able to intercept the Sunshine, which
she knew was down the river, and
should be coming back at this time,

up without hating, when she was yet

Tapping almost idly In the air oppo-
site the wharf.
This schooner may suit my purpose"
she thought, as she fastened down.
Arrived at the landing she recognized
the Clara Belle, and, as the schooner
was but 40 or so yards out in the stream,
the form of Angus Bruce upon the deck.
There was no air stirring, and the
tide, being at low ebb, they were be-
Gained and making no Roadway. An
gus evidently recognized Clara as she
rode upon the dock, for he raised his
hat.
Clara hesitated about signaling him,
believing it not well that they should

landing, and he was soon standing by
the side of the girl he loved.

YOUR HAND"

1T WILL GO HARD THEN, BUT WILL HAVE
YOUR HAND"
The last day Of May arrived and found
all preparations completed for the two
marriages which were to take place
the evening of the ensuing day.
Mr.. Lloyd and Fannie were to como
down on the Sunshine, which had been
especially chartered to convey both
themselves and friends Of the contract
ing parties to Orion.
Clarence Hill was happy as a lark, and
Fannie, who would soon be hia bride,
was mob less SO.
Clara had not looked back since
plighting her troth to the banker, nor
would she have recalled her pledge
could she really have done SO.
AS to the banker, he was very happy
In his quiet way; very proud OF tho
splendid girl who would 50 soon become
mistress Of his home and heart. But
his mind was sometimes filed with mis-
givings as he thought Of the difference
between their ages, and he asked him
self the question:
"Am I doing this young girl an In
Justice in making her my wife9 Can
she be happy as the wife Of man so
many years her senior?"
Never did he question If he should be
happy. He doubted not his happiness.
1t would lie in contributing to that Of
his fair young bride, and. knowing the
high character of Clara, he was salts
fed thatshe would not marry where she
feared for the happiness of the future.
Abner Hill was we'll satisfied with tho
outlook for his son and daughter, and
his wife was pleased If only her children
were happy.
Clara had written letter that day
