After this sell had almost given up,

to abandon the affair, when q faint

crouch as low as possible once more.
1t was no hoax this time. A short,
thin man, whom I could easily recog-
nlze as a man-of-all-work who had
been helping the gardener that day,
was creeping stealthily down theroad,
close to the bushes. As soon as he
reached the spot where the box had
been thrown, he lit lantern to aid
him in his search This time I felt

AT MESSINA.
A Place Sacred to the Appealing Sarilin

"A Place Sacred to the Appettzing Sardine.
I said 1t was worth while steaming
to Messina for the sake ofthe sardines,
and so it is, declares q writer in the
July Blackwood. 1t is true that sar-
dimes are to be eaten pretty nearly in
perfection all along the Mediterranean
but those of Messina strike one as su-
preme. There is good deal of fash
ion in the conventional reputation OF
fishes; a fresh caught sole OF Boulogne
can hold its own any day with the
best of Torbay; the haddocks of the
Moray Firth match those from the
Bay Of Dublin; nor has Loeb Fyne
any monopoly of delicately favored
herrings among the sea-lochs between
the Clyde and the Pentland.
But it is safe to say that those sar.
dimes Of Messina are not to be sur
passed, though they may possibly be
equalled. Like Greenwich whitehall,
they are rather 8 specialize of the
place. The waiter breaths q shrill
whisper through the speaking tube
which communicates from the ground
floor to the kitchen. A satisfactory
response comes very promptly in the
shape OF a faint sound OF frlzzling. As
the whitehall are merely immersed TOR
some seconds in wirework cage in
boiling oil, SO the sardines are sent up
with startling celebrity, considering the
Italian habit Of representation. The
tiny fish, delicateIy Drowned, reserv~
ed on a soft bed of frizzled parsley.
BY way OF condiment, there are simp-
" g. couple of sliced lemons; and tie
result is so tempting, so fragrantly ap-
petizing, that you scarcely take time
to disengage the fish from the
bones. Should you have followed
up the sardines by the veal cut
let the waiter will surely have recon-
mended, Or by what he is pleased to
call a filet, you will have cause to re-
pent it; though the man is not to be
blamed for suggesting them, as both
dishes are popular with ordinary pa
irons. Ii you are wise, you will have
ordered green peas Or asparagus, which
seem to flourish in the Sicilian gardens
all the year round. After these,
you can hardly do better than call for
macaronia la creme or with tomato
sauce, having taken the precaution
of warning the cook to boil the mac
aroni sufficiently. Should the qualls
chance to be in they are sure to be
plump and delicate; the chickens,
which may be fried in sweet oil, are
generally good and fat, though scarce.
~ equal to the capons OF Bresse; and
tor dessert, or indeed with the bour-
geois soups, the grated Parmesan
cheese is always delicious; while you
may crown your repast in the early
spring with a profusion of magnificent
mountain Strawberries.

a Story FOR Young Mon who Long
ri for Journalism.
For reasons not necessary to state,
The subject Of this story lives four miles
from his place Of business. During the
recent labor troubles his duties were
not more onerous than usual. He was
told to come to his Office one day at
ooon. Then he was ordered to 60 to
The scene of the strike, and there, in
the dust and facing almost every con-
ceivable object, he stood, climbed, ran
and walked over railroad ties, over
ears. across lots, up stairways and into
places where men were consulting on
private business. When he told his
mission he was abused or given to nn-
aerstand that it was none of his bus
mess. He persisted, and by putting his
ear over a keyhole and pulling at every
man, woman and child he succeeded
in gathering some threads of informa-
ton.
It was night when he turned his foot
steps toward his office. He was
hungry and dusty and dry. But he
was expected to come to his post. He
sat down at desk and wrote until
midnight-putting the threads together
which he had picked UP during the
day. There was little woman in a
homo four miles away who sat down to
table alone and partook of the dainty
meal she had prepared for him with
her own hands. When it was cold she
knew he would not come. She had
placed the little one in the crib, and
had eaten her dinner with no compan-
ion about her save. the measured
strokes of a penduluua-and they grew
louder and louder at each stroke. A
little later she prepared lunch and
left it on the table and went to her bed.
When he had finished his work on the
the duty of the day his superior said he
would have to ask him TO- 60 over on
the north side to the city limits and
look up case which had been re-
ported.
1t was nearly 2 o'clock when he came
back and it was o'clock when he
finished this assignment. He. had to
wait for car twenty minutes When
he arrived at home it was 4:30. He sat
down to the table where tender. hands
had prepared the luncheon. Daylight
and the thunder of the city had met for
another contest when he went to his
rest Before doing this he pinned a
note on the baby's' crib, addressed to
his wife, asking her to call him at 10
A. Me-, as he had an assignment at II.
The little one opened its eyes and held
up it's hands for kiss. The man actu-
ally had no time to- give it,, but he did,
