MATHEWS. £ For the second time within Ave minutes she raised the hinged cover of her basket and looked to see if there was room for even one more trout, and for the second time she let the ' cover full back to its place. Holding her rod out over the stream she grasped the branch of an overhanging tree and swung herself around Anto a little open space where the »un- I light managed to sift through the thick I foliage. Before her lay a i>ool, deep and ' silent, formed by several large rocks j which nearly blocked the stream. On | every side were close-growing trees, | and the woods to right and left were 1 softly carpeted with moss and fern, j She stood irresolute, letting her eyes : drift from her basket to thff tempting pool, where, under the deep rock ! shadows she imagined many a wily ! trout, waiting for that very worm or fly which she might care to offer; and, as she gazed, she saw an insect drop for a moment toward the surface, i There was a rush, a glint of golden ; scales, and then a splash, as the trout | caught his prey and retired to his hole. ! As the ripples died away, she saw him j for a moment before he disappeared. | She straightened herself and cut a ; long and pliant twig from a willow j close by. For the better preparation of this improved addition to her bas i ket she seated herself on a broad, flat rock, wheli was within the shadow of a group of hemlocks, and from which ! she could see the brook a.sit leaped and tumbled onward and downward. ! Apparently there was no way of fol lowing it, none, at least, but by con ! stant crossing and recrossing, and : sometimes fnkiug to the water Itself, j Not that she minded that—it had been the only way up above, where the trees grew, even thicker and the banks were steep beds of moss. As she sat there thoughtfully gaz ing at the pool, her sharp blade bar ing the white and shining wood, she I heard the noise of breaking branches down-stream. Silence followed, then : the crackling again. She showed no i signs of fear, but raised her head to j catch further sound. The branches parted above her, so that for a mo ment the sun fell upon her head and ■ shoulders, illuminating the soft felt hat of gray, lialf-tlpped one side, though whether from choice or the brush of a bough one could hardly say. She did not resume her work again, but gazed toward a bend below, all eagerness and attention, prepared for whatever .might appear. The waiting was not lung. The first thing she saw was the tip of a rod appearing above , the bend. She breathed easier. An , angler need not be feared. The head and shoulders of a man followed. At 1 first she colud not see his face, for he ; was intent on linding a means of pro gress, and his wet leggings showed that he had /ound some difficulty al ready. As he slowly advanced she gained some idea of what he might be like, and then, as ho reached the lower end of the pool above which sin; sat, he raised his head and gazed forward, caught his breath, and stopped short, as he saw her sitting there radiant among the dark boughs. Recovered from her lirst surprise, she allowed herself to inspect him for a moment. I And then a smile hovered about her i lips. It seemed so absurd, and she looked again to make sure. For she j found that his clothes, barring the one everlasting difference, were al most the counterpart of her own. The same soft gray hat, a shirt of finest ! texture, white like her waist; a bit of a blue tie at the throat; his sleeves rolled above the elbows, as were her own. Gray were his knickerbockers, and brown the leggins. high above his knees, protection from rock, brush, and stream. All this she took In at a glance, and then her eyes fell to her short gray skirt, and again that faint smile brightened her face, anil she knew that he must know why she smiled. She looked tip. He had doffed hla hat and stood where the light made guld of his hair. "I beg pardon." he said, without hesitation, "1 fear that I have spoiled your sport below. I did not know j that this was a private brook." '•lt Ih posted, but not by us. I had permission froiu Mr. Butler lust year. Hut I have spoiled your spurt above; Biy basket is already full." "As mine, l never had such lurk a* In the last lo minutes. They have | been coming down stream, hut never tt»i last lo stop for a tempting woriu." | "You use worms, then?" I "Yes; why not / One can't east in a little shuded brook like this.l tlnd I ! can get ten fish on a worm to two on j a fly.

Would you | laud hltu for me, If 1 succeed?" "Yes, of course; lei me bull your feuofc " "I think you liad best stay us you •re ||e will dart down stream, and It Will W Ijeller lo huve you lu the way especially If my roil breaks." Nlie placed her knife and willow •win ou the ro«k by her side, uud !*• fan lu pUcB a wriggling worm on Uer 112 nooit. sne aid It very carefully, per* haps from habit, perhaps because she knew that he was closely watching her. Stepping out on the edge where she could see every part of the pool except beneath the rocks, she dropped the worm. gently into the water near where the trout had disappeared. She waited, but there was no response. A second try; a second refusal to accept the bribe. The third time she let the worm come drifting down with the current, keeping It ever in the shadow. She saw him for a moment; then came the rush, a great splosh as she hooked him, and then away down-stream he dashed, bending her rod and almost pulling It from her grasp. But the man below caught the flying line and with more dexterity than sportsmen would have had him show, pulled the defeated trout toward land, and put an end to his worldly cares. A minute later he had slipped him on the willow twig and held it up for her approval. "Thank you so much. I should not have had liini but for you. I think I can rest content now." She sat down again and picked up her knife and closed it, putting it back in the pocket of her skirt. In doing so she glanced at her watch. "I must goon down-stream now; I have only a half-hour to reach the lum ber-road below. I thank you again for this prize, and I trust you will still find some good fellows left up-stream." "May I not see you down to the road? There's hardly a place for you to get through." "Oh! 1 can manage nicely. It is part of the sport, and I am prepared for any thing." She grasped her pole and took a step or two forward, on the opposite side of the pool from him. 'May I not know your name, or hope to ever see you again?" There was a genuine ring in "his clear voice. "I fliink you had lust not know my name—for the rest I can not say. Ac cidents will happen, you know. Per haps we may meet. I trust you will have good luck. Good-morning." She hesitated, flien started forward more, briskly than was perhaps neces sary. She rather expected that he would say something more, but he let her goon in silence. She did not turn, but went straight on. Once she slipped on the mossy rocks and nearly fell; but he was still silent, and she went on and was lost to view as she turned the bend below. He stood on the flat rock, his arms crossed, gazing after her, listening to the breaking of the branches. And so noon came and went. Absolute quiet returned to the woods, except as the brook bubbled and sang. The trout returned to their favorite holes and forgot the troubles of the morning, but there above them, like a sentinel, stood a young man, looking forward into the unfathomable depths of the future. * A mile below, at noon, a carriage had driven slowly across an old bridge Peveral times. In it there was a lady and a small boy. Sometimes the boy begged the coachman to drive farther away, but finally they were rewarded by seeing a well known gra.v-and whlte figure. Soon she joined them, going around through the woods to get to the road. Her brother stood up ami greeted her with cheers as he saw the well-tilled basket and the two-pounder held aloft. Ilis ectasy knew no bounds, and out he jumped to run to meet her. Holding her disengaged hand, he shouted out to his mother. — "1 guess Helen's caught the biggest fish there was to catch!" Her only answer was, — "I think I have." And she stooped and kissed him light ly on either cheek.—New York Home Journal. A l,p*i»n In Human Nature.

As shown, however, it is made of beaver broadcloth in hunter's green, and is finished with tailor stitching and lined throughout with silk of the same shade. Wise mothers include the silk lining even if economy must he prac ticed in other ways, as nothing else allows the coat to be slipped on and off with ease. Both fronts and back are loose fit ting in box stylo, and hang stylishly from the shoulders. The underarm seams are provided with underlaps and left open for a few inches at the lower edge to allow greater freedom, and the stitching of the back holds the overlap in place to the seam.

A Popular Sliort Skirt. The popularity of the short skirt for walking, shopping and nil the out-door occupations Increases with each week. As some one has wisely said, It makes the first step 111 real dress reform. To be without It means to bo out of style, and to endure discomfort with out end. The May Manton model il lustrated in the large drawing Is cut in five gores, and is essentially practica ble as well as smart. As shown. It Is of double-faced golf cloth with an ap plied sluii d facing of the same, tail or stitched in evenly spaced rows, and falls to the instep, but it can lie made shorter if desired, and of any sufficiently heavy cloth or cheviot- Fashion leaves the exact length a matter of discretion, all variations from the skirt that just clears the ground to tin l oue tliit falls to tlie ankles only being w >ru.

A lSlack Velvet Evening Gown. An evening gown h of black velvet, unrelieved by any trimming whatever, made princess fashion. The rich tones of the velvet bring out with all possible effect the red gold hair and cream complexion of tlie wearer. The shoulder straps are emerald and dia mond chains, and the decolletage s bordered with soft folds of creamy white chiffon. Overdoing (lie Gold Fad. The present gold craze carries with it a warning, for, while there is no doubt that a dash of gold, on certain shades especially, adds general attrac tiveness to the costume, the great dan ger is that it will be overdone. There are so many objections to mock finery that ere long the fashionable world is going to turn against the gold fad with a vengeance. White is Very I'opular. White has not been so popular in years as now. It takes the lead in evening gowns, and much jeweled net and brilliant passementerie are used for its decoration. Green spangles on white are among the newest decora tive devices. The latest Slreet Glove. The latest street slnve is of heav? skin, fastened witli one large pearl stud.
