TROUT SWIM IN BEER POOL
Twenty-seven trout shocked the natives
of Oyster Bay by getting drunk on Sat
urday night. Every one was "soused"
and as result of ecstacy or delirium two
OF the fish are dead. Captain John
Franklin, seafaring man, who has been
living at Oyster Bay since before Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has flowing well on
his place, from which runs a constant
stream of ice-cold water. A pool was
dug and Captain John used the water to
cool beer. Five years ago he put some
trout in to prevent moss and other vege-
tation growing in the pool. On Satur-
day night four kegs of beer were drop
ped and the beverage escaped into the
pool where the fish we're swimming.
No sooner did they get the taste of the
beer than the whole q began fighting TO
get it. Not one of the fish remained
sober. Captain Franklin was aston
ished to see his trout fip-fopping and
racing madly about the water. The
biggest turned handsprings and fought
with the next biggest Captain Frank
lin took out the offending keg and flush
ed the pool with water and the fish be-
gan SOLDERING up about midnight. Next
day the fish had had seedy look,
leaving food untouched and evidently
enioying the coolness of the water.

The men killed were in the press mill at
the time of explosion, and no one can
tell what caused it, though there is a
theory that it was caused by fric' ION
rom some of the machinery. The three
buildings were totally demolished, and
the engine and boiler room, situated
long distance away from the scene Of the
explosion, were also wrecked.

en- others stand back for plain Charles
Brandon to dismount the fairest maid
en- and the most renowned princess in
Christendom. 1t was done most grace
fully. She was but a trifie to his
strong arms, and he lifted her to the
sod as gently as IL she were a child.
The mobiles envied Brandon his evident
favor with this unattainable Mary and
hated him lccordingly. but they kept
their thoughts to themselves for two
reasons: First, they knew not to what
degree the kings favor, already mark
ed, with the help of the princess might
carry him. and. second, they did not
care to have misunderstanding with
the man who had cut out Adam judi
sons eyes.
We remained at Windsor four or five
days, during which time the king made
several knights. Brandon would prob
ably have been one of them, as every
body expected, had not Buckingham
related to Henry the episode of the
loose girth and adroitly poisoned his
mind as to Mary's partially. At this
the king began to cast a jealous eye on
Brandon. His sister was his chief dip
lomatic resource, and when she loved
or married it should be for Henry 8
benefit, regardless of all else.

CHAPTER VI.
RARE RIDE 70 WINDSOR.

A RARE RIDE TO WINDSOR.
I" HE princess knew her royal
brother. A man would re-
ETS=sSSi ceive quicker reward for in
E6J venting an amusement or a
gaudy costume for the king than by
winning him battle. Later in life the
highroad to his favor was in Kidding
him of his wife and helping him to a
new one, dangerous way, though, as
Wolsey found, to his sorrow, when he
sank his glory in poor Anne Boleyn.
Brandon took the hint and managed
to let it be known to his play loving
king that he knew the latest French
games. The French Due de Tongue
vile had for some time been an honor
ed prisoner at the English court, held
as hostage from Louis XII, but De
Longueville was a blockhead, who
could not keep his little black eyes off
our fair ladies, who hated him, long
enough to tell the deuce of spades from
the ace Of hearts. So Brandon was
taken from his duties, such as they
We're, and placed at the card table
This was fortunate at first, for, being
the best player, the king always chose
him as his partner, and, as in every
other game, the king always won. If
he lost, there would soon be no game
and the man who won from him too
frequently was In danger at any mo-
ment Of being rated guilty of the very
highest sort OF treason. / think many
mans fall under Henry VIII. was
owing to the fact that he did not al
ways allow the king to win In some
trivial matter Of game or joust. Under
these conditions everybody was anx-
ious to be the kings partner. 1t is true
be frequently forgot to divide his win
nings, but his partner had this advan-
tage at least-there was no danger Of
losing. That being the case, Brandon's
seat opposite the king was very likely
TO excite envy. and the time soon came,
Henry having learned the play, when
Brandon had to face some one else, and
the seat was too costly for a man with
out treasury. 1t took but a few days
TO put Brandon hors de combat fnan-
cially. and he would have been in a
bad plight had not Wolsey come to his
relief. After that he played and paid
the king In his own coin. so

Mary flushed little and answered:

enjoyed such a famous time in my

sufferer"
But might you not have compro-
missed matters by going around the
truth some way and leaving the i'm
preston that others were of the party
that EVENING"
That was a mistake, for it gave Mary
an opportunity to retaliate: The best
way to go around the truth, as you call
IT, is by a direct lie. My lie was no
worse than yours. But l did not stop
to argue about such matters. There is

The evening was devoted to learning
the new dance, and saw Mary busily

has been made to apply to all of the

other error, which may not have
made so unwittingly, is the failure
to provide any penalty for the VIC
