warm. Not discouraged, he proceeded
to cool the water. He started an ice
factory. and every morning now dur
ing the summer he deposits ice in the
different pools. says writer in the
Amateur Sportsman. Well. sir, it would
tickle yon to see the fish. When a
wagon draws up to pool the driver

out from under the rocks. They get
up on the ice and carry on in II perfect
futter of glee. Beats anything ever

Does he allow anybody to catch the

He will give you all you can catch

"Why?"
The fish won't bite for anybody
but Hicks"
They won't?'

"What?"
Gratitude. tell you. They know
Hicks. They know how much has
been done for them. Why, sir. he can
pull them out as fast as he can throw
in. You ought to see them look up in
his face and smile. One day l was
with him. Two of the biggest trout !
ever saw began to fight for the hook.
One of them got it, and the other one,
determined not to be ouldone, came
out on the bank and laid down. l
never saw such gratitude.

The Wages Of Sin.

A young lady, a lovely woman and
a devoted wife, was a slave to the
passion of music. She had beautiful
voice, was always singing on available
occasions, and was greatly admired
for her gift The man in this case
was a tenor. | never credited tenors
with heroic place in the tragedies of
life, but in this instance | suppose
many men would liken him to hero.
A hero of their own class! Under the
mystic influence Of passionate duet
from one of the Italian operas one
night the passions of those two people
met. Had it not been for the music
the danger was as far away from the
Young wife as am from her at this
moment. She went home trembling
and shattered with the burden of her
own shame and throwing herself on
her knees before her husband told him
all.
He-rare fellow that he was-for-
gave her.
Hardly had the blessed words of for
giveness passed his lips. he had barely
clasped her in the safety of his arms,
when strange look came into her
eyes. She commenced to murmur the
melody of that fatal duet.
Then came a LOUD, shrill laugh! She
