And the next instant we we're both
struggling in the kissing b.ine.
A minute later and we were Chamber

passed on deck, where we were obliged
to pause, our passage being cut off by
the destruction OF the main deck from

It was but the work or minute to

the wreck Of the spar, while the charred
weather rigging had fallen in such
manner as afforded it protection against
injury from the feet of those who must
have passed and repassed the spot in the
hurry and excitement of abandonment.
Hunter clasped the child in his arms,
and, spurning all my proffers of aid,
preceded me to the taffraii by the same
dangerous path we had previously trod-

Oo1Iou, LIS eaiS TO the gentle fopfOacn-
es of his over-worked wife. He had fol-
lowed in the track of his father because
no other had been pointed out to him.
and now his boys cared nothing for him;
they were anxious for the dav to
come that would give the right to leave
him.
Lying there in the sweet-scented hay
he saw very plainly the mistake he had
made, and resolved to retrieve it as far
as possible. What would life be to him
without his boys? Oh, he must not, he
could not let them go. f4
Burning with new resolutions, he
made an effort to free himself, and at
last succeeded in working his feet and
hands loose. Then he went slowly down
the stairs and stood on the threshold of
the barn just as the boys drove up with
the second load of hay. They looked
tired and warm, and Fred was tanning
himself with his straw hat.
"Why, father" cried Harry, in sur
prise, "back already -

"You haven't had a-a-sunstroke have

when throwing in the first load.
Yes, l have-a kind of suustroke.
But never mind that. I've changed nv
mind bout those Horribles, boys. IF it
amt too late you can go now"
The boys looked at each other in as
constituent.
It's the sunstroke," said Fred under
his hrnash.
