Uncle Terry
80. By....
CHARLES CLARK MUM

SYNoPs1s.-Uncle Terry Is the keeper
of the Cape light on Southport Island.
He has an adopted daughter Telly
(Etelka), grown to womanhood, VINO
was rescued when a baby from the
wreck Of the Norwegian ship Peterson.
Albert and Alice Page are two or
phans with heritage Of debt, living IN
the village of Sandgate. Albert Is
college graduate, and through the In
huence of his chum: Frank Mason s gets
a position in the law office OF "Old
Nick" Frye in Boston. Frye is scound-
rel and is attorney for Franks father,
a wealthy Boston merchant. He wants
Albert to keep up his intimacy with
Frank, who has a yacht, plenty OF mon
ey and nothing to do but amuse him
self. In an evenings outing with
Frank, Albert fritters away $40. AL
the same time Alice Is walking four
miles a day to teach school and sup
porting herself and Aunt Susan. Frye
increases Albert's pay from s75 to Sllo
a month as bribe to spy upon the
Nasons. Albert tells Frank of his
debts, Alice's struggles and his dislike
of expensive follies. Frank confesses
his disgust with an idle life and induces
his father to make Albert his attorney
in place of Frye Albert has $4,000 a
year to attend to Nason's affairs. He
takes Frank to his village home for
Christmas, with the inevitable result
that his friend is smitten with Alice:
Frank Is delighted with the country
holiday of sleighrides and skating.
Alice keeps him at a distance and tells
her brother that his chum ought to
work for living. A notice appears IN
the papers calling for the heirs OF Eric
Peterson of Stockholm, whose son and
his wife and child were wrecked on
the Maine coast. Frye Is the attorney.
Uncle Terry goes to Boston and after
telling his story in full gives Frye $500
to recover the estate for Telly. Frank
takes a hint from Alice and studies
law. Albert plans summer vacation
trip to his home for himself and chum.
Alice resolves not to fall in love with
the city chap according to the plot.
Alice avoids meeting Frank alone.
However, he scatters tips so freely
among the villagers that gosslps set
him down as a millionaire courting the
pretty schoolma'am. Franks yacht
Gypsy, lands on Southport island. Al
bert gets lost and the yacht sails with
out him. He falls in with Uncle Ter
the story Of the inheritance. Albert
returns to the yacht, confessing that
he has fallen in love with beach
girl. He goes back to the Cape and
sketches Telly in the pose he first saw
her. Frye gets all the proofs in Telly,s
case and calls for more money. AL
bert takes the matter in hand, mean
while losing his heart hopelessly to
Telly. Frank abandons the yachting
party to join his mother and sisters In
the mountains. Frye loses money In
speculation and demands $500 from
Uncle Terry. Frank brings his sister
Blanch to Sandgate, and she at once
becomes a warm admirer of Alice. In
spite of the girls coyness Frank half
gains the battle. Frank proceeds to
win his aristocratic mother over Frye
loses all and takes his own life. I'm

risk Of sailors getting out Of their
course owing to some inaccuracy In
their compasses. The ice plain was
sight and the men were at length
forced to return on account Of the
need for procuring food. In all they
travelled 155 miles, finding perfectly
level surface without undulations of
any kind.
| OF the animal life in the Antarctic
not much information Is given. The
penguin, the petrol and the seal seem
to constitute the fauna Of the ice.
DR.. Hodson has brought back a num-
ber of specimens Of a ten-legged spi-
der. Eight Is the usual number alot-
ted to this insect.
When 1t came to matter Of requir-
ing them for food seals were not by
any means abundant. Four kinds were
met with, that known as Weddeps be-
ing the best eating. The Antarctic
fur Is not of the marketable kind.
biologists have for sometime been
puzzled to account for the scars, old
and recent, so frequently found on the
smaller seals. The Discovery expedi-
ton Is able to throw a light on the
matter.
| When q large sea leopard, a variety
Of seal, was cut open, the remains OF
an ordinary seal were found In the
animals stomach. AS he possesses an
unusually fierce set Of teeth, 1t is sup
posed that the sea leopard Is in the
habit Of acting the cannibal toward
his smaller brethren.
The skua gulls are the scavengers
Of the frigid regions. They are not
timid and will come up in numbers as
soon as a seal has been killed and
straightway begin feeding on the car
cass.
The giant petrol shares the distinc-
ton. He feeds till he is too gorged to
fly and then runs in peculiar way
when chased, spreading his wings as
sails. II the chasing lasts long enough
his digestion comes to his rescue and
he suddenly raises himself and flies
off.
The penguins seem to have provided
the explorers with certain amount
of amusement. They used to prod the
emperor penguin "a great fellow
standing three feet and weighing 60
or 70 pounds) with the end Of ski
stick, when he would give it tremen-
dous smacks which made the hand tin
gle, at the same time emitting curious
cultural cries.
The adelies, smaller kind, are most
innuisitive customers, always coming
to see what Is going on, scrambling
along the ice on their bellies, using
the flippers like canoe paddles. The
penguin dives and steeplechases and
Jumps straight out Of the water on to
the ice, falls fiat and goes through the
funniest maneuvers. Large numbers
Of penguins march along like regi-
ments in Indian file, wheel and turn
and generally act as though on pa

added tenderly, "Would It pain you to

Father has told me little Of It, but
I know he has kept most Of the trouble
to himself. It's his way. Since he
came back from Boston he has acted
like his old self, and no words can tell
how glad I am. As for the money. II
must and shall go to him. every penny

II thank you for what you have

ed, smiling, as she looked at him curl
ously, but you shall hear 1t In due
time-up at the cove, maybe, If tomor
row afternoon is pleasant. I, too. am
superstitious in some ways"
Perhaps to keep Telly from guessing
what his story was he talked upon ev-
cry subject that might interest her,
avoiding the one nearest his heart. 1t
came with a surprise when the little
clock chimed II, and he at once arose
and begged her pardon for the possible
trespass upon conventional hours. "You
will go up to the cove with mel" he
asked as he paused moment at the
foot Of the stairs.
81 shall enjoy it very much, and l
have a favor want to ask Of you,
which is to let me make sketch OF you

drifted away"
When he retired it was long after he
heard the clock downstairs strike the
midnight hour, and in his dreams he
saw Telly's face smiling In the IRE

sponded Telly, land certainly not clad
as she has to be. She has little pride
even If she is poor"
"Oh, I meant no reflection, only the
scene was so impressive I wondered
how it would affect a fashionable
church gathering. I think It would do
them good to listen to real sincere
prayer that came from some ones
heart and was not manufactured for
the occasion. Those who wear fine
silks and broadcloth and sit in cush-
:oned pews seldom hear such a prayer
as she uttered that night"
Then as Telly made no response he
sat in silence few moments mentally
contrasting the girl with those he had
met in Boston.
And what contrast!
This girl clad in a gray dress severe
in it's simplicity and so Ill fitting that 1t
really detracted from the beautiful out
lines of her form. Her luxuriant tress-
es were braided and coiled low on the
back Of her head, and at her throat a
tiny bow Of blue. Not an ornament Of
any nature, not even a ring, only the
crown Of her sunny hair, two little
rose leaves in her cheeks and the
Queenlike majesty Of throat and shoul-
ders and bust, so classic that not one
woman in a hundred but would envy
her their possession.
And what a contrast in speech, ex-
preston and ways-timid to the verge
Of bashfulness, utterly unaffected and
yet sincere, tender and thoughtful In
each and every utterance, beautiful
flower grown to perfection among the
rocks of this seldom visited island, un-
trained by conventionality and unsul-
lied by the world! 81 wonder how she
would act If suddenly dropped into the
Nasons home, or what would Alice
think of her." Then, as he noted the
sad little droop Of her exquisite lips,
and as she. wondering at his silence,
turned her pleading eyes toward him,
there came into his heart In an instant
q feeling that, despite her timidity and
her lack of worldly wisdom, he would
value her love and confidence for
above any woman's he had ever met.
"AIiss Terry" he said gently, "do you
know I fancy that living here, as you
have all your life, within sound Of the
sad sea waves, has woven a little Of
their melancholy into your nature and
a little of their pathos into your eyes.
I thought so the first time I saw you,
and the more see Of you the more I
think 1t Is so."
"The ocean does sound sad to me-"
she said, land at times it makes me
feel blue. Then 1 am so much alone
and have no one In whom to confide
my feelings. Mother would not un-
derstand me, and If father thought I
wasn't happy it would make him mis-
erable." Then, turning her pathetic
eyes full upon her questioner, she add
ed: did you ever think, Mr.. Page, that
the sound of the waves might be the
voices Of drowned people trying to be
heard? 1 believe every human being
has soul, and for all we know If they
have gone down into the ocean their
souls may be in the water and possibly
are trying to speak to U.s."
"Oh, no, no, Miss Terry. That is all
imagination on your part and due to
your being too much alone with your

Nearly every people on earth has
distinctive means Of amusing Itself
some game more or less hazardous but
requiring skill in the player. The Eng
lish are devoted to cricket, the Amer

rea prefer to indulge In stone throw
ing, at which they are phenomenally
expert. Travellers soon learn OF the
art acquired by stone fighters, though
there is but one day Of the year given
over to it. If any one offend Korean
he answers with a stone. During the
Chinese japanese war the latter found
their greatest difficulty in lodging
missiles from rooftops and trees. All
classes indulge the habit. It Is said
of a Korean woman that she never falls
to throw a stone straight. Within
bounds she Is as expert as man. The
childhood pleasure Of skipping stones
along the surface Of streams Is as well
known to the Korean as to the Yam

In anticipation Of the stone-throwing
fete the natives save all shapes and
kinds of rocks. Even the smallest
child has his stone pile and takes pride
in it. They practice diligently, aiming
at different targets. Often hemp

the entire family use him for fake

had come, when one day AL
R~NS bert packed q valise and
tSEsJ boarded the early morning
train for Maine. An insidious longing
to see the girl that had been in his
thoughts for four months had come to
him, and week by week increased until
it had overcome business demands.
Then he had q little good news from
Stockholm, which, as he said to him
self, would serve as an excuse. He
had told Frank what his errand was
to Uncle Terry, and to say to any that
called that he would return in two
days. OF his reception by Telly he was
q good deal In doubt. She had written
to him in reply to his letters. but be-
tween each Of the simple, unaffected
lines all he could read was an under
tone Of sadness. That, with a vivid
recollection Of what Uncle Terry had
disclosed, led him to believe there was
some burden on her mind.
When he grasped Uncle Terry's hand
at the boat landing that old mans face
fairly beamed.

"and tell you what I've learned about
the legacy"
Uncle Terry's face frightened. "Hev
ye got good news?" he asked.
'In a way, yes" replied Albert.
'"This firm Of Thygeson & Co. write ex-
pressing surprise that Frye should

When Uncle Terry's home was reach

warmly welcoming smile from Telly.
