AN ENTIRELY INVOLUNTARY FLIGHT

gentleman muttered something in
their native Mexican that was clearly
Ineligible to his companion, for Don
Carlos eyes said plainly that he found
! life very satisfactory thing. With un-
looked for docility Marguerite turned
to ascend the ladder leading to the

Brought back to everyday life by his
movement, judge, jury and audience
| followed suit in a silence too blissful
for breaking.
The prisoner, impassive as ever, re-
sumed his careless survey of the room,
letting his gaze rest longest on the
benches occupied by the jury.
The judge took his seat, scrutinized
the faces of the crowd, and, apparently
satisfied by what he read there, cleared
his throat and began.

seen circumstances a short time ago |

at speech on the part of the sheriff and
turned to Marguerite.
"Prisner," he said, you heerd the
remarks Of them gentlemen opposite,
so you may take it that the proceedin's

TROUT AND SALMON.
Popularity of Growth in These Noble
Fishes.

In rapid mountain torrents or in up
land pools, where food is scanty, com
mon English river trout will weigh
when adult, only six or seven ounces,
while fish which turns the scale at
half pound may be regarded fn the
chaste language of angling) as "a
whopper." But in a large lake or a
placid river. where insects abound and
living is easy, individuals of the very
same species will grow to weight OF
fourteen or fifteen pounds, without
making allowance for the Imagination
OF the fisherman. 1t is almost as
though adult men varied from five feet
high on the Welsh hills to twenty feet
and fifty stone on the plains of England,
The reason is, that fish have really
no fixed limit of growth. A pike con.
tinues to grow as long as he lives, pro,
ufyided only he can find more food tc
oaAs a ,>i A-lla-i4,- e~on-eeid- to in
Aease Wy fits and starts whenever the
A circumstances enable him to dine for
Tome weeks together rather better than
usual. This is pretty much the same
as if one could make London crossing
sweeper shoot up incontinently to be
eight feet high by inviting him for a
month to a course of lord mayorally
banouets at the Mansion house.
Now. in salmon and trout this pecu-
liarity OF growth is much more marked
than in most other fishes. For the
bones of the skeleton are loose and
tibrous: there is much more cartilage
and much less lime than in the major-
itv of their relations. A skeleton of
this sort will obviously allow of ready
modification. and is most convenient
for its possessor if at any moment he
desires to enlarge hi2self symmetri-
callv Such fish as thaG nay always be
trusted to rise to the situation. As a
natural result, where trout find little
20 eat they become adult at a length
of very few inches, but where they
find food in great abundance they rap
idlv grow to quite astonishing dimen-
sions. They are the owners of a patent
axpansible skeleton. Maga-

KINGS AND HAWKS,
Monarchs of Old Who Hunted With the
Birds.

Richard l., when in the Holy Land,
amused himself with hawking on the
Plain of Sharon, and is said to have
presented some of these birds to the
sultan. Later on, while passing
through Dalmatia, he carried off a
falcon which he saw in one of the vii
lagos, and refused to give it up. He
was attacked so furiously by the Justly
incensed villagers that it was with the
utmost difficulty that he managed to
make his escape.
King John used to send both to Ire
land and to Norway for his hawks. We
are told by Froissart that when Ed
ward III. invaded France he had thirty
falcons, and every day either hunted
or went to the river for the purpose of
hawking. Henry VII. imported gos-
hawks from France, giving four pounds
for single bird-a much greater sum
in those days than at present. Henry
VIII. whilst hawking at Hitchin was
leaping dyke, when the pole broke,
and the king was immersed head first
into the mud, and would have perishcd,
in all probability, had not his falconer
dragged him out.
Elizabeth and James |. were much in
terested in the sport; the latter soy,
ereign, indeed, expended considc-!x5Il (.
sums on it's maintenance. Aubrey, ia
his Miscellanies, says: when | was
freshman at Oxford, | was wont to 90
to Christ church to see Charles /. at
supper, where l once heard him say
that as he was hawking in Scotland he
rode into the quarry, and there found
the covey of partridges falling upon
the hawk, and | remember his expires.

and himself, without either man being
in the least aware of the identity Of the
person by whom he was jostled. Nor
| would it have made any difference if
he had known, because not even for
free pardon would the accused have
consented to forego the enthralling
sight on which he was feasting his
eyes.
Affairs were just at their most eX-
citing stage. The bull mastitf, it APP
pcared, had drawn quite close to Don
Carlos before perceiving his presence.
He had, then. instead of apolOgizing
for the intrusion, critically examined
Don Carlos tail. afterward giving vent
to an insulting bark. This brought
matters to a climax, and in less time
than it takes to tell the two dogs were
| so ineXtricably mixed up that but for
the appcndage in question waving over
the scene like flag of battle, it would
have been impossible to distinguish one
combatant from the other.
There was no necessity for the haste
displayed by the spectators in reaching
the seat of war, for the fray promised
to be as long as il was sanguinary. No
quarter was asked or desired. The
stranger possessed vast amount of
staying power, inasmuch as when he
once took hold little short of extract
ing his teeth made him let 90 again.
But the military tactics of his opponent
were new to him, and prevented his
getting an opportunity to show what
he really could do.
Don Carlos dashed underneath him
and sent him sprawling in the mud; he
! jumped over his back and gave him
perfunctory bite in passing. and he
harricd his front and rear guards both
at the same time, until the bull mastiff
felt that, for all the good he was able
to effect, he might as we'll be a toy ter
rier. The ironical cheers of the crowd
melted him to fresh endeavor, and he
spent himself in frantic efforts to gain
the mastery.
At length, however, he saw a chance.
Making a sudden dash while Don
Carlos was in the act of executing one
of his wonderful leaps, the bulldog
met him in midair, aud at last obtained
a grip on the cnemy's throat. Both
| dogs fell to the ground, the stranger
savagely worrying his apparently van
quished antagonist.
The crowd showed signs of a desire
to interfere, but Marguerite waved
them back. Let 'em alone" he said,
placidly, and bet your boots upon old
! Carlos
The intelligent animal, as he lay be-
meath his conquer0r, appeared to un
derstand and to be encouraged by the
faith reposed in him by his master He
gathered his long legs together, plant
ing them firmly against the enemy's
body, and the next development of the
case was that the bpll mastitf was seen
to be taking an entirely involuntary
flight through space.
Don Carlos, meanwhile, slowly arose,
shook out his tail, and-yawned.
The discounted interloper after a
short period of meditation in a dust
heap, picked himself out of the dirt.
He looked back at the field of battle,
glanced at the open gate which he had
entered, and then in a depressed -man=-
ner he evidently made up his mind
that it was time to leave. He accord
