Abijah's mind was fun of very serious
thoughts as he backed the pony between
the shafts. He guessed he had better tax
10 Melissa. but he would have to be care
full how he talked. She was dangerous.
On the whole he believed he liked Molly
best. She was more quiet, and then the
pie she had made beat Melissa's all hollow.
Just as he fastened the 'ast buckle he
saw Melissa Bray coming toward him in a
borrowed hat, and he turned to hear what
she had to say.
Il jest wanted to tell you. Bijah," said
She that l wouldn't trouble you to see

Whore you going with?" he asked
'Ben's goln to take me-" she said. "He

"Abijah said nothing, but after she had
gone and climbed in beside Ben he thought
some more. and shook his head over his
thoughts. Melissa had done just what
she said she wouldn't do, and he would
have Molly to sit with him in the buggy.
If she wasn't a butternut, why then -"
I'll do it," he muttered as she came out
and got in with him
She gave him just the sweetest sort of a
smile, and never mentioned that affair
until he spoke first. But they had gone
some way before he spoke at ali, and Il
was not until they had passed the first
tollgate that he found his voice.

thought of the scene, land I'll tell her

'"I hain't never goin TO speak to her
again." said Molly, determinedly.
You won't even say you are sorry?"
mo, / won't But I'll tell you, 'Bl-

Abijah didn't know what to say. so he
kept quiet until they We're almost within

asked.

FISHING ON HORSEBACK.
A California Boy Made Quite Pot of
Money Catching Squids,

out of breath who had run UP from the
beach where the big rollers were pilng
in with mighty roar.
What is it?" replied a stableman.
"Squids, millions of EN-; they're Jest

gasped the boy.
Us that so?" said the man. why"
looking around, there's a couple of ponies
waiting; jump on and I'll go with you"
and forthwith the two sprang into the
saddles and dashed down to the beach.
you can hook 'em right ashore" said
the boy and leaping off the pony, he pick
ed up from the beach, where he had pre-
viously laid it, a bamboo rod about nine
feet long that had a large hook at the end
Thus equipped he moved down to the
waters edge.
II had been blowing a heavy southeaster
and great waves were coming in, piling
up long black masses of kelp that wound
away like serpents over the sand. Here
and there just on the borders of the waves,
were strange uncanny looking crea lures,
six or seven feet In length, with long fin
ger-like tenlacles and black staring eyes
Some We're high, dry and helpless others
were half in the water, waving their
sucker-like tentaces as though implor-
ing aid, while out in the waves others
could be seen, either driven in by some
large fish or beaten In by the sea.
What good are they?" asked the sta
bieman, who had never seen the animals
"Good?" repeated the boy. why, IT'S
fun catehin' 'em, and can sell the eyes
and pen for so cents. Jest look at EN-,
Will your and digging his foot into the
reluctant broucho, he urged him into the
surf, where, reaching down, he hooked
on to something. A big wave splashed
over his back, drenchng him from head
to foot but he held on to the squid and
the broncho, though yisiby alarmed at
the hideous looking creature, dragged 1t
out high and dry on the beach. where
it lay pumping ink and water its long
arms coilng about like snakes.
After various excursions into the surf
the boy, having, with the aid of the sta
bleman, hauled the animals above high
water mark, began 10 secure his treas
ures. Each squid had pen--a long opal
tinted translucent object, the model OF a
huge pen and holder, eighteen or twenty
inches In length. This was found ex-
tending from the tip of the tail to the neck
of the animal, and served as a support,
something like backbone. But the squid
is a squld, not a backboned animal. Next
the huge eyes were taken out and the
eyeball secured, which, after drying, re-
sembled a pearl almost as large as mar
BILE. Then the young fisherman produced
a bag of ink from the body of the ami
may which, he said, was India ink. This
was true, and at one this sepia was the
only India ink known. The pen of some
species of the animal is the cuttle6sh bone
of commerce. given to canary birds.
These treasures the young fisherman said
TO be canary birds. These treasureres
the young fisherman later sold 10 tourists
and curiosity dealers.

William Romano Patterson. He Is a
scotchman, born at Glasgow, and is now
q years of age. He had an honorable,
and even distinguished, career at Glasgow
University. Since his graduation he has
lived much abroad, He has a special in

OSTRICH PLUMES.

About the most elegant hat at the
present date is the small Rembrandt,
almost entirely concealed beneath a
wealth of ostrich pIumes. These
which are chosen of different lengths,
from the tip to the amazon, as occa-
sion serves-are so arranged as to
cover the crown and the brim, and to
leave hardly any Of the foundation
visible. Palest sky and turquoise
blue and clematis mauve feathers are
most in vogue, either mounted on
straw shapes to match or on white. I
have also seen some equally elegant
toques decorated with two amazons
fastened at the back so as to pass
round each side, the curly tips meet
ing in front in a light pouf A toque
so trimmed with two pale-blue feathers
is made Of hafr-cloth woven of white
and blue. 1t is turned I'D on the left
side, where it rests on half coronet
of yellow roses. The same arrange
ment in mauve, with a coronet of for
get-me-nots is equally admirable.
Black-plumed hats are also beginning
to put in an appearance, and bid fair
to be very fashionable this autumn.
Their elegance and novelty chiefly de-
pend on the way in which the feathers
are set on.-The Millinery Trade Re-

ing wounded. 1t is fair case for
heavy costs and damages, but the Beers
made a mistake in fixing their claim at
6 100000. A third of that sum would
be fairer assessment. Cur high COM
missioner, Sir Alfred Miner, has, how
ever, offered to submit the claim to
arbitra ton, and this is the best way
out Of the difficulty. But it is evident
from the report of the high commits
sioner, published this week, that he
does not desire a settlement with the
Boer republic. He appears to have
been captured by the Rhodes gang.
The published reply of the colonial
ecretary-slightly tapered down in
the house of commons this week
also conveys the notion that he too
had strong Rhodesian intentions to
force a fight. He has been kept in Or
der by the saner and fairer- minded
members of the cabinet. 1t would be
monstrous crime for England to
stamp out the Boer republic on such
fiimsy pretenses as those set forth in
the alleged grievances Of outlanders.

FLOWER ARRANGEMENT.

In Japan the art of flower arrange
ment is as highly regarded as music,
poetry, or painting; and in order that
one may become expert therein, it is
deemed necessary to devote quite as
much attention, time, and study to this
as to any other form of art. We look
upon flower arrangement in general as
merely the result of individual taste,
but Japanese regards it from a very
different point OF view. He is governed,
IN this accomplishment, by numerous
and Well-de1ined rules which can only
be acquired by long and patient study
1t would be impossible, without this
knowledge, to compose an arrangement
Of flowers which would meet with the
approval Of competent critics. 1t
would, in fact, be quite as hopeless as
for musician to compose great mas
terpieces Of music without previous
training and careful study. The art of
flower arrangement is not only prac-
ticed by women and girls, but by men
as well, for it is an accomplishment
indispensable for all who would make
any pretense to learning and culture.
