I'or the second time within five
minutes she raised the hinged cover of
lier basket and looked to see if there
was room for even one more trout,
and for the second time she lot the
cover fall back to its place. Holding
her rod out over the stream she
grasped the branch of an overhanging
tree and swung herself around into
a little open space wlieie the sun
light managed to sift through the thick
foliage. Before her lay a pool, deep and
silent, formed by several large rocks
which nearly blocked the stream. On
every side were close-growing trees,
and the woods to right and left were
softly carpeted with moss and fern.
She stood irresolute, letting her eyes
drift from her basket to the tempting
pool, where, under the deep rock
shadows she imagined many a wily
trout, waiting for that very worm or
fly which she might cave to offer; and,
as she gazed, she saw an insect drop
for a moment toward the surface.
There was a. rush, a glint of golden
scales, and then a splash, as the trout
1 caught his prey and retired to his hole.
As the ripples died away, she saw him
for a moment before he disappeared.
She straightened herself and cut a
long and pliant twig from a willow
close by. For the better preparation
| of this improved addition to her bas
! ket she seated herself on a broad, fiat
1 rock, wlich was within the shadow of
a group of hemlocks, and from which
! she could see the brook as it leaped
! and tumbled onward and downward,
j Apparently there was no way of fol
lowing it, none, at least, but by con
stant crossing and recrossing, and
sometimes taking to the water itself.
' Not that she minded that it had been
the only way up above, where the
trees grew, even thicker and the banks
wore steep beds of moss.
As she sat: there thoughtfully gaz
ing at the pool, her sharp blade bar-
I ing the white and shining wood, she
j heard the noise of breaking branches
down-stream. Silence followed, then
j the crackling again. She showed no
; signs of fear, but raised her head to
catch further sound. The branches
parted above her, so that for a mo
ment thi' sun fell upon her head and
shoulders, illuminating the soft felt
| hat of gray, half-tipped 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 long. The first thing she saw
, was the tip of a rod appearing above
! the bend. She breathed easier. An
angler need not ho feared. The head
and shoulders of a man followed. At
1 first she colud not see His face, for he
was intent on finding a means of pro
gross, and his wet leggings showed
that ho had found some difficulty al
ready.
As he slowly advanced she gained
| some idea of what he might be like,
and then, as he reached the lower end
of the pool above which she sat, he
raised his head and gazed forward,
caught his breath, and stopped short,
j as he saw her sitting there radiant
among the dark boughs. Recovered
from her first surprise, she allowed
herself to Inspect him for a moment.
And then a smile hovered about her
lips. It seemed so absurd, and she
; looked again to make sure. For she
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 wore his knickerbockers,
and brown the legglns, high above his
knees, protection from rock, brush, ami
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, and she
; knew that he must know why she
smiled. She looked up. He had doffed
his hat and stood where the light made
; gold of his hair.
"I beg pardon," he said, without
hesitation, "I fear that 1 have spoiled
, your snort lielow. I did not know
, that this was a private brook."
i "It is posted, but not by us. I had
permission from Mr. Butler last year,
j But I have spoiled your sport above;
! my basket is already full."
I "As mine. I never had such luck
as in the last 10 minutes. They have
! been coming down-stream, Hut never
| too last to stop for a tempting worm."
'A on use worms, then?"
"Yes; why not? One can't cast in a
little shaded brook like this. I find I
can get ten fish on a worm to two on
a fly. It may not be true sport, but I
j like it ; ami the llsli, if not large are all
| the more plentiful."
| "I have a large one here in the pool -
' a two-pounder. I feel sure. Would you
j land him for me, if I succeed?"
I "Yes. of course; let me bait your
hook."
I "I think you had best stay as you
are. He will dart down-stream, and it
i will be better to have you in the way
especially if my rod breaks."
She placed her knife and willow
twig on the rock by her side, and be
gan to p!| ee a wriggling worm on her
hook. She did it very carefully, per
haps from habit, perhaps because she
knew that he was closely watching
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 u response. A
second try: econd refusal t> accept
the bribe. The third time she let the
worm conic drifting down with the
current, keeping it ever in the shadow.
She saw him for a moment; then came
the rush, a great splash as she hooked
him, and then away down-stream he
dashed, bending her rod and almost
pulling it from her grasp. But tliu
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 him 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 go on down-stream now; I
have only a lialf-liour 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.
"1 think you had best 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, then started forward
more, briskly than was perhaps neces
sary. She rather expected that he
would say something more, but be let
her go on 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
several 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 gray-and
white figure. Soon she joined them,
going around through the woods to get
to the road. Her brother stood up and
greeted her with cheers as he saw the
well-filled basket and the two-pounder
held aloft. I lis ectasy knew no
bounds, and out he jumped to run to
meet her. Holding her disengaged
hand, he shouted out to his mother,—
"I guess Helen's caught the biggest
fish there was to catch!"
Her only answer was,—
"1 think I have."
And she stooped and kissed him light
ly on either cheek.—New York Home
Journal.
A I.oiHon In Ilimiiin Nature.
Hero is a conundrum that the agent
of one of the big up-town apartment
houses is wrestling with just now:
"Why is it that the S3OO n year people
always insist on inspecting apartments
that will rent anywhere from SISOO to
$-'SOO a year?" He had been overrun
with people of that sort and was worn
out with showing apartments to those
he was sure eould "not afford to hire
them. "Permits were tried on two
other buildings that the owner of this
one had, and he lost at least two ten
ants, as he found out afterward, be
eause they were not admitted to the
apartments when they went there to
inspect tlie.n without the necessary
permit, So he stopped the permit 1 u 1-
ness on this house. Now I am over
run with people who have no more in
tention of renting the apartments than
1 have of buying the Equitable I-lfe
Building. We can't always tell tiro
length of a man's pocketbonk by tire
clothes be wears, for some of the rich
est of them dress rather shabbily. I
don't kick at the men. because I can't
tell about them. But the dress atrd
style of a woman will tell whether her
husband can afford to pay S2OOO or
SSOO for rent, and I know that 1 have
shown these apartments to -17 women
by actual count this very day who arc
of the latter class. I should think it
would make them all dissatisfied for
life with what they have got to accept
for a home in the end. after inspection
of these elaborately finished apart
ments that they know as well as I
bo are utterly beyond tire reach of
their poeketliocks. But women are
queer creatures, anyway, and the man
hasn't been born yet who can fartiom
their vagaries."—New York Sun.

His cheeks lupk on a pearly pink,
His eyes a topaz blue.

He vainly was regretting;

My works must need resetting."
Out o'er the rail he leaned, beneath
The hot sun's ruby flame;
The emerald sea beneath him heaved,
And he—he did the same.

That portion of the new prison
on the Port Royal boulevard, Paris,
reserved for political offenders will
be a delightful abode. Oak tables sur
mounted by 'mirrors, supplied with
electric lights, ornamented with green
shades, are more suggestive of the
boudoir than the prison; nevertheless,
tlicy will he found there. The conver
sation room, exclusively reserved for
the prisoners and well supplied with
books, newspapers and easy chairs,
will certainly tend to make the Saute
prison more popular than the clubs,
especially as, in addition to a splendid
bath room, the prison boasts of a
garden planted with beautiful .shrubs,
which will be illuminated during the
summer months by electricity, and per
haps the French government will pro
vide a military band as well.
The prisoners on the occasion of the
riots last year in Italy did not have
an altogether bad time, on the whole.
They occupied the same large cham
ber, and, when not discussing various
questions of the day, or rending or
writing letters, each took turns at
composing a novel, the length of each
separate contribution being one para

The Finnish prison for debtors at
Helsingfors was a cheap and pleas
ant hoarding house until the last day
of 180(1, when it was closed, it hav
ing occurred to the ratepayers who
did not habitually use it that it was
an expensive luxury. Most of the In
mates who were committed for three
years preferred to stay there rent free,
and devote their funds to having a
good time rather than pay their debts
and go free. Recherche dinners were
brought in—if the debtor could pay for
them —with wines, spirits and tobac
co; and. if they wished to return any
hospitality, their friends outside th -
jail could come In for the purpose < f
enjoying the same. Of course, in this
Ideal prison, the inmates could go out
of-its precincts when they wished, but
by a cruel legal enactment thoy had to
be accompanied by a warden, who
had, however, to don plain clothes on
these occasions, so that the prisoner's
social standing should not be im
periled by being seen in the company
of an odious jailer.—Cleveland Plain

Winter Juekole.
While long coats and three-quarter
coats are the smartest for the new
winter gowns, there are any number
of short jackets that are exceedingly
attractive. They are made in both
Eton and bolero style, but the fronts
have little or nothing to do with the
original design of such coats. All the
fronts are long enough to come below
the waist-line; some are made double
breasted and perfectly flat in effect,
while others have pointed rovers that
are opened to show an inside waist
coat of some different material, a lace
yoke, and a large lace bow. Then
there is a severe little jacket that is
fastened at the throat and has long
points that hang down over the skirt,
and that is trimmed all around with
a narrow ball fringe of gold or silver.
Another jacket on the same lines Is
trimmed with narrow lines of velvet
and rows of tiny flat buttons in gold
or silver put on so that they overlap
one another. These jackets will look
too cold when really cold weather sets
in. but will make the costumes in
tended for early autumn exceedingly
gay and effective In appearance.—Har

Ilonor* for Women ArtUtn.
Only two women received the honor
able distinction of securing gold
medals in the art section of the Paris
exhibition. One of these is an Ameri
can, Miss Cecilia Beaux, and the other
an Englishwoman, Lady Alma Tade
nin. Thus are the honors evenly di
vided between the mother country and
her big daughter. Miss Beaux is a
particularly favorite artist in London.
Iler brilliant ami decidedly unfeininine
execution and Lor masterly treatment
of most of her subjects has gnined h -r
an enviable reputation among connois
seurs. She first made a sumss in
London with her wonderful studies of
children. She would go into one of
the parks and see a tiny child toddling
beside its nurse; with a few strokes of
her pencil she was able to catch an ef
fect that gave one the Idea in her sub
sequently finished work of an instan
taneous picture. She seldom troubled
to do more than finish the child's por
trait. The nurse's figure and the gen
eral surroundings were only suggested
but there was so much movement and
ingenuity displayed in the composition
that the thing seemed instinct with
life.
Lady Alma Tadema, to a certain de
gree. follows in the footsteps of her
distinguished husband: her dainty lit
tle studies of classic Roman interiors,
as well as her general treatment of
her own peculiar genre of subject and
surroundings, make her work exces
sively charming, though perhaps not
as interesting in its originality ns that
of the American artist.
New Occupation of n Woman.
There is a clever little Frenchwoman
living in New York City who has found
a new way of making a living and a
very comfortable one it Is. Many of
the residents on the upper west side of
the metropolis have children who have
been brought up from their earliest
days to speak French in the nursery.
They have the ordinary chatter of the
ordinary French governess, and this
young woman undertakes to extend
their vocabulary by a series of nature
lessons such as they would hardly be
able to get from one not specially pre-
pared to carry their kiudergartci. train,
ing to a higher point. This foung
woman has organized a series of neigh
borhood classes, and takes the mem
bers, never numbering more than a
half dozen, out to the parks or on trol
ley rides not far from town. Conver
sation while she lias the children in
charge Ss carried on entirely in French
and in that tongue this young woman
introduces her charges to the b i ds,
the trees, the flowers, the ani
mals, as well as all the
common tilings of life, the names
of which her charges might not other
wise have in their vocabulary. Such
a task would be a rather hard one for
the ordinary Frenchwoman to under
take, but this one. after an ordinary
education in a Parisian school, devoted
two years to the study of botany, ge
ology, and natural history in one of
the scientific schools in the French
capital, and has a quantity of testi
monials asserting that she is compe
tent to teach these branches to ad
vanced pupils. That indeed was to
have been her life work until a change
in the plans of her parents compelled
her to come to the United States. Such
a situation as she wished for could not
be found, and it was un inspiration
that induced her to take up this novel
mode of teaching, at which she is
meeting with success.
The Beauty of Tact.
Charms of a good talker are often
underrated by those who wish to at
tract, and therefore they spend too
much time before the mirror and too
little with their books. To talk well
it is absolutely necessary that one
should have something to talk about
and tins can only be obtained by culti
vating one's mind.
Accustom yourself to talk of what
you see and what you read. Don't
think it too much trouble to talk to
members of your own family circle,
for many a one has become taciturn
and unplcasing from thinking it not
worth while to be entertaining to the
home party.
Cutivate the habit of story tolling;
you cannot lack auditors as long as
there are children among your ac
quaintance, and trying to tell a story
in the way that will interest them
will be excellent training.
When conversing tliei-e are certain
rules which should be carefully ob
served. &poak deliberately and dis
tinctly and not too loudly; rapid and
noisy speech is wearying. Find out
whether the person you are entertain
ing prefers to talk or to listen, and
govern yourself accordingly.
As far as possible avoid all mention
of unpleasant topics, and try to ttiul
out what is interesting to your com
panion. Home sympathetic folk seem
to have a genius for saying the right
thing, and it is certainly a faculty
which can be cultivated.
Never talk of yourself and your pri
vate affairs, except to intimate friends;
it is bad form and it generally bores
people. Avoid, also, all unkind and
censorious remarks about others,
even though they may be witty, and
never, if you can help it, make person
al remarks, unless they are some
thing in the nature of a delicate com
pliment. If others say the wrong
thing, try io cover their error.
The gold trimming craze is seen
everywhere.
Iteddish brown is an especially
fnvored shade.
Wonderful diversity is found in the
new combinations of fabrics.
Panne is a favorite material for elab
orate and costly tengowns and negeli
gees.
Many house waists have a square
neck in front, filled in with tucked or
gandie or chiffon.
New hats for the most part set well
over the face, with very heavily
massed trimming all in front.
Skirts are still pretty much the same
in shape, with lint, smooth hacks of in
verted plaits, gathers or sliirrings.
1' ino hemstitching and drawn work
add much to the daintiness of the more
expensive lingerie for trousseaux.
Separate waists of fancy description
only of a tint to match the skirt, con
stitute tile latest wrinkle in silk waists.
Direct front fastenings are quite rare
011 jackets and waists. Double-breast
ed affairs or those butoned a little 4
to one side are seen the most.
Empire styles—First Empire, of
course—hold full sway and are dis
tinguished liy statuesque, straight, fall
