A Strangely Caught Fish.

Not long ago a hawk caught fish
in Long Island sound, but, while flying
with its captive to the woods to devour
it at leisure, the fish floundered from
the hawks hold and dropped into a
farmers yard, where big mastiff was
sitting. The dog caught the fish as
it came down, and the hawk swooped
after it, but the dog turned and rushed
into the house, placing his trophy, yet
alive, at the feet of its mistress. 1t
proved to be large bluefish, and it
was served up at night to an apprecia-
tive family. The dog ever since has
been seen to sit in the same place at
the same time, evidently impressed
with the belief that his good fortune
may be repeated.-Golden Days.

But Matilda Powers was naturally a

she "hoped she was Christian"
This day, however-it was just a
week before Thanksgiving-whi she
stitched away SO industriously on Mrs.
Denton's black silk dress, her mind
as busy as her slender fingers, she fell
to wondering whether she was a very
good Christian after all.

self one of the Lords children, and

Strengthening from which it seemed
her eyes had hitherto been holden.
The day before Thanksgiving arrived
and the prospect for feast in the little
dressmaker's home looked very slim.
Miss Matilda was hard at work finish
ing Della Cranes dress, for Della want
ed to wear it the next day. Mrs. Crane
usually paid quite promptly, too, and
Miss Matilda hoped she would send the
money for the dress that evening; then
there should be little something extra
for dinner the next day, anyway.
Just as the finishing touches had been
given the neatly made gown, Bonnie
Crane came after it. ma didn't have

Mrs. Joseph Denton's second best black
silk dress, which she was again making
over in conformity to tickle Dame
Fashions latest decree.
Miss Matilda felt, indeed, as if she
were veritably stitching for dear life,
for, though she sewed industriously all
day, save during such time as her house
hold duties absolutely demanded, and
every day, save Sunday, she still found
1t difficult oftimeS to meet the neces-
sary expenses in their little household
of two.
For Miss Matilda was extremely
neat and painstaking in her work, while
her charges were 80 very reasonable"
as Mrs. Denton, who was one of the
most well-to-do of her patrons, declared
with great satisfaction. In other words,
they were very low, indeed, and her
earnings barely sufficed to pay rent
and furnish meager supply of the
physical necessities of life for her moth
er and herself; to do even this she rose
early in the morning, and worked late
at night.
1t may never have occurred to Mrs.
Denton that the question of reasonable
pay might be two-sided one. In fact.
when this same second best black silk
dress had been brought for remodel
ing on the last occasion before this one,
and the Woodworking little dressmaker
ventured to hint that she thought the
work would be worth a certain sum,
the same being about a dollar more
than her usual charges, Mrs. Denton
was quite indignant, and intimated
that if Miss Matilda was going to ask
such prices she should thereafter take
her work to Mrs. Gable, who. having
husband willing and competent to
provide the comforts of life, took in
dressmaking at low rates to obtain the
wherewithal for superfluities.
But Mrs. Cables work was not nearly
so well done as Miss Matilda's. as Mrs.
Denton knew by report and personal
experience. 1t is not probable, there
fore, that she would have transferred
her patronage, even if Miss Matilda
had not. with an inaudible sigh as she
thought of the coal bin, thrown off the
extra dollar.
Then Mrs. Denton went down town.

but it was $50 sweet, and only dol

rich just then.
Miss Matilda sat up until IL O'Clock
that night. and rose before daylight
the next morning. for, beside the low
state OF the coal bin, there was an al

softly: "Bless the Lord, O my soul
and all that is within me, bless His
holy name," and she went to bed think
ing: 'Well, I've had one whole week
of Thanksgiving already"
The next day dawned bright and cold.
Miss Matilda allowed herself the lux
ury of a later nap than usual, and rose
feeling light hearted as child.
81 shan't take stitch to-day, not
one," she declared, firmly, at the simple
breakfast, land 1 amt going to ready
up any more than I'm obliged to, either.
I wish you could go to church, mother,
but I'll go if you don't mind staying
alone. I haven't been now for two
Thanksgivings."
She had just washed the dishes and
was doing what !"redding up seemed
Indispensable, when a rap sounded on
the door and there entered a merry,
| rosy-cheeked young girl, who apollo
gized for her early call and exclaimed
in ELUSIVE schoolgirl fashion: "What
do you think, Miss Matilda! We've
been expecting Uncle Dawes folks for
Thanksgiving, and made preparations
for them, and last night we heard that
they couldn't possibly be here. So
there we are, you see, with stuff enough
provided for all that lot of people and
only our family to eat it, and I'm rush
ing around this morning trying to find
some nice and conveniently disengaged
folks to come and help US, and l do so
hope you and your mother are among
them. Now don't tell me you are en-
gagged; are you?"
Mrs. Powers looked up delightedly;
Miss Matilda smiled and shook her
head.
you're not! Well, then, will you be
good enough to save your own Thanks
giving dinner till tomorrow, and help
us with ours? ThereIl be some good
company. I've captured the new
school-teacher, Miss Gibson, and anoth-
er nice girl already. Of course we will
send the horse for your mother"
THANK you, Lottie," said Miss Ma
tilda, in voice that quavered Just
trifle. eve shall be very happy to
come; won't we, mother?"
eyes, indeed, we WILL" replied the
old lady, very emphatically, and. with
expressions of deep gratitude, Lottie
hurried away.
After helping her mother dress for
dinner, Miss Matilda went to church,
and at the close of the service, which
perhaps no one in the church entered
into with more thankfulness than she
did, she went home with Deacon
Trips family. Miss Gibson also &C
companied them, and the "other nice
girl" stenographer who was almost
stranger in town, and whose heart had
been made warm by the unexpected at
tention, the invitation being the more
welcome from the fact that she board
ed herself.
There were few other guests and the
company was congenial one, all APP
pearing to enjoy to the full both visit
and dinner. The feast, however, was
not extravagant. Deacon Trip was
possessed of only moderate means, and
he did not consider it justifable to go

The traveller nervously clutched the
guides arm as tremendous roar arose
in the distance and swirled past them
at frightful gait.
''Wha-what wa'was that?" he STAN
mered, and he shook like an aspen leaf.
But the guide only laughed and said:
"Only the break of dawn" and re-
sumed the march to an upper altitude

and go to trusting. Yes, I am, from
this very minute.
"And there's another thing about it.
In the new version it says: Believe
that We have received so why shouldn't
I begin to thank the Lord that have
the things I need, if they're not right
before my eyes. I really believe that
is the right way to do. L never saw it
in that light before. I've tried very
hard to believe was going to be able
to get what I needed, then waited till
it came befo- I gave thanks for it.
Now, I'm going to begin praising the
Lord that we have received necessary
things, or the money to get them"
All the rest of that day Miss Matilda
held praise thoughts in her mind. 1t
was very trying day, too. Miss Bunce
called and said she had decided to let
her dress wait till after the holidays
and Miss Bunce always paid so prompt
ly, and sometimes even more than the
reasonable price" asked. Then Mrs.
Matthew Slawson came for her jacket,
and declared it would be simply impos-
sible to pay for the making inside of
month. Miss Selma Pringle next came
with material for a dress, but she want
ed it made in a way that would take
great deal more time than she would
be willing to pay for, as Miss Matilda.
knew very well, and Mrs. Crane brought
a dress of her own to be made into one
for Della with the intimation that she
should not want to pay much because
it was 'only to be made over, you
know"
But through it all the little seam
stress praised the Lord that her mother
and herself had sufficient for their
needs, saying over and over passages
of trust, clinging to them lovingly and
tenaciously; and her faith grew in the
midst of its trials.
When evening came she resolutely
laid aside her work at an early hour.
ut is not necessary for me to sew night
as we'll as day." she declared. 1.-The
Lord is able to take care of us without
my doing that"
. In spite of the discouraging expe-
riences of the day, Miss Matilda lay
down to rest that night feeling happier
than she had in long time, and her
last waking thoughts were of trust and
praise.
'I'm right glad to see you so bright,

I ought not to have been anxious my

will provide if we trust Him truly, and
that is what I've made up my mind to
do-no halfway work about it, any
more than I would put that sort of
work into a dress"
Several days passed bringing nothing

but Miss Matilda held on. She still
praised and her faith did not fail. She
resolutely refrained from sewing late,
and spent part of each evening reading,
