Her husband having resigned his posi tion in the diplomatic corps, she has now returned to her home in Rio Janeiro. Mine. Men'ilouca is quite different from the other American ladies in the diplo matic colony Not only does she look like a foreigner, but she speaks like one, having a decidedly French accent.

There was no wind; only a 111 fill hi coze stirred the Hap of the sail intcriuittciitlv, ami we were put at the oars, where we tolled painfully for an hout, struggling to pass the matted kelp beds which inclosed us Then the wind fieslieued, and we slid again into the open sea.

A fresh, strong wind was tugging at the brown sail and send ing the salt spray dashing over the low deck, and with one of the men at the tiller the sail was hauled into the wind, and the boat leaped forward, dragging its four lines through the water.

The wind was down the coast, and the boat made a succession of sharp tacks, dodging now far out into the sea and then back again, while the water giew rough under the touch of the freshening breeze, and it was with ditliculty that ' we could keep our feet. I Two hours more, and daylight began ' to break, but still we fished on, and the gasping mass in the bottom of the boat came half way to our boot tops. Then ' as the dawn brightened we could begin , to see the fish when they rose from the j depths of the green waters to take the hooks, sometimes a dozen of them trail- i ing along behind the tempting bait ' doubtfully, until one or two would dart forward and snap. Many times two or ' three would be hooked at once, and j twice we were hauling in all four of the lines at tic same time. j Suddenly at !) o'clock, when we were j l't miles up tin-mast and (i miles I nun I laud, the hnrrai uda stopped luting, and the (ileeks hauled 111 the lilies.
