore, until the last 
cast was made. 
On the rickety steps of Mister Chip’s 
cabin home, we sat and talked and 
made plans for the next day. By the 
quick flicker of my brimming pipe- 
bowl, I could mark Sonnyboy’s face. 
Oh, the pride of that expression—the 
happiness . . . the joy! And as if to 
add benediction, the grey clouds parted 
far overhead, and there were smiling 
stars. 
Rusty, free from his leash, snuggled 
up to my son, and rested a cold but 
grateful nose of chumship in the palm 
of his hand. My own arm was about 
his waist, there in the darkness, al¬ 
though with a cautious clasp, that he 
might not know the intrusion of a 
tumult of love which possessed me. 
My boy! My boy! 
“You see,” observed Chip, “it’s a 
habit they has . . . trout stay above 
rocks an’ then agin below ’em, with th’ 
current pettin’ ’em . . . watchin’ an’ 
awaitin’ fer grub. Now you take a 
native brown, an’ where it’s nice an’ 
quiet clos’t under a big rock, an’ th’ 
water sort uv splits up ... he stays 
mostly. 
“Get after th’ biggest pools FIRST, 
m’lad. After which, you move on 
slowly-like, to th’ upper end. Common 
sense, ain’t it? Because why, if you 
do THAT, it’s likely you c’n work 
BOTH ends . . . th’ fish not bein’ dis-

LYMAN SIGHTS 
Better Your Aim 
Luck? 
No Sir-ee! Good Shooting 
and Lyman Sights 
Lyman Rear Sights are mounted on tang 
or receiver, bringing the aperture close to 
the eye and nearly doubling the usual dis¬ 
tance between sights. This in¬ 
creases accuracy by limiting 
possible variation. In aiming, 
the eye seeks the center of the 
aperture where the light is 
strongest. Thus the shooter 
can practically ignore the rear 
sight and give his whole at¬ 
tention to front sight and 
game. 
Lyman Ivory or Gold Bead 
Front Sights contrast more 
sharply against dark back¬ 
grounds than do ordinary . __ 
front sights. ^No.lA, S4.50

get or Game.”
