United States Senator Tom Carter

Fellows. This man Fellows said

a halter. 1t was his purpose TO teach
school, become a preacher or, failing
in both, steal horse and ride back

man Allen he Numbered, tells you
that he figured in many engagements

hearers with reminiscent tales of
mirtnful character.

Put he did what he could. Not a
week of the long winter passed by
without a bunch of lighthouses flowers
from the vicarage conservatory; not a
day went by without visit from him.
1t was wonderful how often he
found time TO drop in at the school,
and it was singular how often on his
daily walk he found himself outside
the cottage gate talking to May. as she
stood in the little garden or sat by the
window.
With Carrie he at once established
perfect understanding, Carrie, blue
eyed ard buoyant, full of fun-which
not even the trouble could Quench-at
once took to the handsome, good
natured vicar.
He lent he books. sent her the new
magazines, gave her lessons in skating
and lawn-tennis, and was, as Carrie
said one day, like brother.
AS matter Of fact, Carrie had
never been happier in her life than
now; certainly not so happy in the
days Of Gresham House and grandeur.
Though May refused all invitations
to dinner for both Of them, she did
not make any objection to Carries go
ing out to teas and small festivities
and Carrie, long before the winter
had gone, was quite a popular per-
sonage, and welcome not only at the
'squire's, but at the doctors and the
lawyers, and at every house which
she visited.
Yet, Notwithstanding, the strong
bond of love between the two girls
was never loosened for an hour.
There was no one in the wide worli,
in Carries eyes, like May, and May
watched over her with all the old low
ing care and solicitude.

CHAPTER XVI.

Winter has gone at last. Like the
sullen OLD man that he is. he has re-
treated grudgingly, with slow, tagging
step, before the advance of the all
conquering spring maiden. But he is
gone at last, the meadows, long i'm
prisoned in his strong hand, CLEAN
greenly in the warm sun: the trees
put forth their buds with timidity
that grows into strength with each
succeeding day, aud the birds sing
out their advent song of joyous sum-
mer.
So warm is the air which sweeps
softly through the valley, bearing upon
it's bosom the familiar sounds of
country life, the lowing of COWS pass
ing down the hill to be MIXED. the
murmur Of the innumerable bees. the
shouts and laughter of the school chill
dren on the green, that May leans out
of the old-fashioned easement win
lows, and drinks in with peaceful
welcome the caressing breeze.
Very lovely her face looks, clothed
in it's rapt expression Of serene enjoy
ment, and framed by the wistaria that
clusters in thitk punches all around
the window.
With her small, white hands clasped
loosely on the sill she leans forward
and looks down the valley. Spring
that has worked SO many miracles to
the land has been generous to her, and
has touched the face, tEat was pale
as the lily all through the long win
ter, with it's rosy fingers, and left a
delicate, peachlike bloom.
If it had also impaired a CLEAN of
it's joyous brightness to the large, dark
eyes there would have been nothing
wanting to win for the beautiful face
the coveted title of happy but even
springs subtle powers are limited.
and there is a look of wistful weari-
ness which defles even it's magic.
Never for a moment, though the lips
and the eyes themselves smile, does
that look leave her. and it is-say
some-the subtle charm of the beauti-
full face.
| 1t. is this vague, faint touch of sad
ness, of suppressed usefulness, which
attracts those who see her for the first
time-9ttracts and holds them as if by

light and buoyant enough, her voice as
clear and not seldom as gay as of old f;

FLY FISHING IN ANTIQUITY.
Greek Writer of the Third Century
Describes the Practice.


Probably few fishermen are aware
That fly fishing dates back to classic
times. A minute description OF the
artificial fly as used by Macedonian
anglers is given by Aelian, a Greek
writer of the third century A. D., as
follows:
Between Berea and Tnessalonica
there flows river Astraeus by name,
and there in it fishes OF a spotted
color, but by what name people OF
those parts call them it is better to
ask Macedonians. At any rate these
fish live upon the native flies which
fall into the river and are like no flies
of any other part; one would neither
call them wasplike in appearance, nor
would one reply to question that this
creature is formed like what we call
the honey bees themselves. 1t mas
really tine proper fashion of each OF
the above. In audacity it is like fly,
in size it might be called a humble
bee, In color it rivals the wasp and 1t
buzzes like the honey bees. All com
mon creatures of this sort are called
horse tails. These pitch upon the
stream to seek the food they affect,
but can not help being seen by the
fish which swim underneath.
$50 whenever one of them sees the
fly floating ne comes softly, swimming
under the water, afraid Of disturbing
the surface and so soaring away his
game. Then ne comes near the shady
side of the fly, gapes and sucks him
in, just like a wolf snatching sheep
from the fold or an eagle goose from
the yard. This done, he disappears
beneath the ripple. The fishermen
do not make any use of these flies fol
bait for the fish, for if the human
nand lays hold of them they lose
fish. So for this reason they make no
use OF them, disliking them because
their nature forbids their capture.
$50 with angling craft they outwit
the fish, devising a sort of lure against
them They lap a lock of reddish
wool round the hook, and to the wool
two cocks feathers which grow under
the wattles, and are brought to the
proper color with wax. The rod is
from six to ten feet long and the
horse-hair line has the same length.
They lower the lure. The fish is at
tracted by the color, excited, draws
close and, judging from it's beautiful
appearance that it will obtain mar
velous banquet, forthwith opens its
mouth, but is caught by the hook, and
bitter, indeed, is the feast it has, in
asmuch as it is captured"

all that has passed-be my wife?"
For moment she remains motion
less, then she turns her head, and
with still downcast eyes, touches his
hand with ner lips.

With a sudden thrill he bends over

long, lingering kiss.
Half an hour afterwards the door
opens, and Vane enters.

Heron, who is standing leaning over
Roses chair, his hand. from which
hers has suddenly slipped, toying with
the fringe of her shawl. "Halloa
YOU are here, then! 1 had a pretty

She looks up with soft smile and
a faint blush.
'I-L don't think I am going, Vane."
"No?" he says. 'Then what on
earth did you mean by insisting upon
my taking you? Not going, eh?"
NO" says Heron, with smile
that is still rather grim. 81 can't spare
her tonight, Vane."
Vane looks from one to the other;
Rose rises slowly and crosses to the
door, but Heron takes her hand in his
and detains her.
Rose has promised to be my wife,

Vane starts, and with an unfeigned
exclamation of satisfaction, holds out
his hand; and as Heron releases hers

into Lady Letchford's room.
The old lady is sitting before the
fire, her hands resting idly in her lap
The beauty comes softly forward and
stands before her, with smile on her
face.
Lady Letchford looks UP with a
questioning, half-muttered, half-excited
glance

HELL'S coNcLAvE.


required of thee.-Luke 1920.
One day mid hell's internal noise. a
hush
Of expectation came on all the lost,
For in this lurid throne-room sat the
one
Who, doomed for aye meath Gods un-
plying curse.
And, bent on Cutting his undying hate
For Him, and knowing that in poor
weak man
When out of grace, an easy prey he'd
find,
And seeing how He loved the human
race
Knew we'll that every soul he snatched
from Him
Would cause His heart a pang. So he
had called
Together all his most deceitfu1 imps
For consultation, and the topic was
When Christ's plain gospel, and saliva
ton free
Are offered man. what then will be
the best
And greatest plan to keep him lost
til we
Can drag his spirit to our pit of doom
And gloat upon his sufferings here in
hell?
Then for time discussion waxed red
hot,
And tricks and plans unnumbered were
set forth.
And every snare that deyilish minds
could form
Was laid before Old Lucifer. One cried
I'll say to man that Christ was not III
vine,
But just a human being without
power.
Another said, I'll tell him that Gods
word
Is but pack of we'll invented lies.
And one by one they spoke of what
they'd say,
And how they'd bring up selfish
thoughts, and how
They'd tell the business man he had
not time
To bother with the Savior, and instil
The thought into the poor mans
weary brain
That God was too Unjust And so
each one
Argued for his plan. until the last but
one
Had had his say, and then all eyes
were brought
To bear upon the last imp left, but he
The picture Of eternal laziness.
Too tired to even want to speak, when
asked
What his plan was, drawled forth, III
say to man
You must not doubt that God is love,
nor laugh
At offers of salvation. and I'd tell
Him that the bibles true, and Jesus
Christ
Was truly the beloved Son Of God.
A roar of anger followed at these
words
Old Safe himself could scarce believe
his ears
When, with yawn, the tired imp
spoke again:
But, after l admitted everything,
And man was ready to accept the
Christ,
I'd say-and here hush spread DER
the crowd
While Lucifer himself, to hear the
words
Stepped from his throne-Td say, the
imp began,
What could you say? cried Lucifer, I'd
say,
And out of ten I'd always trap the
nine,
And nine of every ten will soon fill
hell,
I'd say, my friend, tomorrow's time
enough.
Old Satan tainted with excess or JOY
At finding such sure and splendid
plan.
And ever since the shute from earth
To keep from blocking with mems
souls, requires
An extra gang Of devils night and day.
