During the midnight tempest which
prevailed on Friday, the barge Lor-
raine, laden with sand, was swamped
on the bar at the mouth of the Oakland
Creek. The Captain was the only liv-
ing soul aboard. He left the sinking
craft in his small boat. but this soon
upset. Being an expert swimmer he
saved his life by reaching another YES
sci some distance away from the point
where his boat capsized. He lost q
quantity of clothing and other valua-
bles, including number of small dogs.

Elinor-there are better things than

"Auntie, if I am consistent in any
thing it is in my adherence of mis-
sionaries," said; besides, there is
nothing better in this world than a
new bonnet, and next spring intend
to have two, in order to recompense
myself for this seasons self-denial. "
The fifty dollar bill was enclosed
in. a sheet of paper, upon which I had
written, ITO Mr.. Santley, from the
author of Leonora d. Verney, =
then the whole was slipped into an
envelope and taken by myself to the
Post Office. After mailing it, I walk
ed slowly homeward, stopping to fat
ten my nose against milliners' win
dows and speculate on the possibility
of amending and revising my old
bonnet;. then, when Twas thoroughly
chilled, went home and gave myself
up to the pleasure of abhorring Mr..
santley-and wishing I had my fifty
dollars, or rather his, back again.
A week later, sat on the rug in
front of the fire, resting myself after
desperate conflict with my obstinate
old bonnet, which, in spite of all my
endeayors, had defed all chance and
change.
Looking into the blazing CRATE, I
fell to thinking of Alr. santley-it
was shameful, but l couldnot help it,

refused to keep pace with my liking.

not possible, unless resorted to un
amiability; and 1 kept all my pep
periness for Aunt Lucy. So We
walked and talked, or rather he
talked, and later in the evening,
watched him devour oysters ane

tite, while the jelly with which, =

wondered, trying to put Yes and No
into The places where they belonged,
as Mr.. santley went on talking.
az shall see you again?" ques-
toned Mr.;Santley at parting, and
Aunt Lucy responded graciously,
while I said under my breath, "Never,
If I can avoid itl'
In pursuance of my resolution I
shut myself up for three days, seeing
nobody but my aunt, who cheered
me with offerings Of sage tea, and
disquisitions on the. weak constitution
and general good-for-nothingnes os
the girl ef the period. At the end
of that time I came forth from seclu-
sion, trusting that Mr.. Santley-
having fshed to his hearts content
had hidden Meadow Brook adieu,
and gone back to the study of social
science.
But, as I sat on the doorstep that
evening, over cherries and watching
the kitten unravel Aunt IIucy's knit
ting. to my horror I saw Mr.. santley
coming up the walk. Seating HIM
self beside me and taking a great
handful of cherries, he proceeded to
tell me what be had been doing for
the past three days-growing enthu-
siastic over his good luck in fishing.

"I shall spend my entire vacation
