JESS
By Martha
McCulloch- XVilliamt
.OnntriQhU l'M3, tw T. C. McClure.
.: , ■, H
Jess was churning down at the
spring house and singing like a lark
the while. Her pink calico frock was
turned up high in front, so high her
feet were plainly visible—pretty feet
enough, in spite of the scuffed shoes,
smallish, well arched and light step
ping, to say nothing of the slender
ankles above them. The ankles match
ed taper wrists, but gave no hint of
the dimple swelling arms revealed by
sleeves rolled halfway to the shoulder.
Rig, soft, new leafage Hung down
variable shadows on her bare head.
She kept the dasher moving merrily,
now and again patting one foot in
time to it. Her voice, if untrained, was
clear and not too loud—altogether, the
man coming down the creekside in
high wading boots, with a rod in his
hand, a creel slung from his shoulder,
would have been justified in finding
himself glad of her presence.
He was distinctly not glad —cur
mudgeonly fellow! He had been whip
ping the stream for trout since sunrise
with no luck at all. All his hope was
centered upon the cool, deep hole just
below the spring house. He knew the
stream of old, and that particular
reach of it had never yet failed to give
him good sport Why must this crea
ture go spoil his chances with her idiot
ic trilling? Kish had sensitive ears—
he was certain of it. Nothing would
rise to the most tempting lure after
such affronting of the auricular sense.
“George, I wish she was in—Halifax!”
he said to himself as he prepared, rath
er hopelessly, for a cast. He had hard
ly looked toward the singer—besides
Robin Adiar, with an accompaniment
of whisking, buttermilk rather got on
ids nerves. As the song kept up he
called over his shoulder. In anything
but an amiable voice:
“Madam, I will pay you double price
for tbe butter you are churning if you
will go away until afternoon and let
me fish in peace.”
"Indeed you wont! Jess retorted,
with the least toss of the head. "’Tend
to your own business, Mr. Fisherman.
I promise you I’ll ’tend strictly to
mine. Buy my butter, indeed! Sup
pose I don’t want to sell tt? And I
don’t. It's going into cake for the pic
nic tomorrow.”
The fisherman, Allan Beckley by
name, scowled at his image in the wa
ter and swore—under his breath. He
knew landmarks and land lines there
about—this noisy girl must belong to
the people who had bought his uncle’s
place. Vaguely he recalled the name—
Wilmot. Wilmot possessions came
right down to the water's edge, albeit
the stream proper belonged to old
Squire Bass, from whom he hud leased
exclusive fishing privilege. The churn
er was clearly upon her own ground,
therefore unassailable. In high bad
humor he splashed across the pool
head and sent his fly spinning out In a
tremendous cast from the opposite
bank, although by all rules of angling
the place was hopeless.
It must have been a day for the
traversing of art and rule. The fly
was hardly settled before, with a vig
orous upswlrling rush, a monster trout
took it. For the next ten minutes Al
lan Beckley was conscious of nothing
but Ills quarry. The quarry was game
and wary us ever rose to a fly. Up,
down, athwart stream he darted, dlv
ing, plunging, now and again leaping
clear of the water, coming with such a
rush bankward the singing reel could
not. take up the slack, wheeling to bore
headfirst against the rocky bottom so
strongly the pliant rod tip bent almost
double. The fisherman stood just be
low a high shelving bank. He would
have plunged in the water but that
there was no good foothold. Cautious
ly, with nice judgment and sportsman
skill, he played his catch. It was one
to rejoice In the giant of all trout in
Clear creek. Five pounds at the very
least. Idly he began to speculate if It
might not be the same wily fellow who
had so often outwitted him when lie
was a native stripling. His ill humor
evaporated magically. He was at
peace with himself and the world.
me trout was weakening. Though
lie still fought gamely, the rushes were
less electric. In live minutes more—in
three—in one—with a long steady
pressure he drew the lighting creature
to the hunk, shifted his rod deftly and
made to slip the landing net under
neath. And then—and then! Some
thing gave way under and beldnd
him. With a huge splash he went
down into four feet of water, with a
ton of loosened rook at his back. lie
liung out his arms to save himself.
The trout, ns the line slacked, dashed
madly away and went to the bottom
upon the farther side. But he could
not break loose the hook nor instantly
chafe the. line In two against the bot
tom. There was still a bare chance
of him. Beckley, bruised and shaken
though he was, tried to turn about,
snatch his rod and tight the battle to
the bitter end.
lie could not do it. Somehow the
fulling rocks had jammed his feet
Into a crevice of the bottom, beyond
his power to pull them out. He tug
ged and strained and swore, this time
audibly, for some minutes. He was
not in the least hurt. Uls foot had
room u-plenty in their rocky channel,
but he could not get thorn out until
the stone was moved from over It.
He had forgotten the girl, singing and
churning at the spring house, but re
membered her now, noting both
sounds had ceased. He was on tha
point of calling to her when he caught
a Hash of pink on the farther bank
and beard her say with sparkling
malice: “How do you Uk« it, gettln’
caught yourself? Ain’t you ready to
cry quits with the big trout?”
“How do you know I sought thruY'
Beckley retorted. The girl shrugged
her shoulders the least hit. “1 wuloh
ed you—to wish you had luck—you
were so rude,” she said. And aa she
said it he noted that neither accent
nor intonation was rustic. He looked
at her appealingly. “I was rude—a
perfect brute," he said. “Ho please
‘ rgivo me und go fetch somebody to
1 '. lp me out of this.”
“i’ll help you out myself on two
conditions,” Jess said, dimpling beau
tifully. Beckley homed vMtukis. “Uulv
name them," lie said. “The first is—
cut your line,” Jess retorted promptly.
“The big trout is a friend of mine.
I’ve fed him now and again ever since
we came here.”
“Henceforth he is sacred,” Beckley
said, slashing his line anti tossing the
rod away. “Now for condition sec
ond.”
“You shall lir.'ir that when you're out
of the woods—and water,” Jess an
swered, dimpling again. In a whiff she
had to run to a foot log a little way up
stream, crossed it and was beside
Beckley, a stout fence stake in her
hand. "Get a good purchase with it
and push the rock down str:v,::i,” she
commanded. “The current will help
you if it is slow here in the pool. Now!
Ail together! There. It’s over. You
can come out or stay in. as you choose.
Be careful, though, if you stand on this
side to fish the bluff is ail honey
combed with water veins since last
winter. The next landslip may be
heavy enough to bury you.”
“There will be no next landslip with
me around,” Beckley said, scrambling
out. “I ought to have known better
without telling. You see, I grew up
less than three miles from where we
stand. So I have guessed your name.
Miss Wilmot, do please accept my
thanks, my humblest apologies, i be
lieve, too, you said something about a
condition. I am waiting very impa
tiently to hear It."
“It’s horribly hard for a man who
likes to fish.” Jess said, her eyes danc
ing. “Because it is this, you must go
to our picnic and be, oh, wonderfully
civil to us country folk!”
“I shall be more than civil, abject,
to some among the country folk,”
Beckley said, holding out his hand.
Jess laid her pink palm, slightly hard
ened by steady churning, in his clasp
and said gayly, "If you try to run
away from your bargain you’ll take
along all the bad luck I wished you.”
*******
Allen Beckley did not run away. In
fact, he was the life of the picnic.
And. strange to relate, he lost interest
in fishing, although he stayed in his
home county a matter of six weeks,
lie did not leave it indeed until he was
able to take a wife away with him.
Her first name is Jess, and she is
proud to tell that she can make beauti
ful butter.
Professional Swearer.
A man leaped from a ear In tlie ele
vated station, ran at tlie swinging
doors and butted them open with his
suit ease and tore down through the
passenger shoot into tlie Union depot.
He took the stairway in a few jumps,
nearly knocked down several men as
he rushed through the waiting room
and reached the platform in time to see
the rear end of his train disappearing
around the curve at Itluff street. Then
he halted, tlie suit case dropped to the
floor, he took off his hat, wiped tiis
forehead and began to swear loudly.
Just then one of tlie depot passen
ger directors stepped up to him and
said:
“We have u man to do that, sir.”
“To do what?”
“To do the swearing for people who
miss trains. There’s so much of it to
do here that^ve’ve hired an old switch
man to do the swearing for ’em all.”
The man looked fop a minute as if lie
would light. Hut he said nothing. He
quietly picked up his suit, case and
walked back into tlie depot.- Kansas

The Important Comma.
A Philadelphia business man thinks
he has an exceedingly bright office lioy,
and nothing pleases him better, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph, than to
tell how he acquired the youngster’s
services. A short time ago lie posted
in his shop window a notice which read
as follows: “Boy wanted about four
teen years.” A lad of that age, with
little that was prepossessing in his ap
pearance, came into llie office and
stated that lie had read the notice.
"Well, do you think you would like
to have the position, my boy?” asked
the merchant, gazing patronizingly
over tlie rims of liis spectacles at tlie
unabashed youth.
"Yes,” came the prompt answer, ”1
want tlie job, but I don't know that I
can promise to keep it for the full
fourteen years.”
Then the merchant remembered that
he had left out a comma on ills sign,
but he told the hoy he might have the
position.
Tin- Mudfish.
One of the most remarkable of fishes
Is the mudfish, which inhabits certain
of the rivers of western Africa and, as
Its name implies, lurks at the bottom
of these rivers. In that region the riv
ers are liable to periodical droughts.
'When such a drought Ls imminent, the
fish retires to deep water and exca
vates a pit, In which it lies, covering
Itself over with a thick layer of mud.
it can then bear with impunity the
complete drying up of the river. Hut
the most interesting fact about the
creature is that during the time of its
voluntary imprisonment It breathes air
llreetly through an aperture left in
the cocoon by means of lungs just like
a luud animal. When the returning
rains dissolve the mud and liberate the
fish, it breathes by means of gills. Just
nke any other fish._

The War Russell tame Paid a Doc
tor Who lletaaed a Fee.
A former Baltimorean who was a
dose frieud of a Philadelphia physician
whose specialty was kidney diseases
related tbs following aa the method by
which Kueeell Sage paid the doctor a
bill:
The physician wm ou a visit to a
friend in New York. Mr. Sage was
very U1 at Ms home from a diseased
kidney. Hearing that the Philadelphia
dooter was la New York, Mr. Sage re
quested him to eall. The doctor dkl so,

handed the doctor, who declined it.

violable rule of confining hie practice

ally unable to get to hie uolce he uever
accepted pay ter hie eerviuee.
liming hU visits to Mr. Sage's home
the dooter was accompanied by his
daughter, a winsome miss sf tan years.
About a meeth after the occurrence the
doctor’s little daughter received a tele
gram from a Wall street broker which
read: “-»v ""l“r of,,Mr, UigwuM Baas- •
olive bougut' tor your account -
shares of- stock.” As soon as the
doctor rend the dispatch he hurried to
a Philadelphia friend, who was a bro
ker, and ordered him to buy-shares
of the stock mentioned for his (the doc
tor’s) account. The stock fluctuated,
and when it was selling at a price
which would pay a good profit the
broker advised the doctor to sell, but
the doctor did not take the advice.
Later a dispatch came from the New
I York broker to the little girl. It read:
“Have sold for your account-shares
of-stock.” The doctor immediately
unloaded his holdings. These transac
j tions were repeated several times and
! not only made the doctor a small for
■ tune, but won for him a reputation as
a shrewd financier. A final telegram
j came from New York for the little girl:
“Have closed out your holdings and
mail you a check for - thousands.”
The doctor unloaded and dropped out
of the stock market as suddenly as he
had entered it, much to the mystifica
tion of his broker and friends, who had
heard of his successes, but never knew
whether to attribute them to a “Henri
etta” luck or to careful study of the
stock dealt in.—Baltimore Sun.
CURrOSHILij or SOUND.
Every Nolee Has Its Cori'eavoiullas
Note on the Musical Seale.
In very high or mountainous regions
sounds become diminished in loudness
so that a conversation cannot be car
ried on in an ordinary tone of voice.
In mines or in a diving bell the re
verse of this is the case. Ojlpeech be
comes so startling that it must be car
ried on in whispers to be at all en
durable to the ear. Sounds of all
kinds become musical if the vibrations
of air are uniform and rapid enough.
It is said that the puffs of an engine
would make a tremendous organ peal
of music if they couid be made to at
tain the rapidity of fifty or sixty a sec
ond. Everything in nature has its key
note, as it were, and attuned to one
particular musical sound. This fact
can be very easily verified in everyday
life. Stand near an open piano and
speak in an ordinary tone. While
speaking you will suddenly hear a
string within reverberate to your voice.
The tick of a watch, the sound of ev
ery human voice, the bark of a dog,
the mew of a cat, the noise of a wagon,
the roll of thunder, the fall of rain,
the running of water—in fact, every
thing about us can easily be placed by
an attentive ear on its proper musical
note, one of the sounds of the scale.
This is a most interesting experiment
and easily verified.
It is said that the ear cun distin
guish eleven octaves of sound; but, as
u rule, those made by quick, short vi
brations are more easily conveyed.
For instance, the whir of a locust
makes a more distinct impression than
the sighing of the wind through the
trees. A whirlwind in its approach is
noiseless, it is only when it strikes
some obstacle that the volume of sound
becomes terrific to us. Then we re
ceive the secondary shorter waves from
the destruction of this obstacle. Tyn
dall says all friction is rhythmic.
Flames are notoriously sensitive to
sound. They will bend and flicker and
even respond with a leap of quivering
light to a high, shrill sound. This is
another interesting experiment. If we
use a glass lube with a small jet of
gas, by lowering or raising it to cer
tain points we cun cause it to shriek
out shrilly or to answer sympathetical
ly to its owu keynote when sung or
spoken by the voice.
If we could only hear the roll of the
vast oceans in harmony all around us
In our everyday life, we could say
with truth, indeed, what the poet only
imagined:
“There’s not the smallest orb which
thou beholdest but in its orbit like an
angel sings, still qutring to the young
eyed cherubim.”—Baltimore American.
The Slieiiliertl mid Ilia Flock.
A certain good bishop was in Italy
for his health, and while walking in
the country one day he met a small
girl who was tending, some pigs. The
animals were giving her a great deal
of trouble, and the good bishop offered
to stay and watch the ones that were
grunting and rooting in a ditch while
the little shepherdess went to catch
two runaways that had strayed from
the fold. When she came back, the
reverend gentleman stroked the un
kempt curly head of the child and ask
ed her how much she earned by her
hard work and was told that she re
ceived 4 soldi a day.
“Do you know,” said he, "that I, too,
am a shepherd? But I earn much more
than you.”
“All, yes,” answered the little peas
ant, “but, no doubt, you tend many
more pigs than I do.”

A HOESE IN BATTLE
HOW ME FEELS WHEN IN THE MIDST
OF A FIERCE ONSLAUGHT.
A Writer of Horae Stories- Describes
tbe experiences of an Arab Cliar
ger In the Ranks of Stuart's Cav
alry—The Gallop to Battle.
Probabty no one will ever know just
how a horse feels when going into bat
tle. There is no way of finding out.
So it is likely that no one will dispute
1 the correctness of the description which
| Sewell Ford gives in “Horses Nine,”
published by Scribners.
The horse in question is Pasha, a
half blood Arab hunter that has been
pressed into service in Stuart's Black
Horse cavalry. The story runs:
Early the next morning Pasha was
awakened by the distant growl of
heavy guns. By daylight he was on
the move, thousands of other horses
with him. Nearer and nearer they
rode to the place where the guns were
growling. Sometimes they were on
roads, sometimes they crossed fields,
and again they plunged into the woods
where the low branches struck one’s
eyes and scratched one's flanks. At
last they broke clear of the trees to
come suddenly upon such a scene as
Pasha had never before witnessed.
Far across tbe open field he could
see troop on troop of horses coming to
ward him. They seemed to be pour
ing over the crest of a low hill, as if
driven onward by some unseen force
behind. Instantly Pasha heard, rising
from the throats of thousands of rid
ers on either side and behind him, that
fierce, wild yell which he had come to
know meant the approach of trouble.
High and shrill and menacing it rang
as it was taken up and repeated by
those in the rear. Next tbe bugles be
gan to sound, and in quick obedience
the horses formed in line just on the
edge of the woods, a line which stretch
ed and stretched on either flank until
one could hardly see where it ended.
From the distant line came no an
swering cry, but Pasha could hear tbe
bugles blowing, and be could see tbe
fronts massing. Then came tbe order
to charge at a gallop. This set Pasha
to tugging eagerly at the bit, but for
what reason he did not know. He
knew only that he was part of a great
and solid line of men and horses sweep
ing furiously across a field toward that
other line which he bad seen pouring
over the hill crest.
He could scarcely see at an now.
The thousands of hoofs had raised a
cloud of dust that not only enveloped
the on rushing line, but rolled before j
it. Nor could Pasha hear anything
save the thunderous thud of many
feet. Even the shrieking of the shells
wall drowned. But for the restraining
bit Pasha would have leaped forward
and cleared the line. Never had he
been so stirred. The inherited mem
ory of countless desert raids made by
his Arab ancestors was doing its
work. For what seemed a long time
this continued, and then in the midst
of the blind and frenzied race there
loomed out of the thick air, as if it had
appeared by magic, the opposing line.
Pasha caught a glimpse of something
which seemed like a heaving wall of
tossing heads and of foam whitened
necks and shoulders. Here and there
gleamed red, distended nostrils and
straining eyes. Bending above was an
other wall—a wall of dusty blue coats,
of grim faces and of dust powdered
hats. Bristling above all was a threat
ening crest of waving blades.
What would happen when the lines
met? Almost before the query was
thought there came the answer. With
an earth jarring crash they came to
gether. The lines wavered back from
the shock of impact, and then the
whole struggle appeared to Pasha to
center about him. Of course this was
not so. But it was a fact that the most
conspicuous figure in either line hud
been that of the cream white charger
in the very center of the Black Horse
regiment.
How Not to Get Old.
Once upon a time a young man who
had a dread of growing old and having
to give up the pleasures of youth
preached the doctrine of good compan
ionship and jolly living.
‘‘Eat, drink and be merry,” he said.
"Seek gay companions and let wine
and soug keep your blood in motion,
and you will uever kuow what it is to
be old.”
He followed his own counsel and
died in his youth.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR,
Prayer Hrefis* Toylr for the Weetr
Beginning April 24.
Topic.—What Christ can do tor "dark
est Africa.’’—Isa. xlv, 11-lSi
The problem before Christian mis
sions in Africa is a tremendously great
one. This can be fully realized by a
glance at some of the characteristics
of the dark continent.
| 1. The size of the continent makes its
I evangelization a great problem. “Af
| rica is ninety times the size of Great
) Britain, over fifty times that of France
or Germany, over five and a half times
that of the United States, excluding
Alaska, and over three times us large
as all Europe.” in these facts we find
one proof of the great problem before
us.
2. The greatness of the population
adds to the difficulties. According tc
the most recent estimates the. total
population of Africa is over lt>0,000,
000. When we remember the time and
labor required to Christianize the
smaller and less populated countries
of the earth we have some faint idea
of the seriousness of the task when
from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000 of peo
ple are involved.
3. The character of the people, the
moral, social and political conditions
in “darkest Africa,” form the most
difficult feature of the problem of
Africa’s salvation. Extent of territory
and size of population are after all
small factors if the people and condi
tions are favorable. But, alas, in
Africa, as nowhere else, are they most
unfavorable. Six different races are
distinguishable—the negro, Fulah, Ban
tu, Hottentot, Semite and Hamite,
the last two occupying the whole of
northern Africa. Outside of Chris
tianity, Mohammedanism and heath
enism prevail. Slavery and polygamy
abound among the native tribes. The
moral sense of the people is of the
very lowest order. The continent has
been partitioned among the European
nations—England, France, Germany,
Portugal, Italy and Spain. Nor has
this political supremacy been alto
gether for good. While it opens the
doors of the country to the mission
aries and affords them absolute pro
tection, yet the introduction of rum
and firearms has been the cause of in
calculable harm. The Christian people
of the world should demand that their
governments protect those over whom
they rule from danger and harm and
cease placing within their reach that
which causes their greatest destruc
tion. The moral sense of a nation that
can send a missionary and a barrel of
rum on the same vessel to a people
like those of Africa needs to be toned
up, and the people of such nations
should demand that commercialism
should not stand in the way of the
moral and spiritual, physical and men
tal elevation of any people the world
over. This done, and the cause of
missions everywhere would receive
such an impetus as it has scarcely
ever received.
The picture of Africa is a truly dark
one. Can Christ do anything for the
dark continent? Most assuredly He
can. He is the Light of the World and
came to dispel its darkness. What He
has done is a proof of whut He can do.
Civilizations in the main as low as
those of Africa have been uplifted by
the gospel of Christ. Heathenism
never prevailed under fouler condi
tions than it did in the Roman empire
in the early Christian centuries, yet
Christ conquered it. The native races
of Europe, though stronger physically
and mentally than the native Africans,
were yet savage and heathen, in some
cases offering human sacrifices to their
gods. But the world knows what
Christ did for these races. The middle
ages were conspicuous for their moral
and spiritual darkness, yet Christ
raised them to a most glorious light.
And Africa itself has felt the touch of
its Divine Master and has responded to
it. Over fifty missionary societies are
at work on the dark continent, and in
time, under the blessing of God, the
gospel will reach every nation and
tribe, and bring them out of the dark
ness of sin and superstition into the
glorious light of the Christ, the Light
of the World.
