It is remarkable what sizable ro
mances small bits of territory nre ca
pablo of pi jilncing timler favorable con
ditloiis. Though containing but clr or
eight acres, Itattleauako island forms
tho Bceno of quite an interesting epimdo
aloug this line. The island lies nlnmt
two miles to the northeast of Put-iii-llav.
From its jiecnliar formation tho island
is generally supposed to have derived its
name, though some assert that Iho ivp
pollation was bestowed in cousormence
of tho illimitable quantities of thorattle-
t ailed species which rendezvoused in and
among tho creviced und caverneil rocks.
From theso fastnesses they wero wont to
wriggle forth into aggressive promi
nence, hissing and clicking their spite
and whipping tho surrounding vegeta
tion until everything looked blue.
An ablo accessory in tho dispersion of
this reptile host was undoubtedly veetid
in tho brawn and muscle of old Hank
Hammond, wlm, with his family, locat
ed on tho island. Old Hank wuMi"t
afraid of rattlesnakes, evidently, and
prided himself manifestly upon owning
and oconpying with his household gods
a wholo islatid, which, if not very big,
was at least far enough removed from
adjacent isles to afford amplo seclusion
So at least he imagined. And so in lv ili
ty it might have proven but for the single
ohtrnsivo fact that tho old codger was
posfccssedof several comely daughters,
and since "love laughs nt locksmiths."
scales heights inaccessible, traversesMis-
tnnces immeasurable and achieves im
possibilities of nil sorts, this blind hut
activo imp wai not long in finding his
way to Hattlesnakc iiland.

hair a ilnff of golden brown. Sho vow

reveling in nd venture, too, on thoipter
liko n dnck. She was an expel t at fish
ing and fowling, could manipulate apah
of oars with admirable skill, and with n
light skiff was accustomed to cross fre
quently, sometimes alone, tlio two mile
stretch of water which intervened lie-
tween Rattlesnake nnd Fnt-in.B.ij",
At tho latter placo eho speedily be-
camo tho attraction of n youthful fish
crman, who inadvertently crossed her
path ono Tom Taylor. After this de
velopment there was no moro peace for
Rattlesnake. From time to time its
vicinity was haunted by a spectral sail
which circled about tlio island, edging
nearer and nearer nt each cruise; until
one day it lay lunched close by the
"grout" houso of Hank Hammond. At
beck of the llttlo winged god Tom Tay
lor and his boat had followed the charm
er to her rocky retreat. This being his
first experience in courtship, however,
Tom proved n bit fresh, and his bashful
ness was excruciating. His feeblo ad
vances were regarded Willi apparent dis
favor, the coy maiden turning a deaf
car to his importunities, until in .blank
despair ho shook tho dust of rtattlc
enako from his feet.
Ono early spriug day, some month's
following tlio collapse of Tom's lovo af

swoops down npon the islands unan
nounced, struck Pnt-in-Bay witli n force
that wrenched limbs from trees and sent
the troubled seas sporting up tho rocks
in blinding showers. Looking from her
window an old woman who occupied n
cottago on Hast Point thought she espied
a small boat far out on thelako driving
eastward beforo tlio gale. From a shelf
she snatched a pair of field glasses,
through which she took a second obser
vation. Yes, the boat was ovidently
drifting at the mercy of tho wind nnd
current. Not an oar was iu motion.
Only a single occupant could bo dis
cerned, and that a female. With breath
less haste the old woman rushed along
tho shore to a little cove, where among
the trees stood n fish shanty. Within
an angle of the L-shaped dock Severn1
boats lay moored, nnd two fishermen
dressed in yellow oilers and son'westers
were coal tarring twine over a smoking
kettle on the shore. One of these indi
viduals proved to lio our friend, Tom
Taylor. Tom took the field glasses prof
fered by theecaredoldlady, nnd through
them examined the drifting boat.
"lilast my buttons if it ain't a wom
an!" he exclaimed, With two or three
long stride! he ranched the dock ami be
gan unfastening a bout.
"What yon goin to dor" demanded his
oonvpanion.
"uoln to pick up that skiff. Come on,
Jim."
Jim demurred, timing that no boat
could live long in such n sea and that it
was just fooitmrjty to venture.

The election ciwiuonles to the Skull
and Bonos, Scroll nnd Key, nnd Wolf's
Head societies of Yale university nre
very Impressive. Tim memlievs of Hie
jnnlor class 011 the afternoon of this day
gather in little knots in front of one of
tlio big buildings which nre used by the
scholars ns sleeping rooms. Tho win
dows of every other building which
commands n view of the cxpectnnt stu
dents on tho campus below nro crowded
with other scholars and their friends.
Suddenly n solemn looking young man
comes around tt corner of one of the dor
mitories. Ho goes straight toward tho
waiting crowd without n word to any
one. lie walks in among tho fellows,
many of whom nro his friends, without
noticing anybody. Kvery other student
stands perfectly still, and without turn
ing his head follows with his eyes the
movements of tho mysterious looking
fellow who has recently appeared and
who Is going up and down, upand down,
in and out, in nnd out ninongtho crowd,
looking nt noliody, spenking to no oiih,
apparently seeing nothing. Then he
goes around in a circle. All hold their
breath. Tho people in tho windows on
every side lean 11 littlo farther out nnd
watch with increased interest. It Is n
moment of intense snspcnsel All of 11
sudden tho quiet man, on whom every
body's cj es nro fastened, slaps n fellow
student right between tho shoulders nnd
almost knocks him over.
Then a great shout uoes tin! Tho
students on tho campus are yelling them
selves hoarse. The crowded windows
nro alivo with frantic men nnd women
who nro waving handkerchiefs nnd hats,
clapping linnus and lauchlns. each add
ing something to the terrible uproar.
Meanwhile tho student who was slapped
on tho back is tho happiest man In tho
immense crowd, for ho has been elected
a member of Skull nnd Bones, tho fa
mous secret society of tho university.
1 no first tiling tho rortnnate student
does when ho realizes that ho has been
slapped is to go straight to his room, with
out a woid to his most intimate chum,
or even to tho man who has so rudely
Btmck him. Ho is followed by tho innn
who did the slapping, and who nil this
time has not even so much as smiled or
said "Hallo" to any one in fact has
not recognized tho man ho is following
except by the slap.
Nobody knows, except these two, what
takes placo in the room, and tho men
are not seen again that day, for the In
terest of tho peopli) outside is centered
on another man who has como from the
samo direction us tho first one, nnd who
is going through exactly tho Baine per
formances that the first fellow executed.
When lie finally slaps a man, another
great shout goes up, and then theso two
students go nway to the room of tho ono
whoso back has lieen Blapped. Theso
scenes aro repeated until f ort3--fivo mon
have been slapped, for that is tho num
ber composing the threo societies. Each
society is made up of fifteen men, no
more nnd no less, and each member is
said to chooso one student.
When tho forty-five have been selected
tho elections nre over nnd the people go
homo feeling that they liavo witnessed
an event moro interesting and more ex
citing than tho graduating exercises
which take place when u wholo class are
about to leovo tho school. Nothing more
is done to the students who liavo been
slapped until the next Tuesday, What
occurs then is seen by nobody except n
few of the students who gather in front
of tho secret society houses.
The names even of the societies aro
not known. They aro called Skull and
Bones, Scroll anil ivey, and Wolf s
Head, because each member wears a
little gold pin, with ono or another of
theso objects on it as the case may bo.
The hkuii ana uones pin is n horrid
bit of gold in tho ehiipo of a human skull
and crossbones. Tho Scroll nnd Key,
as the name implies, is made up of a
small sheet of gold, like an ancient piece
of iiper. On tho scroll is a key, above
the key are tho letters "U. S, P," aud
below the key aro the letters "C, C. J."
What they stand for oivy the wearers of
tho pins know.
The other society has for its pin a lit
tle gold head ot a savage looking wolf,
Often the eyes aro made of two brightly
sinning diamonds.
Another wonderful thing about these
pins is that the wearer never loses one.
He never lays it down even for n second.
Of course they have to bathe, and how
do you so suppose they do then? You
would think they would have to luy the
pin aside at that time anyway, wouldn't
you? But they dou'ti they hold the bit
of gold in their months!
Bones is the oldest of the three so
cieties. Tradition has it that the pins
first appeared 111 ivst. About ten years
later men who had expected uu election
to "Bones" nnd were disappointed or
ganized the Scroll and Key. Wolfs
Head was founded less than ten years
ago, bat today is almost as exclusive in
its memliershlp as either of the others.
In fact it generally represents as umcli
wealth among its members ns tho two
other societies combined. New ork

AN ADIRONDACK FISH STORY.
A (lolil Wutili I'minil In.lrtn n l'lekerel
That llnd lleen Sunllowct.
The scene of the following Incident
was about forty miles from Glovers
vllle, on n lienntlful Utile lako just
across the table land nt Piseco lake in
Hamilton county. The lake is not large,
in no place being more than a milo wide,
while it measures from two to three
miles long. Tho day was all that a
fisherman could desire, nnd every condi
tion was right for good fishing. A'party
of three wero In the Iwat, namely, L. E.
Everest; his friend, Professor Sjiencer,
from Brooklyn, nnd the writer. They
had driven up from Gnrogn nud were
moro than delighted with their luck.
They had taken nearly fifty pickerel in
less than half n day, nnd the size was
good, weighing from 2i, to 0 pounds.
Tlio Inst turn around tho "lucky point"
wns lieing made before we started fur
home. Everest, who was trolling nne
of the Hues, said:
"l'vo got nnother; he's a good big one
from the way he pnlls."
Everest let him play at ono time near-;
ly 200 feet of lino beforo tho fisli could
bo turned. When ho had been brought
into sight ho was not so large as some i
wo had already In tho boat, but there
was an unusual motion nil about lnm.
Soon tho Hue was drawn so tightly it;
was necessary to let him play again.
When brought back it was discovered
that a larger pickerel had attempted to
swallow the one on the hook, which wns
now quite exhausted.
Tho big fellow still followed, shnrk
llko, for tho dead body of his victim,
which, liowovcr, wo were not disposed
to giro up. Just as Everest was about
to swing tho fish on his hook into the
boat tho professor took up tho oar, hop
ing to striko nnd thus enpture tho largo
one. The movement of the oar attracted
the attention of the fish, nnd in n twin
klo ho made a pass at it. The blade was
about seven Inches wide, but his jaws
grated across tho tipper and lower edge,
sawing a groovo iu either sido with his
sharp teeth.
The prof ossor, by carrying tho oar for
ward with tho movement of tho fish, nt
the samo timo raising it from tho water,
lauded t: huge fellow into the boat.
Ho weighed 13!i pounds. Tho fish on
tho hook only weighed three pounds, but
showed signs of battle, being bitten in
several place. Upon opening him wo
fonnd, as Is often the case, a fish of
smaller size 111 his stomach, This one
showed signs of life, nnd wns opened.
Wo then discovered a pretty littlo gold
chatelaine watch, and were surprised
that tho time ngreed with our watches
and that it was running.
More than pleased with our fishing ex
pedition, wo returned to tho Adirondack
hotel, and informed Landlord George
A. McCoy of our hick, at the same time
showing the watch. In less than two min
utes all the guests about the house were
in the office, nnd among the number 11
pretty young lady from Albany, who
said the watch was a token of friendship
which she had prized very highly. When
on tho lake in tho early part of tho day
it had fallen into tho water, and she sup
posed was lost. It is needless to.say she
was overjoyed at its recovery. Albany

Only Man i;cr Killed by m Meteor.
To the writer's certain knowledge
there is but ono case on record where a
human being has been killed by an aero
lite or fall of meteoric 6tonc. Tho fa
tality mentioned occurred in Whetstone
township, Crawford county, O., in 18,5,
and is recorded in tho Bncyrns Journal
as follows:
As David Misenthaler, tho famous
stockman, of Whctstono township, was
driving his cows to the liurn about day
light this morning he was Btmck by an
aerolite and instantly killed. It appears
as if the stone had coino down from n
direction n little west of south, striking
the man just under or on the right
shoulder, passing obliquely through
him from tho right shoulder to just
above the left hip, burying tho greater
portion of his body under itself in the
.soft earth. The stone is abont tho tize
of a wooden water bucket, and appears
to bo composed or pyrites 01 iron. Phil

Uoe.n't Like Policemen
There is a horso in this town which
has a doublo mission In life. One part
of it is to get to fires an rapidly ns possi
ble with a ton or two of apparatus be
hind it! the other Is to make ns many
vacancies ns possiblo in the polico force.
The animal is a valuable one, well
trained nnd good to look at. For tho
firemen it has a professional regard, to
ward citizens in general it has tho
haughtiness which generally .goes forth
with a place in the public service, but
toward policemen It displays tho fiercest
of antipathies. The horse belongs to
one of the companies stationed far down
town, and the engine house i rather
cramped. People having occasion to
enter the place ha e to pass close to the
animals stall, and as a result tue mem
ber of tho police force wlio has business
in the houso is likely to hare a lively
time of it. To be safe he has to climb
around liack of a tender nnd then make
his way along with the caution needed
to keep him out of range of the horse's
hoofs.
If he come near the animal, it is a
blto or n kick, according to the end
which is approached. The Bremen who
are thoroughly acquainted with the pe
culiarities of the steed have a very rea
sonable explanation of it aversion to
brass buttons. It is that at some time a
policeman clubbed it, at a time when
the excitement of a nre made nini lor-
get that perhaps a horse may have a
longer memory than, a taxpayer aud
more time to devote to carrying out
scheme of revenge. Ever since that
day no policeman lias been able to ap
proach the horse without having good
reason to repent hi temerity. New

1-oiul of Simple Diet.
The Astor Homo has among its regu
lar patrons of the lunch counter in the
rotunda one gentleman who for a period
of ten years, summer and winter, has
scarcely varied his diet for his noonday
meal.
IIo Is a tall, athletic man, always woll
dressed and appears to be. If not
wealthy, n man in excellent circum
stances. It must lie from choice then
and not pecuniary reasons that each day
in tho year ho orders regularly n bowl of
milk and n plato of crackers, and con
cludes the repast with a chocolate eclair
In winter nnd a dish of lierries in sum
mer. The gentleman for fully n half score
of years has not altered this order.
Whether ho is interested in a dairv and
desires to popnlarlzo 11 milk diet no one
seems to know. That the food agrees
with him is evident from his appearance,
and n mere glance only is conclusive
evidence that ho most thoroughly en
joys the refreshing repast.- New York
