FORMING A
PARTNERSHIP.

On a summer morning young man
turned down a Yarmouth row. He was
q handsome young fellow, somewhat
shabbily dressed, and he walked he
carelessly took stock of his surroundings.
Near the bottom of the row a window
was open, and by geranium that bloom
ed in a pot, the first and only flower he
had seen, a girl was leaning lightly on
her elbow.
In the opposite doorway a woman with
a red face and brandishing a broom in
her hand was barring the entrance
against a herculean man in oily frock.
81 AK you ag'in, John Wade" shouted
he of the oily; IF you're a-goin to sea?'
''An / toll you ag'in, skipper" replied
a logged voice from the interior, Il ain't
a-goin to sea."
''Then," cried the giant wildly, "what
am to do? Here's the vessel ready to
sail an you a-sulkin- But as sure as my
name is Bill Thompson, I'll police you"
The girl at the window, who seemed
used to such scenes, smiled. Looking up
at her and seeing for the first time that
she was in deep mourning, the young
man smiled also.
cam i of any use?" he said to the
wearer of the oily. Il want job
eff you're ready an willin, my lad" he
said, you're o use. But if you amt,
you amt. D'you want berth?''
Il want everything" answered the
young man in 4 low tone. I'm homeless
and penniless. But I'm landsman."
''That amt bit o. consequence. What
d'you say? VIII you go? IT'S for eight
weeks"
81 don't care if it's for eight years.
There's nothing to stop me here
'Come on, them cried the delighted
fisherman. But stop-what's your name,
my lad?''
.'John Smith, was the answer. And
his hesitation escaped the skipper.
'1Well, Smith, for fear o accidents,
some one had better take your money.
Who'll you leave it withT'
The young man again looked up at the
window at the sweet, pure face above
him. The gaze of the rough sea giant
beside him followed his glance.
"Oh, 1 see," he exclaimed. you're
goin to take it. miss. Well, you know
where to go. Old Tom Price is the OWL
er, the name o the vessel is the
Saucy Lass. Come on, Smith, more
hankyin. Your sweetheart 'ull take your
money" And he seized the newly ship
ped by the arm.
''No, nor she cried in confusion. 81 do
not know the gentleman. II
But already Smith, with the hand of
the skipper on his arm, had been hurried
out of earshot, and before she could
reach the door the two had vanished
down the row.
Eight weeks later a young man. bronx
ed and hearty, stood on Yarmouth quay.
1t was John Smith. His sea rig had Civ
en- place to Il decent suit of clothes, and
he seemed bordering which way to GO
At last he wandered to the seashore.
Finding spot where pale blue violets
lay low among the sea grass, he flung
himself down and pulled out an envelope.
1t contained Il pOstoffice order wrapped in
a sheet of note paper, and this was
written Katharine Perry" The amount
was the sum due to him on his pay card.

A PEARL OF

Are you going to marry him, Eu-

| Marry him. Miss Chaloner arched
her brows in manner indicative of the

''you are a heartless fiirt"

type, and she meant that her face should

this, with only one silk dress a year"
When Christine Gray, the orphan child
of Mr.. Chaloner's only sister, came 20
live with them, matters grew more COM
plicated still, and Eudora chose to sup
pose that Chrstine's presence was a per-
sonal infiiction upon herself

and spent long days i'll trimming Eu-
dora's dresses and bonncts until even the
1auH nnulnS beauty was cOuiHeiIeu To
acknowledge that really, ChriSsy made
herself quite useful" When the sum-
mer came and the little tribe OF Chaloners
began TO grow pale and droop in the
burning reflection of city pavements,
there was no question of Saratoga or
Long Branch. Economy must be stud
led.
The family were taken to the farm of
the Elders, where board was cheap.
And Miss ChalOnor had OthiuC to
do. what more natural than that she
should amuse herself 10y trying to fas-
cinate Reuben Elder, the farmers only
son.
He's Il handsome fellow" said she;
land he has read great deal. l really
think 1 could fancy him if he were only
rich and had a little more of the SAVIOR
faire of society about himv'
And so, with tact truly admira BILE,
she contrived to keep Reuben Elder on
the dcbatablc ground just outside of a
proposal, until she went away and took
a leave of him which convinced the young
man that his hopes were not unfounded.
Il may come and see you when visit

held her hand minute before the steam
whistle sounded its unearthly summons.

Reuben looked at her with eyes of ad.

He had been to the house, but found
her gone. Yet here was his money left
by her in this form.
On his homeward path he stopped to
buy a morning paper. He began to look
it over. Suddenly he caught his breath.
His gaze was riveted on an advertise
ment that read thus:
George Neal is earnestly requested to
communicate with Messrs. Furness &
Wapp, solicitors, Lincoln'S Inn Fields,
when he will hear something to his add
vantage. Any person knowing of the
wherea bouts of the said G. n. and COM
municating the same to the above firm
will be suitably rewarded"
Before noon that day John Smith had
shaken the dust of Yarmouth from his
feet and was on his way to London. As
he burst into the office carefully
dressed old gentleman wearing pair of
gold trimmed glasses stepped forward to
greet him. This he did by nearly shak
ing his arm off.
why, my dear George he cried,
chow glad / am to see you, We have

the bitterness he felt, the young man
arose.
Footsteps had been coming nearer ev-

turned to the door. The clerk came first,
then the lawyer. with old fashioned
courtesy, came forward to intercept the
visitor.
