Why don't you help me watch the ships?" she complained.
 q had rather watch you" he protest ed But he was shuddering uncontrol- lably. Don't ask me to look at the sea- he whispered-"I can't-I can't not even with you" He was unable to command his voice and his face was as gray as the breakers below. He sank down on the grass and covered his face with his hands.
 "ft isn't often so bad" he groaned. This is one of my very worst days and to be with you"
 Worst days''-she cried-"and with mel" Her sunshine gloomed as if a thundercloud were gathering, with lightning flashes yet to come. "Oh! what do you mean? Tell me, Owen, what is the matter-you must tell me everything, 0wen."
 He sat for some time staring across the fields, trying to steady himself. q can't do it." he gasped. T shall go mad and lose myself forever if l try to tell it now"
 Then the merciless lightnings began to play.
 "0xen Marston, this is mere moral cowardice. If you have some abom- inable secret, could forgive you that if you told me the whole, plain truth at once. But a coward I utterly de- spise."
 Here the storm cloud rifted and a gleam of sunshine stole through.
 1T know l could forgive you if you told me, Owen" she said, softly, for do love you, Owen"
 But Owen, with averted face, was gripping the grass in an agony that only those who have suffered wrench at the roots of reason i'll the quivering brain can appreciate. And again the lightning blazed forth.
 sBut that isn't all, Owen Marston. You are not playing mans part in the world. You are teaching babies in a little country school. A girl could do that. You ought to be ashamed-when there are so many noble and heroic things to do, that other men are doing. And you have such a splendid brain to work with! l concede you that-you have noble mind, but a craven spirit. ]"
 He was still silent, and her anger grew.
 And now, Owen Marston, I'll tell you something more-though you don't deserve my confidence, for you never told anything to me-except lie when you said you loved me. A man who really loves a woman doesn't groyel on the ground when she asks him for the simple truth. He staLds firm on his feet and looks straight in her eyes and proves himself worthy of her trust.

barely 13 when a second tragedy oc- cured, far more horrible than the frst-his elder brother being mangled and devoured by sharks before his very eyes. Owen himself just managed 10 escape by crawling upon the hull of the overturned eat boat, where he lay pronefor hours, desperately clinging on the slimy and unstable surface, watch ing the sharp black fins of the still greedy monsters slashing the water all around him. By this frightful experience the boy was well-nigh ruined. When he was finally brought 10 shore he grimaced and chattered like an ape, and was able 10 give no intei- ligibe account of himself. For many days his mind was clouded and his body shaken by spasms of terror; he appeared doomed to spend his whole life in nightmare of imbeciity. His vigorous brain, however, did at length resume it's function, but his nerve was gone foreyer-as ii seemed. When he recovered he found that his mother, too, was dead, this last shock having fairly jolted out her already wasted ana fal- tering life.
 The cat-boat still lay mildewing al the wharf. He could never set foot up- on its deck again; the mere thought made him faint and giddy. So he sold his only means of livelihood for what il would fetch, and invested the pro- eeeds in schooling. In this line he showed no lack of resolution, though il was like the desperation of a man who fees from speeters and wal turn aside for nothing. Through six long seasons he had studied and starved and shiv- cred and chored for cottagers; but in the end he had achieved a very decent education. which he was now endeavor- ing 10 cash back into dollars by teach ing district school near 'Sconset.
 Such was the situation two summers ago, when the first ray of light flashed into this dreary life; and it came when Gertie Cecil, impelled by curiosity and fate, disregarding my heated protest, pushed open the schoolhouse door and adventurously peered through. What a sight il must have been-that fair face suddenly shining in upon the dingy blackboards and benches!
 am quite right in likening Gertrude to sunbeam; it is no exaggeratIon. She has sunshine hair, sunny eyes and face as clear and bright as sunIit cloud. Radiant is the word that best de- scribes her. We were both guests, she and 1, at the summer cottage of the Colmans on the bluff. and were taking Q vagrant stroll together through quaint old 'Sconset and out beyond, along the deep-rutted island roads, when she thus broke through the de lenses of the little schoolhouse and shot it's master with her shaft flight.

There IS a pointed yoke which has N-shaPed neck--anite an innovation in these days of high, elose-fitting stocks. A pointed bolero effect is produced with bands of the same trimming as that on the skirt, and there are more points at the top of the sleeves, which are short, barely reaching below the elbows.

That unconventional introduction speedily led to acquaintance, and-I will not say to love, for in love, I am sure, 1t began. From the first she treated the poor boy with a distinction that the gay young loungers in semi nautical attire who threw away their cigarettes on her approach could never win. Some of them had tried persist ently enough, but they soon gave up the field to this obscure native" And could see myself that in spite of his drawn face and shrunlzen eyes and shrinking nervousness there was some thing uncommonly attractive about him.
 But Gertrude was a girl with high ideals; and girl with ideals can some times be incredibly cruel, even to those whom she devotedly oves-to those, in deed, most of all. Her ideal is apt to be martyr-especially if she is a New England girl, and Gertrude's heredity was potent.
 One day the lovers had wandered to Sanloty Head, and stood on the brow of the mighty cliffs which there rise sheer from the waters edge to height of several hundred feet. Gertrude was eagerly gazing over the ragged arch of the whitecaps to the sails that loomed half sunk in the distant offing.

 Less than two years ago this young

Like everyone else on that wind-swept and surf crnmbIed sand heap, he had been bred n tbe sea; indeed his grandfather had been a whaling captain in nte-bellum davs. though his name was finally in- scribed, with many others, on the mon ument that perpetuates the noble war record of the patriotic Nantueketers Rut the boy, despite his ancestry, sbrank with an irrepressible dread from the battle with wind and brine; a deep horror of the sea had been inn pressed upon him from his earliest childhood. His first clear recollection was of the little railed platform on. the roof, where he clung to his mothers Tapping skirts as she stood unmindful of her baby in the storm, searching the dim ofling with a spyglass for the patched sail of her husbands fishing smack. And one day, when the little fellow was few years older, both mother and son. saw quite too much; and one more slab of cheap blue slate was se1 up in the graveyard, with notb- ing under it but grief and tragic re membranee.
