words that bound her, she knew that
she was bound; and it seemed to her
that all the world--hcr world-must

afternoon, as they We're walking down

and asked her to marry him, her refusal

And poor Dick, abashcd, began to say
that it would be different if there was

Why Donald Hayes should have built
his house so near the water, that the
line of drift left by the high tide was
tangled in his little picket fence, was
mystery to the Seaport.

enough of that ocean week days, with

too," demonstrated more than ono
friend, ''Ain't you tired of sccin' the

here in town you could see the street,
and folks comm and goin'."
"Folls!" said Donald Hayes, with
laugh; tho SCI. is folks enough for
me-"
"Wcll, it's easy talking" threatened
the other, good-naturedly, "but wait till
you try to get Mary Ellis to live down
on those God-forsalsen rocks; Mary, or
any woman, will say-'no, thank ye!'
l don't see how your mother stands it,
nohow."
Donald laughed again; he was fine,
vigorous young fellow, with an open,
sunny, handsome face, and mouth
that found laughing easy. "Mother
don't mind" he said; and then he
jumped into his dory, which was tied
at the wharf where they had been talk
ing, and went slipping down the little
tidal river towards the open sea. Donald
was not concerned about his chance for
getting a wife. 'Mary won't mind the
rocks" he might have said; but he only
pulled his oars in as he passed house
near the river, and waved his hand at u
girl up on the bank, who was hanging
tea towels out on the currant bushes in
the back garden.
"Hullo, Mary!" he called out; and she
came running down the path to the
river. She was pleasant looking girl,
not pretty, but fresh and honest, and
with eyes that knew no secrets. AS
they met Donald's there was a Joyous
avowal in them.
''Can you get imp" he asked her, as
the dory bumped against the piles that
banked the grass at the end of the gar
den. Mary glanced at him, sidewise.
81 thought you were going to take
me out yestcrday?"
"Why!" said Donald, II vow! so I
was. Well, declare I never thought
of it till this minute! All, come on,
Mary; don't be hard on fellow!'
Mary demurred, with that delightful
affectation of Indignation at being neg

she is loved can assume.

She talked about him good deal; his

Those awful, breathless DAYS OF do.
spair, and refusing to despair, and then
despair again, were filled to Mary with
intense and immediate anxiety about
Donald's mother. Mrs. Hayes was very
frail at best, and it seemed as If this
must kill her; indeed, II Mary had not
kept on hoping for her, she must have
died. But little by little she came back
to life, and to the acceptance Of the
fact that Don was dead; and then ono
day, six months later, hope sprang
again into sudden vigor and certainty;
sailor in Plymouth, who had known
him, was told by n man who had just
come in in a merchant Indiamun, that
he had seen Donald Hayes in the street
in Calcutta. He had not spoken to him,
for he had lost sight Of him again, but
he had seen him. Through one mouth
and another this news came toSeaport,
and was brought down to tho gray
house on the rocks. Mary used to say
afterwards that when she heard it it
seemed to her that she should die OF
Joy. Then came the waiting for tho
letter from Don which must, of course,
be on its way. These two, who loved
him, guessed with the instinct of wom-
en- bred by the sea, the whole story;
the wreck; the rescue on an outward.
bound vessel; the long voyage; the first
port Calcutta, and the instant dispatch
of letters to them.
eve may hear any day." Mary said;
the color had crept back into her face,
and the light to her eyes; and yet,
waiting, and waiting, and waiting for
Don's letter, light and color waned
again. 1t was months before she whis-
pered to Don's mother the CHASTITY
thought that the sailor had been mis-
taken, and that Don had not been seen.
She said it to be contradicted. And ut
first 1t was contradicted sturdily and
cheerfully. But by and by they both
grew too wise for self delusion, and
DULY took up the burden of living again.
Fortunately there was no complica-
ton Of poverty to make Mrs. Hayes
more wretched; she had enough money
for Seaport's standards of living; Dons
earnings had never been relied upon;
they were uncertain at best, and had
mostly been put into the Samuel P.
Jones. Still, things had to be managed
for the old woman, and it came to be
matter of course for Mary to live with
her.
So time went by placidly, without
happiness, but with peace; and on
Mary's part, with that deepening love

Her face changed, as though a cloud
had crossed the sun. She got in SILENT

man; she looked at him once, and then
watched the bubbles, leaping to the
surface when the oars cut down into
the swift flow of the tide.
''Your mother'll be lonely" she said.
"Bless your hearth" he answered, gay

said, a little TREMENDOUSLY; "You know
you didn't write for six months the last
time; and of course your mother was

"Well, I'm not much on writing"
Donald admitted; "when got blamed

The town lay inland half mile,
scattered along the bank of river
that slipped down through salt marshes
to the sea. 1t was a primitive little
places; its main industry was fishing.
Indeed, the pungcnt smell Of drying
fish, and the ashhouses, gray and
weatherbeaten, and full of lobster pots
and seines, betrayed that fact to any
stranger. Dick Wheeler was almost
the only man in Seaport who was not
fisherman. He had made an effort to
