and he had started after me, I suppose 
I would have just flown. I was only 
hitting the ground in high places as it 
was. 
E went home with a large 
number of ducks and geese, and 
two swan, but I was the biggest man 
in the crowd. Yes, sir. I had trapped 
a wild cat and I had the skin to prove 
it. All the boys for miles around came 
to see my wild cat skin, and I felt as 
proud of it as I now would of a medal 
for bravery in the World War. I felt 
as though-I was several inches taller 
than before, and I verily believe that 
within less than a year I began to 
develop a growth of shrubbery on my 
upper lip, that later on proved to be 
the beginning of a mustache. Father 
caught me at the barn one day with his 
razor and a small mirror trying to 
find enough to get my first shave, and 
all this was caused, I suppose, at least a 
year ahead of due time, by catching 
that wild cat, and that was purely ac- 
cidental. 
Secrets of the Salmon 
By Epwarp RINGWoop HEwITT 
This book might well have been called 
“The Psychology of the Salmon,” as it 
is written from the point of view of 
the fish with regard to the effect of the 
wiles of the angler upon him. This 
idea has been carried out to the extent 
of having photographs taken by a mov- 
ing-picture camera placed in the posi- 
tion of the fish looking up through the 
water to the surface while flies were 
cast over it, and many of the plates of 
the books are “cut-outs” from this film. 
It is written by a sportsman for 
sportsmen, by a man full of enthusi- 
asm, with keen observation, an open 
mind and fifty years of angling ex- 
perience. 
It is a thoroughly practical manual, 
but, far more than that, a veritable 
mine of information on the life history 
and habits of this elusive fish. In 
every way it is a real important con- 
tribution to the best piscatorial litera- 
ture. Published by Charles Scribner’s 
Sons, New York. Price $3.00.
