added: ''Now am going to have my
revenge and make you pose while
sketch this time. It was the other
way before"
Il am glad it is" he said, "for my
arms are too tired to use for an hour.
How Go you want me, fiat on the rock
FAST asleep, the way I was when my
boat drifted away?"
ooh, no, that would look as if you
were dead, and as this is to be my re-
hinder of you want you very much
alive" AS for the pose she wanted
Albert to assume, she could not de-
termine which she liked the best.
Il want to sketch you in the position
most natural to you here" she said
finally, ''and must ask you to choose
that yourself
LET us trim the boat the way mine
was that day, and will sit beside it
and smoke while you work.
The idea was adopted, and while
Telly sketched he smoked, contented
to watch the winsome face, so oblivi-
GUS to his admiring glances
There" she observed, after a half
hour OF active penciling, please lay
your cigar aside and look pleasant. I
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-"
Il would rather not be in it," she
replied soberly. II 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 so lonesome
here, and there is no one I care to talE
with except father and mother and
Aunt Leach and Mandy Oaks"
Albert's heart began to beat with I'm.
usual speed. Never in his life before
had he felt the impulse to utter words
of love to any woman. 'Telly," he
said, Il promised to tell you little
story here today, but it's all said in a
few words. 1 love you, and I want
you to share my life and all that can
do to make you happy" A tride in
coherent, but expressive.
For moment, while the tide Of feel
ing surged through that queens heart
and into her cheeks, even to the tips
of her ears, she was silent, and then, as
both her hands went to her face, she
| almost whispered: ooh, no, no; I can
not! can never leave father and
mother alone here! 1t would break
my hearth
"But you do care little for me, don't
you, Telly?" he begged, trying to draw
her hands away from her blushing
face. Gust little, Telly; only say a
little, to give me hope"
And then, as one Of the hands be
was trying to gain was yielded and as
he softly strol1ed and then raised it 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"
It 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
Il thank you for so much, Telly," be
answered tenderly, land God bless you
for it. do not give you up and shall
not if I have to wait all my life for
you. I can be patient if 1 only have
hope.'' He brushed his face with one
hand and, still holding hers, arose and
Grew 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
$50 we can see the ocean better. l
will tell you the story promised last
evening"" He still held her a halt
