1 was sitting in the dressing room of
the famous actor, Morel, as he was re-
moving his neakeup after a masterly per-
tormatice of "L'Ariesionne," The holm
lied rung with apleuse or held its breath
in passionate attention as lerederi utter-
ed Ilia tender words of love. There was
none that could equal him in the
strength and wonderful beauty of his
Love scenes.
Morel and I had been friends from, our
childhood, and. now, After a separation
of nearly twenty years, we were hapy
to have met once more.
"Come, my handsome Frederi," I said,
"I em going to take you away with me
for slipper to -night. We will invite 'V ,
vete, 0 you like. Mlle. .Darneuille is
truly charming in that part, andi shouid.
like to see you with your fiancee."
"My fiancee," Morel repeated, grave-
ly, as if the word had impresed Mine
"Of course! Why, what troubles yen?
Stage betrothals are not lasting unless
eou please, you k,nowl"
Later, as we three sat about the table
in the soft light of the pinieshaded can-
dles, I remembered Morel's abstraction
at the word fiancee ,and asked him the
reason.
"Perhaps he was engaged. once upon
a, time," said the pretty actress, smiling
bewitchingly.
"Don't laugh," replied my friend, "but
that is exactly the reason. I was engag-
ed once, although only for a short time,
and a, kind of stage betrothal at that.'
"Ah, I breathe again/' she cried, with
a mock sigh of relief. "I was afraid of
a rival! Mutt play was it in?"
"In a play that ha e no title, and
which no one bas ever seen," Morel an-
swered, gravely.
"But what theatre, then?" she persist-
ed.
"The theatre of life."
Ile spoke slowly, as 0 the memories
the words called up were manful to re-
member.
"Tell us about it," she pleaded, with
a look of tenderness in her merry eyes.
The actor smiled assentingly, and, af-
ter a moment's silence, wile° the liana
above us played a soft waltz, he began.
"Yes, I was engaged once, engaged
for two months. The story is a strange
one, but, as the young girl is dead now,
I may speak.
"It was a good many years ago, a tit-
tle while after I had inade my debut
at the Gyrunase. 1 was leading a very
contented sort of life, proud of my
success, amusing myself as I pleased and,
at heart, skeptical of --most people and
things.
"One evening, as I sat quietly reading
at home, I heard a timid ring at the bell,
and presently. a middleitiged lady, res-
pectably dressed, in mourning entered tbe
room.
"Somewhat puzzled, I asked her to be
seated, and she interrupted me gently.
" have come to ask a favor of you,
ire she began, in a trembling voice,
'something at once most painful and ilei

knowtoo, tbat you are a gentleman,

SPEED OF FISHES.
Sharks Travel Fastest, With Tarpon sec-
ond and Mackerel Third.
Study of the speed of fishes is eni-
barrassed by unavoicieble difficulties. It
as not possible, as with birds, to set up
tali poles at 'intervals, of a quarter of
a mile, and, with the help of stop
watches time then' asthey go by. Never -
theles, 'recent investigation of the sub-
ject goes to show that the mackerel, if
not the champion racer of the briny deep,
comes pretty near to carrying off the
honos. Unquestionably it travels some-
times as fast as an express train at high
speed—say, at the rate of sixty or pos-
sibly seventy milean hour.
Other things being equal, tae larger
the fish the faster it swims—just as the
' huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little harbor
tug. Undoubtedly the energy employed
y a fish of great raze, such ae a thirty-
foot shark, when travelling at its best
gait, is something tremendous. An or -
denary tug, which represents a maximum
of energy in a minimum of bulk, utilizes
about 200 horse power. Of course, it is
only a guess, but it would not seem to
bo r tlie mark to suppose that a Mee
seventy-foot whale makes use of 500 me
horse power 'when it propels its huge
bulk through the water at the rate of
thirty miles an hour. A whale—which is

the fastest "ocean greyhound" in a speed
contest.
• If there is a fish that can travel faster
than a shark it must be the tarpon,
which can probably "hit her up" to tbe
tune of eighty miles an hour, if pressed
for time. Generally speaking, it may
be said that finny creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those that
dwell in the depths. Thus the cod, which
is a deep.water species, is sluggish and
I would stand no how at all in a race
with the mackerel or berring. These lat-
ter, which are distinctly pelagic, depend
for their living upon tbeir activity in pin
suing agile prey, and they must be quick'
in their moveznents in order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel was as big as a good-
-sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion of the ocean. No fish is
better shaped. for rapid going. Some
years ago a yacht Meader in New York
constructed a sloop with a hull patterned
exactly after the under body of a Spainah
mackerel. She was celled the Undine,
and, if tradition does not lie, she never
was beaten. Like the fish after which
she was modelled, she had her greatest
breadth of beam forward of amidships—

water craft are snore or less fishlike in

was satisfied that the only proper meth-

The Outing Magazine for November.
In the fall and winter one turns
naturally to reading and especially to
that reading which will recall to mind
the free and living world outside—a.
world temporarily done away with by
the cold and storm that keeps one
housed. Amotig the best matter of the
sort we find the Outing Magazine for
November. There Is Robert Dunn's
The Country Club: A National Ex-
pression. If you've ever been canoeing
before dawn you will find a charm of
truthfulness about Edwina Stanton Bab -

are two articles, one by Jesse Lynch
Williams and the other by Rene Bache.
The former is called The Workers of the
Great Lakes. Mr. Bache writes upon
Fish Planting, as a Business Enter-
prise. Other articles are: The Begin-
nings of Football, Amid Birch and Bal-
sam, Tricks of the Ruffed Grouse, Sea -

In these tombs, which are 5,000 years

in both hands are being carried benne by
sneering slaves. Drunken women lurch
through the streets, followed by little
mocking children. All this, mind you,

NELSON AND TOGO,
(From New York Sun, Oct. 25.)
Sir,—I was very much interested in
your leader on Togo and. Nelson, but in
the comparison of the relative merits of
these two great admirals I think the
crowning glory rests with Nelson. His
brilliant career did not consist of tbe
destruction of a fleet, or of a war of
but a few months. It covered many
battles and years of service. England
bas always been generous to his mein-
ory, but she can never repay the debt
she owes to his great genius. Nelson
has made the deck of the 05.1 Victory
holy ground to men of all nations who
admire gallantry and pluck,
iWhen all Europe was trembling with
fear of the great Napoleon, England in
her insular position was as safe from
land attack while Nelson lived as though
Napoleon was not in existence. When
a comparison is made of the personality
of the men that the two admirals con-
tended against, the comparative magni-
tude of their achievements can be best
understood. Without making more
than a reference to the glorious victory
of Trafalgar, I think that to have won
the battle of Copenhagen was a far
greater honor than it was to be the
destroyer of the Russian fleet.
The Danish sailors were the equal of
those of England. The engagement was
Go desperate that the two fleets fought
to is standstill. The English admiral
, in charge ordered the signal "Cease fir-
! ing" hoisted, and when the attention of
'Nelson, who was second in command,
calledwas to 15 he placed his iiand over

service, toward te signal, and said he
could not see it, and proceeded with the
i battle and gained the victory,
Who would hob rather liege won that
battle, under such circumstances, and
against such sailors as the Danes, than
to have the honor of having destroyed
a Ruesian fleet manned by stupid sail-

y The Growing

of Rape. K.

Craeafeateteratteraatleataitiaettleaagetaittiaidestee
Uptvarde of forty.five thousand acres
of land were used Inc vowing rape in
Ontario in 1905, It is a crop easy of
cultivation, abundant in growth, and.
rich in fattening properties. Owing to
its broad, spread leaves, rape has a
wonderful power oi smothering out
weeds and is thus one a the best crops
obtainable for cleaning the Med.
No los than eleven varieties of rape
have been grown in the experimental
'grounds of the °aerie Agricultural Col-
lege in oda of the past three years. In
1905 the yields varied from 4 to 21 tons
per acre, the lightest yielder being the
German variety, and the heaviest the
large Seeded Umbrella rape, In the
average of three years' experiments, the
Large Seeded Common, Large Seeded
Umbrella, lauckbee's Wonderful, Dwarf

toria. varieties have given the greatest
yields of green crop per acre. The
Dwarf Essex is one of the moth rele
able varieties. The German Sueanaer
(Bird Seed rape) should never be sown
for ag,rieuitural purposes, as it seeds

fully observed, a,s serious trouble has
sometimes resulted from sowing large
areas of this variety.
The most suitable soils for rape are
fairly moist loam, rich in vegetable
matter. Land should be prepared for
rape similar to net for root crops. Soils
deficient in vegetable matter should re-
ceive a coating of stable manure. A
dressing of eighty pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre when the rape was about
two inches high increased the yield of
the crop about two tons per acre hi

experiments conducted over Ontario for

Idays or so increases the growth of the

i Rape makes an excellent late summer
and autumn pasture crop for fattening
cattle, sheep and lambs. In one season
upwards of six hundred lambs were pas-

BABY'S AWAKENING.
It ought to be is pleasure to look for-
ward to baby's awakening., He should
awaken bright, smiling and full of fun,
refreshed by sleep and ready for a good
time. How many retreats dread their
child's voice, because they know when
he awakes he will cry and fret and keep
everyone on the move until he falls
asleep again from sheer exhaustion.
These crying fits melte the lifer of tbe
inexperienced mother a torment. And.
yet baby is not crying for the fun of
the thing—there is something wrong,
though the mother may not see any-
thing ails the child. Try Baby's Own
Tablets in cases of this kind, and we
venture to say baby will wake up happy
and smiling—an altogether different
child. Here is proof from Mrs. John
S. Sutherland, Blissfiehl, N. S., who says:
"My baby was terribly cross, and often
kept me awake hulf the night before I
got Baby's Own Tablets for her. Since
I began givizig her the Tablets, she is
perfectly weli, sleeps soundly all night,
and wakes up bright and fresh in the
morning." Baby's Own Tablets are a
safe medicine for children of all ages.
They cannot do anything but good. You
ean get them from your druggist, orh by
mail at 25 cents a box, by writiug The
