matters not am certain you Will
keep your word. I recently worked for
Mr.. Frye six months and left him to
open an Office for myself. In that six
months I became satisfied Nicholas
Frye was the most unprincipled villain
ever masked under the name Of lawyer.
II a.! those you have had business with
were like him, I don't wonder at your
remark today"
Uncle Terry leaned forward, with ell
bows on his. knees. resting his face in
the palms Of his hands, and CALCULATED:
II knew it! T knew it! I'm q blamed
old fool an ought to hev keeper put
over mew Then turning to Albert he
added, 'I've paid that thief over S4OO
this year an hain't got scrap Of paper
to show fer 4, an nothin's been done
so fer as I kin see bout the business" ;"
He meditated a few moments and then
turning around suddenly added: "My
wife an Telly dol't know nothin' bout
this, an l don't want they should.
Thars a sucker born every mint an
two to ketch him. an b'lieye it! I've
been ketched an skinned fer dead sure.
I want to sleep ont, an mebbe in the
mornin' III tell ye the hull story an
how I've been made fool Of. I'm be-
ginnin' to think I kin trust ye."
II thank you for your good opinion"
answered Albert, "and if T can help
you in any way will"
When the two returned to the house,
Albert was shown to room that re-
minded him Of his boyhood home, the
old fashioned bed, spotless counter
pane and muslin curtains oil seemed
so sweet and wholesome. 4 faint odor
Of lavender carried him back to the
time when his mothers bed linen e1-
hailed the same sweet fragrance. he
lighted cigar and sat down by win
dow where the crisp salt sea air came
in. and tried to fathom what manner Of
business Uncle Terry could have with
Frye. And into this meditation also
crept the face and form Of the girl he
had first seen watching the sunset.

come ashore and not only thank you
for all your kindness, but make you a
visit"
When Uncle Terry had gone Albert
related his experiences for the past
eighteen hours to the party-that Is,
all but one incident, or rather surprise.
Then nothing would do but they must
all 80 ashore and look the quaint little
village over.
Il wish you would keep away from
the lighthouse, boys" Albert said, as
they were getting into their boat Mr..
Terry's family are rather sensitive peo-
pie and may not like to have q lot Of
us trooping around their place. am
going over there this afternoon to
make a sketch, and then I'll ask per
mission and We'll all 80 there some
other day.
He had whispered to Frank to re-
main on the yacht, and when the rest
were gone he said to him: Prank, l
am going to conhde something to you.
The fact is, Frank, I've tumbled into
an adventure and fallen in love With q
girl on sight and without having ex-
changed ten words with her! She Is
Mr.. Terry's daughter, and has eyes that
take your breath away and form like
the Venus Of Milo. She paints pictures
that are q wonder, considering she
never has taken a lesson, and has a
face more bewitching than any wom-
ans ever saw. It is like painters
dream"
"Well, you have gone daft, old man"
replied the astonished Frank.
"But you haven't heard it all yet
This unique old man, who saved me
from sleeping all night il thicket Of
briers and who has opened his heart
and home to me, has fallen into the
clutches of-Nicholas Fryer
"Great Scottw exclaimed Frank.
"And how on earth did he ever find
Frye, or Frye find him: Was your old
man Of the island hunting around Bos-
ton for some one to rob him!
That I do not know yet" replied
Albert. "All I know is that Mr.. Terry
has paid Frye about S400, and, as he
says, so far has nothing to show for it.
What the business was expect to
learn later Now, what I am coming
at is this: Can't you manage to leave
me here for the rest Of the day, or, bet
ter still, make it two days? I'll tell
the boys I've tumbled into a bit OF
law business, which is what think
will come out of it, and you can run
down to Bar Harbor and back here to-
morrow night"
"Well, I'll do that gladly" replied
Frank, and then he added with droll
smile, '.It will give you q chance to
say few sweet things to this girl with
the wondrous eyes, eh, Bert"

Chinese Porcelain.

Cinnamon have been exporting their
porcelain to the west for at least q
thousand years and probably longer.
Medieval Europe could make nothing
like porcelain and therefore regarded
it as a magical product endowed with
uncanny powers. It was said, for in:
stance, that porcelain cup would
break if poison were poured into it.
Travellers declared that porcelain was
composed Of various substances, which,
after being tempered, We're hidden Ia
the ground for ages before being fit for
use. Even so erudite man as Sir
Thomas Browne, writing in the later
seventeenth century, was mot thor
oughly resolved, concerning porcellane
or china dishes, that according to COM
mon belief they are made Of earth" :"
The secret Of the true Chinese porce-
lain was first discovered in Europe q
generation later by the German chem
ist Bottger, the inventor Of what IS
now known as Dresden china.

won't ye stop to dinner with u.s.:
asked Aunt Lissy as Albert thanked
her for her hospitality. We'll be glad
to have ye."
Il will, thank you," replied Albert.
This point, and in fact this village,
was such a surprise to me and is so
charming T am going to devote all my
day to it." Then, bidding the ladies
good morning, he followed Uncle Terry
over to the cove. where they boarded
his dory and started out to find the
Gypsy.
And she has the soul Of an artist
in her." Albert said to himself, as
Uncle Terry pulled the dory out Of the
harbor and up the coast toward where
he had been left stranded "And what

AS good luck would have 1t, when
they rounded a point, there was the
Gypsy following the island shore down

waved his cap. He was answered by
the whistle and in an instant every one
on board Of her, even the crew, were
out on her bows and waving caps
Justify. The skipper kept the whistle
blowing, and as the yacht slowed
down and Uncle Terry pulled along
side, Albert was seized and almost
dragged on board. Frank was so over
joyed he hugged him and then gave
vent to war whoop that might have
been heard the entire length Of South
port island.
I'VE guessed what had happened to
you,' he said, when we picked up
your boat. 1t was almost dark when
one Of the crew saw an empty boat
floating up the bay. We were all down
in the cabin at that time and had not
noticed how late it was, when he
called US. Two Of the crew lowered
the other boat and when they got
back with yours we nearly had 1T.
The missing cushions and loop on the
painter gave US clew and we half e2-
pected you would ind your way back
to the Gypsy by land"
II guess you're not much acquainted
with the interior Of Southport island"
put in Albert, and then going forward
he brought back Uncle Terry and in
roduced him to the crowd. By this
time the Gypsy was almost down to
the Cape and, under one bell and the
direction Of Uncle Terry, she slowly
steamed ID. That worthy man had
been looking over her and his admira-
ton was evident.
"a purity slick craft, boys" he said
to the party as the Gypsy's anchor
ceased rafting out Of the hawsehole-
"a purity slick craft, an must "a cost
heap O. money"
Then as he pulled his own weather
beaten dory that had been towing
astern along to the gangway, Albert
stepped up to him and said in a low
voice:
"Will you excuse me little while,
Mr.. Terry? I want to change my
clothes and in an hour or so will

Men In pett1coats.

One Of the medical papers has been
discussing the Connemara custom Of
dressing grown up boys In petticoats
and does not seem to be aware that it
is merely survival Of what was once
the general practice In Ireland. Half
4 century ago young men Of nineteen
might be seen-and were seen-within
thirty miles Of Dublin courting in pet
ticoats in the country lanes. These
were worn with high waists and long
skirts reaching almost to the ankles,
and q Holland overall resembling an
English countryman's smock completed
the costume, but there was no difficulty
In distinguishing the sexes by their
dress. The mans waist was right un-
der his armpits, while the woman's
was in the usual place. When they
walked out together they resembled a
