At breakfast that day the talk happenet to tui on arehiteciure, and Monsieur de Satnt- Flor assured Frank that the house which shel- tered Dim at that fnstant was a pure speclaen of Francots Premier. ‘The outer walls and for- Uficatiens had of course been pulled dowa; there had formerly been eight corner towers, of Which only oue rematned, the old disused ¢ol- ombler. But the taree paviltons of the house itself, with the galleries connecting them, stood prone as the sixteenth century had left them. Monsieur de Salnt-Fior told his com- 4u1008 that he was proud of their very ailap- intion, and would never consen! to thelr belng restored. He remarked that restoration was the tomb of history. Frank, who had often heard Albert speak cf the old chatean io a very different strain, was irreverent enough to woa- der whether a good balance at ais banker's Would not alter M. le Baron’s opinion. He dis- covered, however, that Marguerite—this w. her lovely name, by which the bold Engitsh- ian slready called ber in his dream3—hia a very affectionate udintratioa for tue old plac She looked up and smlted,and joined io ub: conversation quite eagerly.

It was a privilege to find her alone, aad he hur- ried into the room, where she welcomed Lia with a smile.

Are you Will you answer mg?” She shook her head. Pres€ntly, after more prayers and eager.questions, she confessed that she did not hate him—no, why should she? But he had surprised her very much, and—tin fact, | she did not know what to say. * I ought to have spoken first to your father?” cried Frank suddenly recoliecting himself. *But that roundabout fashion 1s ell very wel for those who don’ care a3Ido. Are you angry? Do you wish that I had spoken to him first?’ “Idon't know—everything Is strange,” sald Marguerite. “It is only—bvecause I am afraid he will think that you ought. We always do, you know.” “Then you will let me speak fo him now!” ex- claimed Frank tn immense excitement. “You frighten me—you are so terribly-Eng- lsh. Can I prevent you?” . As the Baron was half a mile off through the snow, and as Frank felt that his part of the business must be managed through Albert with all possible formality, he dtd not fod it neces- ‘sary to leave off his love-maklag at this point, unorthodox asit was. Marguerite, with all her charm, was a puzzle tohim. There seemed to be more wistful sadness than ever in those Wonderful violet eyes asshe looked up at him; & sort Of sad indifference in her manner too, though through it all he knew that she be- longed to him, and that she recognizea the fact, For some minutes she seemed to be trying to gay something, to give him some waraing: she had a way of lifting up her hand, as If to hire in his protestations. “Let me ” she sald at last; let me tell Pod ing.

No shot should be used the leader, as in trolliug. 1 shail now try to describe and explain how to use the best and most killing rig I have ever fished with tor black bass, and ome which I can recommend, The same rod used for still fish- ing or trolling with tlies will answer. The reel should be a muuitiplte oiaining at least fifty yards of iine. A sinele gue ler is used, the Same as described abvve for trolling with flies, with the exception Uthat two swivels are used Instead of one, as hereafter explained. The Jeader should be made in two It your leader Js ten feet long one part should be seven fret and the other three, one of the swiveis connecting the two parts. The short part of the Jeader should be at the lower end. In length it should be within cight inehes or a foot as long as your rod ts from the tip gown to the reel. On the leader ts attached a gang of hooks by means of a small brass swivel, The gang ts made In the following way: The hooks used are O’Shaughnessy’s No. 9. Two Sets of the cape ot : iphel, and one ot of two the shape of a graj hooks soldered back to back. The hooks thus arranged are ted on a piece of gut (the same size as used for leader) five inches long, which includes loop. The sets of hooks should be placed one and a half inches apart, with the set Of two hooks at the upper part of the gang, which will make the gang of hooks measure three inches from point to point, This is the right length for a minnow about four inches long. If the average size of your minnows are larger or smaller, the gang should be made in proportion. In putting the minnow on the gang, insertone of the uj hooks in the side of the head, and one of the lower ones in the fide near the tail; one of the middie hooks should also be luserted in the side, The minnow when on the hocks should have a slight curve, which gives It @ slow rotary motion. Before putting on the minnow I stun it by hing the head, and also sew up the mouth with nee- at to e dveper aud more | die and thread, which gives it a lifelike appear- ance.
