John Sccor, an invalid gentleman
seeking restoration OF health and
the recreations of fishing and hunt
ing. Here, too, he parted with his
guides from New York, closing his
contract with them at that place.
Here Twec'i was joined by the per-
son who is known us Hunt in the re-
poi is of his subsequent arrest. This
man was Florida guide, aud with
him Tweed spent long time in the
interior, camping out, hunting and
fishing. Subsequently he returned
to St. AuguStin, which place he lett
in Il fishing smack for Cuba, and he
and his companion Hunt landed ten
miles outside the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba.
The remainder of the story is de-
voted to an account OF Tweed's
adventures in Cuba, his subsequent
sailing for Spain, the arrest at Vigr,
and return to the United States.

| "Rilla, you know how l toiled
over that picture; it cut me to the
heart to have her say anything like
that"
"Never mind" replied Rilla lie
Brunt, cheerily. "Do You know,
Tve more than half Il fancy she's des
perately jealous Of your paints and
brushes:"
"Rosy Goldey jealous of my paints
and brushes, how absurd! What
reason has she for imagining for u
moment that | think more of all my
colors put together than do of the
tiniest lock OF hair Oh her darling
head?"
"Have you ever told her you low
ed her?"
"Why, no., and the great honest
eyes opened, in surprise. What's
the use? She knows it,"
ssHow?''
"Haven't paid her the closest at
tention these three years?"
"And left her in the dark as to
your intentions. Roth, l was afraid
of this. You're doing wrong. No
wonder poor, kitteny Rosy scratch
es-'
a summons from junior members
Of the family took Rilla away and
left Roth to work in the human fig
urc, and work out the problem of his
position.
That picturesque girl-igure sitting
by the roadside was Rosy's own.-
She recognized it on that instant:
knew well that jaunty hat with its
clover wreath, that plum purple
dress, and the gray shawl with scar
let tringes trailing over those sun
kissed rocks. She knew, also, tn At
Roth WAS bent cn pleasing. her, and
she determined not to be pleased.
"If the picture suits me | may take
1t out in pictures" she thought; then
seizing on the first objection that pre-.
sented, said: "Ma, give me pencil
want to write under it, alone and
from home.' There's not even the
peak of Il chimney in the distance, or
!. curl of spoke to prove that this sol
ltary old lady has a roof to shelter
her"
"The kittens claws again. re-
hected Rothwick, and never winc-
ed"
"Rose Goldey, I'm absolutely
ashamed of you! After all Rolh's
kindness, too" exclaimed Aunt Clar-
issa, warmly. "Oid lady, indeed
It's yourself you ungratetul child,
and you're in Il perfect paradise"
"Iardise wasn't made tor one,'
answered Rosy, and could have bit
ten her tongue off the mex moment.
"Rosy, you're right" spoke mp
Rothwick, manfully. "Paradise was
certainly never made for one. There
were two in it to begin with. Sup
pose, now, l paint Il cottage just
where this road loses itself, and sup
pose l await you there, will you rise
and come? Say, Rosy, ,ose of my
heart, will you come to brighten my
heart and home?"
Mrs. Goidey overturned the piano
stoon, while Aunt Clarissa made the
scwing.machine fairly dance, and
Rosy's answer came under cover OF
a rumble and clatter like the fire
of mimic musketry. From what
happened afterward, infer that ii
was satisfactory to all concerned.
1t was. Roy Goldey's nineteenth
birthday. The picture, restored to
its original form and COLOR, tangle
of sky, forest, fern, lake and flower,
hung against her chamber WALL
Aunt Clarissa had just added pair
OF scarlet tassels, and Mrs. Goldey
