Johnny's 10y ol ulossession was enhanced by thc girct that he himself had picked out the unbroken straws from the bound sheaves before the flails were put te work for threshing the pre- vious Autumn.

Johnny's heart was howl’ as he thought of the long trunp he would likely have before he'd hear old Brlndle's bell. for then the cows did not pasture behind wire fences in snug fields luscious. with white clover. Newton's few settlers had only a. small acreage under cultiva- tion. To the north of the mad and beyond the Dunk River for miles to the North.

In his most whcedling tone he pleaded, "Ma. can I take Ds's knife to cut a switch. the black cow does be awful hard to drlva."

"Ah, to be sure, 'twill be whistles you'll be whittllnf," said his mother. though she handed him down the knife as silo said it, for rarely did silo over refuse "vmc" Johnny any- tiling.

"Ne, Ma, I \\'0i'i'l-." promised Johnny. and with sudden inspira- tion he’ added. "I'll get some quill wood. if I see any." craftily figur- ing he'd install himself yet more solidly in bu mother's good grams if he supplied her with this n-eecs- sity for "putting in a xveb.” He re- Kretted this too generous promise about the whistles when he reached

Johnny walked along the banks of the Dunk-that Mecca of Isaak Walton! disciples-to a point where now a smooth road brings the sportsmen for fruitful holidays. Here a slippery foot bridge enabled Johnny to cross t0 the other side; he knew by the movement of the water that speckled trout were ﬂickering back and forth in the shadowy depths beneath hlnl; he longed for the time when his arm would have muscle enough i0 lnud the largo pink beauties.

He cut his switch for the black cow when he reached the other side. but he listened in vain for the tinkle, tinkb: of Brindles bell. Act- ing on the dictum. “Everything comes to thew who wait" Johnny wandered contentedly about and before long his interest was ub- sorbed by the giant trunk of a large birch tree brolmn off some ﬁve feet from the ground. I-lo walk- ed round it, tapped it, trying to dc- cide if it were hollow, and he lin- ally “shinn.'ed" to its jagged top.
