No one ever knew whether the &C.

ultimately, in the rowboat, or descend

that last hasty exit from the deck Of
the Sea Gull was also his final exit
from life, certain 1t Is that his depar-

Jimmy Hambleton did not let the
shoe business entirely go to destruc-

grew markedly after he brought his
bride home with him to Lynn. One
year, when the babies were growing
up, he ordered a trim little yacht to be
built and put into her berth at
Charlesport. She was named the Sea

The methods of making lowered

binary hatpin, with a round or pear
shaped top. such as is bought for a
penny or two, is utilized. The head
of the pin is first swathed in wadding,
and then covered with colored silk
or satin. on which should be en-
broidered colored beads to represent
the center Of the flower. Pieces Of
ribbon are next taken to form the
petals. Such flowers as peoples,

coming. The result when finished is
eminently satisfactory, and often adds
a pleasing dash of color to the gen.
eral effect. 4

CHAPTER XIV.
After You, Monsieur!

AFTER Touy monsieur!
Jim had no desire to create a sensa-
ton among his friends at the old red
house; but as he left the pine grove
all his Instincts led him to flee in an,
other direction. He did not fully
realize Just what had happened to
him, but he was conscious of having
received a very hard jolt, indeed. The
house, full of happy associations as it
was, was just now too tantalizing a
place. Aleck had won out, and he and
Melanie were radiating that peculiar
kind Of lovers joy which shines on
the eve Of matrimony. Jim wished
&hem well-none better-but he also
wished they wouldn't make such a
fuss over these things. Get 1t done
and out of the way, and the less said
about It the better. In fact, Jim's
ouoyant and sunny spirit went into
eclipse; he lost his holiday ardor, and
&rudged over the hill and into the
shore road in a state Of extreme de-
lection.
But he fingered on the way, divert
ed almost against his will by the sight
Of fishing smacks putting into harbor,
an island steamer rounding a distant
cliff, and the Sea Gull lying motion
Tess Just within the breakwater. Wom-
zen may be unkfnd, but a ship is a
ship, after all. One can not nurse the
pain ever of a shattered heart when
running before a stiff wind with the
spinnaker set and an open sea ahead.
The thought decided him. The sea
should be his bride. jim did not stop
TO arrange, at the moment, just how
this should be brought about, but his
determination was none the less firm.
He became sentimental to the extent
of rejecting, vaguely, that this was
but philosophic justice. The sea had
not conquered him-far from 1t;
neither should She conquer him. He
would follow the sea, the path Of gla-
mour, the home Of the winged foot
and the vanishing sail, the road to
alien and mysterious lands
Thus Jimmy, in reaction from the
Arctic douche to which his emotional
self had been subjected. He was, fig
uratively speaking, blue with the cold,
but trying ~valiantly to warm himself.
AS he gazed at the Sea Gull, asleep
on the flood tide, cutting a gallant fig
ure In the glowing sunset, he felt an
overmastering longing to be aboard.
He would stay on the yacht until
Chamberlain came, at least; possibly
all night.
Having made up his mind on this
point, James persuaded himself that
ne felt better. Philosophy is a friend
an need, after all. Why should one
failure in getting ones desires crush
the spirit? He would make a right
about-face, travel for a year on a sail
ing vessel, see the world. That was
It. Hang the shoe business!

saw that 1t was red.

he exclaimed, trying at last to sit up.
