MJ*m in luck again," he remarked to
himself, as he reached the big yellow
boulder at the stile.
"Good morning, Miss Johnson."
Bhe looked up to see wlio spoke and
attid,—
"Fine day for blue-Ashing. I sup-
pose you vvil go out with some of the
bouts'"
"Well, no; hadn't thought of it. Is
it the thing to do?"
"All the gentlemen at the hotel go.
Any of the fishermen will take you for
half the catch."
81ic had not asked him to enter the
garden, and when, without waiting
for an invitation, he mounted the stile
and came towards her, he said to him-
self.—
"She's trying to be coy. It only
means, 'Come in.'" •
Whatever she meant, she paid no
further attention to him till ho was
close by her side; ami when he again
spoke .she st« od up and begau to take
oil" the old glove she had evidently
worn for the work in the garden, as if
intending to go into the house.
"I enjoyed our walk so much last
night, Miss Johnson, and it is so des-
perately lonely at the hotel,—you see,
I don't know a soul there,—that I ven-
tured to call on you again and renew
the acquaintance so pleasantly
begun."
Hhe could not in politneess resist any
longer, aud said, with a faint smile,
"There is little that would interest
you here. sir. We are very quiet folks.
Hedge fence Light is not exactly an in-
spiriting place."
"Oh, yes, it is. I like it immensely.
You have such a wide view of the sea
and the surf dashing on the rocks all
day just at your parlor window, ns
you might say. It's all very interest-
ing, I assure you. it must he grand
in storms."
' The girl made no reply, and turned
and looked out over the water with
a peculiar grave and far-away look in
in her eyes.
"The sea is always sad—to those
who know it best."
"Come! you're a trifle low-spirited
owing to your brother's absence on the
yacht Why not take a little walk
along the beach and let me cheer you
up?"
Whe ntared at him in open-eyed won-
der, a id for a moment he was slightly
abasl.ed, as if he had gone too far.
• C':ipt. Johnson is not my brother."
"Oh! I leg pardon Natural mis-
take- "
"Mai!"
'J his word was spoken as it it were
out of the sky
. "What is it, father?"
To the young man's amazement, the I
voice that had seemed to drop out of
the upper air came from the light-
house tower over their heads. There
on the iron balcony around the lantern
stood au elderly party, in blue overalls
and straw hat both much the worse for
oil, and looking calmly down on tlieiu
both. The young1 man glanced up at
the sturdy figure overhead, and then
looked off over the water, remarking
to himself,-
"I suppose the old chnp has been
obfr'rving us all the time."
Miss Jolinson, as soon as the voice
came, had promptly replied, and now
stood looking up to see what was
Wanted.
"Fetch me up my screwdriver. Some
Stupid bird Hew ag'in' the light last
jhiglit and smashed one of the windics.
Guess if you look round you will find
.hiiu somewhere."
"One minute, father." Then, turn-
dug to her visitor, she said, "You must
excuse me for a few moments. Father
wants me."
| "All right. I'll wait for you."
I With that she entered the house, and
the young man began to walk slowly j
about the garden and little grass plot.
He would wait till she returned. Once
in a wnile he glanced furtively up at
the tower.
"Confound the man! lie may have
been watching us ever since 1 arrived."
Presently ho heard footsteps coming
round the white tower. It was Mai,
and in her hand* she hold the dead
body of a beautiful sea-bird.
"Here it is, 1 found it on the
grass.''
"Dear me, Miss Johnson! I was not
aware you were a sportsman. When
did you kill it?"
"I Uiil itl I could not do such a cruel
thing as that. The bird was killed by
Hying against the light in the night."
"How very singular! Does it often j
happen?"
"Yes. The poor creatures see the
light, and, thinking it some beautiful
object, they fly towards it and dash
out their poor little lives against the
glass. Sometimes they even break the
glass of the lantern in flying towards
the light."
"Queer, isn't it?"
"Yes. So strange that any creature
jShould meet harm iu seeking what it
thinks desirable or lovely."
"Mai."
j Again the big voice out of the air.
| "Well, father, what do you want?"
"Have to trouble you to come up
here and help me a bit"
A few moments later Mr. Royal
Yardstiokie was walking slowly along
•the bluff towards a 1« hotel. His ii*
terview had been short and not wholly
satisfactory. However, it was a be-
ginning, and lie would do better next
time, .lust then a gull wheeling over-
head threw its Hying shallow across
his path.
"What fools these sea-birds are!
breaking their necks in trying to get
at something that would ruin them if
they had it!"
if the young man had had eyes to
see, he would have drawn back when
that flying shadow in silence crossed
his path.
Unfortunately, having eyes he saw
not.
Three days passed, and Mr. Royal
Yardstickie began to find the lloll
quite an entertaining place, lie had
called every day on Mai Johnson, and
had even walked to the village with
her and visited the little post-
office and store and carried a
bundle (a very small one) for her
on the way home. He observed sundry
blinds drawn back und curtains raised
as if inquiring minds were looking out
to see who passed the white houses,but
he paid no heed to this or to the
glances of the young people ami others
from the hotel passing on the village
street.
The piazza gossips knew all about
it They said it was scandalous that a
young man who came to the place
quite alone, and whose mother was t.i I
join hi in here in a few days, should i
pay such marked attentions to a girl I

and, of course, superior girls were to :

beach. His mother would certainly
not approve of bis conduct were she to
hear of it. The chorus might have
continued with increasing power, just
us a motive among the violins may
spread through the orchestra, had not
the whole band come to an abrupt
finale in a little burst of excitement
over an unexpected arrival at the ho-
tel.
Jack Manning's yacht was re-
ported off the I loll about 2
o'clock one afternoon, and natu-
rally the news came to the hotel.
The moment lloyal Yardstickie heard
of it he walked by the short road
through the woods to the landing, lie
was having a very good time, but if
Jack Manning kept his word there
was promise of still greater amuse-
ment Resides, his progress at the
light had not been so rapid as lie had
wished. Miss Johnson was reserved,
more so than any other young woman
he had ever met, and though her fresh
and natural beauty won his admiration
he felt that in some fashion she kept
him at arm's length. As he came in
sight of the wharf he saw the yacht at
anchor iu the bay, and a boat putting
off, as if to come ashore. By quicken-
ing his pace he could meet the party
at the dock.
There was the usual crowd at the
cud of the wharf—fishing people and
village girls, fashionable misses in
nautical costumes, and plenty of cliil
dren from the village and the colony,
and, child-like, fraternizing with
cheerful freedom, lie was just too
late to see the boat land, and met the
party coming up the wharf. Jack Man-
ning hearty and cordial as ever, an«f
behind him the skipper, and beside the
skipper Mai Johnson and Miss lJoyls-
ton.
'Glad tr> see you, old man. We ran
in here for some fresh water. Sail
again in a couple of hours. Have a
spare berth now. Won't you joiu us
for a few days?"
"Delighted, my boy, delighted. Let
me run back to the hotel and pack up
a few traps."
"All right. Meet us on the dock at
5 o'clock.
With merely a nod to the ladies.
Royal excused himself and started
back to his hotel.
The others also parted at the head
of the wharf, Miss Boy Is ton and Mr.
Manning gotng to the little postoftice
to look for letters, and Mai and the
skipper taking the beach-path to-
wards the lighthouse.
For a little space they walked on in
silence, as if content und happy to be
in each other's company, he thinking
of a happy day to come, and she
troubled with a vague distrust that
had sprung up in her heart. When
"I know that, deary, and yet it is so
lonely when you are away. Father is
always busy about the light, and—
well—how can I tell you?—I'in lonely,
deary, very sad and lonely, when you
are away. Get Capt. Withrow to take j
your place for this trip, just this once.
It will only be for a few days."
"Why, what's the trouble, Mai?
You know 1 must be away more or less |
all summer. What trouWes you?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Yes, there is; and you must tell me
what it is."
"I will, deary. It is best I should.
You saw that Mr. Yardstickie?"
"The black-eyed chap who tried to
help you over the stile that morning?"
"Yes. You know Mr. Manning in-
troduced him to me with the others on
the yacht, and then we came ashore
together in Capt. Glass's boat. He of-
fered to escort me home, and I couldn't
very well refuse; and since then he has
called at the light every day."
"Without invitAtion?"
"Yes. Father did not seem to like
him at first,—for of course 1 hail to
present him to father; you wouldn't
have me rude even to u stranger,—and
now father seems to like to see him,
and makes him feel quite at home.''
"And does he mcau to stay here
long?"
"I think not. lie says he is waiting
for his mother, a Mrs. Judge Gearing
of New York, and then they may goto
Newport or Narragansett Pier."
"1 hope they will. Now, deary, just
excuse me a moment. You go on to
the house, and I'll run back to the vil-
lage for a moment"
"You won't be long? You know you
sail in two hours."
"I may not sail at all. I'll return
soon, dear."
With that the blond giant turned and
strode away towards the village. Mai
stood in the path, looking after him.
"Perhaps I ought not tc have told
him. How much he loves me! Dear
Sam! He's born almost without a
tongue, but he often says, 'The sarmon
thru, then comes the do.' "
It did not take the skipper long tc.
find his employer.
"Oh, certainly, Capt. Johnson If
the man who is to take your place is a
safe man, all right. I've no objection*
Perhaps it will do you good to be
ashore for a few days. Mai seems a
little low-spirited. Stay at home with
her till we return, and cheer lier up.
Don't bother about Capt. Wiihrow's
pay in your absence. I'll fix that all
right."
The two men shook hands and
parted in the little street. Mr. Man-
ning went over to the hotel with Miss
Boylston, and, leaving- her there, re-
turned to the wharf. Mr. Royal Yard-
stickie soon after put in an ppea
arrayed in a truly nautical suit of blue,
as befitted the occasion. As for V
skipper, he went home with a light
heart. If any city visitors came now
to the light they would find it indeed a
Hedgefeuce.
There was some little delay in get-
ting the new skipper and introducing
him to his new command, and it was
nearly dusk v hen the schooner steered
away for Marthas V ineyard under a I
sail, for the night promised to be calm,
and the party on board were in no
haste. In fact, if they ti itl not reach
Cottage City till daylight it would be
just as well.
As the yacht crept out of the harboi
the white steamboat from New London
came in. There were many people on
board, for the summer visitors were
flocking to the beaches. She passed
quite close to the yacht, and a few
people on the upper deck came to the
side and waved friendly handkerchiefs
at the passing schooner. Among them
stood a young and handsome woman
in fashionable attire. She seemed a
stranger, and the friendly fluttering ol
handkerchiefs amused her.
"These Americans are so strange It
is not at all like la belle France."
The steamer pulled up at the wharf,
and there was a murmur of voices as
the crowd on deck mingled with the
throng on the landing, friends, rela-
tions, lovers, meeting again iu the
pleasant summer weather, care and
the city left behind, every one in good
spirits and struggling to get ashore
and to find their trunks and get a seat
in the long open wagons called
"barges," and all in that quiet good
humor that marks an American crowd
on pleasure bent The gaj'ly-painted
barges were soon tilled, and drove
rapidly away into the village and out
through the woods to the cottage and
hotel. At the hotel all the guests
were out to greet fathers, lovers, and
husbands, and to see the new ar-
rivals.
Then from the barge Fairy Queer
descended a young and handsome
woman, arrayed in a costume that
seemed to tit her marvelously. Hehind
her came a little maid carrying the
hand-bags and looking every inch a
French peasant girl. With the de-
lightful freedom of American seaside
hotels, the young woman, followed by
her maid, went directly to the office.
There were young girls wait-
ing near to receive their let-
ters from the mail bag * that
had just been banded to the clerk.
There were men and bovs in negligent
seashore suits standi ug and sit
ting about in the breezy office
much as if it were some big and
pleasant family room. That tin
stranger should aak for a room anc
prepare to enter her name in the regis
ter did not excite the least comment

He was a bount.-Jumper and had
been shot down while trying to escape
from the guard house. He was burly,
big, fierce of look and rough of speech,

hospital he cursed and raved in a
Say to make you chill. He had re-
ceived a mortal wound, but death
had no terrors for hiin. When the
Surgeon told him he must die within
forty-eight hours he replied:
"Bah! What of it? The only favor
I have to ask is that you keep snivel-
ers away. I want no pray in' and

Ho had beon a wicked man. He
boasted of it He ridiculed the idea
of a hereafter and cursed the bible
and religion. Men and women came
to speak with him, fo that he might
hot die as a dog, but he mocked and
cursed them. We who watched for
the end saw the shadow of death
when it foil, lib realized that life
was ebbing, but still ho cursed and

wife of a wounded sergeant came in

her a little fair-haired girl of 1 or
years old, and as she talked the child
slipped away and wandered up and
down the aisles to inspect tho cots
and their occupants. A score of us
tried to coax her nearer, but fche was

the pallor of death on his face, but
fighting tho specter away, she paused
and stared at him. When he saw
her a smile flitted over his face and
tho fierce light died out of his eyes

to approach, and to our great sur

she stood besido his cot The mother
rose up in alarm, but ttoe nurse
