We eat in a large boat with two sails and moved merrily over the little waves. On board there were fifty yards of netting, a basket of black bread and pickled cod, a ket- tle and a pot, two bark boxes to con- tain the fish, and one or two heavy deerskin jackets to put on if the night should be very cold. The men were idle, the women rowed. I ladled out water now and then, for we leaked badly, and there 18 nothing more un- pleasant than to have one's food or clothes splashed with bilge, a writer in the London Evening Standard says: There was a little convereation. “Why is it so much fish comes up the Dwina this season of the year?” “A bug drives them.” “It they didn’t come up it would be bad for us.” “God sends the bug to chase them, 80 that the poor moujik shall not starve.” “That is true. Glory be to Thee, O Lord!” The women discussed whether the tide was coming in or going out. They agreed that if the tide were still com- ing in we should catch nothing but “gpittles,” meaning thereby very little fish or nothing at all. We all hoped that the tide had turned. Casting Nets on the Dwina. By 8 o'clock we reached the shore of & Dwina island, drew in on the sand and prepared to tackle for our first cast into the depths, The nets, fifty yards long and ten feet wide, were much entangled, and the stone weights attached all along the bottom did not make unraveling the easier. We spent an hour extricating the stones and the corks and repairing the big rents through which, in their imagination, the women already saw our finest fish leaping. Attached to the four extreme ' corners of the netting were long ropes | —these were the pulling ropes. lkra's ! son and Laika took a pair of these and Ikra and the two women took the loose ready netting on board and rowed out upon the water, throwing out the tackle as fast as we traveled, so that there was a long tail of corks and rope stretching behind us to the shore, where the other two held their ends. The women rowed, I helped to throw out the nets, When we had reachea a coanvenient point we turned the boat and rowed back to the shore, making the floating | foot long. Ever and anon a big fish lne of corks and rope into a half cirele. Once on the shore we took out our ends of the rope and pulled. Young Tkra and Laika also pulled; one of the women went over to help them. The mets were very heavy and ylelded very slowly to our tugging, so heavy that ene might have thought that they in- closed all the fish of the sea. As a matter of fact, it was the river that resisted us and not the draft. We wound the ropes round our middles and lay dback and dragged like captaine of a tug of war. Gradually, very gradually, we gained the victory, and approached the other fiu’w\)\nnum.‘fg%u -~ Y9 SR Good Cuile N\ Zoral Purpo . Much Cutle is made of g steel.

With a one, two, three, we landed the heavy sack of the net with its com- plement of mud and weeds and shells and splashing, slithering fish. A glorious sight presented itself— three large white gwineads all to- gether and half a dozen fair-sizea fish enmeshed, halt escaped, but caught, then a bushel of perch and dace and flounders. We all emiled and felt pleased. Stared At by Wild Horses. By 11 o'clock, when the sky was steeped in the first red of sunset, we had already cast the net six times and were content with the result. Two of the party went off to look at the bushes to see whether the wild black currants were ripening, and the rest of us eat round on the sand and ate bread and fish, While sitting so, about twenty wild horses came trampling over the sand and stared at us curl ously; then, when I tried to stalk them, galloped off pellmell. The river was perfectly tranquil, the yellow peach burned to crimson from the low rays of the sun. The Dwina villages slept, there was scarcely a craft to be seen on the river, and we seemed utterly alone in the world. We began tc feel cold and proposed to go in search of the others, when suddenly they appeared, declaring there were no berries this year, nothing at all. We had better keep to fish; we should do nothing gather- ing fruit, That meant that we set to work again. When we had filled our bas- kets we would light a bonfire, and make tea and warm ourselves. Fortune remained with us—God al- lowed the fish to be caught, as one moujik put it—and we did well. We brought in much jack, many muddy flat fish, then a fat salmony looking fish of which I know not the name, and at least a ecore of gwineads over a An Endless Variety Of the Best Brands would jump and escape. We arranged the baskets, putting the large fish in one and the little ones in the other. There was a cun- ning jack that was squirming its tail and snapping its jaws like an alligator. 1 offered him a little fish and he bit it in two. At 1 in the morning the deep band of sunset still glowed in the north and west. The waters of the river drowned crimson with purple, and the sands were becoming brown again as the dusk settled down. Soon it would be dawn. At 3 it was cold, and we finished our fishing and bullt a brushwood bonfire on the beach. It eackled, smoked and flamed, scorched our bare legs, but warmed not our bodles. Yet the tea was good. The sky was full of the prediction HAMS--With that rict,, spicy flavor BACON--That streak of lean and streak]of fatki! SAUSAGE S--Mostfany kind|to your liking.

It was our lot to repeat this .abo- | rious and fruitless performance three times before success attended our ef- forts. It was at the fourth cast that our fortune suddenly changed. As usual we drew in the nets slowly and heavily and approached one an- other, and then stood hopeful,. but ready to be disappointed, watching the finale. On this cccasion we saw big fish swimming about, trying to i down to put our tackle aboard. Then came a wonderful period—the lighting up of the dawn, when the sun rose over the black forest, changing all the ‘ Octagon Soap, 6for ............... .. éround Coffee, per pound . pine tops to fire embroidery.
