Early Showed Hero' IN.

Az a boy, Rear Admiral Young, who
died last month, showed qualities that
were sure to put him in the front rank
Of his profession. AS a midshipman,
he leaped overheard to rescue a sea
man, and before the boats could be
lowered and rowed to him, he was
three miles astern, swimming and
supporting the unconscious sailor
Later, when the ship Huron was
wrecked on 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
ing, dragged out the apparatus, and
succeeded in saving 81 officers and
men out OF crew of hundred and
thirty-two, For this act of heroism
congress advanced him in rank and

tate, made him honorary member.

CHAPTER XIV.
After You. Monsieur!

Jim had no desire to create a sensa
ton among his friends at the old REQ
house; but as he left the pine grove
all his instincts led him to flee in an
other direction. lie did not fully
realize Just what had happened to
him, but he was conscious of having
received a very hard jolt, indeed. The
touse full of happy associations as il
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 it done
and out of the way, and the less said
about it 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 notion

pain even of a shattered heart when
running before q 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 it;
neither should She conquer him He

but trying valiantly to warm himself
As he gazed at the Sea Gull, asleep

He would stay on the yacht until

der the stern, but he saw no more, He
thought It must have grown very
dark.
When Jimsy regained sight and con
sciousness, which happened not more
than three minutes after he lost them,
he found himself supported affection
ately against somebody's shoulder,
and a voice-the Voice OF all voices
he most loyed--was in his ears
Here ] am, dear. DO not die!
have come-come TO stay. If you want
me, James, dearest!" And bending
over him was a face-the very Vision
Of his dream. Look at me, speak to
me, James, dear!"
The voice was a bit hysterical, but
the face was eloquent, loving, adoring.
II 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.
IT'S great, isn't IT," he remarked
namely, before thinking il necessary
to remove his head. Her face was
btill the face Of tenderness, full OF
yearning. 1t did not change. She
took handkerchief from her pocket
and carefully pressed 1t to his cheek
and chin. When she took it away, he
saw that Il was red
Lord, what a mess I'm making"
he exclaimed trying at last to sit up.
AS he did so, it all came back to him
the flying shadow, the gun, the
struggle. He leaned over to peer again
through the crossed wires OF the deck
railing, down into the water He
turned back with an amazed EXPIRES
sion
Did he jump overheard, honest
true, hanging on to that spike?"
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 lhat it was necessary for him
to give chase, but he quickly sat down
ON the sail-cloth again, overcome with |
taintness and a dark pail before his /
eyes.
You are not hurt badly?" The
voice was still tender and II was all .
or him! AS Jim heard it, the pail
lifted, and his buoyant spirit came
back to its own. He laughed ring

For answer she pressed his hand

ha were left together on the sail

years. The services were we'll attend

had given their names for member

in another church. The preaching Of
DR.. Holder was of high order and his
labors in private and public most eff

sorrow the parents have the tender

can but bow to the will OF Him that
knows the things that are hidden from

understanding Gods ways seem hard,
yet He has promised that all things
shall work for good for those that love
him. In His wisdom He has seen fit
to spare the burdens Of life and take
the spotless soul of the child home to
the place where pain is not known.
Funeral services will be held at the
