and that tension which would prevent q
sudden break. Now the fish darts to one
side tearing the water into foam, leaving
sheet of silver bubbles, and swinging the
boat around as on a pivot. Now it is at
the surface-a feeting vision followed by
rush that carries the very gunwale under
water. This, followed by sudden slack
ing of the..line, sends despair to the heart;
he Is gone, the line floats. No, whizz! and
away again, down. All the tricks of the
sturdy black bass this giant of the tribe in
dulges in, except the mid-air leaps which
gladden. the heart of the angler. Quick
turns, downward rushes, powerful blows,
mighty runs this gamy creature makes,
fighting inch by inch, leaving an impress
sion upon the mind of the fisherman that
is not soon forgotten.
With a large rope and by taking turns,
the fish could have been mastered, but
such methods were not considered sports
manlike here. 1t must be taken free
handed, fight at arm 's-length, and being
such, the moments fly by; it is half an
hour, and we have not yet seen the out
line of our game. Gradually the rushes
grow less, the blows are lighter, and what
is taken is all gain.-Juiy Scribner.

London Ballet Girls.

Ballet girls are sometimes married Wo-
men with families of their own, though
more often they are girls living at home
and supporting their parents, or else lodg-
ing by themselves or with some of their
companions. They are frequently children
of poor parents, and the rooms even of the
well paid. from the few specimens | have
seen, says London writer, strike one as
being by no means above the average work
ing class home in point Of neatness or COM
fort.
Perhaps their constant presence at per-
formances CT rehersals leaves them little
time or inclination to attend to household
duties. Those who are skillful enough and
fortunate enough to get into the corps de
ballet of a house such as the ALEXANDRIA
have pretty regular employment all the
year round, but a great number can only
obtain temporary engagements in the pam
tomime or other busy seasons.
At other times they 60 On tour in the
country, live with their parents or turn
dressmakers and needlewomen, and some
times, probably, have recourse to less reput-
able modes of obtaining livelihood It
is only fair to add, however, that the ap-
pearance of the ballet girls as they leave
the theater very much resembles that of
any ether body of young women leaving
respectable place Of business.
The corps of one large house has organ
lied benefit club for the help of its sick
members. The subscription is six cents or
twelve cts per week according to earnings.
Full sick pay is 1915 week, and lasts ten
weeks, followed by half pay. Any balance
in hand at the end of the year is shared
out among the members. This fund has
been i'll existence for many years.

''Oh, nothingw returns he, with some
confusion. "Only some silly thought Of my
own private brain,-not the part was do
voting to your argument. Forgive me. You
were saying-?'
THAT there is tremendous amount OF
feebleness in most natures. The real clever
thing is to be able to see when an oppor-
tunity for good arises, and then % grasp it.
Most people can't see it, you know"
'Others can" says Mr.. Ronayne, As he
speaks he passes his arm round her pretty
waist and smiles Saucily into her eyes.
''Whatr' eXclaimS she, smiling in turn,
sam 1 an opportunity, then?"
THE sweetest one know, and so seize
it," says the audaciouS youth; while Mr..
Kelly, behind, feels as if he is going to sink
into the ground.
You don't understand what the word
means you silly boy" says the widow,
laughing gayly.
Don't I! only wish l might parse and
spell it with you," says Ronayne, his spirits
rising; at which answer, l regret to say,
pretty Mrs. Bohun laughs again merrily,
and suffers him to lead her away into the
dancing-circle without rebuke, leaving Mr..
Kelly limp with fear of discovery.
But soon all over. The two Misses Blake
go slowly and with caution down the steep
staircase, Monica and Mr.. Ryde (who grows
more devoted every minute) following, Ter
ence and Kit bringing up the rear.
During the drive home the Misses Blake,
who have thoroughly enjoyed themselves,
are both pleasant and talkative. AS the old
horses jog steadily along the twilit road,
they converse in quite lively fashion Of all
they have heard and noticed, and laugh de-
murely over many small joke.
Somehow, conversation dwindles until it
is gone. Terence sulks; Monica moons !;
Kit ponders; the Misses Blake snooze; and
so at last home is reached.
