1t Had No ellis, but Had Four Legs

Frank Davey. the photographer, is
the posSesSor of a very strange fish,
which. after having exhibited to a num-
Der of friends while still alive. he put
into alcohol 10 keep. The fish is known
to some people here. but is quite rare.
Its home is in the deep water, and If
the story told by the Chinaman who
procured it, namely, that the catch was
made in comparatively shallow water
just outside Of the harbor, 1t is to be
depended on, the occurrence Is indeed
unusual
1t is about three inches in length. ana

But the peculiar part is that there are
no gills or what are popularity known
as such. Where these should he the
skin is just as il is all over the body.
At distance of about half an inch and
protruding from the belly near the cen
trail part are what might be called arms
or legs. They are iointed and have
some ten very fine claws. These, to-

ven Lenken come, You ask her"
For once Meyer was rushing things
In short Willie he had cleared several
acres of land, and little later began to
build the house. When the house was
completed, he came to Molly in high
spirits.
"LcnIlen is coming next week. he
cried. 'Ach. Gott. | vas 50 glad.
Molly inquired the day, but Meyer
could not tell her. He said he was go
ing 10 watch every incoming train until
she arrived. Molly, too, somehow man
aged to be at the depot at train time,
and watched Meyer.
II am so curious to get first glimpse
at LenkeD." she said TO herself. Il
have wondered so long what she looks
like, and have heard her praised so
much by Meyer that the curiosity is al
most killing me-"
one evening, when the train came in,
she saw Meyer rush forward and knew
that Lenken had come at last. She
peeped around the corner, and saw a
woman looking around bewildered.
That woman had beautiful eyes. Molly
looked straight into them for q moment, |

and everything else in the woman'a
appearance was forgotten.
Come, Lcnken," Meyer whispered,
touching her hand. "Ach, du Lieh-
chen" he murmurcd as their eyes met.
Then both turned. holding each other
by the hand like children. and started
To walk away.
As Molly looked after them there was
soft moisture in her eyes. Then she
reused herself, and. smiling, murmur:
ed: why, she must weigh at the very
least POO pounds
The bell of the locomotive rang ont
warning. There was putting and
wheeling. and the train was in motion.
Then there came piercing scream,
and the train stopped suddenly.
When Molly looked through the
crowd that gathered in moment to
see what bad happened, she saw Mey-
or lying on the ground. and Lcnleu was
bending above him.
Molly pressed up closer Meyer look
ed up and saw her. 1T was for Len

SPAIN SETS DATE AS MAY ONE.
Cuban Revolution to BE Suppressed
by That Time.

London, March l5.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Morning Post says:
u am able to assert on the best author
ity that United States Minister Woodford
originally intimated that the United
States hoped and expected that Spain
would re-establish peace in Cuba before
March of this year. Recently, in re-
Spouse, the Spanish representatives in the
United States extended the time to May
l. Both governments refuse to describe
this intimation as an ultimatum to
Spain"
1t has been given, continues the CORE
spondent, entirely irrespective of the
Maine affair or of any other compiled
tions which may arise in the meantime.
There was no suggestion as to what ac-
ton the United States would take on May
l, should, as is certain to be the case, the
rebellion be still unsurpassed.

was promptly changed by the citizens
to Bin Never.
He came direct from the fatherland
to make Pineville his home. He thought
1t was his duty, too, TO tell everybody he
had left Il sweetheart behind, and that
ii was for her sake that he was work
ing 10 make home. Her name was
Lrnken. She was very beautiful, he
said and 50 good that it seemed almost
miracle she had lived TO the age of 20.
1t was this loyalty to the girl he had
promised to marry. and who was so far
away. that made Meyer favorite with
everybody in l'incVille.
But Never WAS slow, easy going fell
low. and the one thought about Ienken
seemed to occupy every Granny OF ms
thinking apparatus, to the exclusion of
every other thought. He was Il very
small man, and that, and the wooden
leg he wore he said, had saved him
from doing duty as soldier.
Never found employment with Judge
Peterkn. The wages were low, but
it WAS a steady job. and that was what
Meyer most desired.
