" morning the sun was just ap-
E~TY5S pearing round and red out of
tgZs4J the ocean and crisp breeze
blowing into the open windows. Heheard
the stir of some one below and, dress
ing quickly, descended to the sitting
room. No one was there, and he stood
for moment looking at the curiously
framed paintings that almost covered
the wall
One in particular caught his eye II
was ship oareened on the ocean with
waves breaking upon her. She was
resting on rocks that barely showed
beneath, and in her rigging, heavily
covered with ice, were five men. All
waves, curling and breaking about the
stranded vessel. He noted the lifelike
shading of the green and white bill
lows, the ice that covered every shroud
and rope and spar, and peering out Of
a cabin door was a woman holding a
babe in her arms. In a way it was
CHASTITY picture and one that held his
attention from all the rest.
1t was framed in a broad, fat mold
ing covered with shells. He was still
gazing at it when he heard Uncle Ter
RVS voice bidding him good morning.
"Ain't We up little arly?" said that
worthy. Il hope We slep' well. l gin
orally roust out by daylight an put out
the light an then start a fire, but thar
was no need OF you gittin' out so soon
81 think the waves woke me-" replied
Albert, 'and the morning is so beau
tiful 1 couldn't waste it in bed"
I'm goin' over to the cove to mend a
trap" continued Uncle Terry, "an' if

We up to Seal cove an see if yer boats

| He seemed depressed and not inclined
| to talk, and Albert sat on an overturn-
ed dory and watched him puttering
away over a lobster trap. His hat had
fallen off, and the sea winds blew his
scant fringe of gray hair over his bald
head. His brown shirt was open at
the throat, disclosing bony neck, and
his well worn garments showed the out
lines of a somewhat wasted form.
What impressed Albert more than all
this was the detected manner Of Uncle
| Terry. When he finished fixing the
trap he pulled dory in that was moor
ed out In the cove and carefully bailed
and wiped it clean. When this was
done he said almost wistfully: "Tve
worried a good deal bout what We
told me last night, an I'd like to have
a good talk with We. s'pose ye're anx-
ious to see yer friends an let 'em
know ye're all safe, an I'll take We up
the island the fust thing an then &c
an pull my traps, an then if ye're will
in We'll sot down, if it amt askin' toe
much O. We TO wait" he added almost
pathetically. ''Tll get Telly to show
sc her picturs, an mebbe We can give
her some p'ints as III help her."
Il shall be more than glad to do so,
replied Albert, 'but if that shipwrecl
scene is hers, she needs no advice from
me-"
Uncle Terry looked pleased, but made
no answer. On the way back to the
house he said, I'D ruther ye'd make
no mention to the wimmin of our hev
in any talk"

Il am goin' to beg yer pardon, Mr..
Page" he said at last, "fer speakin'
the way / did regardin' lawyers in gin
eral. My 'sperence with 'em has been
bad, an materially l don't trust 'em
much. I've had some dealin's with
this ere Frye bout matter l don't

ye're willin' to help me l shall be most
tarnally grateful an will give We my
word I'll never let on to anybody what
We say-an' Silas Terry never yit broke
his promise"
Albert silently offered his hand to
Uncle Terry, who grasped it cordially.
Il will tell you, Mr.. Terry he said
after the handshake, "alI know about
Mr.. Frye and what my opinion Is or
him. What your business with him is,
matters not. l am certain you VIII

Mr.. Frye six months and left him to
open an Office for myself. In that six

Frye was the most unprincipled villain
ever masked under the name of lawyer.
If all those you have had business with
were like him, 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:
81 knew it! 1 knew it! I'm a blamed
old fool an ought to hev a keeper put
over mev Then turning to Albert he
added, GIVE paid that thief over S4OO
this year an hain't got a scrap of paper
to show fer t, an nothin's been done
so fer as l kin see bout the business. b"
He meditated a few moments and then
turning around suddenly added: MY
wife an Telly don't know nothin' bout
! this, an l don't want they should.
! Thar's a sucker born every mint an
two to ketch him, an b'lieve it! I've
been ketched an skinned fer dead sure.
l want to sleep ont, an mebbe in the
mornin' I'll tell We the hull story an
how I've been made a fool of. I'm be-
ginnin' to think 1 kin trust ye.'
81 thank you for your good opinion,
answered Albert, ''and if 1 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 all seemed
so sweet and wholesome. A faint odol
of lavender carried him back to the
time when his mothers bed linen ex
hailed the same sweet fragrance. HI
lighted a cigar and sat down by win
