Please forget I said it.” Then she told him her own brief history, and at last, after much coaxing, a little of the one sorrow of her life. “Now I know ” he said, "why you avoided speaking about the picture of the wreck the first time I came here.” Then in a moment he added. “Telly, I want you to give it to me and let me take it away. I want it for two rea- sons. One is, it gave me the first hint of your life's history. And then I do not want you to look at it any more.’ â€"vv 7' â€".â€"- ' “You matâ€"yw have it,” she vanswered, smiling sadly. “It was foolish of me to paint it.” - A. __ ___â€"‘_A When the sun was low and they were ready to return he sald, “Promise me, sweetheart, that you will try to forget all of your past that is sad and think only of us who love you and to whom your life is a blessing.” C ", _‘A m--â€" vâ€"â€" That evening he noticed Uncle Terry occasionally watched her with wistful eyes, and, as on the evening neIore, both he and Aunt Lissy retired early. “They wish me well," Albert thought. The next day Uncle Terry proposed that Telly should drive to the head of the island in his place. ‘uv --'“â€"- “I'm sori'y ye-must leave us, Mr. Page,” he said when Albert was ready to bid the old folks goodby. “I wish allus out fer ye.” . When the old carryall had made half its daily journey Albert pointed to a low rock and said, “There is a spot I , shall always be glad to see, for it was ' there Uncle Terry first found me.” I Telly made no answer. In fact, she‘ had said but little since they started. When they reached the little landing no one else was there. No house was l in sight of it, and the solitude was‘ broken only by the tide that softly. caressed the barnacied piles of the :l wharf and the weed covered rocks on 1 either side. No boat was visible 1 ’ adown the wide reach that separates . I Southport island from the mainland, and up it came a light sea breeze that barely rippled the flowing tide and whispered through the brown and scar- let leaved thicket back of them. Over all shone the hazy sunlight of October. Telly stood listening and hoping that the boat would be late. A look of sad- expressive eyes. “I am sorry you are going,” she said. “It is so lonesome here, and it will seem more so now.” Then, as if that was a confession he might think nnmaidenly, she added, “I dread to have the summer end, for when winter comes the rocks all around seem like so many tombstones." “'0‘ 00 000. “000' 0 '0 00 O I ‘00... 0000 0.. 00000‘0 .00 0.000.. :00. .0 O. .0 ‘0000500. 000 0000 .000 00 0000000 to..." 000V000 000 00.0000\0 I0 00 0000050 00‘00000000000M 00.00 ‘Hm; 00 0000000000‘000n0000\0m0.000.0 Iv I 00 Albert put out his hand as it that i would aid his appeal, and as his fln- I gers closed over hers he said: “I am ! going away with a heavy heart, Telly, ' and when I can come back is hard to 1 say.

Will you, Telly?” But the plaintive face was turned away, perhaps to hide the tears. Then an arm stole around her waist, and as he drew her close she whispered, “When I am no longer needed here, if you want me then I will come to you.” She was sobbing, her head resting on his shoulder, and as he kissed her uno resisting lips a boat’s sharp whistle been crying.” When her misty eyes could no longer see the boat that bore her heart away, she turned, and ' all the long, lonely way back leve’s tears lingered en her m “Oh, no, no; I cannot E mountains around Sand- ute 'were alarm: with the scarlet and gold of autumn More 111. ”cued quit. u to Alice rue.

Occ:at-'I sionally, when he referred to his hearti hunger and how hard he was studying‘ in hopes that she might think betterl of him, she wished that he had no; purse proud and haughty mother to stand between him and a 9901‘ Kit), and be: next letter would be more chilly than ever. What perhaps was a bitter sweet thought was the fact that the colder she answered him the warmer his next letter would be. He happened to mention once that his mother had spoken of a certain young lady, who belonged to the cream of Boston so- ciety, as an eligible match and advised him to show her a little attention. It did not help his cause. How grateful she was all through those melancholy autumn days that she had a large school to absorb her thoughts. She was having a long and hard fight with her own feelings, and imagined she had conquered them when Thanksgiving time drew near and her brother announced he would run up and spend the day with her. She almost cried for joy at the news, for proud spirited Alice Page was feel- ing very heart hungry when the letter came. Albert was just a little surpris- ed at her vehement welcome. “Oh, I have been so lonesome, Ber- tie,” she said when they were alone, “and the evenings drag by so slowly! Then you do not write me as often or such nice letters as formerly, and Aunt Susan never seems to notice that I am blue. If it were not for my school I should go crazy, I think.” ”-V'C- ' vâ€" v- v ’ “I am very busy these days, sis,” Albert replied, “and my mind is all taken up with work. Mr. Nason’s business is increasing, and I have many ‘ clients besides him.” Then he added, “How did you like Blanch Nason?” “Oh, she was very nice," replied Alice coolly, “and if she were a poor girl and lived here I could easily learn to love her. As it is, it is useless for me to think of her as a friend. it was good of her to pay me a visit, though. and I enjoyed every minute of it.” , "And what about Frank? Did he 1 not say a lot of sweet things to you?" Alice colored. “Oh, he is nice enough," she answer- : ed, “and tried to make me believehe . had fallen in love with me, but it won’t ‘ do any good. I am sure his managing : mamma will marry him to some thin girl with atat purse.” - _!...l k‘nmn v “So that is the yyay the 1"?“ blows. my sweet sister, is it?

I need a typewriter even now." â€" ‘33:); 'Qh-at will Aunt Susan think of the change? And it will be such a change for her!” “She will get used to it,” he an- Iwered. Then, as Alice began to realize what it meant to bid goodby to the scenes of her childhood, the old home, the great trees in front, the broad meadows, the brook that rippled through them, the little church where every one greeted her with a smile, and tin: grand old hills that surrounded Sandgate’s peaceful valley, her heart began to sink. Then she thought of the pleas- ant woods where she had so often gone nutting in autumn. the old mill pond wherecvery summer since baby- hood she had gathered lilies, and even those buretooted school children of hers. “I shall dislike to go, after all," she said at last, “but perhaps it is best. I shall be homesick for a spell, but: then I shall have you.” Then she rose and like a big baby crept into her brother’s lap, and, tucking her sunny head under his chin, whispered: “Oh. if you were never going to be married, Bertie, I would leave it all and try to be contented. I could come up here every summer, could 1‘ not?" Then she added disconsolately: “But you will get married soon. Your beau- tiful island girl will not keep you waiting so long.” vv vv-"__v “No sweethgart and-no wife shall ever lessen my love for you, Alice. who have been my playmate, my com- panion and my confidant all my life.” __;_._ -._--_ hnl. dusnnnann fhfl “1‘0- vaulvu “a“ â€" . When they. had discussed the pro-l posed step in all its bearings for a half hour Albert said: “Come, now, sis, sing a little for me. I am hungry to hear you once more.” She complied willingly, and, as the piquant voice of Alice Page trilled the list from “Lily Dale” to “Suwanee River” and back to “Bonny Eloise” and “Patter of the Rain,” Albert lazi- ly pufled his pipe and lived over his boyhood days. When the concert was ended be ex- claimed: “1 will look around before Christmas and see what kind of a flat can be found, and then when your school closes you must come down and visit me and see how you like Boston.” “Oh, that yill be just del_ightful,1 only you nfilst firomisé not to tell the‘ “But if they find it out Blanch and Frank would feel bitterly hurt,” he replied. “Remember, they did you the honor of coming up here to visit you, and Blanch has said to me several times that she hoped you would visit her this winter.” “I should love to,” replied Alice, hes- itating, “butâ€"well, I will tell you what we can (loâ€"we will wait until the day vvâ€"v beforenl 3m to return; and then we can call there one evening. They need not know how long I have been in Bos- ton.” When morning and departure came Albert said: “I will do as you wish, sweet sister, and unless some of the Nasons should meet us at a theater I imagine it will work all right, only it is a little rough on Frank.” ever and avoié “I'm ready HE proposed change did not seem to disturb Aunt Susan much, although Alice noticed _ m that she was more quiet than ever and avoided that subject. “I’m ready an’ willin’ to go if you think best,” she said, “an’ I’ll do my best as long as I can.

It may have been the sad face of her aunt that brought the irresolution, or a feeling that meeting Frank would reawaken the little heartache she had by her brother. “I have not told Frank.” Albert ex- :laimed, “and shall not let them know you are here until we call. I want you to myself for a few days, because after Frank knows you are here I am sure to be one too many most of the time." uvno nn hia annmmt- vou’ll not be,” UV ‘1‘: vâ€"' f‘Not on his account, you’ll not be," replied Alice with a snap. What u gallant escort was, and what a change from the dull monotony of her home life those days were to Alice. VD- -v They visited art galleries mornings, and devoted the afternoons and even- lugs to theaters; then usually a tete- a-tete supper at a cozy place where the best was to be had, and a little chat in his or her room before retiring. It was during one of these brief visits that she noticed some of the picture. that hung in his room. -I. “Why, this is by E. T. too,” she ex- claimed. And turning to her brother she repeated. “Who is E. T3!” ' “Weill,” he' answered, “I will take you down to the island some time and introduce you to her. She will be glad to meet my sister, you may be cer- tain." Then the brief history or this girl, as her brother had told it, came to her. “So that was the wreck she floated ashore from, was it, Bert? And can she paint like that? Why, I am as- tonished! And who is the girl leaning tvutlauwâ€" - _____ on the rock? “What an exquisitely molded figure and what a pretty pose! Who 13 she ?” ‘V “V out: wâ€"vv “That is your possible sister-in-law," answered Albert, with a touch of pride, “and the pictures were done by her from sketches I first made myself. They are true to life so far as all de. tails go, only I failed to catch her ex- pressive face in the one that shows a front view of her.” “So that was the way you wooed your island goddess, was it?” observed Alice, with a roguish look. “Made her “IILC’ V'LI.” u sv.--â€"_ ---___, pose for a sketch while you said sweet things to her.

Remember, she has been hidden on an island all her life, and I doubt if she ever had a picture taken.” “And when will you take me to see her? I am so anxious to meet this fairy of the shore who has stolen my brother’s heart. Can’t we go down there before I return home?” VDV I'vâ€"â€"â€" we’d better wait until spring.” The next day he informed her he had secured a box at a theater for that evening and had invited the Nasons to join them. “I thought it would relieve your mind a little, Alice,” he added, “to meet your bogy on neutral ground.” I_- ing the haughty specter Alice had con- Jured up. That a country schoolma’am was proud enough to discourage her son’s attentions because of the differ- ence in their positions awakened her curiosity. “I should like to meet Miss Page,” she said to Blanch when the latter hadasked if she might invite her to visit them. “A girl that shows the apirit she does is certainly worth cul- tivating.” 011' '- When Alice’s cool but polite note reached Mrs. Nason she was piqued to even a gre‘ater degree of curiosity, and when Albert’s courteous letter invit- vv â€"â€"__ ing “Mrs. Nason and family to share a box at the theater for the purpose or meeting my sister” was received she returned a cordial acceptance hy bear- er. To Alice the proposed meeting was a source of dread, and when the car- riage called for Albert and herself she was in an excited state of mind. They had barely taken their seats in the box when the usher knocked, and Blanch, followed by the rest of the family, en- tered. That young lady greeted Alice with an effusive kiss. and the next in- stant she found herself shaking hands with a rotund and gray haired lady of dignified hearing. but of kind and courteous manner. An introduction to Edith followed, and then Frank ac- knowledged her polite “How do you do, Mr. Nason?” with his very best Mrs. Nason began chatting with Alice in the pleasantest way and with seemingly cordial interest in all she said, while Blanch kept quiet and Edith devoted herself to Albert. It was after the second curtain when Mrs. Nason said: “I must insist that you divide your visit with us, Miss Page, and allow us to return a little of your hospitality. Of course I under- stand that your brother comes first. and rightly, too, but we must claim a part of your time." his suntan“ that." Then, for the first time, Blanch put in her little word: “Now, do not otter your brother as an excuse. I have been anticipating your promised visit for a long time, and no brother is go- ing to rob me of it. I shall come around tomorrow forenoon, and it you are not ready to go back WM) me, bag and baggage, I will just take your baggage, and then you will have to come." “I do not see why you cannot see your brother and visit with him just as well at our house,” put in Mrs. Nason. “He is always welcome there.” Alice turned to her brother, remark- ing, “It is nice of you to insist, and I am more than grateful, but it must be as he says.” Then she added prettily, “lie is my papa and mamma now, and the cook and captain bold and mate of the Nancy brig as well.” ‘.

At the Top of the Ladder. A woman whose acquaintance with the methods and opportunities of work in a modern newspaper office is of the slightest was talking to a friend about her son’s start in life. The young man had Just left college and had secured a position as reporter on one of the im- portant New York dailies in the bum- ble capacity which is the usual lot of the “cub” journalist, that of a police court reporter. His mother was enthu- siastic over his good fortune. -.‘---r'â€"' v . “Do you knhw." she exclaimed. “they’ve given him such a splendid poâ€" sition.

The human ape of the Hippodrome is not without its parallel in former days. An eighteenth century chronicle tells us that in 1738 “a most uncommon creature was brought from Carolina. It was a female, whose height was about four feet and in every part. formed like a woman except the head. which nearly resembled an ape. .She walked upright and sat down to her food and fed herself as a human crea- ture. It was supposed to be the female of the creature which is called chim- panzee, or the mock man.” A charm- ing touch is added in the remark, “She expressed great respect for a boy who l was on board the ship with her and seemed very unhappy at his absence.” -â€"London Globe.
