FK0.1I COO HOCK.
BY MAY D. HATCH.
It was variously designated the
"Turtlebaek," the "Turtledove," and
sometimes merely the "Dove." The old
salts of. the ilund knew it only as the
Turtlebaek r.iek, named for its decided
resemblance to the shining brown shell
of a monster tortoise protrudinp; from
the water; but o i account of its charm
in security for a tete-a-tete and for
the appreciation it met with from those
who were stromr enough swimmers to
enjoy its advantages the name which
had been j.-iven to it for its crustacean
likeness was usually perverted into the
simple, melodious appellation: "Coo
rock." Indeed, so general hud this
term become that even the venerable
guests of the Shawkemo house, dis
cussing the tide which covered it pretty
well at the full, would call it so in all
"seriousness, possibly confusing it, men
tally spelled wuii a 1C, wit h the various
Indian names witli which the island
abounded, or believing it had refer
once, spelled with a C, to the gentle
lapping of the waves about it.
U was Monday morning. Most of
the men who had come to spend Sun
day on the island had returned to
town, three hours distant by rail; and,
although the day was exquisitely clear
and beautiful aud the bay rejoiced in a
thousand shifting blues in the sun
shine, the bathers were few a half
dozen boys at tho school age turning
back-somersaults off the lloat, some
children paddling around in the wet
sand with their clothes tucked up be
hind out of the wet like cock feathers,
and a staid matron or two near shore,
mildly bobljing up and down incased
in flannel and bathers' hats.
As Marie Trask walked down the
tloat for her morning plunge she
.jouuea to tne ooys, looifed out over
the water, and sat down a moment on
the edge to try its temperature. She
f .dt a little lonely, a little depressed;
ahe swung her feet irreproachable in
ize, in shape, aud in black silk stock
ingslazily in the water, and medi
tated. She was a comely object for the wa
ter to rellect; a trim, srdte, girlish
ligure in a well-fitting black bathing
iuit, her blonde skin browned by the
outdoor life she was leading, her eyes
clear gray, a small nose which had a
tendency to be lioman, a sweet, happy
mouth that was quick to smile and
show the white teeth that had not yet
lo',t their baby uncveiinoss at the
edges, and, crowning all, her sunny
blonde hair; not so much of it, but it
crinkled ami rippled over her head in
such a fashion that no one came near
her but wanted to lay a hand on it and
smooth it down a bit, just to feel how
soft and sukv it was.
She looked over toward the rock; it
was quite a distance out in the little
harbor, and the tide ran rapidly there
at tne turn. It was about full now.
but it would be slack water for some
time yet, and she thought she would
try it. She had been out there often.
but never alone. She was a strong
swimmer for a girl, und destitute of
fear; but always before to-day there
nau ueen someone to go with Iter.
She slipped olf the lloat; the water
was perfectly clear and just cooler
than the air. With strong, quiet
strokes she startud for the rock as a
goal; half-way out she orew a little
tired, floated a few minutes to rest.
and then twain on. It seemed much
further than usual; but ulwuys before
.' lie had been diverted on tho way with
manly converse, or given a friendly
hand if sins were tired. At last she
reacueu u, pulled Herself eagerly up to
tne mgiicsi iiiii'iiii,' point of tiiU rock.
und gave u sigh of satisfaction. She
turned her back to the shore aud
looacd out at the hil!-elasped harbor.
What a perfect day it was,' .she was
irntated w ith herself for beinir blue
but how could she hi Ip it when other
people made idiots of themselves'.'
AVhut n stupid IhiiiT for her not to
have limited thiuiik'h the Imok, any
way, before she had lent it to him; 1,,'it
lit h ast sin' had il:rivcivi in tim,t
what n j..loiis, tb.uUing friend s.
had iiliu.isl cMiseiited to luairv. Mu
ri ineiiiber. d every word of the letter
she hud found waiting for her that
morning. It ran:

She slipped off tho rock aud struck out
for the shore. He followed her silent
