pleasant a half-hour for many and
many "a day.
There chanced to come along- the
platform a little. wiry, elderly man,
with a wholesome -looking. weather -
tanned face, who was ca.rryin'g a
bundle of fishing -rods over his sheet -
der; and seeing how Ronald was en-
gaged he spoke to him in passing; and
began to talk about the .dogs,
"IPerhaps they're your dogs?" !Ron-
ald said.
"No, no, our folk are a' fishing
folk,'" said the little old man, who was
probably a gardener or solnethin'gof
the kind; and who seemed to take
readily to this new acquaintance.
"I've just been ill to !Glasgow- to get
a rend mended: and to bring sub a new
ane that the laird has 'bought fir
himself."
He grinned in a enrious, sarcastic
way.
"',He's rather a wee matt; and this

He was a friendly old mean; and this
joke of his master having bought so

when Ronald asked to he allowed to
see this formidable weapon, he said
at once -
"Just you come along outside there,

a. very fine rod, for all that; and so
beautifully balanced and so !heautifu ly

or two passes through the air with it,
could 1101 help saying to the old man
-and rather wistfully 'too ---
''1 :oppose ye rlinna 'happen to have

"That !I have," was the instant e+.i-
