Whenever there is flood by rain on the hills the lake overfiows through a 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 chiefly gray muliet.

Master and Friend.

Pitehoune, 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 8 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 fighter in him and he was a thoroughbred. Nevertheless. he was running away. It looked very much like it. There was no one to comment on his treachery; had there been, Pitchoune would not have run far.
 It was not an ordinary sight to see on the Sahara-a small Irish terrier going as fast as he could

 Tt would cost a great deal, Excel lency."
 You shall have all the money you need. Do you think you would be able to find your way?"
 Yes, Excellency"
 The Due de Fremont watched the American girl. She was bartering with an Arabian for the salvation of a poor officer. What an enthusiast He had no idea she had ever seen Sabron more than once or twice in her life. He came forward.
 Let me talk to this man." he said with authority, and Julia Redmond did not dispute him.
 In a tone different from the light and mocking one that he had hitherto used to the Arab, Fremont began to ask a dozen questions severely. and in his answers to the young French man, Hammet Abou began to make favorable impression on every one save the Marquise d'Esclignac. who did not understand him. There was a huge bamboo chair on a dais un- der Chinese pagoda, and the Mar quise d'Esclignac took the chair and sat upright as on a throne. Mimi, who had just been fed, came in tinkling her little bells and fawned at the sandals on Hammet Abou's bare feet. tolI mont said to his friends:
 This man says that if he joins a Jewish caravan, which leaves here to- morrow at sundown, he will be taken with these men and leave the city without suspicion, but he must share the expenses of the whole caravan. The expedition will not be without danger; it must be entered into with great subtlety. He is either said Fremont, ''an impostor or a remark able man."
 He is an impostor, of course" murmured the Marquise d'Esclignac Come here, Mimi"
 Fremont went on:
 Further he will not disclose to us. He has evidently some carefully laid plan for rescuing Sabron"
 There was pause. Hammet Abou, his hands folded peacefully across his breast. waited. Julia Redmond wait ed. The Comtesse de Ia Maine, in her pretty voice, asked quickly:

The quest for something new in millinery for fall has begun in earnest and there is no indication that the seekers after novelty and beauty will be disappointed Ideas originated by our own American designers. and some others. which the French, in spite of the distractions of war have had the inspiration and the time to work out, are more than creditable to both countries. The new millinery is rich and chic and sufficiently novel
 There is a great variety in graceful shapes to choose from. Noticeably prominent are those that tilt upward at the back There are many high crowned hats and many of uneven width of brim. This gives the mil liner endless latitude in the shaping of brims to suit the individual face.
 In fabrics. velvet. satin. metallic faces and braids bespeak a. winter of rich effects in millinery This is borne out by the trimmings of fur. and of flowers made of silk materials. many of thea. covered with metallic gauges. Cut steel ornaments and those of 5eadwork are to e -en in all authoritative displays. The most beautiful of fancy feathers and the richest of ostrich plumage testify to the advance in taste which demands them in all parts of the country

The velvet is shirred over the frame. and the exquisite making of this hat pro- claims the work of a trained profes- sional.
