Would You Believe 1t?

A morning glory on Our wall,
With round and rosy face,
That smiled alike on one and all,
And lighted up the place
One rainy day that flower queer
Shut up its cheerful eye.
1t looked so dull and strange, oh, dear!
1t really made me sigh.
Would you believe flower so gay
Could look SO sad that rainy day?
A little maid within Our walls,
That makes Our life's delight,
Her smile like sunshine on us falls,
When her sweet face is bright
One rainy day that child of ours
Put on a doleful pout
She frowned all day because the
shIpswers
Kept her from playing out.
Would you believe maid SO gay
Could look so sad that rainy day?

grip with the other which nearly
brought him to his knees.
Harold stood with his lips apart IN
astonishment as he gazed at Dick, now
standing beside him, and we'll he might
be surprised.
Dick was about five feet four inches
in height and his enormous breadth
OF shoulders made him look even
shorter. His arms were bare and so
long that they reached to his knees
and were one mass Of muscles and
knotted cords. His deep chest showed
his enormous lung capacity. On his
broad shoulders was poised a large,
round head, adorned with light, curly
hair His legs we're much too short
in proportion to his body and were
slightly bowed He had bright blue
eyes, large nose and mouth, and
white, even teeth. He was dressed in
bright red shirt, loose trousers and
striped sash for belt around his
waist, and his head and feet were bare
He was considered one of the best
sponge divers on the Gulf

TREASURER SEEKERS,
OR THE ISLAND HOME.
By Chas. B. Hu1ett.
CHAPTER ONE.

1t was pleasant day, about October
Ist, 10, that two boys, sitting on one
of the numerous steps leading from
the cement walk down to the bay
which is made by the many springs of
water, and called Tarpon Springs,
from which the thriving city Of Tarpon
The boys were earnestly discussing
their favorite authors and lamentlng
that the day was passed when there
were no more Treasure islands, to
seek, or Capt Kidds or. Blackbeards to
roam the seas.
Earle Cary was tall, well-built boy
of sixteen; with dark eyes and hair and
sunburnt face and hands, ad with the
peculiar drawl characteristic Of boy
raised in the south His companion,
Harold Gaylord, was seven weeks the
older and was slightly taller; with gray
eyes and light brown hair. The boys
greatly resembled each other, as we'll
they might, for they were first cousins;
Earle's father and Earold's mother be
ing brother and sister.
Earle was gret reader and nat
uralist, and nothing was more to his
fancy than to sit under a spreading
magnolia tree and read the works Of
Stevenson, Capt Mayne Read or
Mayrrat's works, and although of a
thoughtful disposition he was full Of
life and his comrade had nicknamed
him Happy"
Harold was "a great Seeker after
knowledge" in other words, he could
ask more questions about anything he
did not understand, than any two boys
was a great student of chemistry-a
profession he intended 20 follow.
Both boys were honest nj generous,
and great readers of adventure and ex-
ploration. Both were also good
sailors, Haro1d's experience having
been on the fresh water of Lake Mich
igan and Earle's on the Gulf Of Mexico
and few short trips on the Atlantic
With these few words of explanation
we will proceed with Our narrative.
81 tell you, Harold, I am glad you
have come to spend the winter. We
will have fine time, camping and
fishing among the keys, and father
says if we will behave ourselves he
will take us trip on the new gasolene
launch the company will finish next
week, and put into commission next
week. although the new boat Uncle
Sam, will not make the regular run
