almost affection began to mingle with
and augment his wonder. Hence the
patience with which, with Kerry on the
beam, he listened while the colonel
sang his siren song.
He will be one of the people called
Quakers,' the skipper thought, after a
while. I've heard of them, but never
seen one"
Unfortunately, as he arrived at his
conclusion. a cry from the steersman
reused him. He sprang to his feet.
Alas! the sloop had run too far on the
%northerly tack. and simultaneously the
wind had shifted a point to the south
ward. She had beer allowed to run
into a blight of the north shore and a
line of foam cut her off to the eastward,
leaving small room to tack. She might
still clear the westerly rocks and run
out TO sea, but the skipper saw that this
was doubtful, and with a seaman's
quickness he made up his mind.
Keep her on!-keep her on!" he
roared. Child of the accursedi We
must run into Skull haven! And If the
men OF Skull take so much as an iron
bolt from us, and I misdoubt them,
I'll keel haul you! I'll not leave an inch
of skin upon you!"
The man, covering over the wheel,
obeyed n the little vessel ran up the
narrowing water-on an even keel. The
crew We're already on their feet, they
had loosened the sheet, and squared the
boom; they stood by to lower the yard.
All-the skipper with a grim face
stood looking forward, as the inlet mar
rowed, the green banks closed in, the
rocks that fringed them approached.
Silently and gracefully the sloop glided
on, until a turn In the passage opened
a small landlocked haven. At the head
of the haven, barely a hundred yards
above high water mark, stood a ruined
tower-the Tower of Skull-and below
this a long house Of stone with a
matched roof.
1t was clear that the sloop's move
ments a been watched from the
shore, for although the melancholy
waste OF moor and mountain disclosed
no other h~abitation, a score Of half
naked, barefoot figures were gathered
on the jetty, while others could be seen
hurrying down the hillside. These cried
one another In an unknown tongue,
with shrill voices. which Wed with the

Quaker Meditations.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Some men get up in the world, and 9TH
ers are merely stilted.
The corset manufacturer makes his
money as a matter OF form.
It's the better half that generally sees
the worst side of a man.
All things are more apt to come to those
who don't wait for them.
Opportunity seldom calls when we are
all dressed and waiting for 1t.
Even when he minds his p's and as an
Englishman is apt to drop his his.
A man doesn't put his best foot forward
when he goes to the c~hiropodist.
The office that seeks the man Is gener-
ally the one that isn't worth having.
Many a man has made his mark in the
world by making a mark of some other
fellow.
It's when we don't need their help that
people are most anxious to come to our
assistance.

gustin cried. cycling them gloomily. 1--WE
are too far In now! Let go!-let go!"
But the order and the ensuing action
at once redoubled and the clamor on
shore. A dozen of the foremost natives
flung themselves into crazy boats, with
consummate skill and daring. When
they were within hail. a man wearing a
long frieze coat and a flsherman's red
cap stood up In the bow OF the near
est.
You will be coming to the jetty. cap
tain?" he cried in imperfect English.
The skipper scowled at him, but did
not answer.
you will come to the jetty, captain"
the man repeated In a high, sing-song
voice. Sure, and you've come onven
lent. for there's no one here barring
yourselves"
And you're wanting brandy" Au-
gustln muttered bitterly under his
breath. He glanced at his men as IL he
meditated resistance.
Kerry law! Kerry law!" the man
cried. you know II well. CT plain. It's
not I'll be answerable II you don't come
to the jetty."
The skipper. who had Jared i'll at
Skull once before, knew that he was
In the mems power. True. a single dis
charge of his ~carronades would blow
the boats to pieces, but he could not In
a moment warp his ship out through
the narrow passage. And IL he could,
he knew that the act would be bloodily
avenged IL he eve landed again In
that part OF Ireland. He swore under
his breath and the steersman. who had
wrought the harm ~ holding on too
long, wilted under his aye.
AT length he yielded, sulkily gave the
order. the windlass was manned. and
the kedge drawn UP. Tenders were
lowered and the sloop slid gently to the
jetty side.
In a twinkiing a score OF natives
swarmed aboard. The man In the
frieze coat followed more leisurely, AID
with such dignity as became the owner
OF q stone walled house. He sauntered
up to the skipper. a leer In his eye.

From August Putnam's.
My love besought me at the droop of day,
When twilight showed its fading fields
of fawn-
"Where is that isle of old called Avalon,
The blessed isle where summer dwells al
way,
And happiness makes it's eternal stay?
Has II, by some strange magic, been
withdrawn
Beyond the portals of the dusk and
dawn,
Hid from oar mortal ken perchancc for
eyer
Gazing within my loves upturned eyes
AS violet-deep as is the evening star.
And fairer far for me to look upon,
Unhesitant i answered in this wise

are
There evermore to me is Avalon"
