of the guests would be leaving.
Mr.. Tracey was only too glad to Sc
cure a sleeping-plac of any kind, so
the arrangement was made, and with "a
mind relieved, he repaired 10 the beach
aud the society of the ladies.
That was blissful evening 10 Mr..
Willis Tracey When he had paid
some proper attention TO Mrs. Tracey
and her daughter, and attended them
TO the supper table, he was at liberty
To seek the society Of his charmer. the
fair Juliette.
With her plumb. white arm resting
on his and her blue, languishing eyes
ever and anon CHANGING up into his
own, while her soft low voice mingled
with the murmur of the ripples at their
feet. they wandered away up the moon

Mr.. Tracey. shy and inexperienced
in the lovers role. had carefully
thought over and fixed in his mind all
that ne had TO say. He had got as far
as mo mans life Is satisfied without

opportunity for concluding his love
story. And he wondered at Julictte's
patience and sweetness. and felt more
than ever anxious TO secure for life

After bidding his fair companion
goodnight. he sauntered about a little
until the obliging linen mistress could
show him TO his closet-which she did
with many warnings to keep quiet and
not let his presence in this part OF the
house become known.
The place was more convenient than
he had expected. but he had scarcely
disposed himself for nights rest
when he became conscious of voices on
the other side of the door against which
his cot was placed.
He tried not TO hear, but the speak
ers were close To the door. and the
mention OF his own name attracted his
attention.
