WHICH ONE WAS KEPT.

CGere were two little kittens, a black and
a gray,
And grandmamma said with frown-
Tt will never do to keep them both,
The black one we'd better drown.
Don't cry, my dear" to tiny Bess,
"One kittens enough to keep;
Now run to nurse. for It's growing late,
And time you were fast asleep"
The morrow dawned, and rosy and sweet
Came little Bess from her nap:
The nurse said, Go into mammals room
And look in grandma's lap"
Come here" said grandmamma, with a
smile,
From the rocking chair where she sat /;
God has sent you two little sisters,
Now, what do you think of that?"
Bess looked at the babies a moment,
With their wee heads, yellow and
brown,
And then to grandmamma soberly said,
(Which one are you gGng to drown?'

moved along the path toward her

Job also timidly edged away, but in
the opposite direction.
Sim laughed, as he looked after him.

whenever yer ready to lick me, I'll be

So saying, he followed Lorena up the
winding mountain path, while Job,
trembling still, rapidly fastened along
the downward way.

ly upon him.

laugh.

such womanly accomplishments as she
herself possessed u knowledge Of. The
girl had also cleaned some knowledge,
useful and otherwise, from the books
she had read; for she loved to smile
and weep over the joys and sorrows Of
true lovers.
As she stood there IN the rosy light
Of the setting sun, she likened herself
to some fair lady of the olden time 4;
and Sim and Job seemed as the two
gallant knights who would prove their
right to win her by test Of their
courage and strength.
But these high, sweet thoughts were
rudely dispe1led by the coming Of Job
Allen. Big and strong he certainly
looked; but his bearing was not that
of knight and hero. Pallid and trem-

to read the funeral service over the
body Of a friend who had died while
on a visit to the farm which he had
left many years ago as small boy.
It was a wild region. Within miles
of the abandoned farm there was no
church. and only one small red

1t was primitive community and
the people came to the funeral over
roads unmended and leading through
woods which had grown up in what
were once cultivated fields. All the

drawn away into the cities. The peo-

Press.
In his hurry to catch the train
which should take him to the nearest
railroad station the clergyman caught
up his hymnal instead OF the prayer

the funeral service found that hs

CHAPTER XIV.

The Pretty Mary-as ugly and evil
smelling a tub as ever pitched under a
southerly burster-had been lying on
and off Cape Surville for nearly three
weeks. Captain Blunt was getting
wearied. He made strenuous efforts to
find the oyster beds of which he was os-
tensibly in search, but no success attend
ed his efforts. In vailn did he take boat,
and pull into every cove and nook be-
tween the Hoppolyte Reef and Scouten
Island. In vain did he run Pretty Mary
as near to the rugged cliffs as he dared
to take her, and make perpetual expedi-
lions to the shore. In vain did he-in
his eagerness for the interests of Mrs.
Purfoy-clamber up the rocks, and
spend hours in solitary soundngs in
Blackman's Bay. He never found an
oyster. ''If l don't find something in
three or four days MORE" said he to his
mate, 81 shall go back again. It's too
dangerous cruising here"
On the same evening that Captain
Blunt made this resolution, the watch
man at Signal Hill saw the arms of the
semaphore at the settlement make three
motions thus:

But Harry did not reply, and. looking
