have rendered their thirst Uncomfortable
had not Blake hacked off for them bit
after bit of the moist coryphene flesh.
In a temperate climate ten miles
over firm ground is pleasant walk
for one accustomed to the exercise
Quite different matter is ten miles
across mud-fats, covered with a tan
gle of reeds and rushes, and frequently
dipping into salt marsh and ooze. Be
fore they had gone mile Miss Leslie
would have lost her slippers had it
not been for Blake's forethought in
tying them so securely. Within a lit
tie more than three miles the girls
strength began to fail.
"Oh, Blake" called Winthrope, for

WINTHROP did not reply. 1t was all
he could do to drag the girl up on the
hummock. She sank. halffainting
upon the dry reeds, and he sat down
beside her to protect her with the
shade. Blake stared at the miles
of swampy flats which yet lay between
them and the out-jutting headland of
gray rock. The base of the cliff was
screened by belt of trees; but the
nearest clump of green did not look
more than a mile nearer than the
headland.

Though he spoke to himself the

and would have risen had not Win

he asked. "By that time she will be

NOT A MATTER OF LOYALTY.
Simple But Insuperabls Reason Why
subject Could Not kneei
Before He King.

One fancies that few types of men.
can, from time to time. have afforded
royalty more amusement of a quiet
sort than provincial mayors of Eng.
land. From the Foreland to PEN
zance," by Give Holland, contains the
story Of a mayor Of Weymouth who.
during one of the visits of King
George to the town. was destined to
afford comic relief" to a ceremony Of
some Importance.
The occasion was the presentation
of an address of welcome to the king,
and we are told that the mayor. on ap-
preaching to present 1t. to the aston
ishment and dismay of all, instead OF
kneeling, as he had been told to do,
seized the queens hand to shake 1t
as he might that of any other lady.
Col. Gwynne, the master of the cere-
monies, hurriedly told him of the
faux pas, saying: you should have
kneeled, sir"
'Sir, cannot" was the reply.
Everybody does, sir" holly asserted
the colonel.
The mayor grew red, and evidently
much upset, exclaimed: "Confound Il.
sir, but I've got a wooden leg!"
History records that "a smile suf-
fused the face of her majesty, and the
king laughed outright. Com

the curse, for when he again spoke
there was nothing more than impa-
thence in his tone. Come on, now;
get aboard. WINTHROP couldn't lug
you a half-mile, and longs it's the
only way don't be all day about it.
Here, Winthrope. look to the fish,"
But, my dear fellow, l don't quite
take your idea, nor does Miss Leslie,
fancy" ventured Winthrope.
We'll, we've got to get to water or
die; and as the lady can't walk she's
going on my back. It's a case of
have-to."
mo! l am mott am not! I'd sooner
die!"
I'm afraid you'll find that easy
enough later on, Miss Jenny. Stand
by, Winthrope, to help her up. Do
you hear? Take the knife and fish and
lend hand"
There was a note in Blake's voice
that neither Winthrope nor Miss Les
lie dared disregard. Though scarlet
with modification, she permitted her
self to be taken pick-a-back upon
Blakes broad shoulders and meekly
obeyed his command to clasp her
hands about his throat. Yet even at
that moment, such are the inconsis.
tencies of human nature, she could not
but admire the ease with which he
rose under her weight.
Now that he no longer had the slow
pace of the girl to consider, he ad-
vanced at his natural gait, the quick,
tireless stride of an American railroad
surveyor. His feet, trained to swamp
travel in Louisiana and Panama,
seemed to find the firmest ground as
by instinct, and whether on the half
dried mud of the hummocks or in the
ankle-deep water of the boys, they felt
their way without slip or stumble.
WINTHROP, though burdened only
with the half-eaten coryphene, toiled
along behind, greatly troubled by the
mud and the tangled reeds, and now
and then flung down by some unlucky
mlsstep. His modish suit, already
much damaged by the salt water, was
soon smeared afresh with a coating of
greenish slime. His one consolation
was that Blake, after jeering at his first
tumble, paid no more attention to
him. On the other hand, he was cut
by the seeming Indifference of Miss
Leslie. Intent on his own misery, he
failed to consider that the girl might
be suffering far greater discomfort and
humiliation.
More than three miles had been COW
cred before Blake stopped on a hum
mock. Releasing Miss Leslie, he
stretched out on the dry crest of the
knoll and called for slice of the fish.
At his urging the others took a few
mouthfuls. although their threats were
so parched that even the moist flesh
afforded scant relief. Fortunately for
them all, Blake had been thoroughly
trained 20 endure thirst. He rested
less than ten minutes; then taking
Miss Leslie up again like a rag doll,
he swung away at good pace.
The. trees were less than half a
mile distant when he halted for the
second time. He would have gone to
them without pause, though his mus
cles were quivering with exhaustion,
had not Miss Leslie CHANGED TO look
around and discover that WINTHROP
was no longer following them. For
