A nephew of Col. Lanaham of Tex

gro baptizing in Texas:
An old negro preacher did the hon

was a coal-black negro woman. The

It All Depends on You.

It isn't the way that is stormy
Where the storm clouds hide the day
1t isn't the thorns that pierce the feet;
It's just how you walk the way.
1t isn't that lions linger
With teeth that are keen to Stay
It isn't the sorrow to-day-to-morrow;
It's just how you walk the way.
1t isn't that crowns await you
The gold of the rainbow's ray
It's only the Faith that lives through
Death,
It's Just how you walk the way.

was getting big girl, now. She went
to school in winter, and her teacher
said she was a great scholar. She
learned to read and often read to
Jack-stories of the sea that he liked
best, and stories of strange countries
where he was going when-well, when
Mabelle no longer needed him.
One summer, when Mabelle was in
her fourteenth year, an old lady and
her married daughter came to board
for a few weeks at the little fishing
village. They sat all day on the beach
and watched the children play, and
especially watched Mabelle. She re-
minded them SO much of a sister and
daughter that had been lost at sea
long before.
"Mabelle loves the sea and watches
it by the hour, just as Jenny used to
do" said the married daughter. Jenny

was always perfectly daft about the
ocean, do you remember? Especially
just before her Mabelle was born"
Well, of course, they saw Mabelle's
baby clothes that Mother Kipperly
had saved, and the locket and all the
little things; and when they saw, they
knew this Mabelle was their Mabelle;
and they took her into their arms as
the long lost dear one, and wept over
her, and kissed her many times, and
in moment learned to love her a
great deal. They gave her new
clothes, much prettier than those
Mother Kipperly made for her. And
she liked them, and was very happy
One day. before Mabelle went away,
Jack told her that he had Joined the
crew Oh a tramp steamer, and they
were going to sail around the horn
for China, and they would start in two
weeks. Mabelle was extremely sorry.
But Jacks going away made it easier
for her to go. If Jack were to be
gone she didn't want to stay by the
sea.
1 shall not stop to tell you how Ma
belle was turned into a fine lady She
was dark and silent, with big green
ish eyes like the sea. All the men
thought she was very fascinating and
strange, and they tried their best to
make love to her; but it was difficult,
for this tall Mabelle was trifle chilly,
like the sea, and could frown and sulk,
as the ocean does, and could be very
tempestuous when they pushed her too
far. But they only loved her the
more for all her queer moods.
There was one man in particular
that her grandmother and aunt favor
ed and wished her to marry
They spent that summer at Marble
head. Mabelle liked to watch the
angry ocean dash on the rocks and
spout far, far up into the sky, break
sank gurgling and sullen back into
the gulf of the waves. She was think
ing of Jack. Where was he? Why
had she never heard of him? She
had tried. She had written to him
many times. But no word of Jack
had ever come.
Mr.. Farley came looking for her and
found her musing thus alone by the
raging sea. He was a sleek man,
with a big paunch and self-satisfied
eyes. he was rich. and he would
make a good husband. Oh, yes! There
was no doubt about that He would.
restrain Mabelles wild nature, thought
her grandmother; he would make her
attend to her social duties more
strictly and not outrage the conven-
tiona!ities so often, thought her aunt
AS for Mr. Farley, he would be as
proud of her as of a stuffed eagle he
had shot in the mountains, or of the
skin OF a panther he had brought
down.
And Mabel was going to marry him.
He asked her then and there by the
side of the sounding sea, and she had
grown weak and had said yes. But
she was silent and terrible, and he
had not yet dared to kiss her.

The Girl With the Seagreen
Eyes.
BY SHERWIN CODY.

They found her floating in the calm
waters of the bay, a child of three
dashed to two spars. The hot sun
had dried her dress and warmed her
little body back to consciousness, and
now she was holding out her tiny
arms and cooling and calling in de-
light as if she loved the ocean as a
mother; and the ocean seemed to be
handling her gently up and down with
infinite affection-the ocean that had
just torn her from her parents arms,
and perhaps engulfed them in her
omniverous NAV.
Jack found her. See them spars!'
he shouted as he was pushing his
boat out There's a leddy's dress on
them spars. Let's have it,
He showed his dingy into the water
and leaped after at bound. A mo-
ment more and he was pulling out
toward the object he had seen, MAX
ing the boat jump clean out of the
water at every stroke
"Hey!" he shouted. IT'S babby-
a pretty little babby. And she's all
right, too. Hey, Mac, come out and
help me heave her in
The fact is, Jack was a trif1e fright
ened at the lace-trimmed dimity dress
and the golden hair, and the locket
that hung about the neck and the silk
stockings, and all the rest. At last
she held out her hand and said,
Mani" Jack took this as an invita-
ton to be friendly; so he bent over
and smiled at her. When Mac came
they lifted her into Jacks dingy and
from that moment the little Teddy"
as Jack always called her, and the
good-hearted, strong-limbed sixteen
year old fisher boy were the very best
of friends
They found the name Mabelle on
her clothing, but no one ever came
to inquire for the lost child, and the
fisher folks were much too simple to
go searching for her father and
mother, or her distant relatives. She
was strong and hearty child, thin
and 1.-THE, but firm-footed and as &C
tive as roe. Her fine clothes were
laid aside, and Mother Kipperly made
calico dress for her, in which she
might have been seen running over
the sand barefooted to meet Jack when
he came home at night, or to bid
him good-by when he went out in the
carly JACK never got
started so early that Mabelle was not
up and ready to see him Off
The child loved the boy, and the
boy loved the child. Their mutual af-
lection was notorious. When the lit
tie girl was sick. she wanted none to
rock her to sleep but only Jack; and
when she was well, it was with Jack
best Of all that she liked to play She
would leave the other children at any
time to take walk around the cove
with him, and many time he took
her alone with him in his boat, far
out beyond the bay When the water
was warm, he taught her to swim,
too, and she could dart through the
tapping waves like a fish with a head
of sunny hair. Mother Kipperly, who
lover her too, called her the "mer-
maid
Next to her love for Jack, Mabelle
loved the ocean. She would play by
it all day long, from early in the morn
ing till late at night. When it was
calm and green and shiny, she danced
about on the sands, just wetting her

and muttering Mabelle wore a Srown
on her face and was very wilful, and
raced wildly along the shore, as if
she were defying the big waves to
catch her and carry her off to the
mysterious green depths over which
on calm days she had gazed so often.
Jack alone she liked to have near her
on such occasions. There was never
time when she did not like to have
Jack with her, for Jack seemed to
understand and sympathize with all

moods.
