The harbor master shook his head, ap-
parently more in sorrow than in anger,
and Whispered Bill Kisseck that, as 1.-THE
GOOD ould book" says bad is the man
that has never no music in his sowl."
1t was one of Tommy Bill l-beg's pecul-
iarities of mental twist that he was full Of
ouotations and never by any chance failed
to misascribe, misquote and misapply
them. The fishing boats were rolling gen
tly with the motion Of the rising tide.
When everything had been made ready
and the flood was at hand, the fishermen,
to the number of several hundred men and
boys, trooped off to the shore of the bay.
There they were joined by great multi
tude of women and children. Presently
the vicar appeared, and standing in an
open boat he offered the customary prayer
for the blessing Of God on the fishing ex-
pedition' which was now setting out.
"Restore and continue to us the har-
vest Of the sea. :"
And the men, on their knees In the
and with uncovered heads and faces In
| heir hats Inurmured "Yn Meailley."
Then tbev separated the fishermen re-
.urnin.y to their boats.
Bill Kisseck leaned aboard the lugrer
that Law at the mouth of the. harbor, His
six mon followed him. "See all clear"
he shouted To DANNY. who sailed with him
as how. Danny stood ON the quay with
Abe dntv of clearing ropes from blocks and
then following in the dingy that was
moored TO the steps
Among the women who had come down
TO the harbor to see the departure of the
fleet were two who bore no very close re-
Eemblance to the great body of the towns
women. One was an elderly woman, with
| n thin, sad face. The other was a young
woman. or perhaps two or three and twen-
ty, tall and muscular, with pale cast of
countenance, large brown eyes and rich
auburn hair. The face, though strong and
beautiful was not radiant with happiness,
and vet it recalled very vividly CLINT of
human sunshine that we have known be-
fore.
Tn another moment little Rubv. red
with r,nnino nranced nm to their side
crvinp. "Niona. come and sen DANNY
Favle's boat. Here look there-that one
with the color on the deck"
The admiral's boat was to carry flag.
| The two women were pulled along by
the little sprite and stopped Just where
DANNY himself was untying a knot in a
rome. Danny recognized them, lifted his
hat. blushed. looked confused, and seemed
for the moment to forget the cable.
"Tail on therep' shouted Bill Kisseck
from the lugger. "Show q leg there, If
YOU don't want the rats tail. Dye hearp"
Danny was fumbling with his cap. That
moor tagging lower lip was giving a yearn-
ing look to the lads simple face. He NUT
tered some commonplace to Mona and
then dropped his head. At that instant his
eve fell on the lower part of her dress
The blue serge of her gown was bleached
near her feet Danny, who could think Of
nothing else to saw. mumbled something
about the salt water having taken the col
or out of Mona's dress. The girl looked
down. and then said quietly:
eyes, Twas caught by the tide last night
T mean to saw. | WASH
She was clearly trying to recall her
words but Door Danny had hardly heard
them.
"Yos, cursed boobvp' cried Bill Kisseck.
leaning ashore, "pratin with a pack of
women when Pm a-waitin for YOU. I'll
make Won walk handsome over the bricks,
NV man"
With that be struck Danny terrible
blovv and felled him.
The lod got nm abashed. and without a
word turned to his work. Kisseck. still in
the lueger, when the young woman stepped
up to him, looked fearlessly in his face,
seemed about to speak, checked herself
and turned away.
