He heard the splash OF the water, and
saw the rowboat move out from IN
der the stern, but he saw no more. He
thought it must have grown very
dark.
When Jirnsy 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 voice-the Voice of all voices
he most loved-was in his ears.

me, James. dearesti" And bending
over him was face-the very Vision

me, James. deari"
The voice was bit historical. but
the face was eloquent, loving. adoring.
It 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 1t kind
once more. Then he smiled foolishly.
TITS great, isn't it," he remarked
namely, before thinking 1t 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 1t to his cheek
and chin. When she took 1t away. he
saw that 1t was red

he exclaimed. trying at last to sit up.
AS he did SO, 1t all came back to him

railing, down into the water. He
turned back with an amazed express

Neither Aleck nor Agatha could
say, nor yet Mr.. Chamberlain, who
had been searching the yacht.
Wherever 1t was, the rusty marline-
spike had disappeared. The rowboat.
too, had gone into the darkness. Jim
got up, dazedly thinking for mo-
ment that 1t was necessary for him
to give chase. but he quickly sat down
on the Fail-cloth again. overcome with
faintness and dark pail before his
eyes.

voice was still tender, and 4 was all

lifted, and his buoyant spirit came
back to its own. He laughed ring

Juvenile AItruism.

Little Paul came in to ask bis
mother if Alfred and he might each
have a cooky. His mother purposely
gave him two of different sizes. In
terested as to which Paul would give
his guest, she stepped to the door just
in time to see Paul give the smaller
cake to his playmate

Yes, / know" was the nonchalant
reply. But, you see, l was afraid
that If gave Alfred the biggest one

No one ever knew whether the &C

the Sea Gull was also his final exit

mite was found, after a gingerly
search, lying on one of the berths in
the large cabin, where it had been
dropped by the Frenchman in his
fight.
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

ness hung over the listening water,
there would rise song. clear and
birdlike:

of sorrow,

and again Jimmy's heart would rise
buoyant, free, happy-the heart OF I'M
quenchable youth.

CHAPTER XIV.
After You, MonsIeurl

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 fee 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
Eouse, full of happy associations as it
was, was just now too tantalizing q
place Aleck had woneout, 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 1t the better. In fact, Jim's
ouoyant 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

The thought decided him. The sea
should be his bride. jim did not stop
20 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
