"Miss Sibyl Is very cross," suggest- ed the maid in meek reply as she went on with her camapree task. "Well, ydu'd be cross, , irr-- "Shall I dress the hair nee or low this morning, miss?" interrupted Lou- ise. "The agliiest way possibie." 'said Siby! sharply. "Make me the ugliest Woman on the beach. Make me so ugly that no man will ever look at me, Do you understand?" she contin- ued. "I hate men." Loulse went on making puffs and curls regardless of her mistress' direc- tlons. Fora time nothing was sald. Sibyi was decidedly moody, and it was the nag who again started the conversatio "Miss Sibs!, what is a good looking oe "Why, Louise, you are stupid not to- know that.

He says that Iam a good looking glass, What does he mean, Miss Sibyl?" "Ile doubtless says you are a good looking lass--that is, a girl," Sibyl ex- plained. "But let me see the letter." I'rom the pocket of ber dainty apron Louise drew forth the note. Sibyl read it through, hesitated a moment and then turned to her maid. "Louise, I'll meet this man In your I don't want you to be de- Mr. Judson has proved false, and"-- A tlny tear found its way on Sibyl's cheek. So it was arranged, and the season's belle, Sibyl Stevenson, strolled down toward the clump of tall pino trees near the edge of the Inke in the early evening to meet the man who had paid court to her maid. The trees, shaken by the breezes, cast freakish shadows on the ground, and Sibyl was not alto- gether comfortable. She was cager to meet this youth who was trifling with the affections of her maid and give him a piece of her mind. She had not long to wait, how- ever, before the tall figure of a man came down the winding pth, With long, swinging strides he ap- proached, stopped a moment as if to make quite sure of--something, she knew not what. Then, to her great sur- prise, be turned quickly and disap- Siby! walted until she felt it was no longer safe for her to be out alone and returned to the hotel to tell her maid of the strange occurrence. They dis- cussed the protlem, and both decided that the gorgeons gowm worn by Miss Stevenson did not look like the simple grooming of ber maid. This fact bad probably frightened the man away, The next evening Sibyl, dressed in a plain black frock, with white collar and cuffs and a drooping hat, awaited the mysterious Romeo whom Loulse had notified by note to be there at a certain hour, Again the tall figure swung down the road, a slouch Hut pulled down well over his eyes. "Ila that you, Louise?' he whispered. Sibyl] started to scream; then she yeancd against a friendly pine tree and ; fm a weak voice claimed the identity. "Is she wise?" asked the man.

Upon inquiry she learned that her guest was waiting on the corner of the piazza for her. She went to meet him, and Larry Jud- son put forth his hand os she came to- ward him in the dim light. "Sibyl, you must bear me," Judson gan "My dear Mr. Judson," said Sibyl, with stinging sarcasm, ties: is just the I've heard too already." "Now, please lsten. The train was late night before last, we were derailed just the other side of the draw, and I couldn't very "4vell swim all the way here, conld 17 "Is that all you have to say?" in- quired Sibyl, but the tone of ber voice was o bit softer.

If you'll prom- ise not to discharge her, I'll tell you a It was Loulse who arranged this campaign; it was she who suggest- ed my writing her a letter that would reach you., She's a brick, all right, is Loulse." Sibyl opened her eyes wide and star- ed at Judson for a moment, "You mean to tell me that stupid French girl planned al! this to give you n chance to explain," mused Sibyl. "But why?" ' "I hunted her up and told ber you were angry with me because I kept you waiting nearly two hours, She un- derstood It was not my fault,if- you would net." "But how can you explain about be- ing with Miss Lawton?? suggested Sibyl. . "Easily," assured Judson: .

"Will you pfomise to give Louise a ' pension for life?" asked Sibyl. And as bo took her in his arms he romised that and many other more important things. Real Bottomless Pits. Bottomless pits are facts, Tot fancies, according to Professor B, A. Martel, the French geologist: He declares that this term may be applied to cliff caves whose lower] t las Leen cut off by the erosion of the valley below, thus turning them Into tunnels, through which the valley may seen. The most remarkable abyss of this kind Which the savant has seen is the so called hole of Platary, on the summit of the eastern ridge of Vercors, above Clelles. At about 5,100 feet a horizon- tal orifice opens suddenfy . like -the -nouth of an ordinary cave, which It probably once was. The bottom has been cut off, demolished by the !m- mense erosion of the vast basin of treves to the east, 2,300 to 3,300 feet deep, on which the present lower ort- fice of the present cave opens out in no superb arch twenty-six feet high rom the railway between the sta- tions of Clelles and Percy, on the line from Grenole to Veynes, it is seen 2,300 feet in the alr like a pinhole near the summit of a limestone cliff.

Fishing a well known river In Nor- way one June, one of the tenants of the fishing lodge opposite ours caught @ fish-of twenty-nine pounds in the morning and lost auother, bis spinning fme being broken by the rush of n heavy fish. Fishing with prawn the afternoon of the same day, the same angler in the same pool got into a good fish at bis Orst cast. After a long fight the fish was gaffed and landed. Then was revealed a strange state of things. The prawn tackle had never touched the fish; In fact, the hooks were a foot or more from it. They had caught in the cast which had been lost that morning and was now twisted futo knots and tangles no doubt by the salmon endenvoring td get rid of the treble Norsk cast and hooks. The line bad been got rid of. As the prawn swung down the pool it had grappled the lost cast still attached to the sahn- on, and 'fish (thirty-three pounds), cast and tackle were recovered. We watch- ed the incident from the road and, crossing the river, handled the recov- ered cast. Many maintain that salmon once hooked and played for any length of time leave the pool.--W. H.
