But the child-like quality that [ | had noticed in his voice before I turned and recognized him was even more strongly marked in his face and his -great mournful brown eves. [ had no more fear of him than T would have had of a gentle boy. I had time for a comprehensive look at him before I answered his | question. He was a man of average | height and of spare frame, on which worn but neat clothes hung as if the | ' man had wasted from former flesh. ‘When he had laoked wildly at us through the underbrush 1 had thought his beard was brown, but as 1 looked again I saw that while it and his hair were now heavily streaked with silver. His face was pale and almost emaciated, but his eyes could not have changed since his long-past | bovhood. Gentleness and goodness an indefinable something else which told me that the brain' behind those »s was more or less clouded. He had fixed his eyes on the water as he asked the question of me. When 1 did not at once answer, he turned to me again. “Is it that vou do not like ta fish?"” he asked as if puzzled. ' I answered him truthfully. T felt inexplicably that it would be as im- possible to give him an evasive answer as it would be to put aside an earnest child’s questioning. “I should very much like to fish, but T do not know how,” I returned. “Where is the man?” This was his next question, and I resolved ta find out the reason of his unreasoning caught sight of Dicky and ‘me. “Do you mean the man who was with me when you ran away up the hill?” T asked. He hung his head as a small hoy caught in a fault might have done, “I was frightened at first,” he mumbled. “I thought it was the | watching you and vou looked so kind | and good T knew vou weren’ BRGDRIB & WHEELER 138 Main treet i stance T oAt When Your Telephone Rings.

They were shin- | ing luminously at me, filled with| eagerness.. To have refused his offer | would have been like depriving a child of some pleasure. | The First Cast, | “Thank you,” I said quietly. *“You are very kind. I shall be glad to have | you teach me.” He came down the bank eagerly and ! “You-do not need to move from where you are standing,’” he said. I had arisen from my seat upon the stone when he came down the bank. “Just take the rod in your hand so.” He placed the rod in my hand and put my thumb against the reel. His touch was gentle and delicate as a woman’s. “Look,” he directed. ‘This releases the reel. When vou cast be careful | not to let your line get tangled among | the stones, ar caught in the trees over | vour head. Just lift your rod in this | fashion—so.” He raised my fingers as | they clasped the rod, and illustrated | his meaning. 1 lifted my rod, and made my first | attempt at casting, Dicky, my sur- roundings, everything forgotten in my excitement at having realized a long- | cherished dream. At my first attempt only a tiny bit of line unreeled, with | my second the line flew over my head and the flies caught in the underbrush. | My unknewn friend carefully and | | patiently untangled them, arranged | the reel and put the Tod in my hand again. “Don't get discouraged,” he said in | his curiously melodious voice. “All beginners do those things at first.” And Dicky Arrived. My next attempt was more credit- able, and for fully ten minutes I practised diligently under the scrutiny of my companion, whom even my in- experience recognized as a skilled angler. Then the mement I had been wait- | ing for came. I felt a swift jerk at my line, and then the line went out so fast that it burned my thumb. “Let him have it for a minute, whispered my companion. ‘Now, reel him in, slowly, very slowly. There he goes again. Now pull him again, nearer this time. I'll land him for you this f@me.” Ho sprang down to the water's edge with my landing | net in his hand. When he had landed the fish and had taken the hook out I could not forbear a little squeal of excitement—I had hardly dared to ‘breathe before. “Oh! what a beauty!” T exclaimed, bending over the net in which a big| gpeckled trout thrashed madly. i “Beginners’ luck,”’ the man said| with a little courtly bow, which seme- how did not seem incongruous wven with his threadbare appearancey DBMA | | | | | I think this will be your last fish to-, day. You did that very well.” I had been so absorbed in the fish and its capture that I had not noticed Dicky's approach. His voice startled me so that I fairly jumped. ‘What in thunder does this mean, Madge ?”” he demanded angrily ECZEMA CAUSED YEARS OF INTENSE AGONY “I have suffered intense agony from | Fczema on my leg and other parts of | my body for y and received only | temporary relief from other prepara- tions. 1t is only a month since I start- ed to use PETIERSON'S OINTMENT, | and there is no sign of Iiczema or itching.

Years ago, when I first started to put out PETERSON'S OINTMENT, T made up my mind to give a big box for 25 cents, and I'm still doing it, as every druggist in the country knows. I guarantee PETERSON’S OINT- MENT because T know that its mighty healing power is marvelous. I say to every one who buys a box that it is rigidly guaranteed for Eczema, Salt Rheum, Old Sores, Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles, Ulcers, Skin Dis- eases, Chafing, Burns, Scalds and Sun- burn, and if not satisfactory any drug- gist will return your money. 2 & Bl = KRUBK | - . 4 Cyrigtmas Bigion § Perfect vision—the most price- & lessofall possessions!
