flogged all in vain till, above the second weir, 
the last field of the fishing was reached, and 
then, without a moment’s warning, the rise be- 
gan. It was as though some beneficent power 
had been sprinkling May-flies out of a large 
pepper pot. Close under the alder bushes, in 
mid-stream, in the eddy beneath the great oak 
tree, everywhere the dainty creatures were sail- 
ing down, and the trout attacking them raven- 
ously. There was no need for the fishing art 
of the dry-fly fisher, with his little bottle of 
paraffin and exquisite imitation of nature’s 
handiwork. A May-fly, tied hackle-wise by a 
local practitioner on a piece of good sound gut, 
was all that was necessary, and almost every 
cast produced its corresponding rise. Some- 
times the fish missed the fly, but more frequently 
a screech from the reel told that he was fast, 
and for some three-quarters of an hour the fun 
never slackened. Then the rise ceased as 
quickly as it had begun. There were still some

Who would not gladly wait a whole day, or a 
week if need be, for such a chance? Many 
blessings rest upon the head of that kindly

That, O reader, gentle or savage, as the case | 
may be, is what May-fly fishing on the Arrow 
is like, and it explains the opening paradox of 
this article. If you happen to miss just those 
enchanted moments the May-fly is a fraul in- 
deed, but if you are so fortunate as, only once, 
to be in the right place at the right time, noth- 
ing short of gout or the graveyard will keep 
you back from Arrow-side when the first week 
in June calls forth the green drake.

FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO.

In the Lodges of the Blackfeet 
which was published serially in Forest anp Stream as by W. B. Ander- 
son, has now been issued over the author's true name, J. W. Schultz, and 
under the new title 
My Life As An Indian 




The story is one of the most faithful pictures of human life ever drawn. 
It tells of the life of the plains Indian in the old days, when buffalo hunting 
and journeys to war were the occupations of every man. It describes the 
every day life of the great camp, tells how the men and women passed 
their time, ‘how the young men gambled, how they courted their sweet— 
hearts, how the traders imposed on the Indians and how the different 
tribes fought together. The one central figure of the book is 
Nat-ah’-ki, 
the beautiful Indian girl who became the author’s wife. 
But it is needless to describe this book to readers of Forrest anp 
STREAM. Those who read it as a serial will surely want the: volume on 
their library shelves. Price, $1.65, postpaid.

This is the picture of an old 
time Indian of the north, one of 
those described in Mr. Schultz’s 
splendid book, ‘‘My Life as an 
Indian.” The white blanket 
coat and the handkerchief 
about the head were the char- 
acteristic dress of that time and 
that people.
