When he rowed out of the little har-

rock beside her the evening before. 1t

unconscious Of 1t, and when he helped
his companion out and secured the boat
he said: Now, | am going to ask a

The color came to Telly's face at

claimed when it was finished, 81 shall

she replied with smile.
"That sounded like Alice" he said,
and added hastily, "Alice is my only
sister, and think more Of her than Of
any other woman living"
Telly sat on the boats cushions in
shady nook and watched Albert finish
his sketch and then listened to his
talk. He told her all about his home
and sister and Frank as well. In a

come ashore and not only thank you
for all your kindness, but make you
visit
When Uncle Terry had gone Albert
related his experiences for the past
eighteen hours to the party.-that is,
all but one incident, or rather surprise,
Then nothing would do but they must
all go ashore and look the quaint little
village over.
Il wish you would keep away from
the lighthouse, boys" Albert said. as
they We're getting into their boat. 'Mr.
Terry's family are rather sensitive peo-
pie and may not like to have a lot of
us trooping around their place. l am
going over there this afternoon to-
make sketch, and then I'll ask per-
mission and We'll all go there some
other day"
He had whispered to Frank to re-
main on the yacht, and when the rest
We're gone he said to him: Frank,
am going to confide something to you.
The fact is, Frank, I've tumbled into
IN adventure and fallen in love with a
girl on sight and without having ex-
changed ten words with her! She is
Mr.. Terry's daughter, and has eyes that
take your breath away and form like
the Venus of Milo. She paints pictures
that are wonder, considering she
never has taken lesson, and has a
face more bewitching than any wom-
ans ever saw. 1t is like painters
dream"
"Well, you have gone daft, old man."
replied the astonished Frank.
"But you haven't heard it all vet.
This unique old man, who saved me
from sleeping all night in a thicket of
briers and who has opened his heart
and home to me, has fallen into the
clutches of-Nicholas Fryer
Great Scott!" exclaimed Frank
"And how on earth did he ever find
Frye, or Frye find him? Was your old
man of the island hunting around Bos-
ton for some one to rob him?"
"That I do not know yet" replied
Albert. "All know is that Mr.. Terry
has paid Frye about $4OO, and, as he
says, so far has nothing to show for it.
What the business was expect to
learn later. Now, what I am coming
at is this: Can't you manage to leave
me here for the rest Of the day. or. bet

to have ye.'
Il will, thank you," replied Albert
This point, and in fact this village
was such surprise to me and is so
charming am going to devote all my
day to it, Then, bidding the ladies
good morning, he followed Uncle Terry
over to the cove, where they boarded
his dOry and started out to find the
Gypsy.
"And she has the soul Of an artist
in her," Albert said to himself, as
Uncle Terry pulled the dory out of the
harbor and up the coast toward where
he had been left stranded. "And what
eyes, and what a perfect form"
AS good luck would have it, when
they rounded point, there was the
Gypsy following the island shore down
to meet them. Albert stood up and
waved his cap. He was answered by
the whistle and in an instant every one
on board of her, even the crew, We're
out on her bows and waving caps
Justify. The skipper kept the whistle
blowing, and as the yacht slowed
down and Uncle Terry pulled along
side, Albert was seized and almost
dragged on board. Frank was SO over
joyed he Rugged him and then gave
vent to war whoop that might have
been heard the entire length of South
port island.
I'VE guessed what had happened to
you" he said, "when we picked up
your boat. 1t was almost dark when
one Of the crew saw an empty boat
floating UP the bay We We're all down
in the cabin at that time and had not
noticed how late 1t was when he
called us. Two of the crew lowered
the other boat and when they got
back with yours we nearly had fit.
The missing cushions and loop on the
painter gave us clew and we half ex-
pected you would find your way back
to the Gypsy by land"
II guess you're not much acquainted
with the interior of Southport island"
put in Albert, and then going forward
he brought back Uncle Terry and in
troduced him to the crowd. By this
time the Gypsy was almost down to

steamed in. That worthy man had
been looking over her and his admira-
ton was evident
"a purity slick craft, boys" he said
to the party as the Gypsy's anchor
ceased rafting out Of the hawsehole-
"a purity slick craft, an must "a cost
a heap o. money"
Then as he pulled his own weather
beaten dory that had been towing
astern along to the gangway, Albert
stepped up to him and said in low
voice:
