''Then it is yours, Mart"

There was anguish in the tone, as
there was heroism in the words; but 1t
was heroism of the weakly sort. he

while he turned his face away.

In the face of this fearful temptation
Robbins felt himself weakening. He
grew less strong of resolution with each
tick of the watch in his pocket, heard so
plainly in the desert stiffness. What a
coward he felt himself; but-how sweet
was life.
Was there not help to be had from
some other source? The drinking of
that liquid was the drinking of Selby's
life, and that life meant so much to him
now. Here was the whole man!

looked for the dust of traveller, but
he saw none. The heat of the day was
growing. He thought he felt the poison

weakness in his tone.
Selby took the bottle from his hand.
As he did so, shade of fear arose to
Robbins face. Selby saw it and smiled.
The swollen face made the smile gro
teque; but none the less, it was the smile
of god. He came forward and knelt
beside the crouching form of Robbins,
who, lying on his face, with his eyes
shut, begged him not to think of him,
but of himself. But the tone was grow
ing weaker.
The other said no word, but, lifting
his friends head, he uncorked the bottle
and held it to his lips. A look of remon-
STRANGE came to Robbins face, and he
raised his hand to push away the bottle.
Just then he glanced upward. A buz-
zard was circling around in the clear,
blue air. He shivered, and, as the neck
of the bottle was forced between his
teeth, and Selby was holding back his
head, how could he help swallowing?
The look of remonstrance faded slowly
away as the liquor gurgled from the bot
tie. Soon it was all drained. The boys
head sank to the ground, and heavy
sleep laid hold upon him.

AN ADIRONDACK FISH STORY.

The scene of the following incident
was about 40 miles from Gloversville, on
a beautiful little lake just across the
table land at Piseco Lake in Hamilton
county. The lake is not large, in no
place being more than a mile wide,
while it measures from two to three
miles long. The day was all that fish
erman could desire, and every condition
was right for good fishing. A party of
three was in the boat, namely, L. E. Ev-
crest; his friend, Prof. Spencer of
Brooklyn, and the writer. They had
driven up from Garoga, and were more
than delighted with their luck. They
had taken nearly 30 pickerel in less than
half day, and the size was good, weigh
ing from q to pounds. The last turn
was being made around the lucky
point before we started for home. Ev-
crest, who was trolling one of the lines,
said:
"I'ye got another: he's a good big one
from the way he pulls"
Everest let him play at one time near
| " 200 feet of line before the fish could
be turned. When he was brought into
sight he was not as large as some others
we had already in the boat, but there
was an usual motion all about him.
Soon the line was drawn so tightly it
was necessary to let play him again.
When brought back it was discovered
that a larger pickerel had attempted to
swallow the one on the hook, which was
now quite exhausted.
The big fellow still followed, shark
| like, for the dead body of his victim,
| ,ol, TlIcnnCnH
to give up. Just as Everest was about
to swing the fish on his hook into the
boat, the professor took up the oar,
hoping to strike and thus capture the
large one. The movement of the oar at
tracted the attention of the fish, and in
twinkle he made a pass at it. The
blade was about seven inches wide, but
his jaws grated across the upper and
lower edge, saving a groove in either
side with his sharp teeth. The profess
sor, by carrying the oar forward with the
movement of the fish, at the same time
raising it from the water, landed the
huge fellow into the boat. He weighed
49, pounds. The fish on the hook only
weighed three pounds, but showed signs
of battle, being bitten IN several places.
Upon opening him we found, as is
often the case, fish of smaller size in
his stomach. This one showed signs of
life and was opened. We then discov-
cred a pretty little gold chatelaine
watch, and was surprised that the time
agreed with our watches and that it was
running.
More than pleased with our fishing ex-
petition, we returned to the Adirondack
hotel, and informed Landlord George A..
Mccoy of our luck, at the same time
showing the watch. In less than two
minutes all the guests about the house
were in the office, and among the num-
Der pretty young lady from Albany,
who said the watch was a token of
friendship which she had priced highly.
When on the lake in the early part of
the day it had fallen into the water, and
she supposed was lost 1t is needless to
say she was overjoyed at its recovery

And all this story is true, excepting the
name by which call my boy.
OF course Jack was "skylarking."
But, unless some care is taken, boy
may "skylark' himself into trouble.
That is what Jack came near doing when
he steered his sled between the fore and
hind legs of a horse.
"But the cop" (by which 1 under

so at their own risk. However, that is
not what this story is about.
They were playing Tag" my Jack

their might and main, 1 suspect. Jacks
sturdy knickerbockers look as if they
could make good time when it comes to
run.
He rushed after the doctors son, and
the Doctors son "went for" him.
Round about and round about
And round about they spun,"
and Jack was "It."
Close to the big front door they sped.
Up the steps and into the vestibule they
tumbled. Jack would have seized the
DOCTORS son had not that youngster burst
open the inner door and whisked into
the hall, slamming the door in his per-
suer's face, and shouting, Tagged you

Jack thrust out an eager arm just as
the portal closed. Bang! through the
long glass panel crushed his hand. Clat-
ter, clatter, clatteT, ratified the broken
glass. Its sharp edges tagged Jacks
wrist numerically.
The blood spurted. You may believe
there was a commotion.
Then Jack was led, keeping tight
hold of his wrist, into the doctors
Office.
Scream? No, he did not scream. CryP
Not he. He stood up as straight as a
ramrod and let the doctor examine the
wound.
"This must be sewed up" remarked
the physician gravely.
Indeed the cut looked serious.

mother to sympathize, to console, and

But Jack bethought himself. The
father is away, cruising in Southern seas
1t has been Jacks business to care for
his mother, not to worry and distress
her.
''She has gone to an afternoon tea. l
won't have her bothered" decided
Jack.
So he held out his wrist, and made no
moan while one, two, three, seven
stitches drew the gaping flesh together.
He went home when the wound was
bound up. 1t was not till the mother
reached her house that she heard of the
accident She flew up stairs, with her
heart in her mouth.
But she found Jack as cheerful and
smiling as June morning.
