There was the white haired mother,
the stately little royalist, Madam Tai
bot, who slept in peace on the hill at
Fairview Hall, her ambitions, her hopes
and her loyalty buried with her, 1eay-
ing the place untenanted save by visit

Answers? They crowded thick upon
her! There were the officers Of the
Yarmouth. Captain Vincent, Beau
champ, Hollins and all the other of.
lhcers and men with whom she had
come in contact on that frightful cruise
There were the heroic men who had
stayed by their ship, who had seen the
favored few go away in the only boat
that was left seaworthy, without a
murnur at being left behind, who had
faced death unheeding, unrepining,
sinking down in the dark water with a
cheer upon their lips. There was the
old sailor, too, with his unquenchable
patriotism, her friend because the
friend of her lover; and Philip, her
brother; and there was Seymour him.

himl Gone, and how she loved him!
She leaned her head upon her hand
and thought of him. Here in this boat
house he had first spoken to her of his
love; here she had first felt his lips
touch her cheek. There, rocked gently
by the light breeze, upon the water at
her feet was the familiar little pleasure
boat She had not allowed any one to
row her about in it since her return, in
spite Of much entreaty. 1t was this
very cloak she wore that day, nearly
the very hour. The place was redolent
with sweet memories of happy days,
though to think of them now broke her
heart.
It all came back to her as it had
come again and again. She briefly re-
viewed that acquaintance, short though
it was, which had changed the whole
course of her life. She saw him again
as he struck prompt to defend her
honor in the hall, resenting a ruf1ian's
soiling hand stretched out to her. She
saw him lying wounded and senseless
there at her feet She saw him stretch
ed prone on that shattered deck on that
ruined ship, pale, blood stained, sense

cry. She would have called once more
upon him save that she knew humanity
has no voice which reaches out into the
darkness by which it may call back
those who are once gone to live beyond
She did not weep; that were small
thing, trifie. She sat and brooded.
4 -Four short months had changed it
all. How young she had been Would
she ever be young again? How full of
the JOY of life! Its currents swept by
her unheeded now. Why had not God
been merciful to her that she could
have died there upon the scar she
