Never in his life had he been so happy as he had been this summer until the advent of the incapable mother and sister upon whom the mald lavished her young life brought the beginning of the end. And the mald, watching him fur tively, goaded her pride with his in. difference: her mother had been right, he cared for nothing but him. self. 8he ought to be happy that she had found it out in time. And she renewed her debotion to the loved ones to whom she meant 80 much, A night journey alone in the jolting jocal train was very distasteful-—even a little fearful—to the mald, but it seomed advisable that she go ahead to have everything prepared for the reception of her mother and sister when they should return home from this outing that meant therely a pleasant recreation to them, and so much misery to her! Just what this return to the old life would be she dared not consider; he might not be deserving, yet her heart ached under its jaunty garment of pride, Nervously she dismissed the cab. man, and hastened into the bright, orowded station.

There are people in the world who will hardly believe that fish can be trained to be shy. Training, they ap- prehend, has the effect of producing confidence, and even boldness in some creatures, Shyness is a quality inher ited by nature, they say, and is a grait, under some circumstances, to he eliminated. This is a case illus trative of the wonderful play which it is possible to place upon many of our English words. We are reminded of the Frenchman who enlarged upon this peculiarity of our tongue. “You gay ‘fine’ for beeg tings and ‘fine’ for leetle tings. You say elephant is ‘fine’ animal and the needle be ‘fine.’ You say ‘fine’ day when it is glorious, and the rain when it is ‘fine.’ very fine’ ™ After all, it very economical to be able to condense, so to speak, our vocabu- lary in this way and utilize one small word to convey so much. The fact is, we say that fish are shy when they really are cunning-—but it is the kind of cunning which is Indicated by this word-shy. We find also that there are degrees and varying qualities of shyness, judged by fishermen's par lance. The fish are said to be gut shy, hook shy, shy this and shy that which indicates that the evolution along this {ine is going ahead. ATTORNEYS. mel D. P.
