clouds which had lowered over that
 section, the temperature had been far vorable to the growth and develop
 ment of the fish. and there was, for some reason, sudden precipitation which covered the land area near my place with fish. That was the whole explanation of the thing.
 ''But there had been another littla incident in my career which gave op- eration to the same principle, and again established the accuracy of the theory which science has promulgated. It happened in the same section of the country, and was no doubt brought about by the same conditions. But this other peculiar happening did not rebound to my material benefit. did not get 8 mess of fish out of it. Nevertheless, it excited the keenests imaginable wonderment, and while my stomach did not profit, enjoyed a rare mental feast as the result of it all. The shower was not quite so heavy as the black bass shower, though it1 was of longer duration had noticed the same peculiar atmospheric condf- tions which obtained prior to the heavy shower of black bass. But the. storm blew up from a different direction, from back in the niarshy regions, where the frogs and tadpoles hold high carnival, and where they are as thick in breeding season as hair on dog's back.
 tsThe sight which beheld on this occasion was even stranger than what happened during the raining of black bass. During the showering could hear something hit the ground. and it would give out a sound something like hollow rubber ball, and would bounce up and down. started out to make an examination of the ground The ground was very hard It had been caked by the sun. These little black objects, rebounding. when they. hit the ground, presented one of the strangest sights I have ever seen.

THE RECEPTION ROOM.

The Passing of the Parlor--The Re-
 cept1on Room or Hall.
 One cannot help noticing, remarks the Art Interchange, the rapid changes during the past few years with refer ence to that room called ''parlor." It is only matter of a few years ago when the parlor was the principal room in the house, noted for it's quiet ness, it's large size, it's heavy curtained windows and, still further, that heavy upholstered parlor set. In the major ity of cases the room was only occu- pied after the dinner hour of Sunday afternoon or when the people of the house had company, and what recollec. tions of these bygone days come to you when by chance you run across one of these tonnblike parlors! To be sure, the house had the family sitting room or living room, but the parlor was the room of the house.
 Today the parlor is rapidly changing into the reception room and each year getting smaller in size, and even in some cases it merges into a reception hall, forming "a combination staircase hall and reception room, but in most cases the room still holds it's post of honor, near the front entrance, and, though small in size, is the .kid glove room of the house and used for those afternoon formal calls
 It is a reception room in the fullest sense of the word, a place of meeting the guest and the casual caller before they are invited into the family gath ering.
 In neat little cottage, costing ap- proximately $4,OOO, we have just seen a reception room which would come under the expression of diminutive. This house had hall of fair size, about 10 by IA feet, with staircase at one end. Opening off from this hall was the library or living room, 16 by IS, and in one corner adjoining the front door was the reception room, just seven feet square, with an arched opening into the hall and also into the library. This little room had one large window facing the front, very prettily draped, and the decoration of the room were in old Ivory with yellow and gold. It had soft rose colored rug on the floor and a charming little chandelier of electric light, the square being cut plaster of inexpensive de- sign.

YACHT. AMERICA MAY RACE,

Famous Cup Winner May Sail Across
 the Ocean In Lipton Cup Contest.
 According to Butler Ames, owner ot the famous old schooner yacht Amer. lea, winner of the cup that bears her name, the boat is very likely to be started in the transatlantic race next May, for which Sir Thomas Lipton has offered $5,000 cup, says a Boston special to the New York Times.
 ttThe America is stanch and sound today, and have no hesitation in say ing that I believe she can sail across the Atlantic next summer if necessary without mishap," said Butler Ames.
 Tt is too soon to say anything posi- lively, because the whole thing has been hardly considered yet" added Paul Butler, sbut know of no reason that would make it impossible for the America to enter the race if it is to be free for all, as announced"
 The America is at present out of commission, tied up at Chelsea bridge, in Boston, but she is stanch and sound and could easily be put in condition.

RARE WHISTLER PICTURES.

Newly Discovered Works Of Noted
 Artist to Be Shown I'm America.
 William E. Curtis, the Chicago Rec ord-Heralds correspondent, writing from London about the late James Mo Neill Whistler says: After the death of the American artist not long ago his house and studios on the Chelsea embankment were found filled with portraits, sketches, etchings and other works which his friends &lew nothing about, and they are said to include several examples superior to any that he ever exhibited. They have been in- herited by Miss Rosalind B. Philip, his sister-in-law, executrik and only heir at law, for he was widower without children. His estate was appraised at $52,O00. Among these newly discover ed works is remarkable portrait of George Vanderbilt, which evidently was painted several years ago. but it has never been exhibited or discussed. Why MT. Whistler should have retain ed it in seclusion has not been ex- plained. Perhaps MT. Vanderbilt can throw some light on the subject, but he has not done so, or perhaps it did not suit the artist, who was always very critical of his own work. There are several other equally mysterious portraits, all of them fine examples of Whistler's peculiar style. Those who have seen them declare that they are the best work he ever did.
 ''Whistler's friends in England want to make an exhibition of these, works as an evidence of his greatness and as a rebuke to the Royal academy, which refused to elect him member, but MT. Freer of Detroit, Mich, who was one of Whistler's most devoted friends and owns about seventy of his pictures, has taken possession of his artistic effects and is packing them for shipment to the United States. where they will be exhibited at Boston next winter under the auspices of the Copley society. This arrangement causes much disappointment and chagrin in London, where it was ex- pected that the first exhibition would be givena There is a story in circlla ton, which I cannot verify, that the collection will remain permanently in the United States as a monument to Whistler and be located either in New York or Boston. The matter lies with MT. Freer, but he is not ready, even if he is able, to talk definitely on the subject

there was nothing that ne could do but arrest Alice and take her to Hamilton. It made his heart sink. He would have thought little Of ordering file of sol diers to shoot a man under the same conditions, but to subject her again to the governors stern cruelty-how could he do it? This time there would be no hope for her.
 Alice stood before him flushed, di- sheveled, defiant, sword in hand, beau tiful and terrible as an angel. The black figure, man or devil, had disap- peared as strangely as it had come. The sublieutenant was having his slight wound bandaged. Men were rag ing and cursing under their breath, rubbing their bruised heads and limbs.
 ''Alice-Mlle. ROussillon, am so sor- ry for this," said Captain Farnsworth. Tt is painful, terrible''-
 He could not go on but stood before her unnamed. In the feeble light his face was wan, and his hurt shoulder, still in bandages, dropped perceptibly.

 She was short of breath, so that her voice palpitated with touching plan gency that shook the mans heart.
 Farnsworth accepted the sword. He could do nothing less. His duty admit ted of no doubtful consideration, yet he hesitated, feeling around in his mind for a phrase with which to evade the inevitable.

 ward, feeling at the same time a pair of arms clasp his legs. It was Jean, and the lieutenant, thus unexpectedly tangled, fell to the floor, breaking, but not extinguishing, the guards lantern as he went down. The little remaining oil spread and famed up brilliantly, as if eager for confagration, sputtering along the uneven boards.
 ..Kill that imp!'' cried the lieutenant in strangling voice while trying to re- gain his feet. Shoot! Bayonet!''
 In his pain, rage and haste he inad- vertently set his hand in the midst of the blazing oil, which chung to the flesh with a seething grip.

 At this point new performer came upon the Stage, a dark robed thing so active that it's outlines changed eIu- sively, giving it no recognizable fea- lures. It might have been Satan himself or some terrible unknown wild animal clad somewhat to resemble a man, so far as the startled guards could make out. It clawed right and left, hurled one of them against the wall, dashed another through the door into Mime. Roussiilon's room, where the good woman was wailing at the top of her voice, and felled third with a stroke like that of bears paw.
 Consternation was at high tide when Farnsworth, who always slept with an ear open, reached RoussiIIon place and quickly quieted things He was trou- bled beyond expression when he found out the true state of the affair, for

 'sBut wanted to see you all," Gas pard said. "I was afraid something might have happened to you, so I came back just to peep in. I can't stay, of course. Hamilton would kill me as if were a wolf. I can remain but an hour and then slip out of town again before daylight comes. The rain and darkness are my friends"
 He had seen Simon Kenton, who said he had been in the neighborhood of .Vincennes acting as a scout and spy for Clark. Presently and quite casual ly he added:
 "And I saw Lieutenant Beverley too. suppose you know that he has es- capped from Hamilton, and"- Here 8 big mouthful of venison interfered.
 Alice leaned toward him white and breathless, her heart standing still.
 Then the door, which had been left unbarred, was flung open, and along with great rush of wind and rain the patrol guard, five in number, sprang in.
 M. Roussillon reached his gun with one hand, with the other swung a tre- mendous blow as he leaped against the intruders Mime. Roussillon blew out the light. No cave in the depth of earth was ever darker than that room. The patrolmen could not see one an other or know what to do, but M. Rous- sillon laid about him with the strength of a giant. His blows sounded as if they smashed bones. Men fell heavily humping on the floor Where he rushed along. Some one fired a pistol and by it's flash they all saw him, but instantly the darkness closed again. and before they could get their bearings he was out and gone, his great hulking form making it's way easily over familiar ground where his would be captors could have proceeded but slowly even with light to guide them.
 There was furious cursing among the patrolmen as they tumbled about 1n the room, the unhurt ones trampling their prostrate companions and strik- ing wildly at each other in their blind ness and confusion. At last one of them bethought him to open dark lantern with which the night guards were fur nished. It's flame was huttering and gave forth pale red light that danced weirdly on the floors and walls
 Alice had snatched down one of her rapiers when the guards first entered. They now saw her facing them with her slender blade leveled, her back to the wall her eyes shining dangerously. Mime. Roussillon had fed into the ad- joining room. Jean had also disap- peared. The officer, a subaltern in charge of the guard, seeing Alice and not quickly able to make out that it was1a woman thus defying him, cross ed swords with her. There was small space for action. Moreover, the officer, being not in the least a swordsman, played awkwardly, and quick as flash his point was down. The rapier entered just below his throat with a dull, chucking stab. He leaped back
