after ou the rook a. are battling traits
of the bass that relate merely to his
sj rtlug relations with the uugler.
Hut there are other mysteries that
puzzle the naturalist and bear ou the
organic life of the Ash.
L'p In Main* are two Itaaa riven not
far apart, lu one the Ash run often
to four, even to Ave, pounds; In the
other rarely above a pouud and a half,

w hole seasou oUce ran up to 35)8 tish.
Food was evidently abundaut for the
bass were "chunky" and the viscarea
thkk with fatty tissues. Yet tbe post
mortem showed la the stomach only
glutinous. uurecogulzabte white mat
ter. and tbe target t>ass of the whole
season drew the scale* at but a pound
sud three-quarters. What did those
bass live ou. aud why didn't they grow
bigger? Again. In the uplands of Coo- I
Qecticut are two large lakes some eight
tulles apart, in the one bass are of
ten caught lu wluter Ice Ashing; in
the other lake almost never tn wluter.

bass butchery has observed a silvery
change of the bass at the approach of

ROGUES III UNIFORMS
Donned Official Clothes to Work
Their Victims.
CLEVER RUSSIAN SWINDLERS.
T"he Plausible Old Military Man Who
Mad* ? St. Petersburg Jeweler Whom
He Robbad Act as Hi* Accomplice.
The Energetic Police Agents.
Nowhere Is a uulforui more potent
than In Russia. aud that fact lias more '
(ban once bwu utilized by swindlers
tu their daring operations.
Some years ago a Jeweler on the
Nevsky I'ruspekt of St. Petersburg re
ceived a visit OQ0 sunny afternoon
from an old and deereplt officer hi the
uulforui of a geuer.it. The old gentle
tnau was aaslslvd from Ills carriage to
tbe couuter by an attentive footman In
livery. The stniliui; Jeweler received
blai with the di'li'rWMC tluv to bis rank
aud accommodated blm with a cbalr
fhe geutlenuiu bad come to rboo.se a
birthday present fut bis wife.
'l'be iradesuian displayed bis most
valuable collars and tiaras. Tbe vet
erau lingered over tbeui lovingly. At ,
last be uiade choice of a costly suit
aud Intimated that It would meet his
purpose.
Tremblingly tbe old soldier sought lu
bis breast for bis pocketbook. Ue had
sallied forth without It The disap
pointment of both shopman aud cus
tomer was acule. The geuerai. how
ever, was uot a strategist without re
source. With apologies he asked for
writing materials and essayed to pen
a letter to bis home. The excitement
actiug upon bis palsied bauds made his
writing Illegible. Tbe Jeweler was In
despair. Tbe old uiau sighed aud re
marked upon tbe sud consequences of
campaigns. Tbe Jeweler was touched,
lie had an Inspiration.
"Will your excellency permit rae to
write the Instruction to your dlcta
Tbe general was delighted and most
gratefully accepted the offer.
Ou the busiuess paper of his tlnu the
Jeweler wrote the stumbling words of
the vetera u:
?>ear Anna ? I have need of money.
Please take S.006 rubles from my safe and
*vi uru by Dearer, l.ovtngly yours,
IVAN.
The general's own footman was dis
patched wttb the uote. The old man (
?at admiring the Jewels until in due
course the servant returned with the
5,000 rubles. The tiara was bought
md paid fur. The Jeweler escorted his
Itst Incut. shed client to the carriage and
stood bowing as he drove away.
That eveuiug when the Jeweler re
turned to his home his wife asked why
be bad withdrawn so large a sum from
the family safe.
"What sum?" asked the shopkeeper
in surprise.
"Why. the 5.000 rubles you sent for i
this afternoon."
"Five thousand rubles! I don't un
derstand."
"Heavens, here's your letter!"
The wife produced the letter in the
Jeweler's own handwriting upon the
jeweler's own business note paper, and
he for the first time realised that the
romcnou name of Anna and the com
mon name of Ivan were respectively
those of himself and his wife as well
is of the palsied officer and his vision
ary spouse.
The Jeweler had paid for the officer's
tiara.
Of the sauie genre, though differing
lu detail, was another swindle perpe- j
trated u|wn a jeweler in St. Peters- !
burg The mystery surrounding the
composition 0f the secret service force ,
Is the moat effective, too, in the hands
of the intelligent Itusslan criminal.
Ou the Grande Morekala is one of the
most magnificent Jewelry stores in
Europe, the house of Fauberge. To it
one day drove up a splendidly ap
pointed equipage, in which were seat
ed two ladies. The ladles descended
at Fauberge's and were received as
customers of distinction. The older
lady introduced herself as the wife of
a well known statesman recently re
turned from abroad. She explained
that she bad been authorized by her
husband to choose a collar of dia
monds. The jeweler spread before her
the gems of his collection.
After much hesitation the lady pick
ed one of the most expensive, but to
her dismay the price exceeded that
suggested by her husband. The sales
man dreaded to lose so profitable a
customer. Could not madam obtain
the consent of her excellency's hus
band to the purchase? The lady medi
tated and at length begged permission
to drive to the office of her husband's
ministry- the distance was not great
to show him the collar and gain his
permission to buy It Her companion
would remain in the shop during her
absence as a hostage. The jeweler was
delighted with the suggestion.
T'-e lady departed in her carriage,
lime passed? quarter of an hour, half
an hour, three-quarters of an hour.
Suddenly there rushed Into the shop
two police ageuts. who announced
their authority and showed their offi
cial badges. Tbey assured the aston
ished Fauberge that he had been
swiud led. The Jeweler trembled. He
produced his hostage. The detectives
seized upon her. Protesting, she was
bustled luto a hack and driven away
to the police office.
It was the last the jeweler saw of
the woman, the police agents or the
diamonds. The detectives were the
coachman and the footman of the
brilliant equipage, who had changed
their clothes and returned to rescue
their accomplice.
