confined to the upper ten. Ihave heard
of young Patagonian squaw who was
Gs finished au adept at it as any Belgra-
Wan beauty; and Faith, m only child
and the prettiest girl in AmIwch, had
been wonderfully fond OF trying h9r
fascnations on the weaker" sex, tIll
the arrival of new first mate for her
fathers fayorite vessel, the We sci he
had commanded himself until he was
admitted to partnership in the firm OF
Denbigh & Co., his employers. Kyle
Grifliths, big as giant, true as the
light of day, and masterful as he said
himself, had "cut ont" all the rest III
no time, and won Faith for his own un,,
divided property. She never even cared
to look at any one else when he was by
and, ] believe, loved HIM as entlrely MS
was in her nature, with most worshlptul
affection but when Kyle was away ac
sea, and young Mr.. Denbigh came to
Amlwch Mr.. Denbigh, who was what
she called a gentleman, some one VINO
wore fine clothes, and had white hands,
and curly mustache-and when tins
hero testified an immediate and violent
admiration for herself, how could sho
help being pleased? how could she help
going back to the old habits?
She did not help, either. Mr. Den
high made love; and she smiled ana
Airted, all unconscious in her tlattered
vanity of what the neighbors were say
ing, until, Just three days before kyIe'S
return, the suitor brought matters to
crisis by a declaration. They had
tiff about photo of Faith, which Den
biph had stolen and put in his locket
and he had brought her a fine goll
locket with one of himself IN 1t, an'
begged her to accept it and take th'
donor into the bargain. -. ,.,,
Followed wakening for silly httl'
Faith, and the confession, " But IN

Followed anger (from the gentleman
and tears Cfrom the LADY,.
Followed fresh solicitations, more az
dent from the rebuff, and resh y noes,
more feeble from remorse aud shame
Followed tremendous scenes OF mas
culine woe and anguish, and fem'hln
contrition and soothing.
Finally, Donbigh left the house. d'
termined to try again, on his retnr
from America and Faith RENAME
with the loclet, which she had at la'
consented to keep and wear, as SON
} small salve to the giver's wounded aile'

r than his rival; but Philip Denblg
