Rome's Colossal Fish Pond.

The duke of Sermoneta who is acting
as president Of the committee formed
in Rome to promote the independence
of Poland, ranks among the greatest
landowners in Italy, Fogliano, his es-
tate near the Pontine marshes, extend
ing to $4,000 acres, mainly under
grass, for the duke owns vast herds Of
cattle. The most productive portion
of the estate, however, is a lake sew
eral miles long and about mile in
breadth, which, from the time of the
Roman empire downward, has sup
piled fish for the market in Rome.
Whenever there is a food by rain on
the hills the lake overfows through
narrow channel into the sea. The
sea fish find their way through into
the lake, and remain to fatten In the
fresh water, and then are captured on
their return by an ingenious labyrinth
constructed OF reeds into which they
swim. They are OF the best kind

CHAPTER XXI.
Master and Friend.

Pitchoune, who might have been
considered as one Of the infinitesimal
atoms in the economy of the universe,
ran over the sands away from his
master. He was an infinitesimal dot
on the deserts face. He was only a
small Irish terrier in the hear of the
Sahara. His little wiry body and his
color seemed to blend with the dust.
His eyes were dimmed by hunger and
thirst and exhaustion, but there was
the blood Of a fighter in him and he
was thoroughbred. Nevertheless,
he was running away. 1t looked very
much like it. There was no one to
comment on his treachery; had there
been, Pitchoune would not have run
far.
1t was not an ordinary sight to see
on the Sahara small Irish terrier
going as fast as he could.

Two women said:
"Oh, heavens!" at once.

Of anxiety in the younger voice alone.
He glanced at the Comtesse de Ia

said, "a mans life is at stake and We

The Marquise d'Esclignac got down
from her throne, trembling. Her eyes
were fixed upon her niece

Madame de la Maine said nothing.
Robert, you are my godson, and I
forbid it. Your mother"
lis one Of the bravest women

Julia withdrew her arm from the
Comtesse de la Maine as though to
leave her free.
Then you two girls" said the Mar
quise d'Esclignac, thoroughly Ameri-
can for a moment, must forbid him
to CO." She fixed her eyes sternly
upon her niece, with a glance Of en-
treaty and reproach. Miss Redmond
said in a firm voice:
"In Monsieur de Tremont's case I
should do exactly what he proposes"
"But he is risking his life," said the
Marquise d'Esclignac. HE is not even
an intimate friend of Monsieur de Sa-
bron!"
fremont said, smiling:
You tell us that he has no broth

A thrill touched Julia Redmond's
heart. She almost loved him. If, as
her aunt had said, Sabron had been
out of the question
Madame de la Maine," said the
Marquise dEsclignac, her hands shak-
ing, Il appeal to you to divert this
headstrong young man from his pur-
pose"
The Comtesse de la Maine was the
palest of the three women. She had
been quietly looking at fremont and
now smile crossed her lips that had
tears back of it-one of those beau
tiful smiles that mean so much on
a woman's face. She was the only
one of the three who had not yet
spoken. fremont was waiting for her.
Hammet Abou, with whom he had
been in earnest conversation, was an
swering his further questions. The
Marquise d'Esclignac shrugged, threw
up her hands as though she gave up
all questions of romance, rescue and
disappointed love and foolish girls,
and walked out thoroughly wretched,
Mimi tinkling at her heels. The Com
tesse de la Maine said to Julia:
Ma chere, what we're the words of
the English song you sang last night
the song you told me was a sort Of
prayer. Tell me the words slowly,

They walked out of the vestibule
together, leaving Hammet Abou and
fremont alone.

The Junior Promenade given by
the class of 1916 in the college
gymnasium last Friday evening
was the usual social success. Many
young folk, from all parts of Della

The gymnasium was beautifully
decorated with blue and gold bunt-
ing and electric lights and showed
the untiring efforts of the class to
make the dance a success. A large
American flag bordered by blue
and gold colored lights formed the
centerpiece, while at each end
streamers Of blue and gold bunting
attached to the balcony, hung from
cluster Of blue and gold lights.
Blue and gold lights as well as
college banners and pennants hung
around the balcony and complied
the effect Of blue and gold. The
programs were of black leather
with junior promenade, the class
numerals and the college seal en-
graved on them. The ladies' pro-
gram was a combination card and
vanity case, while the gentlemen s
gram was a combination card and
notebook.
The music was furnished by
Jacobs s Orchestra and the music
as well as the orchestra s generosity
in encores was the subject of much
favorable comment. The orchestra
made up Of ten pieces included
harp, drum and bass viol.
A feature of the evening was the

lights, with the exception Of great
cluster, in the form Of a moon, were
extinguished. The committee in
charge was warmly complimented
on this novel feature of the decora-
tiOns.
