Well, FAITH she hesit1icd, standing
there trying to muster her mi d to
the needle. and it ended by her TAX
ing tho eoral. though don't believe
she returned dc pearls ; but we uoue
of us ever saw them afterwards.
We had been talking in a pretty
low tone, because mother was asleep;
and Just as she d finished the otl,cr
ear, and little drop Of blood stood ~
on il like a i've ruby the door opened
and Dau and Mr.. Gabticl came in,
There never was pretiier picture
than Faith at that moment, and so The
young stranger thought, for be stared
at her, smiling and AT ease. just as II
she'd been hung in a gallery md he'd
bought a ticket. 50 then he sat down
and repeated 70 Dan and mother wIat
she'd told NE aud he promisedto send
for tie papers 10 prove il all. But he
never did send for them, DELAYING
and delaying till the summer wore
away aud perhaps there uera such
papers and perhaps there were Mt.

TO old Miss Deyercux's best chany,
her six silver spoons, and her sur

So The days passed, and the greater
part of every ore Mr. Gabriel was
dabblng in the water somewhere
There wasn't brook within ten miles
that he didn't empty Of trout. for Dan
knew the woods rs well as the shores,
and lie knew the clear nights when
the insects can keep free from the
water 20 that the next day the fish
ire hungry to the surface and so
sometimes in tie brightest Of May
Moons they'd bril g home a string Of
those beauties, sPeck. ed with little
tongues of flame; AID Mr.. Gabriel
wouLi have them cooked, and make Us
all taste Of them, for we don't care
much for that sort, down here on the
Flats; We should think We were fam
Ished, ii we had to eat fish. And
then they'd lie in wait ai day for the
darting picherel IN The little Stream Of
Shadows above; aud when il came
June, up the river he went trolling for
bass, and he used ii different SORT Of
bait from the re Il, bass won't bite

great foriy-poundcrs, And sometimes
in the afternoons be took out Faith
and me, for, as Faith would 90, wIleth-

used to try and gel some Of the other

low well-met With every body, and was
cycrybody's fayoriie, and il vas known
all round how he found oat Faith, and
that alone made him so popular. thar
do believe, II he'd only taken out nat

to General Court. And then il grew
time for the riser-mackerel, and they
