C? .^.?^.^%%%^*-%^%'^%% ?s Mr. George Everett was sitting 'after supper on the piacza, of the Hill side House he suddenly noticed two boys who had really been standing near by for some minutes. Taking a .good look' at them, he said to himself $h&t th?y were certainly twins, and as -alike as two peas in a pod. Then he '.?OUK? himself associating them in *se4ne way with fried fish,and in an in stant recognized them as boys who had brought some flue trout to the hotel a day or two before. He thought they seemed anxious rc speak to him, but lacking iu confi dence. So he smiled in a way that was'meant to be encouraging. Then he heard a whisper: "Go ahead, Hod! What you 'fraid of?" The boys approached, aud one of them said diffidently: "We thought p'r'aps you might like to look at our card." "Your card?" echoed Mr. Everett, at the same time accepting a square piece of pasteboard on which was written 4?Q following: BATMOND BROS. GUIDES TO FISHING GROUNDS. TERMS REASONABLE. Mr. Everett was somewhat mysti fied, and looked at the boys inquir ingly. "We didn't know but you might like to have us take you round to some good fishing places,"said the ora who had. offered the card. **We know just where they are and how to catch them, " added the othsr. "Oh, you are the Eaymond broth era, are you?" ? *Tes, sir. I'm Horace and he's Henry;" "Ah,I see, but I'm afraid I shouldn't another time," said Mr. Everett, try ing hard to find some difference iu the looks of the brothers. "How long laave you been acting ?as guides, and what are your terms?" "We're just beginning," answered Horace. "We'd take what you thought was right," said Henry. "Sit down, boys, and let us talk it over," said Mr. Everett, who found Ilia new acquaintances amusing. The conversation was satisfactory, and Mr. Everett finally said: *1 have ?been fishing considerably since I have been here, but have had poor luck. If you think you can show me some really good sport I will go with you, and I will pay you for your day. How will next Saturday suit you?" Next Saturday would suit the boys first rate, they said, and they went ou their way in high spirits. Mr. Everett, who had been spending some weeks at the cosy Hillside House, thought that he had . pretty thoroughly tested the fishing privi leges of the region roundabout, but he found his mistake on that Saturday. The "guides" not only had the true fisherman's instinct, but they knew intimately every stream and pond for miles around, and they led their young gentleman a jaunt which left* him at night, as he. expressed it, a "broken down old man." But as he dragged his aching limbs toward home he was the owner of the finest string of trout and pickerel that had ever gladdened his eyes. As they began their walk home, Mr. Everett said: "Well, boys, I think that I can rec ommend you as stars in your profes sion. By the way, how did you hap pen to take up the guide business?" "Well," began Horace, "we wanted some money awfully. We've got a gray colt at home, name's Gray Eagle, and he's got speen-" "We thought he was all spavined np when pa bought him," observod Henry, parenthetically. "He's all right now," Horace went on, "we've been training him.'* "Take him out on the fair track most every night after milking," said Henry. "Go like the wind, the colt will," Horace continued, "after we've got him down to his work." "les?" said Mr. Everett. "And what has all thit to do with wanting some money?" ? "Well," replied Horace, "the town fair ?omes on next week, and we want to enter the colt for a race in the three-minute class-" "Horses that never trotted bette*'n three minutes in public," Henry ex plained. "And yon have to pay to enter a horse for a race, and besides, we shall have to hire a gigi" "Ah, I see!" said Mr. Everett, '.Does your father happen to know about this?" "No. Pa don't know anything aboutit yet," answered Henry, with some embarrassment. "But he won't care," said Horace, earnestly. "We want to kind of sur prise him. \ He's a deacon, pa is, bub he says that the trots at our fair are well enough." "Ain't no pool-selling or anything, you know," observed Henry. "He's one of the trustees of the fair himself,"' added Horace, "but all he cares-for is cattle and sheep and butter and such things." The boys had evidently reserved their favorite theme until the last, and finding an int?rested Havener, they spared no details. Before Mr. Ever ett had reached the hotel he waB in possession of the complete history of the gray colt, and whs fully informed in regard to that great annual event -ihe town fair. Furthermore, he had promised to delay his departure to the city for a ' day or two in order to be present at Gray Eagle's performance. When he handed the boys the five dollars which they had hoped for but F "WHOA," EVENING.

"You'll see Gray Eagle trot now!" said Henry. "And he'll come in ahead, stive as guns!" "If be doesn't buck," added Horace. - "Wou't it beratbev dangerous busi ness for boys like you?" asked Mr-, Everett. "Which of you is to drive?" "Oh, Horace, o? cours'e," replied Henvy. ,xHo can drive is well as any mA? in. this town." ''Hejivy eau drive as well as I can," explained his brother, "but he sort bf lacks confidence before folks." "Iou bad better tell youv father what you propose to do," was Mr. Everett's parting advice. "Ob," that'll le all right," was the cheerful rejoinder. Agreeably to promise, Mr. Everett, on a pleasant day early in October, made one of the throng in attendance at the town fair grounds. He spent an hour or two inspecting the sleek stock of the farmers, admiring the handiwork of the farmers' wives and dangbters, witnessing a plowiug match, listening to the eloqueuce of the lemonade venders, aud especially noting the odd characters which are always to be seen oji such occasions. Then, following the movement of the crowd, he found himself at length at the greit centre of attraction? and he took his place in the front tier of seats opposite the judges' stand by tho "half-mile track." The judges had taken their positions-, aud bad rung the cracked bell hang iug over the stand as a signal to the drivers in the first race to prepare for action. Seven more or less fleet-footed steeds were being driven on the track for the preliminary "warming up," and as this was the "three-minute clans," Mr. Everett looked them over anxiously to discover if the gray colt and his driver were among the con testants. Sure enongh.there they were! That loose-jointed, shambling, rough-coated animal, looking as if he were just out of the pasture, was doubtless Gray Eagle. And the little fellow perched on a riokety gig aud clad ia ? uniform con sisting of a red flannel shirt and visor less cap, was no other than his young friend, Horace. Hardly had Mr. Everett identified one of the Raymond twins when the other appeared at his elbow. % "i "How d' do, Mr. Everett?" said the drawling voice. "Say, we're in luck, Hod and I are! They've drawn for positions, and Gray Eagle's got the pole!" Again the bell rang, and the scoring began. The usual number of false starts occurred, and Mr. Everett no ticed, to bis surprise, that Gray Eagle, in spite of his uncouth appearance, trotted in a very lively way, and that the diminutive Horace was at least as skillful a driver as any of his competi tors. "That colt of yours bas a wicked looking eye," bo remarked to Henry. "i'es, bo's ugly," admitted the boy, " but Hod knows how to manage him." Once more the bors?s came down to the wire. "Go!" shouted one of the judges, and away they went-all but Gray Eagle. The excitement had proved too much for him, aud instead of trotting, be seemed to be executing something like a war dance. Up aud down, from right to left, forward and backward he prauced, to the great delight of the crowd and to the deep mortification of poor Henry. "He'a bucking, just as I was afraid of!" s'aid be, with tears in his eyes. But the young driver was not dis mayed. He had loosened the reins when the trouble began, and for an instant he let the colt take his own course. Then, with a sharp pull and a resounding cut with tho whip, he brought Gray Ea<jle tc his feet and sent him on his way. The affair had taken *bi:t a few sec onds, but even the slowest of the horses now strung along the truck was far ahead of the gray colt. But the mirth of the spectators was soon changed to amazement at that colt's performance. "Didn't I say he could trot?" drawled Henry. There was no doubt about it. When Gray Eagle had made the first circuit of the track.it was evident that he was not to be the last in the race. But could he possibly overtake the two horses whicb, well ahead of the otbers, were contending for the first place? Steadily he gained. Down the home stretch whirled the two leaders, and Gray Eagle was only a length behind. Then came ah nnenrthly cry from tho lips of the young driver, and the whip descended on the gray colt's back. "I knew Hod was going to yell!" said Henry, exultingly, as Gray Eagle swept under the wire the winner by a neck. In the midst of the cheering, Horace drove up, and with a professional air threw the reins to Henry, who at once went to the stable with? the colt. Now, forcing his way through the crowd, there appeared an elderly man with a look of astonishment on bis face that was comical io see. "Horace," he began, "what in all nature does this mean?" "Father, this is Mr. Everett, that's stopping at the tavern," said Horace, evidently glad of a diversion. "Hope to see . you well, sir. But, Horace, what you been np to? I never was so took back in my Ii?e as I was ! when they told me down to the hall what you were doing!" Horace bega J to explain awkwardly , enougb, but h:s father cut him short I -,--.-? "I can't stop to talk now. All is, lei this be the end on'tl It isn't safe for a boy like yon." "0 pa, do let mo drive him one mor? hoatl It's best two lrt.,tur??,and I cftn surely byj&t ?nfl get the premium!" *f)3Sb, Horace, I won't risk your neck-for all the premiums in the world. I've gx>t to go back now, but yob must promise not to drive again. /'But, pa, suppose I eau find some body to drive the colt?" "Well," said his father, who was perhaps in his heart somewhat proud of the colt's borforniance, "if you can get anybody that knows how, I don't care. All is, don't you do it" So saying, he withdrew. ""Too bad!" exclaimed Horace,start ing for the stable with tears in his eyes. "There's nobody that I can get to driva that colt, with all his tricks." Mr. Everett saw nothing "of the Raymond boys for theuext hour. He took but little interest iu the other races, but he kept his place, having some curiosity to see whether the gray colt would appear agaili with a new driver. The time for th? sec ond trial in th? three-minute cla?s cam? at last. "Y?s-, there is Gray Eagle again, " said Mr. Everett tb himself. "And can it b? possible? Will Horace dis obey his father and drive the colt,after all? Ah,here is Henry again! Henry, I wouldn't have thought that Horace would break hispromisetohis father!" "That isn't Horace behind Gray Eagle," said the boy, flushing guilt ily. "I'm Horace. Father didn't say thal Henry couldn't drive." "Oh,that is the way of it!" said Mr. Everett. "I'm sorry if that is your idea of obedience," he added, quietly. Horace made no reply, and the race vbegan. Gray Eagle took the lead and kept it easily once around the track. "He's got the race!" cried Horace. But in a moment his face fell. "Oh, he's off his feet! Why doesn't Hen pull him down? Why; what's happened? fleury can't hold him! He's running away!" It was tod true. Swerving from side to side along the track,dashed th? frightened anim?t. At ev?ry instant it seemed to the horrified spectators as if H?nry must be thrown to the ground. The reius were broken, aud the boy was powerless to guide or check the horse. "He'll be killed!" gasped Horace. "And it'll be me that killed him!" Now the wild horse and his helpless driver were once more nearing the stand. Horace's face showed pale nuder the tan, but there was the fire of purpose in his eyes. "I'm going to try it," he said, and he sprang on to the track. A leap for the bridle-there was a chance in a thousand, but he caught it! An instant later the horse had been brought to the fence by the side of the track. Henry had picked himself np, somewhat dazed by his fall from the gig, but not seriously hurt, and Horace lay on the ground with bleeding head and broken arm. Gray Eagle was being held by a dozen meu who had rushed to Hor ace's assistance, while the other con-. test?hts, hardly realizing what had happened, were just finishing the race. Horace was taken to his home, and at tho boy's earnest request,Mr.Ever ett displayed really excellent sur gical skill in setting the broken arm and dressing the wounded head. Thus Horace was his first patient. When he had been made comfort able he said to bia father, who was standing by his bed: "I want to tell you, pa, that Henry wasn't one bit to blame. It was all my fault," "I guess I wouldn't talk now," said Mr. Raymond. "But I must tell you. Henry didn't even know that I had seen yon at all. I just said when I went to the stable that I wasn't going to drive again. He thought I just wauted to give him a chance, and took the horse. I pre tended to myself that I wasn't dis obeying you, but I knew all the time that I was. It served me right to get hurt. But I'm glad enough that it wasn't Henry." "Well, well, I'll forgive you as far. forth as I am concerned," said his father, md I think this'll be a lesson that you won't forget. How do you feel now, my son?" And he laid his rough hand tenderly on the cheek of this repentant boy. "Well, my head aches pretty bad, and my arm pains me, and I keep thinking how I did wrong. But I tell you, I feel awful good 'a,ide of the way I felt when Gray Eagle and poor Henry were coming dowu the home stretch!"-Youth's Companion. Great Fluh In ir ?ar Hawaii. Captain Joh u M. Sass of the gaso lene schooner Malolo has just discov ered and chartered hitherto unknown shoals of considerable area to the southwest of the island of Molokai, Hawaii. The shoals are, in fact, a submerged extension of that island. He has found that they extend for about 30 miles almost due southwest from Molokai, at a surprisingly uni form width of about 12 miles. These h shoals give soundings of from 28 to 32 fathoms, ending abruptly on all sides in soundings bhowing about 2(50 fathoms. The shoals seem to be the top of a submerged plateau with a very even and smooth surface cov ered with fine gray coiul and affording excellent anchorage. The discovery was made while sounding for fishing fields. The water above the shoals swarms with edible fish of great value. But it also swarms wjth sharks. Hooks and lines thrown down to the bottom immediately bring up fish, but at the second or third throw only fishes' heads comes up, the sharks having snapped off the bodies of the fishes as they are being drawn up from the depths.-Chicago Record.

You look up to the mountain fronts as your train struggles to find its way into Pretoria and wherever the eye rests there appears to be the lines of a fort, a redoubt, the front of masked batteries or the domes of bomp-proof rifle and cannon pits. To the north, east, west and south these engirdle the city. They, command tho few very few-narrow entrauces to Pre toria.

The center of the system of forts hes about 3G00 feet to the westward bf the northern end of Pretoria^ and has a radius of something more than 7000 yards. The center of the city is onjy about 11,000 feet, nearly due south, on the fort on Signal Hill, which is about 400 feet abovo the plain on the west side of the railway to Johannesburg, and about 13,000 feet from the fort on the hill to the east of the railway and the Aapies River ruuning to the north.
