Pearson gave a light laugh at this,
and tl:c girl shrank farther from him.
ITO give up dear Paul she thought,
SIS enough to break my heart, but to
become the wife Of this man makes the
sacrifice unhearable."
She felt all her old loathiug of him

the question, she would thousand
times rather have gone to deaths en-
brace than his.

"But you see. Louise, that would not

it. You would not want them to know
it,"
"No, would not" she said. "But

as Louise spoke she kneeled before
him, and with clasped hands and
streaming eyes begged 'piteously for

with a shake Of his head, replied:

pose. You can marry me and insure
the welfare Of those you love, or you
can refuse me and let them take the
consequences.
Without another word Louise arose,
and in silence they walked back. Pear
son stopped only long enough to admon-
ish Louise that she must positively de-
eide by the morrow, then mounted his
horse and rode away to Magic City. He
knew what her decision would be, and
felt secure Of his prey-as secure OF it
as though he had it already within his
Grasp. He knew that Louise would not
sacrifice her parents.

Louise spoke in pleading tones, and
her sad words and her yet sadder face
ought 70 have touched q heart OF stone,
but they had 10 effect On Pearson other
than TO confirm him in his purpose.

YOU the alternative, and leave you free
to choose us you wish. You can be-
come mine and save your parents, or
you can refuse my offer and submit to
the consequences.
Having spoken thus Pearson arose
and walked to and fro along the bank,
while Louise sat buried in sorrow aud
doubts That was the most trying hour
Of her sad life She knew only too
well the awfui doom that hung over her
poor parents, and her heart bled for
them. She pictured to herself her
loved father clad in convict's garb and
locked up for years in a terrible prison,
for crime save that of trying to pro-
vide bread for his starving wife and
child. She pictured her mother's~eriei
and death, which she knew would fol.
low her fathers arrest. She pictured
all the misery and suffering that would
come with the laws enforcement, and
she became sick at heart.
NO, no." she said, that must not,
shall not be if can prevent it. will
make any sacrifice to save my loved
ones"
Then on the other hand she thought
Of Paul, and up from the past floated
rcmembranccs of TIE happy hours she
had spent with him, and OF the bright
pictures her fancy had painted of the
future when She should bc P;iurs wife.
She recalled al his tender words and
glance. u,!l now in this hour. when
she w;:s ,'::llr,i upon to give him up. she

Pearson returned and stopped before
the girl.

She ;ternpted to run away and hide
some, here from his eyes, but her limbs
refuse to bear her, and with shame, re-
morse and grief gnawing at her heart
she av aited his approach as doomed
man ats the end of his sentence.
Pau sprang from his horse and with
smiling face came forward to greet
his love. He opened his arms expect
ing her to nestle within them, but she
moved not, and looked not at him.
He came up quite close to her and
stopped. He spoke her name softly, but
she made no reply
Louise" he said again, "do you not
know am here?"
Still she neither spoke to him nor
looked at him, but sat with her face
buried in her hands while the tears
streamed through her fingers. Paul was
nonplused completely. lie knew not
what to make OF this reception.
Louise" he continued, after q short
silence. what does this mean? Have
you no welcome for me? VIII you not
speak to me?'
"Oh. Paul. Paul." Louise cried. why
did you come? Why do you stay to
break my heart now? Oh, God! oh,
God! this is more than l can bear"
Her words were SO impassloned, her
manner so vehement, that Paul was
struck with awe He could not under
stand her meaning, and was at loss to
account for such irreconc;lablc conduct
She showed plainly by her tone and
actions that her love for him was not
dead, while by her words she only too
plainly manifested a desire to escape
him. lie knew not what to think of her
what to make of the change in her.
After short silence, he said:
Louise, cannot understand you.
There is something wrong with you,
but am unable to account for it. I
never dreamed that I should receive
such welcome as this on my return to
you Never a day, since left you, has
passed without thoughts of you and
this meeting thronging through my
mind. I have dreamed of it by night.
But never thought we should meet
thus. Louise, tell me what has wrought
this change"
He paused for reply, but none
came. She longed to tell him all and
show to him that her heart was un-
changed, but she dared not. Her lips
must remain sealed, and with great
effort she kept down the longing of her

being turned loose, SO he was paid on
and let 60 on foreign shore. We all
said he wouldn't last long on land, and
he didn't, either Man-of-war's men
seldom do. When one of them steps
over the ships side at the end of his
cruise he raises his right hand to Heaven
and swears that he Is done with the
navy forever and ever mora. But he
usually comes back busted in the morn
ing and wants to ship for another three
years.
Is he taken back r. asked the lubber.
Yes. These old-timers are good
men, and can always find billet. The
captain knows that their career as citi-
zens depends on the length of time it
takes them to get robbed, and their re-
enlistment is only q question Of hours.
Then they are anxious to become sailors
again. An old, experienced tar, who
il acquainted with the WAYS of the
world and the wiles of wicked men and
women, will sometimes last three days
as citizen. But his franchise usually
expires in about twelve hours.
Hogan left us one evening at sun
down with $3.50, his bag of clothes, and
his hammock. The next evening he
stood on the dock in the center of his
earthly possessions, which consisted of
one suit of clothes with the pockets
turned inside out. He had made his
brag that he was done with the navy,
which made him ashamed to come back
to us. So he went and ship ed aboard
of this dago gunboat. Gringos, as the
dagos call white sailors, get big bounty
for shipping and they also receive bet
ter all-around seaman and fighters.
Before Hogan had been week in the
Hauscar he was rated from common
seaman to gunner and put in charge of
big, and he started in to impart to the
dagos what be knew about guns.

Early Rising for women.

Polly Peppers says. In the Amegicun
Home, that early rising wears out women
too fast. 81 notice that our thrifty great
annts and grandmothers had habit OF
dying early and giving their husbands an
opportunity OF leading two or three
biushing brides to the altar. Now, ]
don't propose to leave any chance for my
husband to get any such double or triple
bliss as that. don't intend to have any
other woman walking around in my
shoes, appropriating my kisses and do
ing other disagreeable things which ]
should object to. mean to take care OF
myself SO as to last as long as my better
half. No woman has any business, ordi-
narily, to get up and go TO work at OF
o'clock In the morning. Ii there is
anything In the world that woman
needs 1t is plenty of rest. II she feels
tired and languid in the morning and
hates to get up, it is sure sign that she
is OVERRIDING and wearing out. Six o'clock
is as early as anyone ought to get up and
go to work"

Sunshine I'm London.

From records OF the amount of sun
shine in London kept at the Greenwich
observatory for the last fourteen years il
appears that the darkest month of the
year in London is December, in which
there is total of only twenty hours of
sunshine, or percent. of the possible,
and in which there is an average OF
twenty sunless days. January is but
little better, with twenty-six hours of
sunshine and an average of nineteen
sunless days. February has twice as
much sunshine as January and March
shows an equal improvement on it's pre-
decessor. The brightest day only four
hours of sunshine are to be expected,
while throughout the entire year an
average of sunshine amounting to 1,214
hours, or 81 per cent. of the possible
amount is shown.
