continued to look at his prize with
pride.

not be uneasy. I am obliged to charge
any person who breaks the law, but
there is no need for the matter TO
come into court. I will arrange that.
We are not brutes. 1 shall state the
circumstances OF the case. To lose

NJ Cormenct unsuccessfully Sitting
a sigh. began to collect his bait balls
and the fish drum in which he had
placed his large Jumps of bait.
Anyone can see that you know how
to fish" said the gendarme flattering-
". What are those Jumps of bait

1T is the mixture as made by Flor

declared NJ. Cormenot, with touch
of vanity. Some cascarilla bark, some
potter's earth and a little rind of the
incense gum tree, myrrh, some barley
meal soaked in wine, a piece of pork
liver, little garlic and some fine
sand. 1t is wonderful. And it doesn't
smell bad either-it is quite deli
cacy"
And it pleases the fish. and makes
it tipsy," said the gendarme.
Ut is fdiotic to say that II makes
the fish tipsy-absolutely idiotic!' pro-
tested NJ. Coremnot.
Certainly. certainly" concedd the
gendarme, always benevolent. 81 must

am very sorry
"Gendarme, questioned NJ. Cormenot
tinidly, will this matter take the
usual course?"
Don't be uneasy said the gendarme;
they are only small troubles. You
have a conscience, too, haven't you?'
M. Cormenot had his conscience also.
And this gendarme had been so polite
that, as he went home, he was not
thinking of anything more than the
loss Of his catch of fish and his fish
basket
1t was, therefore, with-profound as
tonishm@nt that he received several
days later, summons to appear before

"HE winter had been rainy, and
mild, and although it was but
the end of January, the snow
drops were pushing their heads
through the impoverished grass OF the
meadows by the narrow, winding river
Bresle.
Monsieur Cormenot came cautiously
down the steep bank
Having found the place where he
had laid his bait the night before. he
began to fit up his beautiful fishing
rod.
He despised the boiled wheat bait
of the ordinary fisherman when nsh-
ing for roach and he baited this hook
With small. light ball the size Of a
pea. made of breadcrumbs, honey and
assafae tida His soul was filled with
an intense, calm delight; kind OF
serene intoxicatton; he was fishing
Sometimes the sun shone, and the
hare trees in the distance took on
very soft lilac tint From time to time
a roach or club struck at the bait
Then began the fight, between the 1lsn
and the man. Sometimes he lost, but
oftener brought 1t to the landing net,
then fnto>his fishing basket full Of wet
grass.
After that M. Cormenot proudly put
on fresh bait quite delighted with the
strength and patience displayed In the
struggle.
presently he heard footsteps. on the
soft grass above his head. He turned
round: a gendarme was watching him
attentively. -,
M Cormenot was in noWtse dis
turbed; he was not fishing in the
prohibited season, the river Bresle was
free to everyone and, lastly, his con-
oh him with any,
thing.
The gendarme, in a low and gentle
voice, as If afraid to brighten the fish,
asked:
YES replied NJ Cormenot by a
silent motion of his head.
Suddenly the float ran out, at right
angles with the bank, and dived De
fore NJ. Cormenot could even tie IT.
The long rod bent so abruptly that
Cormenot thought it was going to
break with lips closely pressed, he
allowed the float to run out as far as
the line would allow, drew 1T In and
naid out afresh The great fish leaped
clear of the water. his vivid green
body flashing in the sunlight. NJ Cor
menot followed the pole into the water
in an effort to keep the captive fast
What a fine catch!" said the gen
darme. What a fine eaten! All! II
you were to lose it,!
And he, himself, held out the landing
net when the bounding prey came near
the bank.
A prisoner, the fish filled the net.
and the handle bent with the weight
Of his body.
How big he isl said the gendarme,
with an air of admiration. He is as
big, as big-as one Of my feet! But
what is IT? L have never seen one like
that before"
TT Is a chart" replied NJ. Cormenot,
who boosted that he knew all the fish
of France. 1T is a char. 1t is a rare
fish here it must have been carried
down by the floods. And it must have
been famished to bite at ball bait"
All" put in the gendarme. in voice
that was always very gentle. so that
is char? Good gracious! How pro-
voking this is!''

Helen could only consent If Annals
brother was sick and his children alone
of course she would have to go.
To do without Anna for several
weeks. Anna, wao had been with them
since their marriage, and who was so
good and faithful. Helen supposed she
could get Mrs Fitzgerald. but the
thought of having that lOquacious, IN
tidy old woman about was not pleasant.
She resolved not to send for her until
she talked it over with Warren that
evening.
Her Brave Decision.
In the meantime she would get din
ner all by herself today. The butcher
had already left the roast which Anna
had ordered early that morning. But
for this dinner Helen wanted some
thing less commonplace than roast beef
So she put 1t in the refrigerator for
the next day. and then telephoned for
a small, plump chicken. She began
early in the afternoon to get things
ready. to prepare the vegetables and
make the salad dressing.
But first OF all, she drew Warren's
big chair into the kitchen. filled It
with a comfort and pillows and there

And let's God finish the thought
sublime.
Joaquin Miller.
To succeed is to do your best; failure
is to stay where you are and to do
what you can just as well as you can.
Outside success is what man looks up
on and worships; inside success is what
you are, and what God looks at in
forming the final estimate.
To be the best you can possibly be
under your circumstances. And to do
the best where you are. patient and un-
omplaining-this is to succeed.
Some Who Were Successful.
Did Columbus fail because irons bit
heart? Did Cromwell fail because his
bIeached bones were hung in chains
and buried among thieves and muir
derers? Was the gifted musical genius,
Mozart, a failure because he died pen
ni1ess and sleeps in an unknown grave!
Was Milton a failure-Milton who sat
in his blindness and received $50 for
his immortal epic? No true man fails
who has lived a life that has accom-

Queer and not a mere consumer. is g
grand thing in itself; the thing may not
have been accomplished, but the man
be a more accomplished man. Ruskin
says: TT is better to prefer honor
able defeat to a mean victory. to low
ering the lere1 of our aim that we may
more certainly enjoy the complacency
of success" With many men the thing
succeeded, but the man failed.
The Comprehensive Inquiry.
Talleyrand's question is ever the
main one; not, rs he rich? Has ne

Enlistment? Butts he anybody
Does he stand for something? That's
the comprehensive inquiry Of a mans
1ife-Does he represent honor, truth,

with square dealing, has he the re-
spect and confidence of his fellowmen?
