I THE ONE GIRL.
They wero standiug together out ou
tlio niooulit torrnce. Behind lliem
in tho distance sounded tbo Land,
playing soft, dreamy waltz music.
But what cared tlioy for dnnciug and
tho hot, crowdod ball room? In all
tbo world for him thoro was only --no
womnti, and nho stood, her lianas
clasped in his, her head resting ou his
bhoulder.
"You won't forgot me, darling," he
whinpored, "when I am thousands of
miles away, at tho other sido of the
world, and letters are long incoming?
You'll roiuember thnt I am oomiug
back iu two years at tho latest, to
cluiin my littlo wife."
"Oil, it can't bo really true, Geof
frey, t but you nro going to morrow?
It is too dreadful to think of! And it's
not I tiiat will forgot. I shall thiuk
of you night and day until you come
bunk. Hut you'll most likily meet
with some lovely American girl all
Anu-ricuu women are lovely, you
know and then you'll forget nil about
poor littlo Mysie Trafford, who is
wailing for you iu England."
"Wneti I am out on tho great lono
ly prairies," ho said dreamily, "I
shall just bliut my eyes and think my
self buck to this night. I bhuil hoar
tho band in tho distanoo, I shall feel
you onco moro in niy arms, and I
shall smell tho faint odor of tho helio
trope you aro wearing."
Fur answer alio took a pioco of the
heliotrope from her dress.
"Here's a iittlo bit of it," she said.
"When you meet that lovoly Ameri
can, mi I wish that you wero free, aud
that this evening had never been, then
you can put that littlo flower iu un
envelope, and you needn't write a
word to put iu with it, but just ad
dress it to nii, aud when I get it 1
shall know what it means, aud you
will bo free."
"What nonsense, Mysie!" bo said
angrily. "Why do you talk like that?
You know "
"Oh, hero you ore!" oriod a shrill
voice. "I have boon looking for you
very whore. Mr. Custleford is as
cross us ho can be, Mysio. He says
you promised hi in tho lust two dances,
aud then you disappeared and no one
could liud you J uud as for you, Mr.
Hamilton, I think yoii ha I better
keop out of tho way altogether, after
disappointing Lidy May aud goodness
knows who besides." And Gertrude,
Mysiu'd sister, chattered od, totally
unconscious that sho wag a most uu
welcome intruder
She arid Mysio bad boou taught
that it was their duty to make good
matches, and Geoffrey Hamilton, with
so mouey, and just off for Auioricn,
was so entirely ineligible that sho sus
pected nothing, and ruthlessly iusisted
ou their immediate return to the ball
room. Mysio looked often at tho littlo
hoop of pearls tho pledge of her be
trothal but never put it on, except
in her own room just for a few min
utes. Somehow as the days went by it
seemed harder to speak of that even
ing to her mother, ospoclally as her
mothor had not the faintest suspioion
of anything of tho sort. And so a
month passed away.
Theu oue evening Mysio returned
from a walk and saw a letter lyinj ou
tbo hall table. Oue glance at her own
same and the postmark "New York"
and she snatched up the letter, won
dering if any one had noticed it, then
ran up to her own room, and closed
the door to enj y it iu peace.
The fire burued brightly and looked
inviting, and she drew up a low easy
chair aud Bested herself comfortably
fi3 she broke tho scut of the envelope.
What was tho faint perfume as she
did so? She drew out a sheet of blauk
note paper from the folds of which a
little piece of dead heliotrope slipped
aud fell to the floor.
"Mvsio, you must come down,"
said Gertrude. "Mr. Castleford is
down stairs, aud mother bays you are
to come," as Mysio looked rebellious.
"But you must change your dress;

night ho hud determined to put his
fate to tho test, whilo poor Mysio,
with a paiu ut her heart, was miyiug
to herself that if Uooffroy oould forgot
so easily, why, so oould she.
And so it curao about that a few
hours later bho returned to her room,
having pledged herself to Herbert

Sis months had passed and Herbert
Custleford was pressing for an early
marriage. Mysio nud her mothor had
gone nway from home imniudiutely
uftor her becoming engaged. Mysio
complaiuod of tho cold and looked so
delicato that her mothor took hor to
tho south of France, where, soon uftor,
Custleford followed them.
Mysie scorned willing that the wed
diug should take placo wheuever thoy
liked to arrungn it, so matters wero
being pushed to suit III J iuipatiout
lover, who u ono day Gertrude ran into
tho room where Mysie and Herbert
wero sitting.
"Look, Mysie 1" she cried. "Here
is a lovoly buuch of flowers front that

ihoy aro such beauties! Only hiuoII
them! Oh, I am so pleased! Look!
Hero are a bit of heliotrope and some
maidenhair Unit will just do for you."
T. hor surpriso Mysio turned pulo
and tibrauk buok, lookiug almobt
appoalingly at ber lover, who was
watching her.
As their eyes met there waa some
thing in his uu expression, u con
sciousness, a what? Mysie did not
know, but a great trembling Boized
hor. A hundred thoughts seemed to
puss through her mind iu a moment,
but of ou'j thing, bho was certain
Herbert Castleford kuevv nil about
tboso playful, loving words spoken
out on tho terrace ou tho nevor-to-bo-forgotten

Then, lrauing forward, sho asked,
ns if they hud already boou speaking
to euch other :
"How did you send it from New
York?"
"I that is what do you nioau,
Mysio? I never sent ill"
Seeing that hor clear eyes seemed
to read him through, ho attempted no
moro denial, but just caught her
huuds iu his aud implored ber to for
give him.
"I came out to look for you that
night," ho said, "aud I heard what
you were 6iying just as Gertrude
came upou you from the other side,
and it was such a temptation, for I
loved you dearly much better thau
he did. It was all done for lovo of
you, Mysie."
Sho tried to wave hiiu away, but in
stead fell fainting to the grouud.
W hen she recovered Herbert Custle
ford had gone. A fow huaty liuos from
tiiiu besought ber forgivouoss.and told
her Geoffrey was now ou his way back
t Euglaud to find out why bho had
not written to him ; that he hoped they
would have been married before Geof
frey could arrive, but that now ho
would go away aud never trouble ber
again.
"You will forgive me, G.'offrey,

"Aud hero is tho flower you gave

FISHING WITHOUT HOOK AND LINE.
Boys, I urn going to tell you a
story, and no doubt many of you will
1) inolined to think that there is more
story than lish in it. Nevertheless,
tho fish were thero mid caught, and
many huudiods and buudi eds of thrm
yi's, real iivo ones nilhout book,
line, net, or cvcti tho so-called "6)lvci
nook" sometimes used by fishermen in
h n d luek. All you bad to do was lo
get a move on you nnd pick th m up
from tho beach. It occurred Ht Coney
Island, that famous watering place,
nud iu this nay.
You remember having rend or heard
of that severe storm that ragod along
the At anliu coast, and wi:iehdidso
much duma.ro tho latter part of No
vember. Well, it was just after and
during tho several weeks followiug
that tho lish were caught.
It was early ouo afternoon, a few
days utter the storm, Unit I boarded a
tram for the islaud to look ut tho
damage done by the storm nt this
piaoo. By tbo lime I was ready to re
turn homo again it had already be
oome dark. I concluded lo return by
another loud, uud an I strolled along
tho beach, as many others w.-re doing,
watching tlio big breakers count roil
ing in. I sa.v a mm rush totuo water's
edge and pick up bouieihing aud has
tily retreat again, u big breaker fol
lowing close to his heels. As 1 drew
near to whom ho stood, I saw that ho
had a largo 1UI, bill! wriggling to got
away. I said that was a pretty
easy way of catching tisli, when ho in
formed mo that it was, and that it was
tho first ono that lie Lad caught.
I p issed on, uud again saw another
man rush for tho water and pick up
something, and hurrying to where ho
was, saw that ho too had ei. .tglit a flue
fish. I oould not help but Innh
aloud wheu I saw this and still anotnor
picked up. The thought now btruck
mo that thie was Tiaily tho first good
tidiiug I bad ever wUu-j-sjd or taken
part in.
Full of exc't.- nieiit aud determined,
to try my skill at rushing, I walked on
a ft-w feet further and ttopped to
watcU a big breaker eoaio rolliu in,
and as it broke upou the beach aud
b;'gun running out again, saw my first
chance to rush, for there, in about an
:ucu of water, wu floundering abg
li.b. The next breaker would carry
him out agniu should I wait but nu in
stant. I rushed, uud wi!:i a email
kicit bout the fish up outo tho teach.
h'gh aud dry. In this novel way of
rushing nud ri If. nM.g, an 1 without as
much us ge.t.ug my feet wet, I cuu-ht
twelve tine fish iu about a half hour's
time, und which I found upou re ;cu
ing home to weigh eight aud aquarter
pounds. ruri:g this time, 1 saw over
two hiiu.lreU ti.-b caught in this man
ner, some of t'aera weighing Iroul two
to three pounds.
The cause of tho fish being carried
up onto the bench whs tho very high
lido and the very c.dd weather. In
ruuuiug iu too cioso to shore, to feed
on a small eel, about three or four
inches lon, called suud eels, they are
can ;hi in tho breakers and throws up
outo tbo teach. Tho fish thuscoight
