Tou know Alastair? No how should
Pmt ? V.pv four ruinnl. Irnniv If nnrl T
have done my best to keep the secret to
myself. The place lies, however, not so
very far from, great cities on the Atlan
tic coast. You take a train northward
from Boston, and when you reach the
proper station -you alight and climb Into
a countryman's wagon, and he drives you
through the pines by a twisting, sand
built road to Alastair. Tou will know it
because you can go no farther, unless you
choose to drive into the waves.
Few people come to Alastair. Most
of the travelers in this part of the world
turn off about a mile inland from the
honnh nnil trn on fnl Another mile And a
half to the Penguin Club. The latter ht-
full of New iorkers who come to tne
pines and the sea to hunt and finh and
forget Wall Street and Fifth Avenue.
They forget it by keeping close together,
and dressing for dinner, and dancing
every other night.
Alnstair Itself is only a beach between
two great headlands. From the end
where my cottage stands, snugly hid In
the pines on the edge of the dunes, the
beach stretches smooth and white to a
little land-locked harbor at the farther
end. Sit on my porch and look down
along the sands to the east and you
will see a reef of rocks shaped like the
letter U that closes in a little salt water
lake with the aid of a distant cliff. It
Is not quite a lake, rather a small In
land sea, for the tides have room to ebb
nnd flow. A ship is settled into the
sands of this sea, settled upright, so
that oue may walk tho decks, and I
often go there of an afternoon when the
tide is low and climb on board. It Is a
good place to sketch, and I can leave
my paints and canvas in the cabin.
I stumbled across Alastair when I was
looking for a quiet place in which to
write. I found the dilapidated cottage,
camped in It for a week, and fell so much
In love with the beach that I went to
town, bought the house and part of the
woods, and moved In. Charles, the man
who had served my father before me, de
murred at first, but finally gave In, and
turned himself Into cook, housemaid, and
valet for my sake.
From my balcony I can see the distant
rocks of the little Inland sea and, stand
ing up above them, the high sides of the
ship, and Its single remaining broken
mast pointing straight to the heavens.
Sometimes the stars seem to outline
where the missing spars and sails should
be and on a bright night I can half close
my eyes and fancy that I see the rigging
lighted and lanterns burning on the quar-
There' Is history hidden In that bat
tered hulk. She is no ordinary vessel,
and may once, for all I know, have been
. pirate craft She has the long clipper
lines of swiftness, and her high, bulging
bow Is of a type long past. When I
first came to Alastair I made Inquiries
M to her history, but the oldest farmer
could tell me only that she had always
been there so far as be knew, and dis
missed the subject as of no importance.
The people of the near-by comtry ap
peared never to have boarded the casta
way I felt the joys of Crusoe when I
firrt climbed on her deck J"
was gone, long ago washed out by the
ea; the deck was bare, and the top of
the forecastle choked with sand. I
brought a shovel and dug away the ram
part drifted against the hatches. At
last I could open the door and clearing
be steps of what little snnd bad mf ted
hrough, I descended into the cabin. It
was mildewed with damp and water, but
in time, by balling and letting the sun'
in, I dried it out and lound quite a hab
itable apartment, furnished with table
and chairs and a row of bunks along the
seaward side. Whatever there bad been
that was portable the first wreckers must
years before have carried off. All that
was left was a heavy oaken chest, stud
ded with brass nails, now greenish-yellow,
and when I broke the lock I fonnd
the chest bare.
My fancy loved to play about the
ship. Often I dreamed of her and of a
man who should come up out of the sea
and tread her deck again. He was al
ways a magnetic figure, and I never
could resist the call of mystery to fight
beside him.
CHAPTER II.
It was the most beautiful August that
I remembered. The air was clear as a
bell, and day after day the sun rose on
a tranquil world and smiled at It for
joy. Every morning at breakfast I would
say to Charles, "Did you ever know
such weather, Charles?" and he would
answer, "No, sir, I never did. sir," and
every evening at supper I would say, "It
has been a glorious day, Charles, hasn't
it?" and he would answer, "It has, sir,
Indeed It has, sir." My family servant
made a perfect echo.
The afternoon on which I finished the
first half of my book I sat for some time
on the porch outside my den, smoking. I
was too serene to stir. I watched the
gulls circle and skim above the pine
crowned cliff, and the lazy waves, rising
occasionally Into sparkling white caps,
lift their heads and duck again like play
ful dolphins. ' The tide was coming in ;
I could mark the great wet circles on the
beach as it advanced, now receding for
a moment, but quickly recovering the
lost ground and marching on, steadily
winning over the yellow sands. It would
be high-tide by sunset or a little after;
everything was setting In from sea to
land ; the salt smell was coming strongly
on the east wind.
About 5 o'clock I shut the door of my
cottage and started down the beach, con
scious of no further plan than to board
the ship and, possibly, catch something
of the late afternoon color for my can
vas. Now and again I stopped to watch
small flocks of sand-snipe scurry over
the wet, glistening sands, now to watch a
wave recede and leave a path of opales
cent pebbles in its wake. There were
jewels for all the world and to spare as
long as the water bathed the stone.
So, walking leisurely, I came in time
to the far end, and looked across the har
boring rocks to the ship. To my surprise,
a young woman stood on the deck, and
fluttering from a splinter of the mast
was a white handkerchief. She was look
ing across at me, her hands shading ber
eyes from the sunset glitter at my back,
and as she saw me look up she waved
her hand beckonlngly. The easy path
to the ship lay . through a small break
where the rocks joined the cliff, but this
break was some distance off. With a
smile for what I saw must have happened
to the skipper, I climbed over the near
est rocks and stood on the edge of the
little inland sea. Sure enough, the tide
in rising had covered the causeway Jo
the cliff, and was pouring in, fast filling
the harbor, like the bowl of a flooded
fountain. The water was not yet deep ;
it barely covered the path by which the
explorer had come, and even off the
rocks In front of it It was scarcely up to
my knees.
Tee woman ot the ship eaPed, Trs
snarooned. I came by the path and for
got all about the tide. What shall I do?"
She pointed towards th way she had
come, but I was In rough clothes and
quite need to a wetting, so I waded in
and. crossing the shallow bowl, quickly
scrambled on to the high deck. I stood
updripplng and laughing.
"So you thought you'd go for a sail,"
I asked, "but didn't think you'd sail so
far from land?"
The girl I saw now that she couldn't
be more than 20 looked quizzically at
nw for a second, then smiled, and finally
laughed.
"It was such a very real ship." she
said, "that I couldn't resist the call. I
fell asleep sitting against the gunwale,
and when I woke up the water was over
the path not very far over, 'but quit
enough to ruin these forever." She
pointed to her kid slippers. "I was grow
ing desperate when I saw you on the
beach." '
I was studying the slippers ; there was
no question but that the salt water
would ruin them. She Inspected them
also.
"It was very foolish of me to wear
them, but I had no Idea of going far
when I left the club. The first thing I
knew, I caught a glimpse of the water,
and then I forgot the slippers and walked
on until I came to that cliff, and from
there I saw this little harbor and this
boat, and I couldn't resist that, could If"
I shook my head. "Nobody could re
sist It."
"I had just about come to the point
of taking them off and wading In," she
went on, and then finished, "when I
sighted you."
"I can go away again," I suggested.
"No," she said slowly ; "I'd rather you
didn't do that. There must b som
other way out of It."
"There are several other ways," I an
swered. "I've often studied the problem
from this very deck."
I thought she looked a little bit sur
prised. "Do you often find people ma
rooned here girls, I mean?"
"No, but I've often wondered what I
should do if I did. To tell the truth,
I've sever found any one here before, but
the ship looks as If she ought to be In
habited. She's a good ship, and once
belonged to a pirate chief.'
"How do you know that?" she asked.
"By the oaken chest below-deck. It
has the pirate look, though thete's noth
ing In it."
"Yes," she said; "I made an exploring
trip and I found the chest."
"Don't you agree with me, then?"
Again there came that quizzical look
In ber eyes, and then the smile.
"Yes," she said; "It must have belong
ed to a pirate." She stopped short and
ths smile spread from her lips to her
eyes. "Shall I tell you a secret? When
I fell asleep here an hour ago I dreamed
of pirates, ot a real old-fashioned buc
caneer who came up out of the cabin
fully armed, pistols in his pockets and In
his hands and a pistol clenched In his
teeth. The funny part of It is that be
was exceedingly polite to me. Do you
ever have such foolish dreams as that?"
"Often ; a buccaneer calls on me every
other week. I'm only waiting for the
chance to ship with one. I think their
ghosts must still Inhabit Alastair."
The girl's hand stole up to capture
some loose strands of hair, and for the
first time I noted the tine spun gold In
the son.
"Alastair?" she repeated. "Oh, so this
Is the beach of .Alastair and you?"
She paused. "You must be the man they
told me about at the club you live In a
cottage at the far end of the beachj and
write books, and never come out of your
shell."
I bowed. "I am the man," I said, "and
yonder is my home." I pointed west
ward to where the tip of my balcony
showed between the dunes.
"What a beautiful little world!" she
said, and thed, a moment later, "but
how lonely 1 Who named the place Alas
tair?" "I don't know. It's always been called
that, apparently."
"It's a lovely name. And what do you
call the ship?"
"Oh, just the Ship. Her other name
disappeared years and years ago."
"The Ship of Alastair. And do you
sometimes come on board of her to
wrlteT'
"No, I have a den foe that Some
times I come here to paint. I keep my
things in the cabin.'
"Yes, I found them," she said. "You
see, I know a great deal more about you
than you think."
(To be continued.)
Let t-IIanded Barber.
"Of course left-handed persons are
scarce anyhow," said the man who car
ries bra habits of observation even Into
the barber's chair, according" to the
Washington Post, "but they are mighty
scarce among; barbers; In fact, I have
seen but two or three In my experi
ence. "But you ere sure to notice It when
you do find one. , He does just as elfl
clent work, but It Is the way he does
It that attracts your notice.
"The barber as a rule stands at the
right of the customer while shaving
him, making little trips to the back and
to the left only when necessary. Nat
urally, I suppose, the left-handed bar
ber does just the opposite; he stands
most of the time at your left
"For that reason yon won't find a
left-handed barber In the middle of a
line of .barbers. His chair has to stand
at one end so that he Won't bump into
the right-handed one next to him.
"Like most left-banded persons his
right Is more dexterous than the left
hand of - right-handed persons usually
Is. He shaves you with either hand,
but prefers the left. He strops a razor
just aa a right-handed one does, how
ever, and that Is about the only point
of similarity." ,
