FISH DROPPED FROM CLOUDS
ORIGINALLY Carried Aioft In Water
spout Is Simple Explanation
Of Occurrence.

On Friday last a number OF towns
people taking a walk on the slopes of
Knockscalbert hill were surprised to
see on the grass near Summerhill a
large number of very small fishes,
varying in length from 1 IL to 2
inches. The fish appeared to be the
young of the herring.
In August, 1904. a shower of herring
fry was experienced at the head OF
Longrow. but there was no doubt as to
whence the miniature fish had come.
for they fell from above on the hats
and clothing of several men. and at
the time a small black cloud of re-
markable density was directly over
head.
The phenomenon of fish falling from
the clouds is of more common occur
renee than is generally supposed. 1t

formed a striking contrast to the
younger man, who sat leaning heavily
forward, one elbow resting negligently
on his knee, whiting the soft pine
splinter.
Seth shook his head as he watched
the listless figure. He seated himself
by the western window and took up a
book that was lying, face down, on
the broad sill. How are you feeling,
Dick?" he asked abruptly.
"All right" was the answer. ST.
lence fell on the room. The old man
ran his eye rapidly down the page,
found the place where he had left off,
settled himself comfortably in his
chair. and was lost in the book. The
fire blazed and cracked and shone
through the chinks of the warped
stove.
Richard watched the blaze and
waited. The silence was broken by
an inarticulate sound from the win

be the end of a train of thought.

Not until the good-bys had been said
and the clumsy wagon had ratified
down the road did he bring the
thought to the light and face il. He
was alone in his ROOM, a small, bare
room-like his life. No carpet on the
floor, 40 curtain at the window, but
spotlessly clean, from the blue and
white homespun spread on the bed to
b square stand beside il. He sat
on the edge of the bed, one hand shad-
Ing his eyes from the light Of the
small lamp, the other holding a pic
ture on which his eyes rested eagerly.
1t was a small tintype-the face of a
young girl-the eyes large, dark, and
bright, the hair soft and curling, the
forehead high, and the lips firmly
closed.
IL was like, yet curiously unlike, the
face that was looking down at it with
eager inquiry. These eye too, were
large and dark. but they were dreamy
instead of bright; the lips were full
and flexible instead OF thin and close
iy set; and the broad forehead, even
when the shading hand pushed back
the hair impatiently, could not be
called high. In both dark faces was
a certain sturdiness of character. But
the girls face bore the stamp Of fully
developed powers, and the other that
of powers yet uniformed.
Something was struggling in 1t. The
youth was striving blindly to hold to a
belief in his love for the face before
him. That she was lost to him he
had accepted without struggle. But
that his love for her should go, too,
that he should not love her always
HIS poet nature shrank from the
thought. 1t was sacrilege. She had
been so long enthroned in his heart
she belonged there. She might be-
come the wife of another man, let Ed
wards win her, she was still his. His
ideal of her should not be torn from
him. He could not bear ii. 1t should
not be.
And over his idealism, and around
and under 1t, ran a conviction, a
strange certainty, hat love was al
ready dead.

half a mile. Then he left even this
slight trail and struck into the un
broken wood, making his way through
the u~nderbrush and light snow with
free, swinging step.
He had evidently a goal in view,
and he emerged at last into a small
clearing. A small, time-worn house
stood a few rods away. Beyond the
house a long, sloping hill rose to the
horizon, and halfway up the hill an
isolated pine lifted it's branches
against the sky. A barn stood a short
distance from the house, a path con

response to his knock before he lifted
the latch and stood in the low door.
way.
An old man was sitting by the
stove. He had paused in the act of
putting a stick of wood in the fire,
and stood, with stoye-lifter suspended,
looking eXpectantly towards the door.
Halo, Dick" he said, nodding as
he saw his visitor. Turning once more
to the stove, he raped vigorously on
the stick until IL fell into place.
Richard seemed to expect no other
welcome. He crossed the room and
seated himself on a rough, homemade
bench near the fire.
The old man looked at him keenly
from under shaggy gray brows as he
brushed the chips and dust from his
hands. Pretty cold" he said at last.

Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform a crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelikc. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is eXpenslve-lt costs money
TO buy 1t, to hang it and again to re
move it. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material-any one can brush it on-and it
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
1t is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-
full. 4 whole house can be done at just
a little more than the cost of a single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
so much better materials Tor use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash, tallow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an es-

CHAPTER III.

Richard was deep in the heart of
the woods. The sound of his ak rang
sharp in the silence. Now and then
q blue-jay, startled by a heavier blow
or a falling limb, flew with a harsh
cry to a more distant tree. Richard
marked the blue and white flash,

they laid 1t reluctantly again in its
place. "No"-he was brushing back
the snow with quick fingers-'I can't

He stood looking up through the

dropped; they noted the straight. dark
