The fisherwoman held fast, but In stopping his rush lost her balance and went splash into the pool. As she fell Wilmer understood—her feet were ab solutely bare. Tie plunged in. The pool was well over Ills head, but it was nothing to tiring the girl safe to the bank. She still held the line.

There was an eddy at the tree foot, with a deeplab pool under neatli. Trout lurked in the pool, so big and wary they were the despair }f all neighborhood fishermen. The Ennis boy, of course, had told Wilmer all about them. Wilmer, In deed. bad found the lad much like a local chronicle. In the week since he had established himself nt the Ennis farmhouse he had been possessed of at least half the ins and outs of Brush creek neighborhood. Ostensibly Wilmer was a vagrant va cationer; really he was looking out for remnant tracts of hardwood timber. A new railway was mooted, not yet even In the air. but in the minds of certain men.
