Well; rescued and rescuers shook hands and
went up to Captain Watsons house for
warmth and rest.
Old Gold Watson was still doing by the
fire and hardly noticed their entrance.
Where's Sunbeam asked his son, and
then Mr. Richards told him what she had
done.
MY brave little darling!" he cried.
And, without waiting to rest, he set off to
fetch her home.
Mr.; Richards offered to accompany him,

When Captain Watson reached the house
and softly opened the door, Sunbeam was
stll sleeping.
He knelt beside her to kiss her poor. pale
little face; to battle it with tears; to pray
to be made worthy of his daughter
She opened her eyes.

My little Sunbeam! my child, my child"
he answered.
Heart to heart, their arms around each

mingled smiles and tears, they came closer
to each other than they ever had before, and
the sacred memory of that night was to be
cherished for all their lives
When little Sunbeam came home borne
proudly in her fathers arms she was still
wrapped in the blanket. but her face was
beaming and her eyes sparkling with happi-
ness.
How those rough sailors blessed her. and

! She would never acknowledge she had done
aught but her duty. but the story spread up
and down the coast, and the Spanish Bar be-

other reasons than its reputed hidden riches.
To the Watsons it had brought more than
wealth, for the spongers will tell you that on
the little bay, opposite its frowning sands,

stroy the schooner for they swept clear over
the bulwarks, while every now and then
mighty sea, crashing with tremendous force
upon the shivering deck, threatened to start
the straining timbers.
Captain Watson had turned his face away
from the little house on the bay, he never
expected to enter again. He could imagine
his old father sitting by the fire, while the
storm ragged without, muttering his senseiess
words about the gold he had ruined MIN
And then his little girl-poor little Bessie

When he looked up again he saw boat

No; it was too good to be true. 1t could
only be another storm-driven craft like his
own, and as likely TO go to wreck on the
fatal bar.
But when he looked again he noticed how
well she answered to the helm, finging the
seas in spray high off her bows as she rose
and fell on the waves. She came nearer,
and he recognized the Richards sharpe Sea

She continued to approach, her light
draught enabling her to float over the bar,
where the bigger vessel was pounding out
her ribs.
There came hoarse call:
"Stand by for rope!"
minute later she ran alongside, and the
rescued crew tumbled on her deck. Not a
word was spoken. 1t was dangerous, anxious
being smashed against the wreck; but it was
done, and she got safely away.

"Wel whose fault was it?" she asked,
mildly.
"Nobody's,' he replied, violently. Its
Just my luck! I'm always having bad luck:
don't suppose I'll ever have anything else. "
Mrs Barston sighed again. She was a
widow, and Wilfred was her only child, and
it was all she could do to keep the wolf from
the door
Wilfred was fifteen years old, and might
have been great help to his mother if it had
not been for his bad luck, as he called it.

only about three months out of twelve. On
this occasion he was particularly provoked
