Uncle Terry looked at Albert mo-

exclaimed, 81 can't thank We 'nough

II thank you for your kindly words,
Mr.. Terry" responded Albert, land I

mo. If the Gypsy shows up today
we will stay in the harbor tonight, and
I should like to have you and Miss
Telly visit her." Then as the old man
pushed off and pulled out Of the cove
with long, slow strokes, Albert watch
ed him with a new interest. "Poor old
fellow" he thought. Gle is honest as
the day is long and has heart of gold
beneath his blunt speech. How hard
he has to work for what he gets, and
what vile thing in Frye to rob him
so" When the old man was out Of
sight Albert strolled over to the vii
lage. On the outer side Of the harbor
and opposite where the houses were he
and busy at work spreading split fish
upon them was the old lady who had
thanked the Lord so fervently at the
prayer meeting.
For an hour he strolled around the
harbor watching the men at work on
boats or fishing gear and shifting
the salt sea odor Of the ocean breeze,
and then returned to the point
and began sketching the lighthouse.
He was absorbed in that when he
heard sharp whistle, and, looking up,
there was the Gypsy just entering
the harbor. He ran to the cove where
he had left his boat, and by the time
the yacht was anchored had pulled
alongside. To his surprise no one was
aboard but Frank. ''Where are the
test of the boys" he asked, as that
young man grasped his boat. Frank
laughed. ''Well, just about now they
are playing tennis and calling fifteen
love- and thirty love- with a lot of girls
down at Bar Harbor. The fact is,
Bert" he continued as Albert stepped
aboard, ''our gander cruise has come
to an end. They ran into some girls
they knew, and after that all the
Gypsy was good for was place to eat
and sleep in. I've run her up here and
shall let you keep her with you until
you get ready to go home. I'm going
to cut sticks for the mountains, and if
can get one of the girls to go with
me may visit Sandgate"
Albert laughed heartily. want to

he queried.
swell, maybe" replied Frank. 'sThe
fact of the matter is, the whole trip
has gone wrong from the start. You
know what wanted, but as it couldn't
be, I did the next best thing and made
up this party, and now the cruise has
ended in fizzle. By the way, where
is the girl with the wonderful eyes you
met hereY
Gust now imagine she's helping
her mother in the house," answered
Albert quietly; and then he added,
''Well, what is the programme, and
where are you going with the Gypsy ~
Il want to be landed at the nearest
port where can reach a railroad, and
then you can dc. as you please with her.
