A p1ckEREL's JUMP.
Started After a Sunfish In New York.
Cleared New jersey, and Land-
ed In Pennsylvania.

The rock that marks the boundary
lines of New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey lies in the Delaware river
at Carpenters Point, N. Y. On that
rock the lines come together so that one
may spread three fingers OF his hand
and have a finger in each OF those
states and in the counties of Orange,
N. Y. Pike, Pa. and Sussex. N. ].
Floyd Campbell went swimming in the
river OF Tri-States rock the other day.
After swimming for awhile he got upon
the rock to sun himself AS he lay there,
his head in Pennsylvania. his right foot
in New York state and his left in New
Jersey, he saw a commotion in the water
on the New York side of the rock.
The commotion came rapidly toward
the rock and eliminated in the breaking
from the water of a sunfish, with big
pickerel in its wake. The terror-strick-
en- sunfish's rush to escape from its saw
age pursuer took it foot or more be-
yond the edge of the water on the slop-
ing side of the rock. The pickerel, In
fierce pursuit, followed the sunfish,
and the impetus of it's charge carried II
clear through New Jersey and half way
across Pennsylvania, where it stopped
The sunfish instantly Topped back
into the water. If the pickerel had
been content to go on either into the
water on the Pennsylvania side of the
rock or the New Jersey side, it would
have saved itself; but it turned on the
rock and began Topping back into the
New York waters.
That move was fatal Campbell re-
covered from his surprise, rose to sit
ting posture and reached for the pick
erel. His middle finger ran under the
gills of the fish and stopped it where i
was. AS it lay captured, its position was
such that it covered part of three state:
and three counties. 1t weighed nearly
three pounds.

Humps HIS study.

1t was an odd fad enjoyed by q
wealthy bachelor who died recently
in Liverpool. His heir, on opening
his desk, was surprised to find in it q
manuscript volume of 1000 pages,
which was entirely devoted to a study
of humpbacks.
Further investigation showed that
for several years this man, who, by
the way, was himself stalwart, tan
and athletic, had closely studied this
curious subject and had visited va
rious countries for that purpose.
According to his manuscript, there
are more hulnpbacks. in Spain than
anywhere else, the number in one
small district at the foot of the Ser
IA Morena amounting to one in every
Is inhabitants. There are also many
in the Loire region in France.
From the statistics of all the coun-
tries of the globe it appears that
there is one humpback in every LOCO
persons, which IS equivalent to say
ing there are 10000 humpbacks in
the entire world-Stray Stories.

some one shouted "Hop-sack!' -

To dump" Rossiter discovered,

that they should have less time to

ceeded to carry out his wife's sug-
gestion, but when he had finished
they still lacked two inches of hav-
ing one level box.

their fingers fly, and soon he, too,

Mccormick, H., Sept. 2Sth.-Miss Ethel

of the statements it contains. As her letter
will be read with interest, and probably with
profit by many women, it has been thought
advisable to publish it in part. Among other
things Miss Bradshaw says

Lutte, fixed, and definite, might have
recognized it and called it purpose. =
AS Mrs. Becraft desired an errand
done in Hintonville, after supper Joe
got a ride into the village with one
of the hired men who was going for
the evening mail. Rossiter, left to
himself, wandered down into the
great orchard below the small close
where the mems sleeping quarters
were. 4 wagon track led through
it, and he followed this till he
reached meadow that dipped gently
to dense strip of woodland. Far
away in the west the streamers of
the sunset laced the sky. Leaning
against the fence rails, he watched
the splendor fade, filled with a more
uplifting sense of spirit than he had
felt in many day.
With the shutting down of dusk
he walked back towards the house.
AS he drew abreast of the hop-kiln
he saw two men seated in the door
way whom he made to be Mr.. Merton
and Jack Parmelee.

"Why, young Gridley, who was

Gridley-that was the name, Ros-
sitter recalled, by which he had heard
the slender fellow addressed who
pulled for his box and that of the
Becrafts.
"What'n you do?' demanded Mr..
Merton. "Pole-pullers are mighty
scarce this year"
"Well have to try an break in
one of the pickers, I suppose"
One of the pickers!-the words
rang in ROSTERS ears. Why not
himself? Certainly he was strong
enough, and, he fattered himself,
clever enough. He was very sure that

thing to swerve her from her course.
She was after him in season and out

any other girl to be with him if she

BEFORE THE FIRE.

Here IN my easy chair I sit
An old, old man before the fire.
Deaf to all sounds of every day
And dead to every past desire.
Perhaps the failing outward sense
Quickens the spirits inner ear,
For sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds hear.
All this long afternoon 1 heard
The brook in the old orchard sing
Just as 1t used to, on thee farm,
When first the grass grew green In
spring.
You know that gurgling, gladstone noise
The voice of water wild with glee
When 1t has burst it's icy bond
And finds itself alert and free.

When I went forth at break of day,
Call through the sunrise hush once
more.
And that one bird that nested high

A trickle Of clear melody,
It thrills me oft, her slender note.
Ny mothers voice. too-oh, so plain
It calls across the fading light:
Come, children, time to leave your play:
Come in the house. tbs almost night!'
Sometimes when you have left the room,
And I alone am sitting here,
I speak the answer right out loud:
Eyes, yes, I'm coming, mother dear!'
Then there's one song comes back to me,
Your mother sang it, my dear wife,
n slender girl dressed all in white.
First time saw her in my life.
She used to carol like a bird
It's an old fashioned song. / know,
But day by day 1 hear her still
Singing: John Anderson, my Jo."

To join her in the angel throng,
Her voice, above the heavily hymn,
Will rise once more in that loved song.
An old, old mainland common speech
But seldom reaches my dulled ear;
Yet sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds 1 hear.

CHAPTER V.
AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE.

AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE.
A gruff clanoring from without,
and tremendous humping on the
side Of the building, awakened Ros-
sitter the following day. The unusual
sensation of finding himself in a clean
and comfortable bed created for a
brief space a great wonder in his
mind, and it was not until he espied
Joe Becraft sitting upon the edge
Of his cot yawning and stretching
himself that he became fully aware
where he was lying. The instant
he scrambled out upon the floor he
knew that the air had changed dur
ing the night, for fresh breeze
swept in an adjacent window. Drops
of rain glistened in the pale dawn
on the grass where it was not shell
tered by the trees, but Rossiter dis
covered when he went towards the
barn for n morning scrub that it was
only the edge of the shower that had
touched the Merton farm. The at
mosphere, however, had cleared and
the dust was laid, so that everyone
was in excellent humor.
. AS he came out from breakfast
with the Becrafts two men were
bearing the last double hop-box into
the yard across the way where the
picking was to begin. Presently Jack
Parmelee appeared and announced
that everything was in readiness,
whereat there was a general move
ment towards the yard. The women
and girls had provided themselves
with great sun-hats and cotton
Gloves and Rossiter observed that
some of the boys had also procured
q protection for their heads.
"Does one need gloves of any
sort?" he inquired of Joe Becraft.
81 don't see that you have any"
Jim an / never use en- was the
reply. IF the vines bother you at
first, you'll find your skin'll get
toughened to 'em after little
Jack Parmelee had the apportion-
ment of the pickers, and at Ros-
siter's request he was placed at a
box adjoining his friends, where he
could talk across the rows to them.
He had for his companions car
penter from 1llica, who was out of a
job, and his wife and son, boy of
Jim Becraft's age. He fell into pleas
ant conversation with them, and as
they had frequently been in the hop,
fields before, they gave him such
: simple instruction as was necessary
in regard to picking. Shortly after
operations began an additional Is

was rapidly putting off his indiffer-
ence. 1t did not occur to him to
doubt his ability to succeed in the
work which he had elected to under
take. on the morrow. The waking
half-tiisks of the new moon cast his
shadow before him. and in this and
the chirr song of the crickets there
was sufficient companionship. He
was glad he had not found Becraft.
After he had proceeded thus alert
ly for half a mile, the highway dipped
sharply into wide and deep va!e
that was packed with the dense shad-
ows of night. Beyond, upon an OPP
posite crest, group of fir trees
thrust their dark pyramids into the
sky. Rossiter had no mind to plunge
into this gloomy void, so he seated
himself in a fence corner above the
lighted his pipe. He was more free
with his tobacco now that he actually
had something like steady employ
ment.
In the darkness not far distant a
wood-thrush was sending up its final
evening fute-notes. Rooster listen

thought of the past nor of the flu
ture, conscious only of the present.
When the bird ceased singing there
was still the orchestral music of the
crickets for his delectation. The
moon was well risen in the heaven
by the time his pipe burned out. yet

ually emerged from its obscurity and
was brinmed with moonlight like an
enormous bowl. He fancied he could
| make out the forms of grazing cat
tie, and caught the silvery moon
sheen upon the running water. The
half-distinct panaroma held him until
his attention was taken by a sound
which he presently made out to be
| the, footballs of a pedestrian plodding
along the road from the direction of
the Mertons.
The large, slouching figure of a mau
at length came into view. Directly
opposite where Rossiter sat the way
| farer paused. A wide-brimmed felt
hat so hid his face that all Ross
| tier could distinguish was a stubby
| beard. The whilom at once set the
| newcomer down as one of the indi-
gent fraternity to which he had so
recently belonged, and, having no de-
sire for speech with him, did not
move. But the man in the highway,
| halted as Rossiter had been by the
vast dip and sweep 'of~the land, cast
| his eyes about as if for spot to rest
| before going farther. On the reclin-
ing form upon the bank, clearly re-
vealed by the moonlight, his glance
naturally fell.
"Hullo!" he said in gruff surprise.
"Hullo!" returned Rossiter reluct-
antly.
"Campin' fer the night?"
"No. not exactly"

The man had moved several steps

from the fence-corner had not been

stopped.

inquired. as a means of renewing the
