the course of time. the overhanging

High tide or low, there was always
sufficient water to float a battleship,
and the place was noted as a favorite
nook for salmon. at that season pre-
pairing for their annual visit to the
sylvan streams of the moorland val
leys.
The lordIy salmon Is peculiar in his
habits. Delighting, at one period of
the year, TO roam through the ocean
wiids, at another he seeks shallow
rivers, in whose murmuring fords he
scarce finds room to turn his portly
frame
And the law protects him most jeal-
ously.
In the river he is guarded like a
king. and when he clusters at its
mouth, lazily making up his mind to
try change of water, as a monarch
might visit Homburg for change OF
air. he can only be caught under cer-
tain sever restrictions.
He must not be netted within so
many yards of the seaward limit Of
the estuary; he may not be caught
wholesale; the nets must have a max
imum length OF 400 feet: they must
| not be set between p. m. on a Fri
day and q. m. on a Monday.
Viewed in every aspect. the salmon

evity. His price is high as has culi-

quel to all these precautions Is that

poachers try every artifice to defeat

| A favorite dodge is to run out q
| large quantity Of nets In just such a
| tideway as the foot Of the cliff
crowned by Grange house. None can

many chances of escape from enter

vision
He fell into fitful slumber dis
turbed by vivid dreams. Once he was
sinking ship, a ship with a crew of
dead men, and dead captain at the
helm.
Driving onward through the raging
,, waves, he could feel the vessel set
Ting more surely, as she rushed into
each yawning caldron. Suddenly,
through the wreck OF flying spindrift,
he saw a smooth harbor, a sheltered
basin, in which vessels rode In safety.
There were houses beyond, with
cheerful lights. and men and women
were watching the doomed craft from
the firm security of the land.
But, strain his eyes as he would.
he could see no entrance to that har-
bor; naught save furious seas break
ing oyer relentless walls of granite
Even in his dream he was not

He asked the captain. with an oath:
Is there no way in?'
And the captain turned corpselilxe
eyes toward him. 1t was Philip An

Then he awoke to find Willie stand

words.

He examined three sides of the

There was no answer. He knocked
