When tho iighlH across tho valley, which served as curfew by saying lied time when they went out, had disap peared, sho came in and, Beating her self In tho dark at tho plnno, softly played tho chords- and hummed the words of a song. "It'll oome out nil right," said Aunt Susnn to herself, and she waited till Alice called to her to eoine in and go U bed. CriAPTEU XIX.. IrtAXK NASON hud consoled himself during the many mouths of hard study with visions of a yachting trip lu July and August, when perhaps In some manner Alloc I 'ago could lie In duced to come, with his-mother and sisters to chaperon her' and her broth or ami some other friends to complete the juirty. He had tho Gypsy put In first class shaiH? and all her staterooms refur nished, nnd one in particular, which he intended Alice should occupy, uplwl storod In blno. So well formod were his plans that he timed the start so as to utilize the July moon for tho first ten days and mapped out n trip taking In nil tlie M.'jlne coast spcnillng a wk at Bar Hurbor, aiul then u run up tin far as Novo Scot hi. ILo had described all tho clxirms of this trip to Alice and extended to her tlio iiHi3t nrgont Invitation, lie had obtained her brother's promlRe to sup plement It and ato to make one of the party, nnd he had persuaded bjs sJstor Blanch to aid Ulni with his mother, but ho IukI mot discouragement on all sldon. Ln tlK? first pla3, Alice wrote it wan doubtful if she could go. It woukl he a delightful outing and one she would enjoy, but it would not lie right to leave Aunt Susan alone for go long, und then, as Iter school did not ckwo until the hist of June, sl woukl have ut tinwj to get ready. To caji the climax of Frank's discom fiture, when ,ubj came his mother ui; nsuneed that she had decided to go tt; tho mountains for the summer. "It's no uao, Be.rt." he said to h; friend one evening. "1 wan tod yn;. sister to go to Maine with us and mm.--or and the girls and a few more make a party, but It's no 1:0. I ca:. Induce your sister to join us, and U -no use if s!h? would, for mother;- determined to go to the mountains. a. that settles it. If you and 1 have ui:t outing on the yacht we must make no n gander piirty." "Tlwit suits me Just as weii as,' u: in fact better than, the other plan," ,- j plied Albert oonsoltugly. "If we hr.vr a lot of knlics along we uiujt dance . tendance upon tltcui, and if not we e-.:: fish, smoke, phiy eaitls, sing or j;o ... Bleep when we fuel Hfte it, I tell yo:i. Frank," bo continued, evidently doss ing to cheer up tlmt young man. "glr: are ull right as oompnuious at home o. at balls ami tbonters, but on a ynchi they ure in the way!" A week ufterwitrd, and early one bright morning, tlio G'ypsy, with Bkipper, crew and a party of eight Jolly young men on board. Balled out of Boston nnd tlmt night dropped anchor under tbe lee of nn island in C'asco bay. She remained there one full day and the noxt ran to Booth bay and found slwlter l:i a landlocked cove' forming part o( tho coast line of Southport Island. It was after din ner uext tiny, and while the rest of the party were either playing cards or napping in hammocks under the awn ing, that Albert Page took one of the boats, his pipe nnd sketchbook and rowed down the coast n mllo to an in let ho K:;d noticed the day before. Tho outer point of this was formed by a bold cliff tlmt he desired to sketch, nnd 1 pulling the boat well up behind the ,lnner point, tying the painter to a rock and taking the cushions along, he found a shady spot and sat down. Tho sloping rock he selected for n scat was a little damp, but he thought nothing of It, and lighting bis pipe be gan sketching. Me worked for an hour putting the weed drajK'd rocks anil long swells that broke over them into his boc. and then, lulled perhaps by the monot onous rhythm of the ocean, lay back on the cushions' nnd fell asleep. The next he knew he whb awakened by a cold sensation and f 011 ml tho tide had rlson until It wet his feet. Hastily getting up, he took tho cushions and returned to whore he had left tho boat, only to find It had dtsuppenred. The rising tide had lifted the boat nnd pninter frojn the rocks, and it was nowhere to bo seen. "There m:ist be some rood back up on the island," he thought, "that will lead me near the cove where the Gypsy Is." nnd. still retaining tbe cushions, ho started to find it. But ho was a stranger to Southport island, and the further nwny from the sea "ho got the thicker grew tho tangle of scrub spruce and briers. It was too thick to see anywhere, and after a half hour of dosptwt scrambling the afternoon sun begun to seem about duo on t He had long since dropped the cui 'dons, nnd finally, In shwr exhatifr tii-:-hi: h lb, lu- he sat down on a rock to colloot If. looks ns though tm billed to stay ill night." he thought as ho notPd 'Worlng sun. "and nobody knows j'ineh longer! There must be a omowhore. though, nnd I'm go find It If tho light lasts li ng :;rted once more and had not' I gone ten rods ere ho came to one, and then be breathed easier. Ills clothes were torn, his bands and face scratch ed by briers, and to save himself ho couldn't make it seem but that the sun was wetting ln tlie oust. lie sat down to think All sound of the ocean was gone, und a stillness that, seemed to fruwl out of the thicket was around him. ILo rested u few moments more I nd thon suddenly heard the sound of t heels und presently -saw, coming around the curve, an old fashioned earrynll, worn and muddy, and. driv ing tho horse at a Jog trot, u man as dilapidated looking as tho vehicle. Gladdened at Uk Bight, ho arose and, tiuldlug up his hand as a signal, halted the team. "Kxcuko me, sir," ho said to tho man, who eyed htm curiously, "but will you tell mo whoro I am?" - "Waul," was the answer In n slow drawl, "ye're on Southport island nu' 'bout four miles from tlie Jumpin off place. Vbar might ye be goln'? Yo looked bushed.' "I urn," answered I'ago, "nnd badly bushed too. I lost my boat over back hero on tho shore nnd have had a ?hccrful t!mo among tho Mohawk briers. I belong to a yacht that is anchored in a cove of this island, I can't toll where, and if you will tako mo to her I'll pay you well." Tho man in the wagon laughed. "Say, stranger," ho observed with a chuckle, "you 'mind mo o'( tiro fellor that got full nn' wandered round for u spell till he fetched up to n house an' sod to the man tlmt cum to tlie door, 'If you will tell mo who I nm or whar I nm or whar I want tor go I'll give yo a dollar.' " 1'ago had to laugh in splto of his plight for the humorous twinkle In the old man's eyes as he uttered his Joke was infectious. "I'd like ter 'oominodnte ye," ho add ed, "but as Tm enrryin' Unolo Sam's maQ an' must git home an' tend the light, an' as ye don't know whar yo want ter go, ye best Jump In an go down to Saint's Host, whar I live, nn in the mornln' we'll try rin hunt up ver Iwat" It Boomed the only thing to do, and Albert availed himself of the chance, "Can you tell the spot where you found me?" ho said to the man ns tbor started on. "I'd Ilka to go bnck there tomorrow and find my cushions.'.' "Wnal," was tho answer, "ns I've dmv over Oils road twice a day for nigh on to thirty year, I'm tolerablo familiar with it My name's Terry, un' I'm keeper o' tbe light at tlie Cape an' carry the mail to sorter piece out oil Who might ye bo?" "My name's Pnpa, and I'm from Bos ton, and a lawyer by profession," re plied Albert j Uncle Terry eyed htm rather sharply. T wouldn't 'a' took yo fer one," he 1 said. "Yo look too honest ' I uln't i much stuck on lawyers," he added- with I a chuckle. "I've had 'sperenoe with 1 em. One of 'em sokl me a hole in tho ground onct, an' tt cost me tho bull 0' twenty yeaws strvin's! Ye'll 'scuse me for befn' bhurt it's my nntur." . "uu, 1 uon t mmu, responaea Al bert laughingly. "But you mustn't judge us ull by one rascal." They drove on, and as they Jogged up and down the sharp hills he caught sight here and there of tbo ocean, nnd alongside the road, which consisted of two ruts, a path and two grass grown ridges, he saw wlhl roses ln endless profusion. On either ba-nd was an in terminable thtcket. In tlie Itttle val leys grew masses .of rank ferns and 1 tlie ridges, interspersed betwoou tho wild roses, dusters of rod bunch- j berries. TImj sun was almost down ; when they reached the top of a long ! hill and he saw at Its foot a small bar bor connected with the ocean by a nar row Inlet und around it a dozen or more brown houses. Beyond was a tangle of rocks and, rising above them, the top of a white lighthouse. Uncle .Stood there unconscious. Terry, who bad kept up a running fire of questions nil tbe time, halted the horse and said; "Ye can uow take yer first look at Baint's Rest, otherwise known as the Cape. We ketch some lobsters an" fish hero an' bev prayer meet Id's once a work." Then he chirruped to tbe horse, and they rattled down tb hill to a small rtoro, where. he left a mall pouch und thon followed a winding roud between the scattered Iwus-'S snd out to the point, where stood a ixMt white dwell ing closo bctnide n llglithotiK. 'Til tako ye Into tiie house,' said Uu cle Trrry ns tho two alighted, "an toll tho wlmmin folks to put on an extra pint, nu' I'll put up the hoss," "t'm afraid I'm jnittlng your fnniil to 'some Inconvenience," responded Al bert, "nnd as It Is not dark yet 1 will walk out on the point. I may sx tht fin'lit Jiml vmi nil trouble." j The sun. n ball of tire, was almost at thu Iwrizon, tho sen nil uround lay ac I MA' iinru Iliad expanse of dark blue, undu lating with the ground swells that l-u tight the red glow of tho sinking sun us they came lu and broke upon the rocks. Aihort walked on to the highest of the shoto rocks and looked about. There was no sign of tlie Ciypsy, and only ouo boat was visible, and that a 'lory rowed by a man standing upright. Over the still waters Albert could do !.'ct the measured stroke of his oars. VI tat and the low rumble of tho ground swells, breaking almost at his feet, .veiti tbe only sounds. It wus like a ream of solitude, far removed from world and all Its distractions. For . few moment. he stood contemplating ie ocean allJit with the setting sun's jd glow', the gray rocks at his feet nnd tall white lighthouso towering rthove him. und then started around tho j'O'.nt. He had not taken ten steps .clun he saw the figure of a girl lea'n og against a rock and watching tlie citing sun. One elbow was resting on :bii rock, her face reposing In her open oand and fingers half hid In tho thick t!;.s.:es of hair tlmt shone in tho sun :!;;:it like burnished gold. A broad sun tint lay on the rock, and tho delicate profile of her face was sharply outlined against the western sky. Sho laid not beard Albert's stops, but ;tood there unconscious of his scrutiny. !Xo noted the classic contour of her fea tures, the delicate oval of her lips nnd -hin. and his artist eye dwelt upon and wim I red her rounded bosom nnd per fect shoulders. Had she jiosed for a lecture she could not have chosen a bet tor iKJsitlon, nnd was so alluring and withal so sweot mid unconscious that for 11 moment ho forgot nil else, even k;j own rudeuca in standing there and staring ut lier. Then he recovered him self and, turning, softly retraced his steps so ns not to disturb her. Who sho was ho had no idea and was still wondering when he mot Uncle Terry, who at once Invited hlin into the house. "This 'ere's Mr. Page, Lissy," he said n3 they entered nnd met n stout, eldar ly and gray hatred woman. "1 found him up tin roud a spell an' wnutin' to know whar he was." Albert bowed. "1 am sorry to intrude." ho Baid, "but I bad lost my boat and all points of tV compass wheu your husband kindly took me in charge." Being offered a chair, Albert su down nnd was loft alone. Ho surveyed tho plainly furnished sitting room, with opou fireplace, n many colored rag car pot on tho floor, old fashioned ehai and dozens of pictures on the walls. They caught his eye ut once, main!;, because of tho oddity of the framo.-. which wore evidently homemade, urn then a door was opened, and Undo Tor ry Invited him into a lighted rooi: whoro a table was set. The elderi.r lady was standing at one end of it an: beside her u younger one, and as Al bert eutered he heard Uncle Terry sa "This is our gal Telly, Mr. Page," am us he bowed ho saw, garbed in spotter white, tho girl he had sven ieunhi; against the rock and watching the sun sot. 1 CONTINUED ON PAGE S3VEK.
