of the new boat as they were after the
short skirmish off jamestown on Sun

a good whole-sail breeze from the south
west, and under these conditions the
defender made a most excellent show

pressed the owners and admirers of the
Columbia. In the morning both boats
sailed dead to the windward from Bren-
tons Reef light-ship. and the new sloop
gained about one and one-half minutes
in fully one and a quarter hours of
steady sailing under equal conditions.
During this brush the Defender held
her own in short reach toward point
Judith. In the afternoon there was a
strong breeze blowing from the south
west, a fairly smooth sea and no yachts
to bother either boat. The racers started
side by side the Defender to the wind
ward about 100 yards away. and after
butting out to sea for about four miles
in a direct line from Brenton's reef

rative
Many Of my readers may feel inclined
to demur as believing that this story could
have any foundation in the action OF real
life, but must be wild creation OF the
writer's brain. They would be wrong.
The writer is no more fond of wild crea.
tons than the reader, and everything
herein written is truth and not fiction
Big cross eyed Mary Jane P. had tum-
bled into crooked eyed Ben's presence, as
well as into his heart, on that day as
mysieriously as if she had fallen from the
clouds. After she had bruised and mangled
Ben's adamantine-like heart to her own
taste she had as mysteriously disappeared
from the stage of action.
As have already said, Mary Jane was
powerful made young woman, and in fact
her stately form lowered to the full extent
of six feet, and she was superbly proper
toned every inch of the way. And her
luxuriant growth of glossy black hair was
magnificent in the extreme. And her
creamy complexion was too beautiful to be
grasped by the conception of any of my
readers. And her eyes! Great guns! They
were more crooked than even Ben's but
crooked the other way. For instance,
when they would be walking together
Ben's would be askew to the right and
Mary's to the left.
Now, after the uproarious cheering had
subsidized which had been given in honor
o. old Beck, and still while Ben was in
the midst of his weeping enthusiasm, the
form of Mary Jane bolted on to the stage
and she grasped Ben by the arm and near
shook him into fragments, the while ex-
claiming-bully for you, old rosin, the
bow, your heart is in the right place, 90 it,
20 it. Then Ben tried his best to gaze into
Mary's eyes, and she was trying her best
to catch a vista of Ben's Utmost soul
through his crooked peppers, but the task
was TO much and Ben apparently gazing
away Off to the right, said, won't you
please dance the Gudgeon Pie for me? She
said that she would, and whilst Ben was
returning old Beck she gathered up her
skirts just high enough to display her
pretty slippered feet and lovely barber pole
stockings, and when Ben struck up the
grand old jig she kicked it all over the
stage to the queens taste. Just when the
