 That isn't the worst of it. At the dinner Mrs. Vanderskipper told every one that 1t took her less than an hour to write the essay which won the $100 prize.

bass. Wind, weather and tide were precisely right, and the bait was fine and fresh enough to tempt the appe- lite of fisherman, much less a fish. But there was noting doing in the line of scale fish. Channel catfish and gaff-topsails and stingarees there were in plenty, but never the sign of scale. In half an hour the bot tom of the boat was covered with cats and stingarees. Usually these de- spised critters are killed and thrown overheard as soon as caught, but Hank, as the guest of honor, and knowing only catfish. was proud of the big gaff-topsails and wanted to count the catch.
 As the other fellows were proposing to pull up the killick and go home, Robbins got strike, and 1t was a heavy one. Now, Robbins is hand line man, and does not believe in play ing his fish. He wants to see the quarry landed in the shortest possible space of time. What's the use foolin'." says Robbins; you come after the fish; why not get 'em and go?"
 When Robbins got the strike, there fore, the line came in hand over hand, and in jiffy a great houndering shape of silver and drab. long as a mans body. and half his legs, was pounding on the gunwale and beating the green water into a heavy show CT that fell over the whole boats crew.
 Hank was electrified. With a cry like wild Indian, he sprang from his seat upon the thwart, grabbed the big fish around the throat, lifted it in- board and went down with it among the catfish and stingarees.
 The balance of the company looked on in literal fear and trembling There were no less than forty of the sea devils of the poisonous spnes in the bottom of the boat, and there was that blithering idiot from the millponds writhing and wrestling and twisting with a forty-pound sea bass right in the midst of them! It seemed inevita- ble that Hank must be "flnned," but the more the men shouted to him the wilder Hank raved in his delirium of the kill. Hes plumb crazy" said Little Finky, tue skipper.
 As quickly as he could manage it without sticking Hank with the knife Robbins cut the fish's throat. In two minutes more 1t was still
 Then Hank got up. He was as white as ghost. There was not the color of blood in his lips. His cheeks were like chalk, his eyes were glassy and his knees were shaking. Totter- ing astern. he collapsed. with head and arms over the gunway.
 T knowed it," said Little Finky; "he's got 1t good and hard. in a dozen places: the blamed eejit! Serves him right. WhatJe bring millponner on salt water fer. anyhow?"
 "Aw, cut that" growled Robbins. Cant you see the mans in great suffering? Get the peroxide while we and the other boys strip his clothes of and find the punctures."
 No sooner said than done. The shippers had got almost down to na- ture when Hank revived enough to say in a weak voice:
 Leave me alone. you dang fools. l ain't bit nor stung nor nothin'; just swallowed my chaw of tobacco"
 And that was the size of 1t. The Providence that protects little chil- dren and imbeciles and drunken men had steered that "millponner" safely and unscathed through what appeared to be hopeless array of catfish and stingaree spines while he wrestled with the big bass
