Few people have any idea of the
rapid pace attained by some fish. The
dolphin and porpoise are perhaps the
swiftest OF all. The latter fish has
been seen to dart round and round
steamer proceeding at between sew
enteen and eighteen miles an hour.
Probably bonito "a fish Of the mack
erel family at its best could move
for some distance at 40 miles an hour.
Salmon, too, and trout swim very fast,
particularly when accomplishing their
annual spawning migration upstream.
Herrings, in shoals, move at a steady
ten or twelve miles, but mackerel
much faster. Whales, though not fish,
can swim at great speed When ex.
cited they will dash along at as much
as seventeen miles an hour, but or
dinarily four or five miles an hour is
their speed. Seals, again, are much
more speedy, and certain eastern wa
ter snakes glide along at terrific We
locities.

THE fluid SOUL
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

Dan Nevens, roofing a one-story
garage, uttered a string of very repre-
hensible words as his pile of asbestos
shingles, swept by his careless elbow,
went sliding down the slant! His fell
low workman, novice at the task,
Ned Walworth, put out his foot and
halted the moving mass and re-
stored it to its rack.
Still Nevens continued to rave out his
rage perversely. A bland-faced, kind
ly-eyed old man, standing below
watching the work in process, moved
nearer. He was the owner of the
garage and the beautiful mansion and
gardens in the front Of it.
My FRIEND he said quietly, 81 see

"Whatcha mean" growled Nevens
savagely.
Just this: your soul is solid, won't

Dan, nudging his elbow contemptu-

while the people kneeling down said
Amen.

voice | heard before, said:
&c Son of the Republic, what you have

with these words the vision van
ished and started from my seat, and
felt that had seen a vision wherein
had been shown to me the birth, pro-
gress, and destiny of the United States.

you've done it," abruptly shouted
Nevens.
The young man had uttered sharp
cry. Then he held up a hand reeking
with blood. In trying to assist his
fellow workman he had swept his hand
across the keen-bladed knife used
to trim the single edges.
You'll do no more roof work for
time, I'm thinking" was the com
ment of Dan Nevens. Here, give US

Ned was pale, experiencing excru-

shock Of his injuy.

tioning Dan aside. III be all right

ground.

and he glanced at the bleeding hand
You've split one finger to the bone.
Now, then, wrap it up. You had bet

Il have no home" replied Ned, and
he flushed slightly Il mean have

"So?" murmured Mr.. Roscoe sympa-
thizingly. Well, I'm not a novice as
a surgeon. Come up to the house and
III fix you up double-Quick.
He wrapped his fine cambria hand
kerchief about the wounded hand and
took Ned's arm, as if to support him,
leading the way towards the house.
Half the distance accomplished, a serv-
ant came running up to him in a no
ticeable state of excitement.
"Oh, Mr.. Roscoe!" he shouted, the
goluen pneaSantS nave got out and

Aha, that won't dol" cried the old
man. Here" to Ned, releasing his
arm, go right on to the house ard

Ned had no thought of following
these instructions. He passed en-
through the garden, however, to reach
the street. AS he neared the porch
his eye fell upon rare vision of airi-
ness and beauty A lovely girl sat
looking over book of engravings.
She glanced up ana then she rose up,
as if some telspathic sense directed
her. She stepped to the edge Of the
veranda.

Was There With Repartee,

A country farmer was driving down
a narrow lane on his way to visit a
friend, when he espied an old woman
in the middle of the road picking up
some pieces of turf, which had evident
~ dropped from some wagon.
Pulling up his horse to prevent run

Women and donkeys are always in

Sure, sir" she said, stepping to one
side, I'm glad you've the manners to
put yourself last"

You are in pain, in trouble she
spoke in a low musical tone-'I can
see it in your eyes,
Il have met with an accident in
working on your fathers garage"
faltered Ned. He could not help but
answer the probing, earnest eyes. Mr..
Roscoe asked me to have my hand
cared for
She was down the steps in a flash.
Her soft white hand clasped his arm.
You must come with me, you must
be attended to at once
AS if a captive led in chains, for the
life of him Ned Walworth could not
resist her. 1t was all like a dream.
Entering a room, she washed his
wounded hand without CULVER of dis
taste, dressed it, all the time speak
ing in a tone like rare music, and
finally led him into the library and
to its most coy chair.
You must wait and rest-father
will be sure to want to see you. I
fear you are not much of a workman"
she said, with glance at his hands,
soft and well-formed as those of
woman.
Il shall have to become one or
starve!" he replied seriously. 81 made
G failure at literature and turned to
real labor"
She nodded to him as she was called
by someone to another part of the
house. He was feeling comfortable
now. A soothing, homelike feeling
came over him. He picked up one of
the numerous periodicals. scattered
over the table near at hand. A quick,
gratified flush crossed his face. He
read and reread an article surround
ed by heavy pencil mark. He looked
up to find Miss Roscoe in the door
way, her deep, fathomless eyes fixed
upon him.
You are pleased at something"
she said in her PRESIDENT way.
Il wrote that article" explained Ned
somewhat proudly.
oh, did you, indeed?" she cried in
a pleased way. Father, you know,
is financing a humanitarian magazine.
He was especially taken with that ar
ticle. What beautiful thoughts you
must havei"
Ned felt like one in a dream when
he went home. Mr.. Roscoe had asked
him to be sure to call the next day,
indicating that he wished to talk with
him about his literary proclivities.
But Ned Walworth did not see the
Roscoes for many a long day after
that. There was a false friend named
Bardell, who had swindled him out Of
all his savings. The man, terribly i'll,
had sent for him. The fluid sour
impetus impaired by Mr.. Roscoe sent
Ned to the stricken\ mOneyless in
crate. He nursed him for two weeks,
became i'll himself and recovered to
find himself in a hospital with Mr.. Ros-
cOe his benefactor and daily visitor,
and fully aware Of the great sacrifice
he had made. q
Those days of convalescence whei
he was a welcome visitor to the Ros-
Coe home! Oh, the renewed hope and
ambition when he found that Mr.. Ros-
oce was ready to offer him an edito-
rial position on his pet publication!
And then Lois, lCveliest of women!
She seemed to read his innermost
thoughts, and unclaimed hira. And
the fluid souls commingled, and love,
love was the impetus that sent Ned
and Lois out into the world hand in
hand, to bring their fellow creatures
