be fishermen to earn living is plain to see,

must be butchers, though no one can con-

blissful experience is there about
it that so many men find in it
the cream of recreation. When man sits
silent on rivers bank for hours holding
fishing pole, what is it that enters his soul

the young lady thought herself qualified for
that position she could have the name and
location on payment of dollar. Mademol-
selle replied that such position would suit
her far better than the more mental place;
that she had been the friend and compan-
ion of Nine. Boinat in Paris, and had trav-
eled with that lady until she died in Switz-
erland. The dollar was paid and the clerk
told his pretty customer to apply in person
10 a well-known society lady on West
Spruce street. The same afternoon the
French woman rang the bell of the
FASHIONABLE RESIDENCE.
She was admitted BY the servant, to whom
she gave a card bearing the name, Louise
BOurQuin, Paris" In few moments the
mistress of the house entered the parlor,
and asked the usual preliminary questions
about the applicants references, her for
mer employers and her capacity. The an
swerS were straightforward and given with
such an engaging righteousness that the
West Spruce street matron was charmed,
and engaged the little French woman on
the spot. There was only one favor that
Louise would ask, and that was that she
would be permitted to bring with her two
pigeons winch 1au D66n given H0T III rIdHcc

days she spent i'll her native city. There
were tears in the little wOman'S eyes as she
spoke Of her past, and her employer felt
