my belt around me, l leaped into the
surging waters, and with a powerful

At this point one of the ladies in the
party which surrounded the boy laughed
softly and the men began to look little
uneasy. At the sound of the laugh Geor-
gle seemed to awake as if from trance.
His flashing blue eyes resumed their nat
ural expression and blush came on his
cheeks. With a timid movement he
backed toward Mrs. Carnegie's seat, and
when she reached out her hand and took
his he turned around and hid his face in
her lap. The party were rather sur
prised at this, and besides all of them
had become intensely interested in the
story. They began to question him as to
what had become of the beautiful girl
but George steadfastly refused to say an
| other word, and at every new question
he would only bury his head deeper in
| Mrs. Carnegies lap.
Some time afterward, when he seemed
| to have regained his composure, Miss
! Carnegie asked him: What is your last
! name, Georgiel"
| "Georgie Bennett is my whole name,
madam" replied Georgia, resuming his
! Chesterfeldian air
And where do you come from, Mr..
| Bennett" his questioner continued.
"Danbury, Conn, madam My father
! keeps furniture store at / Terrace
| place"
"Oh so you come from Danbury and
not from London, =" said one of the men in
laughing way. George turned scarlet
at this and buried his head in Mrs.
! Carnegie's lap again.
After much coaXing he was induced to
/ explain that he had run away from his
aunt's nome. He was going TO row out on
| the ocean, get picked up by some big
| steamer and then go 10 Europe. He en-
/ tertained the party until the Dungeness

! little fellow When Mrs. Carnegie was
! informed of this she refused to allow the
/ police 10 have George, saying she would
keep him on board the Dungeness until

/ A telegram was sent to the address in

! Archibald Bennett, lived. In the mean
time the boy had been put to bed on the
| yacht, and few hours later a dispatch
/ arrived from Georgie's father, saving that
he would come here at once to get his
| son. George was not to be notified of
| this. After his breakfast he strutted
around the deck of the Dungenness in
high glee.
At few minutes after 8 o'clock pros
| perous-looking business man rushed on
| board the yacht, and before any one could
intercept him to ask his business he ran
to where George was standing, and, tax
! ing him in his arms began crying like a
child. When the first Joy of the meeting
was over Mr.. Bennett inquired for Mrs
! Carnegie and was profuse in his
thanks to her for saving his
sons life. He told her how he and
his wife had sent the boy, their only
child, down TO his aunt's, who lives near
ROTOR Point, TO get week or so of fresh
sea air. On Tuesday morning he left his
aunt's house and went TO the beach. At
ter that they could find no trace of him.
Mr.. Bennett said that the boy was only
IL years old, but that he had already read
inuumerable dime novels, aud it was that.

he would take the next train back TO Dan

fectionate farewell, and marched up the
dock with his father
