must leave the four companions to go
back to Devon once more.
The women left weeping on Plymouth
shore were destined TO weep again. The
Scraps never reported at Calcutta and
hope deferred made many loving hearts
sick with apprehension. Easter of 1888
came, but with it came no JOY, rather
the confirmation of their worst fears.
The captain of a homeward- bound YES
sci had sighted some direlict wreckage
of the Scraps. He brought the news to
Plymouth, and the day afterward, just
as the church-bells summoned the wor-
shippers to the joyful alteration of the
Eastertide, all Bideford knew that
Esther Wooding had lost her stalwart.
noble sweetheart. Many an eye was
moist, and many a heart hot as the
thoughts of his kindness were recalled
with gratitude and tears
Meanwhile, poor Esther. sad with IN
utterable sorrow, wandered down 10 the
bar and watched the smiling sea, so
treacherous and calm, as though 1T any
moment 1t may yield up nor dead
on John! My own joint Why had l
not kept you here!'
So she moaned, while the moan of the
wind answered her across the rustliug
reeds at Bideford POSI-.

sure enow, but don't maze yourself with

Truth to tell, the old man had already
found Johns successor, did he dare but
name him.
1 want tn see y'u in some good mans
home before / die he added, peering
up into her face.
Don't talk of dying, father, nor of my
having to leave you. 1 hope both are
equally distant events" replied Esther,
with her sad eyes looking supposedly
upon him. The old man shuff1ed before
that clear, melancholy gaze, and turned
to some other subject of discussion. Her
womanly instincts had told her that
Ralph COlwell loved her. Ralph was
rich. and though of middle age, a man
of goodly presence and fortune
Now John was lost at sea, as all sup
posed, and Ralph ColwelTs aspirations
revived. He had been her fathers gem
erouS friend, but he never presumed up
on 1t; and when the Scraps had lain
beneath the terrible rock of the African
coast for over twelvemonth, he timidly
and thoughtfully urged his suit upon
Esther. only to be met with refusal.
But men of Ralph's temperament are
not easily turned aside from their pur-
poses, and he could afford to wait. Her
father died in the June of 1888, and the
house was left unto her desolate. Ralph
proved lover, friend, philosopher and
financial resource all in one. He never
lntruded his rejected suit. His constant
love by thoughtful watching wise won

Carded WOOL, anu
those deep, winding lanes, almost over
reached with honeysuckle and Wild
brier, the delicious windings Of which
seemed designed by Cupid for his de-
voices alone
Charles Kingsley tells how GrenVil,
cousin of William the Conqueror, drew
around him to those sequestered spots
his trusty Saxon serfs and free Morse
rovers and dark Silurian Britons,
whose mingled blood still gives to De-
Vonians their brave men and beauteous
women.
Certainly John Maddox and Esther
wedding fully sustained their native
country's reputation. Sweethearts they
had ever been since the days when they
went, hand in hand, to the white stone
schoolhouse on the hill above Bide-
ford. And now John was first mate of
an Indian ship, and he and Esther had
met to bid farewell ere he sailed away
on his long, perilous voyage.
1t was on the Easter eve of 1882
Springs sweet breath filled all that
southern cline; and as the lovers nes-
tied In one last, passionate embrace,
Esther felt as she had never felt before
"A strange reluctance to let her af-
famed one go.
II know you will come back again,
John, but do you know L have an OPP
pressive dread of some foreboding
evil?"
Cheer up, my dearie, for come back
surely shall, and. maybe, with enough
of this worlds goods to settle our home
In Bideford."
He kissed her with a caress which
drew the whole soul through their lips
and hurried to the distant street to
catch the stage to Plymouth.
Across the heathery hills he rode
whence had famed the beacon light
that told of proud SPANS dread Ar
mada's defeat. But John Maddox
dreamed that Easter eve of love and
peace, not war; of life yet to come
when he and Esther should walk it's
fiowery pilgrimage together.
His ship, the Scraps, conveyed a Brit
Ish regiment to India. When he reached
Plymouth the quaint old streets were
filled with a crowd gathered to see the
redcoats pass to the beach.
The vessel sailed away amid women's
sobs and mems hurrahs, and that Sun
day morning they watched her drift
until the highest peak faded against
an opalescent sky and she disappeared
below the dip of the sea.
The Scraps raced before the wind
like bird past the Gambian coast and
lay in the doldrums in the gulf of
Guinea, while soldiers sweltered and
swore and sailors whistled for a breeze
They moved again, and when off Port
Nolloth, South Africa, a great Atlantic
gale struck her, and for two days they

She did so. and the wedding was
fixed to take place on March q. 1884:
Easter Sunday following on the 30th.
The idea that John could have survived
never occurred to her. That was an
impossibility, as she thought. so un-
mistakably had the record Of the YES
seIs loss been given. And yet Esther
Wooding felt her depression in great
er degree as her nuptials drew near.
The oath Of March came. She was
sleeping alone in her fathers and her
own home. For none would have in
terfered with her in those quiet days of
honest neighborhood. When she re-
tired to rest a fierce storm tossed the
branches of the trees before her win
dow, and the thunder of the surf as it
sent the pebbles flying up the beach was
distinctly audible.
No wonder she dreamt of John! She
saw the shutter of rock, her lovers
form hurled from the poop, and the
doomed vessel dashed to pieces on the
shore. Johns white face was distinct
ly visible, floating over the bounding
pillows, and she awoke in terror.
The next night her depression was
deeper than before. And, stranger still,
she dreamt of John again. But this
time the storm had ceased, and there
was a great calm. She could see the
beach where her lover had landed in
safety, and he seemed to wave his neck
erchief, her parting gift, as though sig
mailing passing ship. When mornings
dewy light stole in through her case
ment, Esther arose, and felt that most
unreasonably, and yet effectually, had
her sorrow left her
She reproached herself for this light
some mind, but it was in vain she did
SO.
Tomorrow is the wedding day." she
murmured, with ashen lips.
The thought disturbed her as it had
never done before. And that last night
lay down to sleep and dream again
This third time she stood on Plymouth
quay, and, from the spot where Drake
and Hawkins played their game OF
bowls, she looked. with a crowd, at an
incoming ship, which fired her gun and
saluted the colors.
What vessel is that? ?" asked Esther.

lady," he responded. CALAMITY doffing
his glazed hat.
John. her John, the one she dreamed
dead and buried in the Atlantic off the
African coast, stood on the stern and
waved her neckerchief.
The dream ended, and Esther once
more arose, to find herself humming o
tune, the first trill of her once merry
voice for two years.
But it is my wedding dayw AND
