" After that foarful moment of silent hor

eyes aloft again I saw that boy bobbing up
and down 6u the top of that powerful stream
liko a danciug.ball in a Bowery shooting,
gallery. Quick wits and steady hands saved
the boy. The flro ehief directed that the
water be turned off slowly and steadily,
and in this way the youngster was lowered
littlo by littlo till ho was about on a level
with the tops of tho buildings. Of course,
it would bo sheer death to attempt to lower
him to the ground this way, ad tho . stream is
not so steady as the foroo fa lessened. Other
methods wero necessary, and the boy was
kept bobbing up and down in mid
air for a full minuto longer, wbilo the
firemen thought of another remedy. Then a
truck with a rovolving ladder was sent for,
tho ladder was run up alongside the stream,
and Assistant Charlie Margison, of Engino
No. 21, who chanced to be over thero, ran
up the ladder to its top, whioh was
about even with tho top of tho stroamj
Sicked tho boy off and brought him down
io ladder in safety and placed him in the
arms of his mother, who had fought her way
through tho crowd and bad been wringing
her bands in on agony of grief. The woman
dropped in a deaa faint, but the boy was all
right, but a bunch of cigarettes the boy had
in his trousers pocket wero bo wot that he
couldn't smoke them."
A good deal of " reaction" was required to
restore the equilibrium of Col. Oohiltree's
hearers after this story, but presently the
fisherman of the party remarked that ha had
had a remarkable experience on bis last fish.
Ing trip. Said he : I was fishing on a little
Sond in the Borkshire last year, and by a sud
on lurch of my skiff o bottle of medicine
from which I was just taking a dose
to keep off chills or sunstroke, I forget
whlch;was ierked out of my .bond into the
water. Well, I dropped my line in about the
same spot tho other day. Luck hadn't been
flattering, but presently 1 got a bite and I
began to haul in what pulled so hard that I
thought perhaps I hod caught a snag. I
pulled her up and what do you think it
was?"
" Your old jug I That's too old " growled
some one.
" Yes. it was my old lug, but there was a
fish inside, as I found when I took the bottle
to get my nook out a nice, big, fat fellow.
He was a good deal biggor than Iho mouth of
the bottle and he must have got into it
shortly after I dropped it, and grew bo big he
couldn't get out. But the most curious thing
about it is yet to be told. Gentlemen, on my
honor as a fisherman, that fish was drunk I
There was some of tho medicine still in the
bottle, too."
This statement was 'greotod with incredu
lous "awsl" but the voracious disciple of
Izaak Walton continued, " I aocount for this
fact in thla wayi You see, confined in that
bottle the fish would have died for look of
sustenance. He might have got out if he
hadn't got muddled on tho contents. He got
staving drunk and was on a Bproe so long
that he got bloated so he couldn't get out
through the neck of the bottle. But his nose
was ptobably above the liquor. Then he be
gan to grow, and as he grew and filled more
spaco in the bottle, he crowded the whiskey
up just enough so that he could get at it. and
in that way he kept himself comfortably
drunk for a wholo year, and there was
enough liquor left to last him another
year."
As proof of the truth of this narrative,
several doses of the veritable medicine were
brought on, and doubters were converted.
but carelessness, though to bo sure that is no
excuse."
" I will make it one," she said, smiling so
sweetly up at him that he would have been
curiously constituted, indeed, had he not
stooped and kissed her lips; "you have been
pampered and petted, dear reared in the lap
of luxury, with a Fortunatus purse in the
porson of your uncle. I think, dear, it is a
wonder vou are not more spoilt than you are.
Shall we go to tho others now they will bo

So, slowly, with lagging, unwilling foot,

pausing often under pretence of examining
some flower, to make the sweet time spent
together longori but the longest journey

One bit of good news comes with tho pros

is very likely in fact, it is olmost certain
that Mr. Ford will bo ono of tho New York
Athlctio Club's champion team that will bo
sent to England next year.
It is not generally known, but it is never,
theless truo, that the New York Athlctio
Club is going to send a strong Cold and track
team to England early noxt summer to see
whether Cnclo Sam's boys aron't as much
cleverer than John Bull's younglings aahoro

include Joo Quockbornor, W. J. M. Barry,
E. O. Carter, Aleck Jordan, G. Y. Gilbert,
Baxter, tho polo vaultcr; 0. E. Hmith, and
other strong men with fine rooords. It will
be a wiso move to havo Malcolm W. Ford in
that team. He easily won tho all-round ath.

clubs tried to kill him off with charges of
professionalism. Just as likoly as not, tho

warmly was not only the club's heaven-born
love of justioe, but their canny desire to havo
tho best all-round man in America in their
British army of invasion. It was not that
they loved Malcolm less, but that they lovod
championships more. Aleck Jordan won tho
American championship when Ford, was tem.
norarily out of athletics, still the chances aro
that tho N. Y. A. O. will send both to Albion
on much the same principle that the Dwyer
Brothers often have two livoly colts in the

who refused to fight Fallon becauso tho lat

an object for him to leave his saloon busi.

who was on here, went back to Boston to-day

The curtains had been drawn across the win.
dow whioh led into the garden there were no
shutters. JUe parted tho curtains, looked out
at the moonlight sceno ; then making suro
that no one was looking, pushed baok tho
latoh and removed the screw.
" A lovely night," he said, coming back to
tho others; "wo shall havo a glorious drivo

Tbe good-byes wero said; tho. Earl, tho
Countess, Marv and Bruce went inside tho
carriage, Mr. Foster preferring the outside.
However, before they had gone much beyond
the drive of the Hollies, he stepped down,
telling the coachman be should walk.

WALKING, PP BROADWAY.

and llehavo Out of noon.
Wnlking'up Broadway tho other day in tho
company of a dainty littlo lady who is
extremely partial to that thoroughfare bo.
tuecn tho hours of 11 and 3, I could
uot holp fooling rather surprtenl at tho enor
mous interest alio developed in actors and
artresses, and tho vast amount of information
sho posHOKSod about them.
"Oh," sho said scornfully, look In at n dark
window and settling her rofractory wind
tossed bangs, "most girls nowadays aro mad
on tho subject of tho stage. I could namo
soveral sooiety girls who read the dramatio
papers weekly, and can tell at a momout's
notloo exactly whoro uu actor is at a given
timo."
Sho laughed and stopped to look at a photo
crrapher's window. Who uas soon gazing at
Kyrlo Bellow, elaborately done up, with a
wistful, utter look In his always pcnalvo eyes,
and a rufllod shirt front that would havotfono
oredlt to any Troy laundry In the city,
"I don't admire him," sho Raid sharply.
" Ho's too effomlnato. Some girls rave about
his perfection. Bah I" fllah is not elegant,
but it is useful as a climax occasionally.)
" Como up Broadway as far as Thirteenth
stroot," bbo continued, " and I'll point vou
out my beau ideal. Ho's always out at Ibis
time."
" Thore's John A. Mackay," sho said, as wo
passed tho Hoffman Houso. "No, ho's not
a beauty, but thoro's something very pleasant
about him, don't you know. Girls I know
would givo a fortuno if thoy had hair of tho
same tint as his. It's very mro, indocd that
ruddy chestnut hue. I mustn't lot him seo
mo looking at bun," sho went on. "Actors
ore insufferably conceited. They think all
girls aro hopelessly impressed by thoir
charms.
" There's Ada Kenan across tho stroot,"
sho oxolaimod, nudging mo with extreme
vehomonoo. "Doesn't sho dross terribly?
I'vo novcr mot that woman without Booing all
tho colors of tho rainbow about her co9tumo.
Sho has tho most odious tasto. They say."
sinking hor voice to a whisper, "that it is
ouly Daly's oxqulsite ideas on dress that save
her from frightening her audicnoes.
" Ah," as wo passed tho St. James; " I
know wo should seo him soon. Who? Herbert
Kelcoy, of course, formerly of tho Madison
Bquaro Theatre, and my beau Ideal. I think
him grand tall, shapely, quietly but olo
gantly dressed, and so unconscious of any of
his merits. Guess who nearly always accom
panies him in his walks. You'll novcr guess,
so I may as woll tell you t Miss CaroUuo
Hill, bis wife."
I was astonished. Sho intended I should
bo.
" Yes," sho resumed, " strange as it is that
an actor should walk out with his own wifo
when thoro ore so many othor people's wives
knocking about, it is nevertheless quite truo,
I assure you. Thoso two aro always out.
Kelcoy never glances at any of us. I'vo tried
awfully hard to mako him look at mo don't
let this go any further but I have failed. I
don't boliovo ho'd notice me if oven I
whistled. Lucky Miss Oorollno Hill I
" Yes, that's Dixey" she said presently as
wo passed tho Bijou, "how any ono can
admlro him, I don't know. Ho fatigues me.
He's always talking with that samo group of
unshaven mon outside the theatre that is
whon he's in town, or anywhere near town.
Hasn't he a vacant expression In his eyes?
If you see him a month nonce, don't forget to
notice his fur-trimmed overcoat. Ho always
wears ono.
" Look at that dear littlo Mrs. Agnes Booth
getting out of that Broadway car. I think sho
is perfection. They say she is ono of tho
few women on the Btage who havo a good
word to say for their sister actresses. Yon
know they are a fearfully jealous lot. You
remember the matineo Borah Bernhardt gavo
to the profession tho lost timo she was hero ?
When it was over, a group of actors and
actresses stood picking the performance to
pieces when Mrs, Booth came up, "What did
you think of it ?' they aakod her. ' Oh,' Kho
said, ' I dou't beliove I'll ever go on the stage
again. After seeing that woman. I'm con
vinced that wo none of us know what acting
means.' You should havo seen their faces.
No; I didn't see them, but woll, never you
mind.
" Ah," she said, n few minutes later wo
had turned back and were opposite Dolmon
ico's. " Thero's Kyrle Bellew sitting in that
window, partaking of a frugal repast, whoro
passers-by can seo him. He makes mo smile.
That man sees every glance sent in his direc
tion, though he pretends he dou't Don't
talk to me of Kyrle Bellow. I can't enduro him
positively I can't. Ho doesn't begin to com
pare with Herbert Keloey."
" Poor Lillian llussell 1" continued my vol
uble friend as we passed that portly lady at
tired as surely Solomon or rather ono of
Solomon's wivorl In all her glory, could nttor
havo been attircu. " Sho's very overdressed,
ain't sho ? Look at her hair I Have you ever
known such a poisonous yellow tint to bo
natural 1 1 never did. I feolsorry for Lillian.
Sho had at one time such brilliant prospects,
and nobody marred them but herself. Sho
lives in first-olass.stylo in a sixty-dollar-a.
month flat, with Tier baby, a capital cook
and a nurse. I don't envy her" this with a
beautiful sigh.
" There's John Drew oh, yes, you must
see him. Look for a nosa and you can't
mistake him. I admlro John Drew's noso.
It shows character, and I do like that in a
man's face, don't you ? John Drow is always
in a hurry and always walking away from
Daly's Theatre. Yes, you'ro right; that's old
Mrs. Gilbert walking besida him. She's a
dear old soul, really splendid on tho stago.
They say sho's pious and nice and a regular
attendant at tho Madison Avenuo Congre
gational Church.
" And now." stopping in front of a mil
liner's store, " I must go. I've got purchases
to moke. I liko your impertinence I As
though I should tell you what thoy aro I No,

were so happy here. Aro you not feeling
well, dear?''
"No," ho answered, "I am worried. I
have a trouble on me now that I cannot share
with any one."
Sho put her arms round his neck and laid
her soft cheek to his.
" Not even with me, papa?"
" My darling, no, least of nil with yon."
Tho wind sighed round tho houso and tho
window creaked.
" But tho trouble will pass, dear."
" I hope so, little ono I trust so. Thero
was something I wished to say to you ah,
yes! do not get too friendly with that Mr.
Foster. I mistrust him. And, child, when
you find your album, do not givo it him to
write in; and do not tell him tho names of
those who are already there bo pollto, but
distant to him. And now, good-night, my
darling."
" Aro you not going to bed,? "
"Not yet, lovo."
Sho kissed her father, half crossed the
room, then came back again.
" I have something to tell you," sho said,
standing behind him with her hands upon'his
shoulders; "it will please you to know, I
think, Lord Bruce loves mo; he has niked mo
to be his wifo."
A look almost ot fear crossed Max's faco;
she did not see It. He put up his hands and
drow hers round his neck.
"And you, darling? " he said.
" I am glad ho loves me," sho answered.
" Will you not soy that you are glad also ? I
Cromlsed Bruce I would tell you to-night ;
o will speak with you to-morrow."
" Do fails people know?"
" Yes they are pleased, darling." She
camo round and knelt at his side. " Say you
are pleased."
Ho took her in his arms and kissed her.
" Pleased that some one will rob me of the
light of my life, and leave me in darkness ?"
he asked, "Ah! woll, lovo, I inuBt be
pleased for your sake. Good-night, dear."
" Say, God bless yon,' father.7'
He hesitated a moment and grew pale.
"God bless and keep you," ho said,
huskily. " Go now, love, I iiavo something
to do."
"Writing, dear?"
"Yes,dearr-wrlting."

During past winters the cruisers fitted up
what thoy called Marmnlado Lodge, at Wert
Brighton. 8. I., nnd spent Saturday nights
and Sundays thoro, spinning soa yarns and
cruising about In their canoes. They did
their own cooking and slept in blankets on
tho floor. It la expected that a room at tho
club-houso at Tompkinsville will be fitted up
for tho uso ot tho wintor cruisers this year.
In theso cold weather trips O. Bowyor
Vaux, winner of innumerable trophies at iho
annual meets of the American Canoo Associa
tion, is n leading spirit. He Is always ready
for anything from a friendly race to a long
orulso at midnight. E. 0. Delaan, Jr., tolls
a story capitally, and sails a canoe better.
Charles J. Stevens, Secretary of the club,
deserts the winter cruisers onco in a while to
tramp over tho Staten Island hills on snow
shoes. W. P. Stephens, who has deslgnod
many fast canoes, oomos in strong as an ama
teur cook for the winter cruisers. His
services are always very much in demand.
Col. Charles Ledyard Norton, an authority
on tbo literature of canoeing, bolps to keep,
things moving when he has timo to visit tho
wintor quarters. Poultney Blgelow qulto
often goos down tho bay for a voyago among
theico-floes in his fast cruising canoo. It.
B. Burchard knows how to make things
livoly around the camp-flro when ho puts his
mind to it. Commodore O. K. Munroe used
to be a jolly winter orulser, but now he
spends tho cold weather months In Florida
writing interesting books for boys.
The English champions did not come over
to America this year to capture the interna,
tional challenge cups. The lamentable failure
of last year mado them cautious. L. W.
Heavy, who clings to the ancient Indian birch
bark canoo with a heroism worthy a better
but less pioturesquo cause, thinks that tho
Englishmen ore learning to handle their
canoes In tho American style, so that whon
they got perfect in it thoy can come over hero
and win a boat load of silverware. This view
of tho cake 1 strengthened by the fact that
the Englishmen have built no end of canoes
on tho American model this year. It is
proper to say, however, that all owners of
birch-bark canoes are prejudiced.

down the gas, lighted a lamp the wholo room

Ho oponed the album, looked slowly

closing the door after him. His coat and
hat hung in the hall; he put them on, opened
the front door, and with great care closed the
door after; then ho talked quickly down the
drivo.
Half an hour later Mr. Foster stepped into
tho drawing-room, struck a matoh and
lighted a candle, stepped to the cablnot,
opened it and took out Honor's album.
Next he put his band in his pocket and
drew out a leather case. From this he took a
paper with a number of names written upon
it: then ho slowly turned the pages of the
album, placing a cross against dlneront names
on the paper nntil all were so marked; the
last name on tho paper and tho last in tho

Mr. Foster got up from the tablo, stretched
himself and smiled. , , ,
