the daring Captain writes BY an in
coming ship (when he is hundreds Of
miles from shorc) that he finds the
'Sapolio' in sea-way is a scrubbcr
but very leaky." No better proof Of his
cootness and pluck could be given.
The start was made at 4:3O Wednes-

Palos, Spain. Capt. Andrews has il.
structions to scour the seas until he
discovers that port and the starting

of that Spanish-Italian advcnturer who
almost failed to cross the great ocean

ing the Queens jewels to pawn and
having the blessing of the Church
thrown in. This Columbus is sailing in
boat which had never been in water
until the hour when he started on his
1900 mile trip. He has been spoken
In mld-Occan several times, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate
success. His effort should interest all
Americans as test Of pluck, endurance
and good seamanship That it is not a
foolhardy affair is proved by his for
mer success and by the notable trip in
which he battled for sixty-two days
without reaching the other side. Thou
sands of people saw the start, his pres
ence at different points on the ocean
has been noted by large numbers Of
vessels, and his landing on the other
side will no doubt be made matter Of
public demonstration and rejoicing. As

men saluted; Miss Carter nodded gay
goodbye and was gone.
Should he.go-and see Hetty? No, he
would stay at home and count the cost
of cultivating those new acres. It
would be much more sensible than
joining that gay party Of city people.
Yet, in spite of his resolution, Nathan
iel was at the Winthrops. He danced
with Miss Vail and Miss johnson and
Eleanor Carter. He asked for dance
with Hetty, but she blushed and told
him her card was full. 1t was only
another excuse, he felt sure, yet Hetty
had always been SO truthful, SO frank.
He went home early, cursing his folly
in not obeying his reason and staying
at home.
The next few days were full of hard
work, and Nathaniels labors were
never half done. He felt grateful for
his unusual strength, his large, WELL
proportioned body, his perfect health.
What more could man ask for than
to be the owner of so many broad
acres, a pleasant home, and plenty to
do, that he must be signing for willful
woman?
One day lamb was missing and Ma
thaniel set out to find it. At last low
bleating came to his keen ears. He
ran on, ind there, down steep ravine,
he saw the missing creature, lame
from its fall and bleating forth its pain
and trouble. In moment he was by
it's side. He had provided himself, as
usual, with ointment and linen. The
legs were treated and bound. He
picked up the trembling creature in his
strong avms and climbed the steep as
cent. When nearly at the top he felt a
sharp wrench. He tried to put the
lamb on a shelving rock, then lost his
footing, and, slipping and falling, help
less with that keen pain in his foot, his
head struck something and he knew no
more.
When Nathaniels consciousness re-
turned he thought at first that he had
entered paradise, for, bending over him,
was Hetty's face, pale and frightened.
She was bathing his head with water.

might be as it was in those delightful

had the wild flowers and ferns grown
as they had when he and Hetty, free

fleet horses, dashed down the road for
canter. Every day was full of
Hetty. His work was planned to give

that she, child as she was, was learn

lived the simplest of lives, and
Hetty had been brought up to
lend a hand to all kinds of domestic
duties. But now since summer board

all was changed. Innocent, Industrious,
simple-hearted Hetty no longer cared
for such quiet, even round of duties
