"Be veree careful wiz my VIOLIN" sad
a voice from the side OF the boat. ut
was given me by re Queen OF ltalee WIZ
her own fair hands, and Is worth five
hundred guinea. Hold re boat tight. or
/ shall tumble in re water, an drown
myself dead"
Tom Masterson gave few short or
ders to the hand who embodied In him
self the mate and crew Of the Sandvl'e
Belle. Sail was made and the zach.
slipped from her mornings to drift slowly
on the moonlit tide.
As the boatman had predicted, there
was not breath OF wlnd, ana the slgnor,
secure from the perils of seasickness,
poured forth love song after love song,
with much rolling Of the eyes and ten
der glances in the direction OF Diana.
Soon Billy had no heart to throw the
obnoxious musician overheard. He cat
silent and glum, thinking how In the
course Of a couple Of hours he would
have parted from Diana forever.
Presently he began to count the min
utes, because Diana herself had 'ome
to his side and had begun to chat quite
kindly.
Presently she moved away again. Hail
the trip was accomplished. ior tne 'aenl
had drifted to the tall OF Gunspit ssna.

Tom Masterson casually n
