BY BEN HTJR LAMPMAN. SNOW-BORN and milky with glacial slit. the riotous little river tumbled down from the hills. The alders swept It as It frothed by, the budding willows bent above It, trail ing slender tips In the cold, capricious water. In chattering reaches of shal low, and breathless pauses of deep and darkened eddies, the stream counted those miles that lie between the moun tains and the calling Columbia. A trout stream, born and bred. Such water as the flashing, fearless cut throat love, and the rainbow and that poor, Quaker cousin of both the gray ling. The kingfishers knew it well, from the stark snag at the last mile to the lightning-blasted perch over the first falls. A trout stream, fresh and free, and peopled by wild, quick fish of the mountains unreproached by any hint of hatchery parentage. Trout Lie In Frothy Pool. The pool was frothy Sunday with the foam, of freed snow water,. It turned and whirled the white patches above Its ten-foot depth, eddied back toward the tumbling timbers of the ruined dam, curved again and tinkled over the riffle of rounded rocks and bright pebbles, eager to be gone. Among the tangled, trailing root ten drils of an Imperiled oak a haven for the people of the stream lay a score of trout. "It is the end of Winter and bottom feeding." piped the Littlest Rainbow, waving his variegated fins In the striving currents. "Yesterday I took a yellow fly, with white whiskers. Just one jump below the dam. I flatter myself that my father couldn't have turned a neater strike. With a flirt ha raced forward, nosed a bit of speed ing jetsam and returned. His elder 'comrades opened and shut their Jaws derisively. But the sneer of the Biggest Cut Throat was patronizing and positive. The scarlet slashes on his white Jowls bloomed vividly as he turned toward the youngster. From tip to tall, along his 18 Inches of rounded, nurtured sides, he wriggled his thousand freckles In mirth. Strike at Leaf Jeered. "Who taught you that trick, finger ling?" he jeered. "To strike at a sod den leaf! A yellow fly yesterday? 1 have my doubts, I have my doubtsl All rainbows are stupid, as my mother said." He drifted, with scarce a move ment of his bright-hued fins, to the side of the Littlest Rainbow. "Soon or late," he taunted, "you will rise to a, lure and leave ue." "It was play." The Smallest Rain bow did his best to be bold. "A leaf and nothing more. I knew It, respected sir, ere I rushed." "Faugh!" the big trout coughed, gaping till the pointed pearly teeth rows were ominous. "When I was a fingerling " j "Yes, when you were a fingerling, I mjnd it well." The new voice was gruff and gutteral. Out from the sunken roots, from a deeper lair than trout made, waddled that Everett True of the waters, the Crawfish. His beady, protuberant eyes glittered dimly, with a wary alertness, and he waved one knobby war claw in threat or greeting. The Biggest Cut Throat, who might have gulped him at one grimace, pru dently faced, the pincers. "Whil SayP Asks Trout. "What say?" demanded the big trout, truculently. "I Intended to remark that when you were a fingerling." pursued the unabashed and candid Crawfish, "you took a paltry spinner, a foolish shiny affair of brass, as all the creek knows. Pretty close to the creel then, old timer. You shouldn't brag!" He brought the war clubs down for empha sis. Twenty trout struggled with grins. - "Oh, as for that, I knew It was a pinner all the time.' rejoined the Garfield. Walla Walla, Adams. Frank lin, Grant and Douglas.

But the spots on the big trout's sides darkened with choler. "Anyway, who are you to remind me of It, you grub-hunting spawn of ugliness?" Swifter than thought he flung himself at the Craw fish, his jaws wide.- They met apace. With a single Inward stroke of his armored tall, the prey had "darted Into a rock niche. Yet the war club moved menacingly from the threshold, and the beady eyes were fearless In the shadow. Many Food Favors False. "As I was about to say," carelessly resumed the Biggest Cutthroat, turn ing again to the Littlest Rainbow, "when that Ill-mannered ruffian Inter rupted me, there are many, many en ticing food favors that are false and greatly to bo avoided." He rolled a brown-mottled eye at the six-inch pu pil. "TJh-huh," agreed the Littlest Rain bow, with fervid eagerness. A shadow fell across the broad pool, a new path of darkness lay upon the bottom, a darkness that moved hither and thither, that did not rest, unlike the familiar shade of the fringing trees. The Biggest Cut Throat lolled easily and glanced at It- His companions trembled with untaught instinctive ap prehension. . i "Now, that, for Instance, my small friend, might be a deer, or a cow or a fisherman." The Biggest Cutthroat was deliberately oracular. "But, by my gills! It is less than nothing to mo. Keep cool, fellows. If he uses the eggs of Mother Salmon, wo may, with proper craft, strip them from the hook. Risky, of course, yet I have done It. Ah I" Littlest Rainbow Goes. Lighter than a dropping leaf, there fell a fairy fly upon the surface of the pool. Its wings were a maze of color, its tall filaments were silky Iridescence. Its body of plump, yellow seductiveness. The Biggest Cutthroat rushed, caught himself midway, and dropped again to his station. But the Littlest Rainbow raced like a silver streak, straight at the prize. His fellows saw him grasp It. He was goae. They moveu swiftly about. In agitation and alarm, watching the sur face for the splash that should an nounce his return from that phenom enal foray. The strange shadow went and came again. "A Professor," commented the Big gest Cutthroat. "You needn't watch for him he won't be back. It's a fisher man, sure enough." In the foam at the foot of the dam there danced a creature of scarlet, with wings of white. The shadow moved, the enticement disappeared, to drop again at the very portal of the oak roots. Trout darted forth, gleaming with haste -and hunger, and sped back In fear to the haven of their pool. Tall Flirts Lure. "And that," observed the Biggest Cutthroat. "Is a Royal Coachman, which shall not fool me twice. Watch!" He launched himself with a powerful tall-jtroke. upward at the whirling lure. His Jaws were closed, nor did he open them to strike. Instead, at the instant of seeming capture, he whirled with a glimpse of snowy stomach, gave one derisive slap of the broad tall and left the sllicen feathers spinning In the eddy of his passag .. A cloud drifted out of the west and all shadows in the pool became one. For many minutes the trout waited for fortunes of the flood, but their awe of the Biggest Cutthroat's sagacity was theme for thought. Lazily he cruised about, conscious of his vind 'cation a.' a prophet. ' Unpretentious Fly Drops. All saw It when It dropped - an un pretentious fly of glistening black, somber as night und faithful to every tradition of trout lore, The Biggest 111 'X. S J : ''4 j I ' ' ' .J- " ?: .

"It's a Black Gnat, and the season is on!" he gasped, and struck. The pool was turmoil " Frightened trout fled from the savage descent. the Biggest Cutthroat, racing, twisting, fighting in every lithe muscular inch at the black prize that clung to his scarlet jaw The Lrothers of the Lit tlest Rainbow dashed down-stream. over the tinkling riffle. Dead leaves pun anew In the rolled water of Lhe pool. Once twice thrice, the Biggest Cutthroat leaped. The terror held him yet. Weariness came to his panting sides. The vigor of his rushes waned. Five minutes afterward the er.sode of the Black linat was finished, and he lay In the new grass of Spring, gasping in the alien air. "A pippin!" said a voice, and the pool grew Quiet again.

At the Nineteenth Hole. TT7 HOSOfeVER proposes to take up VV golf seriously must abandon all preconceived idea about the game; th fact Is, anyone who has never used a club to hit a ball with Is utterly Igno rant of tbe difficulties that lie in wait for him in practice. At first golf may strike the un initiated as an easy game, but the mo ment they try It they will realize that In order to hit the ball properly and to Impel It from hole to hole In the smallest possible number of strokes. It Is necessary to study thoroughly the science and technique of this most complicated game- All those strokes that appear the easiest are in reality the most difficult. There is no game that demands more skill or mors practice, and In which a bad stroke may have more disastrous consequences; but. on the other hand, there Is none In which a clever player can more fully develop his qualities of address and intelligence. It takes a man years sometimes to develop the use of his clubs: indeed, there are individuals who never suc ceed in doing so. The most fatal mistake the beginner can commit Is to assume that anyone can learn to play golf by him or her self, whereas the truth is the exact op posite. Before essaying a round of the links, it is better to go In for a systematic course of practice in analyzing each movement and each - paxtloular stroke i Into its component elements, and It Is only when you are able to execute these more or less automatically that you are Justified in attempting' to play over the course. One Is apt to suppose that tbe only difficult strokes are the long shots, but this is altogether a mistake. Indeed, as a general rule, it Is not these long shots that call for the highest degree of skill; there Is many a short shot every bit as difficult to bring off successfully.
