which the Senator visits. One day he was
being rowed up the river and had tried
all the fishing holes with Indifferent suc-
cess. He directed the guide TO row him
to a certain place which he spied, and,
after sounding the water, observing the
lay of the land the character of the bot
tom and the drift of the current said there
was good fishing there. The old guide
poo-hooed the idea; no one had ever
thought of fishing there But the Senator
insisted on trying, and within an hour or
two had caught thirty magnificent bass.
So they called ii Gears Hole, and it is
fished every day in the season when their

as follows:

to attack. Moving around the rear of

Adinoram Penwhissel lived in East Big
town. a village somewhere between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts in the United
States, and he was very fond of going to
the circus That is, if a person can be
fond of doing a thing that he has done
but once in his life. For until he was r.
his circus going had been limited to one
small circus, and as a tornado had whip
ped the tent out of sight before the show
began he really did not see much of that
one.
But soon after he was u, real "Aggre-
gated Amalgamation," as it was called on
the posters, came to Bigtown Center and
Adinoram, after he had feasted his eyes
on a picture of a green and pink snake
swallowing himself in den of lions, hur-
ried home, and taking out his little tin
bank drew therefrom % cents, with the
aid of his "toadsticker.'
Twenty-three cents, and the admission
for boys was a quarter of dollar! Ad-
moran was on the point of tears, for he
knew that his father did not believe in
circuses, having entirely forgotten his own
youth. No. that is not the way 90 put it
Abraham Penwhissel had not forgotten his
youth; he had never had any. He had

anything about the circus he told Adino-
ram he could go and get it, and even said
that he needn't hurry, as the horse was
little lame. This was sufficient excuse
for Adinoram, and he determined to
squeeze the circus in somewhere. Bur
on the way into town he forgot that the
morse was lame, and really made a record
that Betsy had not equalled since her
younger days, some twenty years previ-
Gus.
He got the meal and put Betsy under
the Baptist Church sheds, and then his

felt SO big hearted just then that If he had

had anything but a sacred temper and an
animal that Adnoram took TO be a zebra,
whose neck had been acclden ally
stretched until he heard a small boy call
ii ''gyrafe." and then ne knew the ami
NAL and the pronunciation too, for Adino-
ram had picked up good deal of informa-
ton of various kinds.
But of all the animals the tigers in
terested him the most. and when he came
opposite their cage the tigress stopped
in her restless walk and looked him right
in tie eye And Adinoram, being an
honest youth, returned her gaze with in
tenslty Now, you know that no wild
beast wild or tame, can stand the steady
gaze of the human eye, and yet this III
gress looked at Adinoram just as steadily
as bad boys look at girls at school when
they are trying to stare them out of
countenance and the teacher is looking
the other way.
Adinoram had logical mind. He said
to himself; Il know that wild beasts can
not stand the human stare. This tisress
can stand 1t, therefore she is not a real
tigress. And if she isn't real tigress,
what is it likely that she is?"
He thought a moment, still keeping up
the stare, and then 1t came to him in a
fash. She was a beautiful princess, who
had been condemned to take the form of
a tigress 10 please the within of some
wicked magician.
This much Adinoram was sure of, but
he did not know what steps to take in
order to dissolve the enchantment.
You may wonder how a boy like Adj
noram, half orphan, with a severe and
busy father, could have known about
such things, but the year before an aunt
who lived in the East had sent him a
copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales" and after
that Adinoram lived in new world He
worked just as hard, but he had an added
horizon, if you know what / mean. He
could see much further and he was hap
pier.
He was now divided in his sense of
duty. He supposed that the ticket seller
was the proprietor of the show. Simple
hearted little Adinoram. AS a matter of
fact, the ticket seller was sick of his
situation and wished that he could be-
come clerk in a dry goods store, where
he would not have to think so fast and
would not run the risk of losing large
sums of money. Fancy having a chance
to go around with a circus, and wishing
you We're in a dry goods storei But Adj
noram did not know this, and as the
ticket seller had passed him in for %
cents, he thought it would be a very
mean thing for him to turn the tigress
into a princess and so make the circus
short one valuable animal.
While he stood there, swaying between
two impulses, the tigress stepped toward
him and gave a low moan. That settled
It. Ticket seller or not, he hadn't the
heart to let a poor princess suffer like
that, and he said in a low voice:
Il will rescue you, my DEAR
1 will help you. never fear"

state abounds with legends of his skill.
He is not especially approachable in his
official capacity, but he is another being
in camp, and the old boatmen address
him with impunity as "Cush." A man is
a fool who wears robe of dignity when
he goes fishing. He will trip up in 1t,
sure.
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania is ad-
dicted to deep sea fishing. The habit or
angling, contracted in the trout streams
of Pennsylvania, has grown upon him to
such an extent that ordinary sport does
not satisfy his craving any longer. He
needs must travel all the way TO Florida
and spend days seeking the fierce tar
pom. He has a charming little hunting
lodge on the Florida coast and whenever
he finds the cares of craftsmanship or
politics expressing him, he takes train
and is away fer a week or two of sport.
1t is a fearful and wonderful sight to see
the doughty Senator from the keystone
State standing braced in a boat, battling
with an immense tarpon, and when he has
landed his victim he wears the look of a
conqueror at the close of battle When
times are too busy to go to Florida he
does not disdain to take whri with the
bass of the country and is ready any time
for an outing.
