In her dreams that night, when the ball
was over and the dancers dispersed, Miss
Dare saw herself the Countess Of Moon
ington; and II any thoughts visited her
sisters slumbers. am disposed to fancy
that they were principally relative to Jim
Lawlesse.
| beautiful morning. two or three days
after the club ball: Ryde was thinning
gradually; but among the visitors who
remained were Sir Hedworth Dare, bis two
daughters, the Hon. Sam. Moonington, and
Jim Lawlesse, the latter Of whom still /
waited the return Of his friend, the pro-
prietor of the Sea-Fan."
Sir Hedworth Dare was going 20 take |
mornings sail in bis yacht the Petrel.n
Ills two daughters were coming, and they |
were to be accompanied by Mr.. incoming |
ton. The Baronet had noticed something
of the events Of the ball-night, and Mr..
James Lawlesse was disereetly omitted
from the party.
Kate Dare was passionstely fond Of the
sea, and was herself an excellent oar. She
had told Jim as much the other night.
She could not imagine, she said, any life
more perfect then the yachtman's; and it
must be allowed that the existence Is not
without its attractions. II you study iu-
dependence, you realize 1t 10 degree pos
. sible under no other circumstances You
go from place to place according TO your
{ own sweet will. The instant that senti-
| ment Of boredom commences to creep over
5 you your anchor is weighed and the scene
IL changed. Hotels may charge prohibitoIy
, prices, lodging-house keepers may drive
t their inmates to distraction what care
e you2 All that hotels, and all that lodg-
ings could supply you have close at hand
d ready to your beck and call.
n Sir Hedworth's party were on board the
J. "Petrel," and the yacht was just about to
" slip her moorings.
: "Where's Kate, Edith 2" inquired tho
/ baronet, not seeing his youngest daughter
It on deck.
"Oh, down in the cabin, papa--I sup
g pose"
e These last two words were added In q
u somewhat lower tone, and as she said them
q Edith rather blushed. She sat down, how
ever, presently, next TO Mr.. bloomington,
and was soon making the running at a
ia speed not less than that of the good yacht
" "Petrel" ....
:: "Tcll Kate to come up" said Sir He'd
Dr. worth, after he had leisure to think oil
ar other things than certain matters Of purely
,t nautical Importance ;and Edith Dare called
r Tor her sister down the companon-ladder.
es Receiving no answer, she descended into
a. the cabin.
SO "Papa," she said, on returning, " | don't
ir see Kate at all. | suppose at the last
minute she made up her mind not tC
IN come"
v. This was not exactly the truth. Editf
lis Dare had determined from the first that
m Kate should not be amongst the party, anC
as to this end she had managed to divert hel
hit attention to something else at the moment
is. they were leaving the house. Sir He'd
worth was not satisfied with tue explana
ly ton. and knit his brow. His yOungel
d. daughter was his favorite, and, not beinl
IT. blind to the character of the elder, he did
he in plain truth, suspect something OF th'
ke ruse that had been executed; but he sait
ge. nothing, and the "Petrel" went on.
d. Some person else had selected the presen
at morning as n favorable one for sail, AM
er- that was Jim Lawlesse. He had taken n
,er companion, and was talking abstractedl
his TO the master of the "Sea-Fan." Th
IN regulation telescope was suspended fror
nut his neck, and something impelled him t
nd look through it in the direction of wha
