TransmissibiIity of Genius.

The sale of relics of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning by executors of
the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which
began May I, again calls attention to
the fact that the child of union 80
richly lowered, from the literary
and artistic standpoint, failed to show
traces of the genius of either parent
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-
traordinary. 1t would almost seem
that genius not only has way of
sometimes consuming its possessor
but also of consuming itself, as far
as the immediate offspring are con-
cerned. At any rate, the evidence as
to its transmissibility is still lacking
although, of course, there are plenty
of facts to Justify belief as to the
transmissibility of special talents.

HER "BEST FRIEND"

died last month. showed qualities that
were sure to put him in the front rank

he leaped overheard to rescue a sen.

Later. when the ship Huron was
wrecked on a reef off the North Caro-
lima coast, he and another man tried
to reach the shore on a raft. When
the raft capsized, he not only swan
ashore. but dragged his companion to
safety with him. Then he ran to a life
saving station. broke into the build

succeeded in saving "a officers and
men out of crew of a hundred and
thirty-two. For this act of heroism
congress advanced him in rank, and
the Legislature of Kentucky, his native
state. made him an honorary member

CHAPTER XIV.
After You, Monsieur!

Jim had no desire to create sensa-
ton among his friends at the old red
house; but as he left the pine grove
all his instincts led him to fee in an
other direction. He did not fully
realize Just what had happened to
him, but he was conscious of having
received 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
them 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 1t the better. In fact, Jim's
buoyant and sunny spirit went into
eclipse; he lost his holiday ardor. and
trudged 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
less Just within the breakwater. Wom-
en- may be unkind, but ship is a
ship, after all. One can not nurse the
pain even 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
cNSJ.d 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 It;
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 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.
NHlving made up his mind on this
zYnt, James persuaded himself that
he felt batter. Philosophy is a friend
in need, after all. Why should one
failure in getting ones desires crush
the spirit? He would make right
about-face, travel for year on sail
ing vessel, see the world. That was
IT Hang the shoe business!
Immersed in mental chaos such as
these fragments of thought suggest,
Jim did not perceive that he was be-
ing overtaken until a slow greeting
enme to his ears.
Good evening, friend" 1t was the

EPILOGUE.

No one ever knew whether the &C
complished Frenchman reached shore,
ultimately. in the rowboat, or descend
ed to Sabrina beneath the waves. If
that last hasty exit from the deck of
the Sea Gull was also his final exit
from life, certain 1t is that his depar-
ture into the realm of shades was un-
wept and unsung. The stick of dyna-
mite was found, after gingerly
search. lying on one of the berths in
the large cabin. where 1t had been
dropped by the Frenchman in his
flight
Jimmy Hambleton did not let the
shoe business entirely go to destruc-
ton, though his taste for holidays
grew markedly after he brought his
bride home with him to Lynn. One
year, when the babies were growing
up. he ordered trim little yacht to be
built and put into her berth at
Charlesport. She was named the Sea
Gull. Jimmy's chauffeur. called Hand
was her captain.
Sometimes, when James and Aga
tina were alone, in the zone of still
ness hung over the listening water
there would rise a song. clear and
birdlike:
Free OF my pain, free of my burden
of sorrow,
At last shall see thee"
and again Jimmy's heart would rise
buoyant. free, happy-the heart of un-
quenchable youth.

sible to Eradicate.

The influence of the moon upon the
weather was in ancient times assumed
In much the same way as the influence
of the moon upon the tides OF the sea
was assumed. There was no proper
knowledge of the facts in either case.
and 1t was accepted in both cases
merely because the regular changes
of the earth's shadow on the moon
were used as the great primitive time
keeper. and any frequent changes In
other things must happen after some
one or other of those regular changes

He heard the splash of the water, and
saw the rowboat move out from un-

The voice was a bit hysterical, but
the face was eloquent, loving, adoring.
1t was too good to be true, though Jim
was disposed to let the illusion pro-
long itself as far as possible. He put
up his hand and smoothed her face
gently, in gratitude at seeing it kind
once more. Then he smiled foolishly.
TITS great isn't It'll" he remarked
namely, before thinking it necessary
to remove his head. Her face was
still the face of tenderness. full of
yearning. 1t did not change. She
took a handkerchief from her pocket
and carefully pressed it to his cheek
and chin. When she took 1t away. he
saw that 1t was red.

he exclaimed. trying at last to sit up.

Neither Aleck nor Agatha could
say, nor yet Mr.. Chamberlain. who
had been searching the yacht.
Wherever it was, the rusty marline-
spike had disappeared. The rowboat,
too. had gone into the darkness. Jim
got up. dazedly thinking for a mo-
ment that 1t was necessary for him
to give chase. but he quickly sat down
on the sail-cloth again, overcome with
faintness and dark pail before his
eyes.
"You are not hurt badly?" The
voice was still tender, and 1t was all
for him! AS Jim heard it, the pail
lifted, and his buoyant spirit came
back to its own. He laughed ring
ingly

to stay?"
For answer she pressed his hand
to her lips.
Aleck and Chamberlain, once as
sured that Jim was safe, went below
to make a search. and Jim and Aga
tina were left together on the sail
cloth. As they sat there, young
moon shone out delicately in the west
and dropped quickly down after the
lost sun.
IT'S the first moon we've seen to-
gether!" said Jim.
But we've watched the dawn"
"Ah. yes; and such a dawni"
Little by little. as they sat togeth-
er. the story of the fight came out.
Jim told it bit by bit, not eager When
it was done, Agatha was still puzzled.
