where shad, rock and herring go to spawn.
Recently gray eagle saw rocktish in the
water there and pouuced upon him, sinking
his talons deep into the sides of the fish.

the load more than he could carry, He could
not release his hold either Finally he was
dragged under the water and drowned. The
current carried the eagle and fish into fish
not, where the bodies were found, with the
hold OF the eagle unrelaSed. The fish weighed
sixteen pounds. and the bird measered six

The Secretary has also decided that the
paragraph in the new tariff bill, placing on
the free list fish, frozen packed in ice
fresh," does not apply to salt water fish,
inasmuch as the latter is specifically placed
in the dutiable schedules at the rate of
one-half Of cent per pound.

CHAPTER IL

When Mrs. Frank Armour arrived at Montreal, she still wore her Indian cos tune of clean well broidered buckskin, moccasins and leggings, all surmounted by a blanket. It was not distinguished costume, but 1t seemed suitable to it's wearer. MT. Armour's agent was ill a quandary. He had had no instructions regarding her dress. He felt, of course, that as Mrs. Frank Armour she should put off these garments and dress as far as possible in accordance with her new position. But when he spoke about it to Mackenzie, the elderly maid and con- panion, he found that MT. Armour had said that his wife was to arrive in Eng land dressed as she was. He saw some thing ulterior in the matter, but it was not his province to interfere. And so Mrs. Frank Armour was passenger by the Aphrodite in her buckskin gar ments.
 What she thought of it all Is not quite easy to say. It is possible that at first she only considered that she was the wife of a white mana thing to be desired-and that the man she loved was hers fOrever-a matter of indefina- ble joy to her. That he was sending her to England did not fret her, because it was his will, and he knew what was best. Busy with her contented and yet somewhat dazed thoughts of him, she was too happy to be very active men, tally, even if it had been the character istic of her race. She was not at first aware of how much notice she excited and how strange figure she was ill this staring city. When it did dawn upon her, she shrank a little, but still was placid, preferring to sit, with her hands folded in her lap, idly watching things. She appeared oblivious that she was the wife of man of family and rank. She was only thinking that the man was hers-all hers.
 He had treated her kindly enough in the days they were together, but she had not been a great deal with him be- cause they travelled fast. and his duties were many, or he made them so, but the latter possibility did not occur to her. When he had hastily bidden her farewell at Port Arthur, he had kissed

 ly Mrs. Townley could find no fault taste, carried her clothes well and was superbly fresh in appearance, though her hair still bore very slight traces of the grease which even the most aristo- cratic Indians use.
 But Lali would not talk. Mrs. Town ley was anxious that the girl should be dressed in European costume and of- fered to lend her and rearrange dresses of her own, but she came in collision with MT. Armour's instructions. So she had to assume merely kind and comforting attitude. The wife had not the slightest idea where she was going, and even when Mackenzie. at Mrs. Townley's oft repeated request, ex- plained very briefly and unpicturesque- ly she only looked incredulous or un- concerned. Yet the ship its curious pas sengers, the dining saloon. the music, the sea and all had given her sugges- tions of what was to come. They had expected that at table she would be awkward and ignorant to degree. But she had at times eaten at the trader s table at Fort Charles and had learned how to use knife and fork. She had also been favorite with the traders wife, who had taught her many civi- hzed things. Her English, though far from abundant, was good. Those, there fore, who were curious and rude enough to stare at her were probably disappoint- ed to find that she ate like ''any Chris tom man"
 "How do you think the Armours will receive herr" said Lambert to Mrs. Townley, of whose judgment on short acquaintance he had come to entertain a high opinion.
 Mrs. Townley had a pretty way of putting her head to one side and speak. ing very. piquantly. She had had it as girl. She had not lost it as woman, any more than she had lost soft little spontaneous laugh which was one of her unusual charms, for few women can laugh audibly with effect She laughed very softly now, and her sense of humor supervening for the moment she said: Really you have asked me @ conun- drum. I fancy see Mrs. Armour's face when she gets the news-at the break fast table. of course-and gives little shriek, and says, General. oh, generall' r But 1t is all very shocking, you know. !" she added in a lower voice. 'Still think they will receive her and do the best they can for her. because. you see, there she Is married hard and fast. She bears the Armour name and is likely to make them, all very unhappy indeed if
