c: Then he cut the slip out and hid it in
his black leather wallet, and then cut
out the entire page and burned it.
"Wimmin are SIGH curis creeters
they'd be sure to want to know what
I'd cut QUITO that page" he. said to
himself, "an'' never rest till told 'em."
When Aunt Lissy and Telly came
home Uncle Terry. was as composed
dis rock and sat quietly putting his
pipe, with his feet on top Of chair
and pointing toward the fire.
,"Were, you lonesome, father" asked
Telly, who usually led conversation in
the Terry home 1--WE stopped at Bas-
CONS, and you know he never stops
talking"
Hes worse'n burdock burs ter git
away FROM" answered Uncle Terry,
"an' ye can't be perlite ter him unless
ye want t. spend the rest O. yer life
listenin'. His tongue allus seemed ter
be hung in the middle an wag both
ways. l wasn't lonesome" he contin-
ued, rising and adding few sticks
to the fire as the two women laid aside
their wraps and drew chairs up. 1--WE
read the paper purity we'll through an
had spell O. livin' over bygones," and
then, turning to Telly and smiling, he
added: II got thinkin' O. the day ye
came ashore, an mother she got that
excited she sot the box ye was in on
the stove an then put more wood in.
It's wonder she didn't put ye in the
stove instead O. the wood!'
AS this joke was not new to the lis
teners no notice was taken of it. and
the three ;spsed into silence.
Outside the steady boom Of the surf
beating on the rocks came with monot-
onous regularity, and inside the clock
licked. For long time Uncle Terry
sat and smoked on in silence, resum-
ing, perhaps, his bygones, and then
said: 'By the way, Telly, what's be-
come O. them trinkets O. yourn ye had
on that day? It's been so long now,
most twenty years, l bout forgot 'em.
l s'pose ye hain't lost 'em, hev ye?"
"Why, no, father" she answered, a
little surprised. II hope not. They
are all in a box in my bureau, and no
one ever disturbs them"
"Ye wouldn't mind fetchin' 'em now,
would We, Telly?" he continued after

be to her took them out one by one,
she realized more than ever what a
debt of gratitude she owed to him.
When he had looked them over and
put them back in the exact order in
which they had been packed, he closed
the box and, taking. the little hand thar
had been ~caresang his face in his own
wrinkled and sbony one, held it for a
moment. When he released it the girl
stopped and, pressing her lips to his
weather Drowned cheek. arose and re-
sumed her seat. ..'
"Waal, ye better put the box away
now," said Uncle Terry at last. "I'll
jest go out an take look off'n the
pint, and then it'll be time to turn in

an 40 she's sourn. From q paper We
found pinned tosher clothes We learned
her name was Etelka Peterson. an
that her mother, an we supposed her
father, went down that day right in
sight o. us. Thar was a locket round
the child's neck an a couple O. rings in
the box, an we have kept 'em am the
papers an all her baby clothes ever
since. That's the hull story.''
"How did this child live to get
ashore?' asked Frye, keenly interest
ed.
"That's the curis part" replied Uncle
Terry. ''She was put in box an
tied tween two feather beds an cum
ashore dry as duck.'
Frye stroked his nose ref1ectivelv
stopping over as he did and watching
his visitor with hawk-like eyes.
"A very we'll told tale, Mr.. Terry"
ne said at last. "a very we'll told tale
indeed! OF course you have retained
all the articles you say were found on
the child?'
Yes, we've kept 'em all, you may
be sure,' replied Uncle Terry.
And why did you never make any
Official report of this wreck and of the
tacts you state?" asked Frye.
Il did at the time," answered Uncle
Terry, but nothin' cum ont. I guess
my report is thar in Washington now,
If it amt lost.'
>"And do l understand YOU wish to
retain me as your counsel in this mat
ter and lay claim to this estate, Mr..
Terry?" continued Frye.
"Waal, I've told ye the facts" re-
Piled Uncle Terry, "an' if the gals got
money comm I'd like to zee her git
it. What's goin' to be the cost O. doin'
the business?"
'"Ihe matter of expense is hard to
state in such case as this" answered
Frye cautiously. ''The estate is large
one. There may be, and no doubt will
be, other claimants. Litigation may
follow, and so the cost is an uncertain
one. l shall be glad to act for you III
this matter and will do so if you re-
tain me'
1t is said that those who hesitate are
lost, and at this critical moment Uncle
Terry hesitated.
He did not like the looks of Frye.
He suspected him to be what he was
a shrewd, smooth, plausible villain.
Had he obeyed his first impulse he
would have picked up his hat and left
Frye to wash his hands with invisible
| soap, and laid his case before some
other lawyer, but he hesitated. Frye,
he knew, had the matter in his hands
and might make the claim that his
story was false and fight it with all
the legal weapons Uncle Terry so much
dreaded. In the end he decided to put
the matter in Frye's hands and hope
for the best.
II shall want you to send me de-
| tailed story of this wreck, sworn to
by yourself and wife, said Frye; "also
the articles found on this child, and
will lay your afhdavits before the at
torneys for this estate and report
progress to you later on"
When Uncle Terry turned his face
toward home his pocket was lighter
by $780,
II s'posed Id git skinned" he NUT
tered to himself after he was we'll on
his way home, "an' l reckon / have!
A lawyer knows farmer at sight, an
when he ketches one he takes his hay!
He's taken mine fur sartin, an begin
to think I'm consarned old fool, that

The girl arose and, going upstairs, re-
turned with small tin box shaped like
a trunk and, drawing the table up in
front of Uncle Terry, set the box down
upon it. As he opened it she perched
herself on the arm of his chair and,
leaning against his shoulder, passed one
arm caressingly around his neck and
watched him take out the contents.
First came soft, fleecy blanket, then
two little garments, once whitest mus
lin, but now yellow with age, and then
another smaller one Of flannel. Pinned
to this were two tiny shoes of knitted
wool. In the bottom Of the box was a

Ing on the paper, once hastily scrawled
by despairing mothers hand, had al

two faces, one L mans with strongly
marked features, the other girlish with
big eyes and hair in curls.
These were all the heritage Of this
waif Of the sea who now, a fair girl
with eyes and face like the woman's
picture, was leaning on the shoulder
of her foster father, and they told
pathetic tale of life and death; of ro-
nance and mystery not yet unwoven.
How many times that orphan girl
had imagined what that tale might be;
how often before she had examined
every one of those mute tokens; how
many times gazed with mute eyes at
the faces in the locket; and how, as
the years bearing her onward toward
maturity passed, had she hoped and
