She had a fancy for taking this long,

for looking at the shut-up, silent, ruinous

fancies that she had hurried through the
chill red sunlight and the crisp, drifted
snow; and, in the pleasure of the gratifica-
ton, she felt neither the cold Of the snow
nor the frosty afternoon air as she stood
looking, with a curious interest in her
eyes, at that silent house and ground-one
unspotted sheet of dazzling snow, save
where the Swallowed marking Of a dou-
bh line of footsteps dotted the winding
avenue.
Everything about the dreary old place
possessed an interest for this foolish, lone
ly little maid, peering wistfully in. 1t
was one of Winnie C%aerlyon's greatest en-
joyments, this silent fitting up Menna-
carthen Lane, and looking in at the Treg-
arthcn gates. The number OF the shut
tered windows lad an interest for her;
the old time-defaCed statues and silent,
weed-grown pond and fountain were pleas

trees were more beautiful than the rest Of
their species; nay, the snow looked whittier
and ~lovelicr, cleaning in the rcd sunlight
across the lawn and avenue, than else
where. She always went home happier
after having had her look at Tregarthen;
it was like hearing Of him whose face was

fond soul whispered to itself-her lips
would not dare to put her thought into

Wars" she was saying, ARE COM
mohly known among third parties by
the names of the two nations involved,
and it is a rather remarkable fact that
the name of the losing nation precedes
that Of the conqueror. For example,
we have the Franco-P russian war, In
which the French people came near
being obliterated as a nation by the
Russians. Then the Ch~inese-Japan-
ese war, in which the Chinese were
utterly overthrown by the japanese.
So also the Graeco-Turkish war, with
the Turks conquerors at every point,
and, lastly, we have the Spanish
American war, in which, though not
at an end, Spain has met overwhelm-
ing defeat everywhere. Under the

night before had made the water roily
and very cold. AT such times the bass,
even the swapping ones, seek deep wa
ter. Diligently the fisherman, under
the direction of Jim" Hall, cast the
shores and covers, but after q hard
days work, with arms and wrists sore
and tired from the exercise, the fish
ermen dropped down along the south
shore toward the Grainwood house,
with only fifteen bass.

far out into the water, they fished dur.
ing the late evening. Mr.. Bleithen was
seated In the stern, and as twilight
settled over the water,he was unable to
gauge one of his casts, which carried
the delicate braided silk, hook, sinker,
frog and all far into the rice beds,
where "froggy" settled on q messy
bog. At this juncture Mr.. Bleithen's
reel caught, tangled up. Allowing his
bait to rest where it was among the
rice, the angler began to clear his reel
of the snarl.
Meanwhile an old mallard duck,
seated upon her nest, beheld the
tempting frog within n neck's reach
of her. Out shot her head, and with
a delighted quack the mallard bolted
frog, hook, sinker and a yard of line.
Now a great tumult arose. Mr.. Blei-
then felt a terrific tug upon his rod.
The tip shot upward instead of down
ward. Truly, n most marvellous fish,
quoth Mr.. Bleithen. 'One of the fy-
ing species, no doubt, from the Medi-
t~erranean,"
The reel was now running Il terrific
pace. The game scared far away in
the blue heavens. The 1.-THE steel bent

Mr.. Bleithen, with remarkable pres

Once the duck was taken, and Mr..
Bleithen was satisfied of the genus Of
his capture through the combined eff

Of training a horse is to make him lie
