How Fish SAVED A REPoRTER's
BACoN.-0n the last up trip of the
steamer V. r. Arthur, her crew pre-
sented fne red fish to the river editor
of a morniig cotepporary. He carried
the fish to The Office and laid it away on
a pile of exchanges, until his work was
done and le was ready to seek the com
forts of hIme. At late hour in the
night. or mther an early one IN the
morning, when our friend had "pufed
his last boa and the devil had ceased
to worry hin for copy, fish in hand, he
plodded honeward. On passing lonely
spot in the bwer part of the city, he was
pounced uion by three big, burly ruff
fans, seizd by the throat, pistol
pointed athis head and his money de-
manded in rue Dick Turpin style. Our
river friendwas not lacking in spirit, but
the odds we're fearful. He raised his
hands (still .linging to his fish, in order
to expostulae, and tell the rascals that
his finance. were at low-whter mark
that in fact lis week salary was not yet
due and his asst one spent-when one Of
the scoundrls espied the fish and said,
Let him I'd Jack; be is nothing but a
d-n fisherman going to market" 1t is
needless to hy that our hero made long
strides towads home, and that the fish
was the meas Of saving his bacon. The

adventure WIS doubtless the cause of a
