''She thinks am IN idle, good-for-

They are all held III by ropes whicn
can be easily extended m shortened
so as to draw more or less wind. One
of the most picturesque OF the sails is
not shown in the diagram because if
is used only under certain favoring
conditions. This sail, the balloon iib,
Is an enormous sail made of very light
cloth-in the Columbia of silk-and
it is larger than either the maipsail or
the spinnaker. IT is attached at the
very from! of the boas, and it is sup
posed to ganher mp oil the wind that
there is. Tt is usually used when tho
winds are very light. The correct
method Of using balloon jib is very
important feature of the yachtr.an's
work, aud IT may play an exceedingly
important pars in the coming race.
The little flag at the top Of the top
mast (22) is called the burgee, and
that which flies from the tip Of the
gaff (23) is called the pennant In
case of heavy winds it is found neces'
sary sometimes to reef the sails. This
is done by meaus of the little strings
which are seen hanging in rows along
the lower part OF the mainsail. The
canvas is pulled down to the boom
and tied with these strings, 80 that

of the mainmast, as shown in the

place by what are known as shrouds,
long, heavy wire ropes 10 and III,
which run from the "houpds" at the
top of the mainmast and from the top
of the topmast to each side of the
hull, where they are firmly attached.
In order to further strengthen the
topmast a crosstree (9) is placed at
the head of the topmast for spreading
the topmast shrouds. 1t was the
breaking of this spreader which caused
the recent accident to the Columbia.
When the crosstree snapped the top
mast was loosened and fell before the
wind with such force that the steel
mainmast broke short off about half
way of its length. Next to the mast

Stillman said, his own pain urging him
still to plead Ned's cause.
II hope he will nersevere in his re.
solve: He may make noble man.
''But his love-"
'I can never return" she said, ,reso.
lutely. "Play leave me now. IL
am not well"
He left her. Only few feet from
the door he turned and retraced his
steps. He had satisfied his conscience;
had pleaded the cause OF the younger,
handsomer man, whose pleasure
money probably doubled and trebled
his own entire income. Faithfully he
had placed before Matte all Ned's
pleadings, all her influence might do
for him, and he had won only steady
refusal of the suit he urged.
Now he would risk his own fate.
But at the door he paused, for Matte
had thrown herself in deeparmchair,
and with her face hidden was sobbing
with a perfect passion of grief.
Was it for Ned? Did she already
repent her decision? Irresolute
whether to retreat or advance, Harvey
stood in the doorway till Matte,
neither seeing nor hearing him, felt
she was not alone and looked up.
In moment she was on her feet, and
for the first time the minister saw her
eyes flash with anger.
''Why do you come back?" she said.
"Hare you not sufficiently humiliated
me?"
"I?" he cried. 81 humiliate your
"What else is it to come to me to
plead Ned Gordon's love! Is he an
idiot that he cannot speak himself, but
must make my name bywo-d by pratt
ing of his love to every Stranger"
Miss Woolston, you misjrdge him
and meme most of all, if you imas-
inc desire to humiliate you-I, who
honor you above all other women-I,
who came, tearing my own heart, to
plead against it for your happiness.
Do not Judge me harshly, Matte, for
my loves sake!"
She had so visibly frightened as lie
spoke, such soft, dewyhappiness rested
in the brown eyes, such tremulous
smiles gathered around the small
mouth that Harvey Stillman felt his
own heart swell with rapture.
Matte" he cried, 81 am poor,
many years older than YOU are, and
yet love you with all the strength Of
my heast"
"And 1 love you!''
Simply as child she told the truth
of her own heart. He was not man
for any outburst of rapture. Tender
ly he folded her in his arms, saying
softly:
"Thank God, darling!"
Nobody but Matte and her betrothed
knew why Ned Gordon resolved to
continue his studies in New York in
stead of remaining with his father at
Greyport; but years later, when he
came back TO the little village to take
