It 3s not to be. supposed that read- ing, was the only subject whi ot- cupid the time, Some days there were. when the girl would lay. the] book 'down after the recital of a few | paragraphs, and they would wander away from the romance of the Doone' Valley to the nearer romance of home. She was a lover of the water, of the, open spaces and the beauty of nature, and in Frank Westhaver she found a man who had seen and done many things. Unlike the majority of sea-: farers, he retained the impressions of what his eyes had gazed upon, ani had a faculty of simple descriptio which held Miss Denton entranced for many a pleasant hour. His life upon the Banks, the work of the fishery, and tales of the rollicking, dare-devil gangs who manned the vessels of the off-shore fleets, were to her as some- thing entirely new in spite of the fact that she was a Nova Scotian girl and | bred in a seaport town. A strange paradox this, but one which is uni-| versal. People refuse to see the rom-| ance right at their own doors until a stranger comes and opens their eyes. | By the remarks which she was in| the habit of letting fall during these talks, Frank wondered how she came to know so much about his history. He had never told her of his trip in from | Georges in the Fannie B. Carcon, yet| she seemed to know zll about it; the] | rescue of Jake Simms; the happen-| ings of his first voyage as skipper, even to the incident of Jules's escape from a St. Malo fisherman, were be- trayed by her in casual references to the events. When she left, he was in the habit of pondering over their con- versations, and the interest she evine- ed in his past, and in the lambitions; of ls future, led him to ask her a n. "Miss Denton, tell me how you came to kmow. so much. about. things I've done? I don't remember sayin' any- thin* "bout them," dl She laughed in her usual sunny way. | "Ah, so I've let the-eat out of the bag, have 1?. And I thought I was so dip- lomati¢; too!

"So he's th' dog!" | "He's a sterling fellow, Captai she said.

How confident and strong he looked! The sun bronze had faded from his face now, but it glowed with the clear pink of health, and the well arm which lay | over the white sheets was muscular and powerful. How wistful and gentle his eyes were at that moment! The strong chin, determined 'mouth, well- shaped nose, and high forchead wich the silky brown auburn hair streaking across it made up the features of just such a man as she would imagine had done the things she had heard, and al {man who would be no quitter in the face of dangér. And hé Was no com-, mon man with but the endowments of strength and iron nerve to com- mend him. She knew him better than that, and in their many conversations she was able, from the standpoint of a well-educated and clever young wo- man, to fathom the thoughts which ran in the young fisherman's mind, Frank turned suddenly and spoke with a half-smile on his face, {Do you know," 'he. said, "I'll be really sorry to get well again.
