who could hardly believe that so great
a piece of good fortune had befallen
them.

RULED into flashing whitecaps by the
strong breath of the trade wind. Back
of the beach stood a dense grove of
graceful of trees
On the ground lay scores of the
great, brown, ripened cocoanuts of so
little value in that tropic land that no
one cared to pick them up. They were
protected by tough three-cornered
hus1s SO thick as to more than double
their actual size.
On one of them, tursed on end, sat a
boy wearing a broad brimmed, high
crowned hat of palmetto braid. His
face, generally bright and happy, was
clouded as he sat, with elbows on his
knees, resting his chin in his hands.
and gazing out over the glinting wa
tiers.
The month was March, and the
beach was that of one of those low
cut fertile Florida keys that form the
southernmost limit of United States
territory.
The boy was Johnny Albury, com
monty called Crit, to distinguish him
from the many other John Alburys of
that region.
For many years, while he was wild
over, Mr.. Albury had only occupied
his home on the key at long intervals,
spending most of his time with his boy
snd girl, Grit and Matey, on board the
schooner Polyanthus, wrecking, spong-
ing, fishing, while waiting for his
cocoanut grove to come into bearing
and, as he finally hoped, yield him an
income.
This life proved a very happy one for
all three, and it was sad day for the
children when it was ended by the APP
pearance of stepmother, who, coming
from inland on the mainland, had no
knowledge of, nor love for, boats or
the water.
Mr. Albury was persuaded to clear
land and put in crop Grit weeded

Satin ties that have become soiled

Black flowers are the latest things for
hats.
The woman who loves to wear bows
may crafty her fondness to its fullest
extent this spring, for they are allowed
by fashion to an almost unlimited eX-

The most fashionable ribbons are
MORE antique with satin stripe down
the center, and plain MORE ribbons
spangled with jet sequins in wavy lines.
Wide-ribbed pique is one of the most
popular fabrics for cotton gowns. They
come in pale colors as well as white,
and are made up in fanciful styles,
trimmed deliberately with lace and rib

Something new is the plain black

mother the other day, for they make

The best brush for velvet is per-
fectly new hare's foot, such as is sold
for the application of face powders and,
next to this, a tight roll of soft threaded
cloth, frayed out for two or three inches.
All rugs when shaken should be
handled by the middle, not by the ends.
Lamp glasses that have become badly
stained by smoke can be cleaned by
rubbing with common salt.
The latest caprice in hairdressing is
the bowknot. The hair is made into
bow, is set high on the head and is APP
parently held in place with a tortoise
shell dagger. The front hair is parted
in demure fashion and arranged in
light curls on the forehead.
Skirt waists of pongee silk in the
natural ecru shades are imported to
wear with blazer suits. For wear with
navy blue suits the waists are briar-
stitched with navy blue silk. A navy
blue necl1tie and a belt with pearl
buckle give further dainty effect

tomatoes and hated them. Matey was
made to sew and do housework-while
both children were taught to read and
write.
Now they had very little of the sail
ing that they so dearly loved, and for
which they longed; for Mrs. Albury
could see no good in boats.
When the father was lost at sea in
the dreadful hurricane that nearly
swept away their home as well, Mrs.
A lbury's aversion to boats became so
bitter that she declared she would sell
the Polyanthus to the first person who
would offer one hundred dollars for her.
But, mother, one hundred dollars is
a ridiculous price for a fine boat like
the Poly" urged Grit "She can make
that in a single month -
She never has since | have known
anything about her." replied Mrs. AL
bury.
No, for she hasn't had chance.
You just let me take her and I'll show
you how much she can make"
And be drowned like your poor IA
Their, and leave only me and Matey to
tend the crop No, indeed, you are too
valuable to waste that way. l need
you ashore, and so do the tomatoes
They'd bring in more money than any
boat that ever was built, you see if
they won't"
Now the fatal day had nearly ar.
rived. A man from Key West had
sent word that he was coming to look
at the Polyanthus, and would proba-
bly, buy her if she proved as repre-
sented
He might appear at any moment,
and that was the reason why Grit"
Albury sat gazing sadly at the dear
boat on that glorious March afternoon,
instead of gathering the last of the to-
mato crop that was expected to realize
two hundred dollars.
As the boy slowly rose to return to
his work there came sound of flying
feet, and Matey's voice was heard call
ing in joyous tones;
Grit o, Grill mother wants you to

The lad only answered.: "All right,
sister, come along" but sudden reso-
luton, that he did not put into words,
flashed into his mind

had provided sufiiciency of bait, and
a light skiff was dancing merrily out
over the blue waters.
why, Grit! where are you going?"
demanded Matey, as the skiff was
headed directly for the Polyanthus.
''Out to the reef after fish" was the
answer. Mother said fish, but so far
as 1 have heard she didn't say what kind
of fish, and SO, of course, meant the best
fish, such as Spanish mackerel, king
fish, yellow tails or drum"
OF course this was convincing, for
Matey not only dearly loved to sail, but
was firm in her belief that whatever
Grit said or did was right Thus an hour
later saw the little schooner, after run
across the broad Hawk channel, an
chored just inside the great coral reef
that borders the Gulf stream for more
than two hundred miles, and on which
huge breakers were dashing themselves
into showers of glistening spray.
When at length they were ready to
go and attempted to get up the anchor
all their strength on the windlass
failed to bulge it. A fuke had caught
beneath some great bunch of coral, and
with boylike carelessness Grit had neg
lected to provide trip line.
1t was quite dark before he aban-
doned the attempt to recover their an
Choir, and said, cheerfully: Never
mind, Matey, girl. 1t won't hurt us to
stay out here over night, and as soon
as it comes light again I'll dive down
there and see what is the matter. I'm
not going to cut the ca BILE and lose that
brand new anchor unless | have to,
that's sure"
So soundly did they sleep that night
that not until he was flung from his
locker on to the cabin floor did Grit
awaken to the fact that the POLY" was
pitching madly and that the gale was
shrielSing through her taut rigging
There was an instant of quivering
strain. Then something gave way, and
Grit knew what had happened. The
tense cable had parted and they were
heiplessly drifting at the mercy of the
storm.
Minutes passed, and still they swept
on. Suddenly Grit uttered great cry
of relief that was almost sob.
We've passed the breakers We're
clear of the reef! We're out in the
gulf! We're safe, Matey, girl!' he
shouted.
The next change of scene was most
surprising. Daylight had come, the
sun was rising. Before gentle breeze,
with all sail set, the Polyanthus was
approaching a great steamer that had
struck on an outlying spur of the reef
during the binding bewilderment of
the recent squall.

Theophile Gautier's Amusing Mistase-Ris
Good-Natured Host.
A wealthy manufacturer of Sheffield,
Matthewes by name, was an apprecia-
tive member of a London club of clever
men. For though he was not literary
man, he adored literature, and there he
heard it discussed to his hearts con-
tent. One night Theophile Gautier was
the guest of the club, and Mr.. Mat
thieves invited him to dine at the Sails
bury hotel with party of choice
spirits. One of these, j. c. Jeaffreson,
arrived at the specified hour, o'clock,
and found an amusing complication of
circumstances. The head waiter at
once met him with an effusive welcome,
for which he was quite unprepared.
80, sir" he cried, Pm glad to see
you, and only wished you'd come an
hour and a half sooner! The illustrious
Moosoo Goaty has been here for nigh
upon two hours.
HE came at ten minutes to five, and
he and Mr.. Matthewes have been in
pretty fix. Mr.. Matthewes speaks no
French, the illustrious Moosoo Goaty
don't speak English, and there isn't a
soul in the hotel capable of acting as

hotel when an interpreter is wanted, but
he had gone into the country for Sum

tier was equally miserable.

ulated Mr.. Matthewes, hopping and fam
ming his face with big silk handl1er-

Don't pay any attention to me-" he
added, Il shall soon be better now you
have come. Please explain to him that

LAST
A short conversation with the ''illus-
trious Goaty" disclosed the fact that he
had, in some way, mistaken the dinner
hour for five, and the amusing error led
to an unrestrained and animated even
ing.
The conversation was entirely in
French, and the host sat beaming at
his guests, throughout the dinner, and
only spoke in answer to the sympathiz-
ing request of one gentleman that he
should be included in the conversation
by continuing it in English.
''No, no, sir, not word of English,
so long as the illustrious Moosoo Goaty
honors me with his company he cried.

And so the talk was continued and
ended, to his absolute bewilderment
and satisfaction.-Chicago News.
