lieve he would like to have, but that a ship, with sails and anchors and hatchways, should be one of these things it is hard to imagine"
 Young Newcombe thought it was impossible to imagine. but he ex- pressed himself discreetly.
 "It must be that he is going to en- gage in trade" he said; has he not told you of his intentions?"
 Not much," said she He says he is going to cruise about among the islands, and when I asked him if he would take me he laughed and an- swered that he might do so, but that I must never say 8 word of it to Madam Bonnet, for if she heard of it she might change his plans"
 The wicked young man found him. self almost wishing that the somewhat bad-tempered Madam Bonnet might hear of and change any plan which might take her husbands daughter from this town, especially in vessel; for vessels were always terribly tardy when anyone was waiting for their return. And, besides, it often hap pened that vessels never came back at all.
 "I shall take little trip with him even if we don't go far; it would be ridiculous for my father to own a ship and for me never to sail in her.
 That would not be so bad salu Master Martin, feeling that a short ab- sence might be endured. Moreover, if a little pleasure trip were to be made, it was reasonable to suppose that other people, not belonging to the Bon- net family might be asked to sail as guests.
 What my father expects to trade in," said she, contemplatively gazing before her, II am sure 1 do not know. It cannot be horses or cattle, for he has not enough of them to make such a venture profitable. And as to sugar cane, or anything from his farm, am sure he has a good enough market here for all he has to sell. Certainly he does not produce enough to make it necessary for him to buy ship in order to carry them away"
 ''It is opined,'' said Martin, 'by the people of the town, that Maj. Bonnet intends to become commercial man and to carry away to the other islands, and perhaps to the old country itself, the goods of other people,"
 Now that would be fine!" said Mistress Kate, her eyes sparkling, flor I should then surely go with him and see the world, and perhaps London" And her face flushed with the pros pect.
 Martins face did not flush. But if your fathers ship sailed on long voyage he said, with suspicion of apprehension, he would not sail with her; he would send her under the charge of others"
 The girl shook her head When she sails. said she. The sails in her. If

the child was but year old, was a middle-aged Englishman of fair es tate, in the island of Barbadoes. He had been an officer in the army, was well educated and intelligent, and now, in vigorous middle life, had become a confirmed country gentleman, His herds and his crops were, to him. the principal things on earth, with the eX- ception of his daughter; for, although he had married for the second time, there were a good many things which he valued more than his wife. And it had therefore occasioned a good deal of surprise, and more or less small talk among his neighbors, that Maj. Bonnet should want to buy ship. But he had been soldier in his youth, and sol- diers are very apt to change their man her of living, and so, if Maj. Bonnet had grown tired of his farm and had determined to go into commercial en- terprises, it was not, perhaps, very amazing thing that military man who had turned planter should now turn to be something else.
 Madam Bonnet had heard of the ship, although she had not been told anything about her step-daughter talk ing trip in her. and if she had heard she might not have objected Skv had

This was Master Martin NeWcombe, young Englishman, not two years froE. his native land, and now a prosperous farmer on the other side of the river.
 AS Master Newcombe stepped near his spirits rose, as they had not al ways risen, as he approached Mistress Kate, for he perceived that, although she held the handle of her rod in her hand, the other end Of it was lying on the ground, not very far from the bait and the hook which, it was very plain, had not been in the water at all. She must have been thinking of something else besides fishing. he thought. But he did not dare to go on with that sort of thin ng in the way he would have liked do it. He had not too great a b; in himself. though he was very l. in love with Kate Bon net.
 ''ls this the best time of day for fishing, Master Newcombe?" she said, without rising or offering him her hand. For my part, l don't believe it is'
 He smiled as he threw his hat upon the ground. Let me put your line a little farther out" And so saying, he took the rod from her hand and stepped between her and the bait, which must have been HOW quite hot from lying so long in bit of sunshine. He rearranged the bait and threw the line far out into the river. Then he gave her the rod again. He seated himself on the ground near by.
 This is the second time I have been over the bridge to-day" he said, "and this morning, very early, I saw for the first time your fathers ship, which was lying below the town. It is a fine vessel, so far as I can judge, being landsman."
 Yes" said she, land I have been on board of her and have gone all over her. and have seen many things which are queer and strange to me. But the strangest thing about her, to my mind, being a landswoman, is that she should belong to my father. There are many things which he has not. which 1t would be easy to be-

 ''Dickory," said she, T am fright ened; I want to go on shore, and want to see my fasner and tell him these things
 But there Is no boat" said Dickory; "every boat has left the ship" But you have one," said she, look ing over the side.
 Tt is & poor little canoe" ho ap- swered, "and I am afraid they would not let me take you away, having no orders to do so.'
 "Dicko,y," said she, what shali I do? Shall I scream and wave my Handkerchief? Perhaps they may see and hear me from the town. "No," said Dickory. ''I would not do that. The night is coming on, and the sky is cloudy. And besides, if you make a noise, these fellows mtght do something"
 "ck, Dickory, what shall do?"
 You must wal. for your father" he said; The must be aere socn, and the moment you see him, call to him and make him take you to shore. You should both get away from this vcssel as soon as you can
 For moment the girl reflected ''Dickory," said she, "T wish you would take a message for me to Master Martin Newcombe He may 6o able to get here even before my father ar- rives."
 Dickory Charter knew MT. New combe, and he had heard what tmany people had talked about, that he was counting Maj. Bonnet's daughter. Ths day before Dickory would not have cared who the young planter was counting, but this evening, even to aIs own surprise, he cared very much.

in the neighborhood of Bridgetown, in the island of Barba- does. The seventeenth century was not IT years old, but the girl who walked slowly down to the river bank was three years it's senior. She car ried a fishing-rod and line, and her name was Kate Bonnet. She was a Fbright-faced, quick-moving young per- son. and apparently did not expect to catch many fish, for she lad no bas- ket in which to carry her inny prizes. Nor, apparently, did she have any bait, except that which was upon her hook and which had been affixed there by one of the servants at her home, not far away In fact, Mistress Kate was too nicely dressed and her gloves were too clean to have much to do with fish or bait, but she seated her self on little rock in a shady spot not far from the water and threw forth her line. Then she gazed about her; a little up the river and a good deal down the river.
 There was a bunch of white flowers in the hat of the young girl; not a very large one, and not very small one, but of such size as might be easily seen from the bridge, had any one happened to be crossing about that time. And, in fact, as the wearer of the hat and the white flowers still con- tinued to gaze at the bridge, she saw some one come out upon it with a quick, buoyant step, and then she saw him stop and gaze steadily up the river At this she turned her head, and her eyes went out over the beauti- ful landscape and wide terraces rising above each other towards the sky.
 It is astonishing how soon after this a young man, dressed in brown suit, and very pleasant to look upon, came rapidly walking along the liver bank.

you had heard him talking as I have heard him, you would not ooubt that. And if he sails I sail''
 Martins soul grew quite sad. There were very good reasons to believe that thisN dear girl might sail away from Bridgetown, and from him. She might come back to the town, but she might not come back to him.
 Mistress Kate" said he, looking very earnestly at her, ''do you know that such speech as this makes my heart sink? You know I love you,
