1elly lue uSAl oieei hooh
when she and Albert were
&5g3 ready to start on their trip
to the cove, and, unlocking small an
mex to Uncle Terry's boathouse,
she showed him a dainty cedar craft.
cushioned and carpeted. "You may
help me launch the Sea She'll" she
added smiling, land then you may
steer"
"No, that is the lady's privilege In
all voyages" he answered, land we
must begin this one right"
1t was a good four mile pull to the
mouth of the inlet, and when he
helped his fair passenger out he said:
do you mean to say you rowed up
here alone every day to work on that
picture. Telly? You will let me call
you Telly now, won't you?"
"Why not? All my friends do, and !
feel you are my friend" Then she
added: "Now l am going to have my
revenge and make you pose while /
sketch this time. 1t was the other
way before"
"I am glad 1t is," he said, "for my
arms are too tired to use for an hour.
How do you want me, fat on the rock
fast asleep, the way I was when my
boat drifted away"
"Oh, no, that would look as If you
were dead, and as this Is to be my re-
minder Of you l want you very. much
alive" AS for the pose she wanted
Albert to assume, she could not de-
termine which she liked the best.
81 want to sketch you in the position
most natural to you here" she said
finally, land must ask you to choose
that yourself"
"Let us trim the boat the way mine
was that day, and I will sit beside 1t
and smoke while you work" -
The idea was adopted, and while
Telly sketched he smoked, contented
to watch the winsome face, 80 oblivi-
GUS to his admiring glances.
"There," she observed, after a half
hour Of active penciling, please lay
your cigar aside and look pleasant /
want to catch the expression Of your
face"
When the sketch was completed she
asked If he had any suggestions to
make.
"Only one. I would like you In the
picture and sitting beside me-"
81 would rather not be in It," she
replied soberly. 81 only want to see
you as you are here today. 1t may be
long time before you come to the
Cape again"
"Would you like me to come often"
"Of course" she answered, turning
away her face. 1T is 80 lonesome
here, and there is no one care to talk
with except father and mother and
Aunt Leach and Mandy Oaks"
Albert's heart began to beat with un-
usual speed. Never in his life before
had he felt the impulse to utter words
of love to any woman. "Telly," he
said, II promised to tell you a little
story here today, but it's all said In
few words. love you, and I want
you to share my life and all that can
do to make you happy" A trihe In
coherent, but expressive.
For moment, while the tide Of feel
ing surged through that queens heart
and into Ler cheeks, even to the tips
of her ears, she was silent, and then, as
both her hands went to her face, she
almost whispered: "Oh, no, no; can
not! I can never leave father and
mother alone here! 1t would break
my heart!"
"But you do care little for me, don't
you, Telly?" he begged, trying to draw
her hands away from her blushing
face. "Just little, Telly; only say a
little, to give me hope"
And then, as one Of the hands he
was trying to gain was yielded and as
he softly stroked and then raised 1t to
his lips, she turned her pleading eyes
to him and said: you won't be angry,
will you? And you will come and see
me once in awhile, won't you? And
let me paint picture to give you when
you Gomez"
1t may have been the pain In his
face, added to her own desolation. that
overcame all else, for now she bowed
her head, and the tears came.
II thank you for so much, Telly," he
answered tenderly, land God bless you
for it. do not give you up and shall
not if have to wait all my life for
you. 1 can be patient If I only have
hope" He brushed his face with one
hand and. still holding hers, arose and
drew her up. Then Albert slyly put
his arm around her waist, and as he
drew her to him he whispered, Just
one, Telly. my sweetheart, to make
this spot seem more sacred"
1t was not refused.
"Come out on the point, dear" he
said as she tried to draw herself away,
80 we can see the ocean better. l
will tell you the story I promised last
evening"" He still held her a half
prisoner. and when they were seated
where the waves were beating almost
at their feet he began his recital. When
he came to that portion in which Frye
played a part, and ending IN such
| CHASTITY denouement, she shuddered.
THAT is the one horrible part, Of
