CHAPTER vi.

AS they rode away Jack said, who
is the foreign-looking noodle who
waved his hand from the parlor win
dow"
He had caught sight of Dick Parker,
as Mary turned her horses head
toward the valley, and he noticed the
blush which heightened her color as
she bowed to the stranger.
Hes no noodle" said Mary. "On
the contrary, l should say he can see
as far through a stone wall as most"
"Oh!" said Jack, you have talked
with him."
mot exactly; I have heard him
talk"
Got the gift of CAB, eh?" remarked
Jack scornfully.
Seems to have got many gifts"
Mary replied. His fathers noble
man; he has been in the wars, escaped
in merchantmen through the French
cruisers, lives in London, is travelling
for pleasure, and also to see his father.
He likes fishing, thinks he will stay a
week or two at Kirkshall, rides well,
knows all about horses, and foreign
countries, has fought duel and is as
handsome as a picture"
Before Jack could reply Mary put
her cob into gallop, and went spin
ming along the road with her thoughts
and fancies all conferred in the young
stranger at the inn. Jack followed,
his mind already in open revolt
against the stranger, and ready to
pick prompt quarrel with him about
horses, foreign parts, French cruisers
or anything else.
Handsome is as handsome does
is a good Yorkshire proverb," Jack
said as soon as Mary pulled up again.
Eyes; and I daresay it makes for
him as we'll as if he were Yorkshire"
said Mary. II know nothing to the
contrary"

Jack, "but he's uncommonly like the
sort Of chap they talk Of"
who talks Off"
"Why, old Thompson and Jim Rem
shaw, who've both been in the wars"

The Tug Boat Captain.

A tug lay hard by, and the captain
added his bit to my sociological noe
turne, as sat in the pilot house and
peered out on the water, where red
lights and green lights, with many
of yellow and white dripped zigzag
fashion down from the wharves and
ships. Where do you Sleep" ques-
toned I. "Why here" he replied, Gin
this very pilot house, on that nice
fluffy bunk you're settin on; an
sometimes 1 sleep at that wheel,
a-steerin' this boat, sir. Can't be help
ed, sir. The hours we work would
stave In trained nurse, an send a
sentinel to be shot. Why, man, I've
seed the time when I've stuck by that
wheel twenty grim hours at stretch;
once 1t war forty-two hours. And
when you read in the paper about
town a big propeller clean through
a dock, or jammin' her into her next
door neighbor fer keeps, don't you say
us tug folks are Johnnie Raws. Just
say we're worked and worked till we
sleep at the wheel. For that's Gods
truth, sir."-Atlantic.
