When the school gathered once more and the daily round 0! simple recltations began, she realized as never before how blessed a thlng it is in thin world that we can have occur patlon. Op- ing the island girl Albert had fallen in love with she thought but little. She -. fell to thinking what a void it would I make in her life it his thoughts and . affection we're centered elsewhere. . Then she began wondering why he had .1 failed to write as often as usual dur- ; ing the past six weeks. She had known f his plans for the yachting trip, and im- ; agined his letter announcing its failure {and his return to work an expression lot disappointment. Since then he had swritten but once, telling her that he fwas overwhelmned with business and inclosing a check, but failing to inclose , any but the briefest expression of love. ' Life with Alice was at best a lone- , some one, and Sunday, with its simple ‘ services in the village church, the sing- ing in the choir and pleasant nods from J ' all she met, was the only break in its ‘ imonotony. Now, during summer va- vcation time, it was worse than ever, [snd‘she began counting the days until I school opened again. Once, with Aunt ? Susan for company, she had visited the old mill pond and, rowing the boat her- self, had gathered an ample supply of lilies, only to come home so depressed she did not speak once during the tour mile drive. She had written Frank an account or the trip, but failed to men- tion that she had landed at a certain point and. sat on the bank and shed a few tears while Aunt Susan waited in the boat and sorted the lilies. Sh had inclosed a wee little lily bud in is letter, but not a word by which he could infer that her heart was very hungry torâ€"some one. She thought of her brother, toward whom her heart had always turned when in trouble, and not in min. 0! the jest that Frank had made regard- __o_--v a--. i all ready for him to fall in love with. i} As for me, she will never have the . chance to frown at me, for even if 5’ Blanch begs, I would never set foot in I her house." When her feelings had I. carried her up to this point she arose and, going into the parlor, began play- ing. Her pinno was the best and about the only companion she had and quick- l j ly responded to her moods. And now what did it tell? She played, but every chord was ‘a minor one, full of the pathos‘ot tears and sorrow. She sang. but every song that came to her lips carried the same refrain and told only of hungry hearts and unanswered love. And last, and worst at all, almost in- sensibly her fingers strayed to the chords of one well remembered song. One verse only she sang, and when the last pathetic line was ended she arose and, going to her aunt and kneeling, bowed her head in that good old soul’s lap and burst into tears. It did not last long, however, and when the storm was over she arose and said: “There, auntie; I’ve been spoiling for a' good cry all day, and now I’ve had it and feel better.” _..

Then he had a little good new: from Stockholm, which, as he said to him- self, would serve as an excuse.

An insidious longing to see the girl that had been in his thoughts for four months had come to Later, when another letter came for her in a hand that he recognized, he handed it to her with a smile and 1m- medlately left her alone to read it. “Ye won’t think that 0’ me,” he re- plied as they rattled down the sharp 'inctines into the village. She noticed after tn}: that he want- ed_ her with him oftener than ever. “I hain’t bin thinkin’ ’bout myself in this matter,” he observed as he picked up the reins again and chirruped to the old horse, “an’ only am wantin’ ter see ye provided fer, Telly. As fer Mr. Page or any other man, every woman needs a purtector in this world, an’ when the right ’un comes alongdon’t let yer reelin's or sense 0’ duty stand in the way 0’ havin’ a home 0’ yer own.” “But you are not anxious to be rid of me, are you, father ?” When she ceased Uncle Terry looked at her a moment, suddenly dropped the reins and putting both arms around her held her for a moment and kissed her. He had not kissed her for many years. She paused, and two tears trembled on her long lashes. to be quickly brush- ed away. “Please. do not think me so ungrateful,” she continued, “as to let any man coax me away from you, for i no man can. Here I was cast ashore, : here I’ve found a home and love. and here I shall stay as long as you and mother live, and when you two are gone I want to go too.” She swallowed a lump that rose in her throat and then ~continued: “As for this legacy that you have worried about so much. and I am sure has cost you a good deal, it is yours, every penny of it, and wheth- er it is big or little, you are to keep and use it as you need if you love me. You haven’t been yourself for six months, father, and all for this trouble. I have watched you more than you think, and wished many times you had never heard of it.” “So that is what you are thinking of, father, is it?

The sun was getting low, the sea winds that rustled among the scarlet leaved oaks or murmured through the spruce thick- ets had almost fallen away, and just as they came to an Opening where the broad ocean was visible he said: “That’s all right, Telly,” continued Uncle Terry briskly. “I’m glad ye’re doin’ it fer him, fer he’s doin' a good deal fer us.” “Yes. he wrote me he was finishing a couple of sketches he made here. and wanted to have me paint them for him. They are the ones I am working on now.” “Ye’ve had a couple 0’ letters from him sense he went back, hain’t ye?” he asked finally. “I noticed they was in his writin’."

He told stories of the sea, of storm and ship- wreck and curious experiences that had come to him during the many years he had dwelt beside the ocean, and while Albert listened, stealing occasional glances at the sweet faced girl whose eyes were bent upon her sewing, the neighboring waves kept up their mono- tone, and the fire sparkled and glowed with a ruddy light. Later, when ithey were all gathered about the fire; both the “wlmmin folks" with their sewing and Uncle Terry en- joying one of the cigars Albert had brought him, the old man’s face gleam- “I put yer things in yer room," said Uncle Terry, and, handing him a lamp, he added, “ye know what ’tis now, I hope; so make yerself t' hum."
