Thrilling- Tale of a Ilattle With a Monster Speckled Trout A Guest Story. It I HAVE HAD many days' fishing,'' said the veteran angler as he set tled back in a chair at The Holly Inn, the other evening, "and I've enjoyed the sport in quite a range of territory, but the best days' sport I ever had in my life was at a small and unknown pond, dreamed about, and it's well worth the journey for the experience.' uAnd so we started, lugging a canoe and supplies for a week, and reaching our destination after fourteen hours of tedious, difficult travelling. 44It was a strangely wild and beautiful place, and I believe the guide was right when he said that he didn't believe the place had been fished more than' half a dozen times in the last twenty years. "The pond lies in a niche in the moun tains, and the stern cliffs rise straight out of the water on all sides, and the water is as cold as ice and as clear as crystal, evidently supplied from cold springs underneath. Great spruce and cedar trees have fallen down the moun tain sides and are piled up in the water in reckless confusion, beneath which are P a IS nt-' z- " - - n- Sl'KING DAYS AT PINEIIUUST. called Little Dingley, lying at the headwaters of the Penobscot river, in Northern Maine.

"As I stood on the shore the morning after our arrival and looked across the little sheet, barely a quarter of a mile wide, and not more than twice as long, I felt amply repaid for the hardships of the journey, for there is no stranger freak of nature in the Maine wilderness. Directly in the centre of the pond two huge twin rocks rise straight out of the water, which, ten feet away, is ap parently bottomless. "Breakfast over, the guide was push ing the canoe toward those huge rocks. Reaching them we alighted on one and he instructed me to cast my flies over by the side of the other boulder, which was some thirty feet away. "Half a dozen times the flies trailed
