In temperate climate ten miles

Quite a different matter is ten miles
across mud-hats. covered with a tan

dipping into salt marsh and ooze. Be

Leslie is about pegged.''
What's that?" demanded Blake.
We're not halfway yeti"
Winthrope did not reply 1t was all
he could do to drag the girl up on the
hummock. She sank, half-fainting,
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 mile nearer than the

One on the JudQes.

A newly qualified Judge In one OF
the small towns of Tennessee was
trying one of his first criminal cases.
The accused was an old darky who
was accused of robbing a hen-coOp.
He had been in court before on SIM
liar charge and was then acquitted.
well, Tom," began the Judge, Il
see you're in trouble again.
"Yes, sah," replied the darky; the
last time, jedge, you was ma lawyer.
Where is your lawyer this timer
asked the judge.
Il amt got no lawyer this time, y
answered Tom I'm going to tell the
truth.

There was 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
Blake's 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.

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.
Winthrope, 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 coating of
sreenish 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.

Miss Leslie up again like a rag doll
