CHAPTER l.

If1AI LEX L.
You know Alastair? No-how should
you? Very few people know it, and
have done my best TO keep the secret to
myself. The place lies however, not so
very far from great cities on the Allan
tic coast. You take a train northward
from Boston, and when you reach the
proper station you alight and climb into
countryman's wagon, and he drives you
through the pines by a twisting, sand
built road to Alastair. You will know it
because you can go no farther, unless you
choose to drive into the waves.
Few people come to Alastair. Most
of the travellers in this part of the world
turn off about mile inland from the
beach and go on for another mile and a
half to the Penguin Club. The latter is
full of New Yorkers who come to the
pines and the sea to hunt and fish and
forget Wall Street and Fifth Avenue.
They forget it by keeping close together,
and dressing for dinner, and dancing
every other night.
Alastair itself is only beach between
two great headlands. From the end
where my cottage stands, snugly hid in
the pines on the edge of the dunes, the
beach stretches smooth and white to a
little land-locked harbor at the farther
end. Sit on my porch and look down
along the sands to the east and you
will see a reef Of rocks shaped like the
letter u that closes in little salt water
lake with the aid of a distant cliff. 1t
Is not quite lake, rather small in
land sea, for the tides have room to ebb
and flow. A ship is settled into the
sands of this sea. settled upright, so
that one may walk the decks, and
tide is low and climb on board. 1t Is a
good place to sketch, and l can leave
my paints and canvas in the cabin.
/ stumbled across Alastair when l was
looking for a quiet place in which to
write. | found the dilapidated cottage,
camped in it for week. and fell so much
in love with the beach that / went to
town. bought the house and part of the
woods, and moved in. Charles, the man
who had served my father before me, de-
INJURED at first, but finally gave in. and
turned himself into cook. housemaid, and
valet for my sake.
From my balcony l can see the distant
rocks of the little inland sea and, stand
ing up above them, the high sides of the
ship, and its single remaining broken
mast pointing straight to the heavens.
Sometimes the stars seem to outline
where the missing spars and sails should
be, and on bright night l can half close
my eyes and fancy that see the rigging
lighted and lanterns burning on the quar-
ter-deck.
There is history hidden in that bat
tered hulk She is no ordinary vessel,
and may once, for all / know, have been
a pirate craft. She has the long clipper
lines of swiftness, and her high, bulging
bow is of a type long past. When

Measuring One Cup.

Young housekeepers are often at a
loss when recipe calls for cup of
anything to tell what kind of cup
to use or how much cup measures.
The accepted measure Is a stone
kitchen cup and means that cup filled
to the brim. 1t is equal to one-half
pint.
A cup of solid buttermilk, chopped
meat or granulated sugar is equal to
about half pound. A cup of sifted
flour is equal to a quarter of a pound.

CHAPTER III.


1t was the most beautiful August that
l remembered. The air was clear as a
bell and day after day the sun rose on
tranquil world and smiled at it for
joy. Every morning at breakfast 1 would
say to Charles, did you ever know
such weather, Charles?" and he would
answer, "No, sir, l never did, sir" and
every evening at supper l would say, ut
has been glorious day, Charles, hasn't
it?" and he would answer, 1T has, sir.
indeed it has, SIR" My family servant
made a perfect echo.
The afternoon on which 1 finished the
first half of my book l sat for some time
on the porch outside my den, smoking. |
was too serene to stir. / watched the
gulls circle and skim above the pine
crowned cliff, and the lazy waves, rising
occasionally into sparkling white caps
lift their heads and duck again like play
full dolphins. The tide was coming in !:
| could mark the great wet circles on the
beach as il advanced, now receding for
moment, but quickly recovering the
lost ground and marching on, steadily
winning over the yellow sands. 1t would
be high-tide by sunset or a little after !:
everything was setting in from sea to
land; the salt smell was coming strongly
on the east wind.
About o'clock shut the door Of my
cottage and started down the beach, con-
scious of no further plan than to board
the ship and, possibly, catch something
Of the late afternoon color for my can

short Suggestions.


Strong tea will stop bleeding from
O cut.
Lavender scented sheets are said to
induce slumber.
Try tomato juice instead of milk
for the omelet.
A shampoo made of egg, quinine
and green soap is good.
Appetizing sandwiches are made of
salmon and cream cheese.
A little ammonia in the water will
make window cleaning easy.
If clothespins are heated in the oven
they will not stick when used.
If the nails have a tendency to
break, try rubbing with vaseline every
night.
In washing remember that closely
woven goods require less starch than
others.
Pistache nuts salted in the shell are
a dainty addition to the luncheon or
dinner menu.
To make a cake favored with coffee
use strong coffee In place of milk in
mixing the batter.

SODA MAKERS COMBINE.

After several meetings held on as
many evenings of this week, the soda
water manufacturers of the city last
night completed the organization of
the Oahu Bottlers Association. The
of the organization, as far as
that purpose appears on the surface, is
to secure protection, by combined eff
fort, from bottle thieves. For instance,
after September 1 "A deposit of fifteen
cents a dozen will be required of All
customers for the return of bottles,
and five cents will be collected for
bottles not actually returned. This
would impress one as being a small
affair, but it is pointed out that the
total loss in a year in the matter of
bottles amounts to a considerable sum.
