time Capt. Enoch got out of the habrt of shutting up the dogish in the pond at night.
 That fish is tame and don't care to leave his happy pondside,' said Capt. Enoch. He knows that the only place where he can get oil, which gladdens the hearts of dogfshes, is rom honest old Capt. Enoch. There is no danger of his running away. And it is nuisance to be letting him in and out of the pond
 But it was this lazy good nature on the part of Capt Enoch that caused him to lose his trained dogfish. One day, while the dogfsh was driving fish towards the Mary Bell, Capt. Enoch noticed that there was another dogash, evidently female; hanging around. The captain was pleased at this. ta
 My pet will marry, settle down, and live a respectable life, he re- marked complacently. The result will be lot of little dogfishes who will look to Capt. Enoch for their cod
 
 profits of the fishing industry. With in few years I will be able to organ ize dogfsh fishing trust and con- trol every market along the Atlantic coast
 "One morning, after pretty steady stunt of work, the dogfsh swan up to the boat and got drink of oil !, %o xr,I, e. L. was. She poked her nose near his mouth. It was plain she was smell ing of his breath. Then she gave disgusted flirt of her tail and swan away. The trained dogfish followed and tried to explain things. But she wouldn't listen to him, and he return ed to the Mary Bell with a mighty saddened expression.
 "The next day the dogfish wouldn't touch the cod liver oil. It was evil dent he was making himself popular with the female, though far from com fortable himself The day after that he yielded to temptation and took an unusually large quantity of oil The female wouldn't look at him. He swan back disconsolately to the boat and drowned his grief in cod liver oil, which Capt. Enoch handed out in liberal quantities.
 "'Women never did man or fish any good said Capt. Enoch, who was a confirmed old bachelor. That is Q Delilah dogf1sh. She is trying to lead you astray, attempting to persuade you to abandon the man who trained you. Take a good drink and forget her.
 'The trained dogfsh filled up on cod liver oil. The next morning it was plain that he had pale yellow taste and troubled conscience When he reached the fishing grounds the fe- male was waiting for him. A man didn't need to be an expert in fish na- ture to see that she was laying down the law, telling him that he would l have to choose between her and the cod liver oil. Capt. Enoch saw that his protege was wavering and held | the bottle of cod liver oil over the side of the boat. The dogfish saw it. He was on the verge of yielding to temptation, and had begun to swim slowly towards the Mary Bell. But the female got in front of him, looked at him in the most reproach. full manner, and putting fin over him tried to turn him away. His appetite for cod liver oil wasn't strong enough to conquer that appeal. The lovelorn dogfish gave one last longing look at the oil, then turned tail and swan out to sea at the top of his speed. He was fleeing from temptation
 Capt Enoch gave sigh and be. gan hauling in his line.
 Another good fish gone wrong. he said sorrowfully. Another promis ing career ruined by feminine inf14 ences.'"
