An Occasion for Rejoicing.

Recently the usual morning exer-

knock at the door. After reading q
note which had been handed in, the
principal announced that one of the
teachers would be unable to be at
school for several days, owing to a
slight illness. Immediately two boys
began to whisper. Upon asking what
the trouble was, the boys said they
were only talking about the selection
of hymn.

was intolerable that the pleasant reIa-

his part to aequiesce in Elsie's right
to bestow her affections where she
listed. He wondered If the girl had
come on deck after supper. Her habit |
was to retire early, as she rose soon

better average than most women are
favored with in a lifetime. Christobal
had entered the chart house with the
fixed intent of warning Boyle that he
was going below for a moment to ask
Miss Maxwell to come on deck when a
hurried step on the bridge companion
caused the imminent words to be with
held.
1t was Courtenay, who had run up
from the salon to procure those fate
fui letters which had so nearly parted
Elsie and himself. He had laughingly
refused to tell her their history. That
would spoil their effect, he said. She
must take them to her stateroom and
read them at her leisure. Then she
would see their true inwardness, and
his feelings would be spared. as he
could not deny that the majority of
them had been written by ladies.
On his way he looked into the wheel
house. There was no light in the in
terror. Boyle, wrapped in a heavy
coat, was seated in the most sheltered
