rum. as he paused in front Of one
containing two fne adult specimens of
the creature known hereabouts as the
orange Hlensh.
There are few common fish that
have not variety Of names. and the
Jerseyman's name for the orange file-
fish is rather appropriate. The fish
has somewhat the outline as well as
the color of the yellow bags in which
smoked hams were once put up.
The two specimens in the aquarium
are the survivors out of four taken in
Grayesend bay in June last. One of
them is yellow all over. the other is
brown in color over three-ouarters Of
bright light yellow over the remain
der.
The orange filefish is homely in
shape and as thin.bodied as an ordi.
nary fatfish, but unlike the flatfish
in this respect. which swims flatwise.
the filefish swims with its body edge.
wise in the water and commonly car.
rying its head more or less down.
Sometimes when not swimming II
drops its head SO far that the fish
seems to be standing on its head in
the water.
Odd in shape as 1t is and odd in
action. and withal bright colored, II
is very striking creature. and the
two specimens Of 1t here are among
the most attractive of the aquarium's
exhibits.
These two orange fileHshes are the
first that have ever been carried here
through the winter, making a record
for the species in captivity.-New

I Importance AT the moment. but Jessie
did not like him-why. she neither
knew nor cared. She tactfully eiuded
his further attentions. and spent the
remainder OF the Afternoon with his
sisters.
Three days later Arthur Morris
called at the Bishop house and found
Jessie at home. They chatted for an
hour or more. and he secured her
consent To be one OF a coaching party
on the next Saturday. Had II not been
for his presence. she would have ea'
joyed the expedition thoroughly.
More than a week had passed. From
Sam Rounds-who knew OF every
thing that happened for miles about
John heard OF the party. and drank
deep of the lovers hrst cup of sus'
piclon, bitter with the wormwood of
jealousy. He decided TO call on Jessie
and learn his fate. His heart leaped
when Jessie came forward to meet
him. There was tenderness in her
eyes and welcome In the clasp of the
warm little hand which nestled for an
instant in his.
Saddle my horse. John: let's ride!"
she said.
Delighted. John obeyed. and set
himself stolidiy TO enjoy her presence

II have none. Can do anything
asked John eagerly.
II have cousins who ike near the
beach twelve miles south OF here"
said Jessie. II want to spend day
with them. Do you think you could

girls all day. JohnT"

eyes.
It was ten o'clock In the msrning
when the Morris trap stopped In front

NO. thank you. Very sory. am

voice was quiet as he said: Tell Miss
Garden of my disappointment. and say
I'll call some day soon."
Gen. Marshall Garden paid a visit
to the farm n week later. After din.
ner he invited Jessie to a walk, and
his manner told her that something
was impending. They paused to rest
under an arbor. For some moments
both were silent.
IL have something to say to you.
Jessie. which wish could be left
unsaid." began Gen. Garden. clearing
his throat uneasily. Jessie looked
into his face with questioning eyes.
"You arc nearly seventeen. Jessie. and
are now a woman" he continued after
a pause. You belong to good fam.
lily; and. God willing. you will inherit
n modest fortune. You are very beau.
tiful, my pet, and 1t is natural you
should have admirers.
II will explain to you frankly what
has happened. I received a call YES
terday from Mr.. Randolph Morris. In

and sent his compliments. He ex'
pressed regret that his family lad
failed in an attempt to make your
visit to the country more enjoyable
| OF course this greatly surprised me
and when I pressed him for particu

that Arthur had called and that you
had refused to see him." Gen. Car

Defines Cancer,

The peculiarity of cancer among
diseases is that 1t consists in the re-
bellion and malignant behavior of
certain parts of the body itself, not
in the attacks of foreign enemies.
Cancer, in fact, is a state of civil war
in the body, reign of terror pro-
duced by outbreaks of murderous fury
on the part of revolutlonis,s at one or
more localities.
