THE COLONEL'S LOGIC.
He Thought That Where the Cham.
payne Flowed the Fish Would
BE Plenty.

"I only wish had thought of it befo'"
exclaimed Col. Stillwell, as he seized his hat.
"Where are you going"
"To the sto' to buy some tishin' tackle.
I've missed lot Of good spot this summah,
and I've got to hurry and make up fob lost
time. When | think of what little care
lessness has cost me l am positively
ashamed"
why, you can fish at any time"
"No, can't. / can fish at any time in
| the future. But can't call back the COLDER
hours when | might have been tishn' at
| Newpo't News. I'm willin to put up with
| the inconvenience of night trip in order
to get there, sub, and not waste any mo
time. I'm tishuhman by nature, sub, and
have hitherto imagined that | have done
some very fancy angling. But when / think
of the harvest | ought to have been taking

I'm goin' to have a go at them even if | have
TO chop hole in the ice and sit ovuh it in a
furtrimmed ovuhcoat like an Eskimo"
But why Newport News? There's fish
ing elsewhere"
so | used to think. Ah my boy, it's
painful to think of what we miss in this life
because we don't figure things out properly.
Where have most of the ships been launched
lately"
why, at Newport News, believe"
Exactly so. And when they laun, h the
ship what do they do:'
why, they break bottle of champagne
over her bows, for one thing"
Precisely. And if | am not mistaken
most of the fish in the Atlantic ocean and
its tributaries have gotten a hint of that
fact by this time They'll be there as thick
as stars in the milky way, and all I'll have
to do is to drop line over and pull 'em out."

But what was this? Bernard, lean and
tired looking, came slowly down the
wood path, and ON his back, bound fast
with ropes, was tiny flaxen haired
girl. The frightened child was weeping
bitterly and struggled to free herself.
Mrs. Nucomb cut the cords that bound
her and washed and fed her. She was

THE NEW MASTER.
The Precious Gift BERNARD brought To
Leroy Nucomb.

Leroy
Leroy Nucomb sat reading on the sha-
dy porch of his coy little home built
half way up the sides of the noble Sier-
ras. Like an eagles eyrie, it command
ed fine view of the Sacramento valley,
with its green orchards and we'll kept
farms. Away in the distance could be
seen the bay, dotted with ships. But on
this particular day all this grand seen
cry lay unnoticed before Leroy's eyes.
He was deep in those dear old tales of
the Arabian Nights" when Bernard,
his only playmate and companion, came
barking playfully up to him.
"Well, old chap, said the boy, lay
ing aside his book for moment to ca
ress his pet, "where have you been for
the past three days? / am afraid you
have found new master somewhere,
one you like better than me. Haven't
your" he asked playfully, patting the
shaggy head.
For the past five years Bernard had
been the faithful guardian of the Ae-
rial Farm, as it was called. Never for
one moment had he been known to
wander away. But for the past month
he had weekly made excursions to the
woods, sometimes being gone three days
at time.
Leroy now romped with him, and
then, tired out, returned to his book. He
wished 10 play at hide and seek and
tried by licking his masters face TO
make his wishes known. But Leroy,
like so many tired boys, let his temper
get the best Of him, and giving the dog
sound cuff said, "Clear out and go to
your other master"
The dog stood for a moment with
dropping head, then trotted quickly
away.
Leroy read ON till the pine trees
shade made it too dark to see and then
throwing his book upon the porch he
ran off to seek Bernard, expecting tC
find him at the barn. His search was in
vain. The next day passed and the next,
and still no sign of Bernard. Every
night saw the repentant little master
sob himself to sleep.
The sixth day passed as slowly as al
| days had passed since Bernard S disap
pearance, and Leroy again sat upon the
little porch, this time studying the
beautiful panorama below him.
What was that he heard? Was it ;
child's cry? Again that pitiful cry, thi
time followed by joyful bark. HI
knew the bark. The cry did not troubl,
him now. He bounded over the low
