SHAD-FISHING ON THE HUDSON.

Why, Joe, is that you? Where have you been all day? asked Ralph Hadley, as he met Joe Manson turning into Hillside Lane.
I've been to see the rabbit-warren at the goat-house up Hook Mountain road, replied Joe.
Hello! here comes Scott Otis, with his fish-basket. Wonder what he's after now? Can't be going over to the lake this time in the afternoon.
Where are you going, Scott? asked the boys.
Shaddin', answered Scott.
Are you going to haul the seine? inquired Joe.
Yes, if the wind goes down, about five o'clock or thereabouts.
Let's go see them! exclaimed Joe.
