Norman poas.intry. which on other women
mailo them to appear s.piat. failtd to hide
her well romnlej proiiortions ainl maiden-
Ij grace.
She had a sharp tongue, ha.l this daugh
ter of the Nadoaus. an 1 when she was
merry her laughter rang out like sleigh
bells in winters frost. Sun. lay aiter
riooii. when vespers wore over, was the
time when she would exercise her sharp
wit : when, with tho other maids of the
i.auilct she sought the lumber wharf to
pwap words of badinage with the lighter
men, d.-al handlers and trimmers gathered
there.
There wet- no frivMiti-s on week days,
however, when Anguine milked the cows,
and made tasty butter f r the Nad. .an
table. This d ine she would seat herself
at th-' Io:n. which would ring out its
rapid click-clack to the push of her vig
orous foot, as it turned out its webs of
linen, flannel or cat-doiine, for village con
Fumpiion. She was as quick with her
little hands and feet as with that biting,
scornful tongue of hers.
Kvery year, as the big ship Margaret
I'olloik anchored oSf the shore for cargo.
Captain Locke would pay her a visit the
moment he set foot on land. Clean
shaven, but for a fringe of fierce red whis
kers, his face was vast and lurid as the
setting sun. lie wore broadcloth on such
occasions, with a beaver hit as high as an
ordinary chimney: his shirt-front rivaling
in Pipanse his main t'gillant sail.
He always brought her a present, some
trifle picked up in a foreign port, which
lie would donate in an offhand manner.
Sometimes the girl would kiss his gn irl.-d
cheek, and h- would Hap h- r on the shoul
der softly with a hand which, clenched,
could fell an ox.
One day the schooner Notr- Paine des
Anges came in. to load Tinners' stuff, hav
ing been chartered f r this purpose by a
Mack-browed man of thirty-five about,
who pave his name as Poisvert. lie
swaggered to a certain extent, nnd was
clad in garments supposed to be of fash
ionable cut and texture. The women
bought him handsome, but his eyes were
pet rather Hose together for beauty, and
liis nose, benr, and with a scar in the
concave section, cave to his face a sinister
expression. IurinR the intervals of load
in:? he sat much in the house of le pere
Is'adeau. depreciating their surroundings.
His constant disparagements at length
took root in the girl's mind, and her en
vironment grew narrow and bald the more
lie talked. He assailed the feminine fash
ions of the port, too ; so that when a
modiste drifted to the village from St.
Michel, with steel engraved fashion plates
not three years of age, Angeline became
li'T first customer. One Sunday she went
o church in a new sown, of bright color,
with a hat decked with red paper flowers,
and a ribbon at her neck of poppy hue.
M. P.oisvert was filled with admiration.
"How the boys would cast soft eyes at
you in St. Uoeli," lie asured her with a
melting look.
"(Jo away, M. Poisvert." was her re
tort, but it was accompanied with an af
fected toss of her pretty bead, which the
old Nadeau and his wife disliked, though
they could not just say why. So did
Oapha Ouellet. He had Ix-eii a log job
ber, and having been successful in his
contracts, he had invested his capital in
a Kiiug farm in St. Angele, where his old
mother kept his house clean until such
time as Angeline would consent to be
come tlie mistress. .Mas ior ins nopes ;
the girl had of late become contoinp.uous
of the prospect.
"It's bad enough here by the sea, but
St. Angele, with nothing but the big
woods to see bah !"
"It's all that Jloisvert," said Claphas
angrily. "Octave Lavoie, the navigator,
nays he has a wife and five children in
Lorette."
"It's false." snapped Angeline with
Cashing eyes.
The Notre Dame sailed at length for
Quebec; but the supreme coutent of f'la
jihas and the old Nadoaus was hut short
lived. Put a few weeks had passed when
nhe returned to her old moorings, laden
with wind-blown apple for sale or ex
change, with Poisvert, debonaire and cyn
ical as before, at his former post. Cup
tain Locke was In port at the time, ami
took an instant anil unconcealed dislike
to him. '
One dark fall night, while the hum of
a coming easterly wind was heard in the
tee wV'i o-eruuiij,' river, the Notre
Pa mo des Anges swung round to the cur
rent, and slipped out seaward, with Ange
line seated, scared, and already repentant,
on a cabin locker.
There was consternation in tho Nadeau
dwelling when the morning light revealed
an empty nest iu the old familiar attic,
from which she had never N-eti absent for
a night since her cradle had been imii
signed to the barn loft. She hid discard
ed hor despised house dres, of Mouse and
llannel kirtlo. woven by her own hands, of
striped purple and yellow. The sibot
sh.iped shoes had been tossed into a ivr
nor : all her newer belongings she had
taken with her: and the mot her ad--au

but a bi-weekly mail, by hors and ca
leche or sled, carried tidings of the out
side world. Once navigation Hosed, the
door was shut upon the dwellers in the
eastern hamlets bordering on the gulf. So
the snow fell in deep drifts, and the light
ers were pack-screwed high above the ice,
which rose and fell with the tides, their
masts looking ghostlike in the dark winter
nights. The once joyous fetes paused un
noticed by Pere Nadeau and his wife
Christmas, New Year's Pay and they
sat alone and silent, or went about their
daily tasks as best they might. Sometimes
the neighbors called, but while they spoke
of what was passing; of the cut of logs,
of the prospect of a good year's shipping
to come, of Angeline they spoke no word.
When the summer tides flowed blue and
sparkling once more, Claphns Ouellet, em
barking his winter's cut of cordwood on
the schooner of the navigator, Octave La
voie, sailed for Quebec, returning after
nil absence of a couple of weeks. lie
stepped into the Nadeau dwelling casually
on his return.
"Well, Claphas," said the old man iu
greeting, "your health Is good?"
"Yes, thanks."
"The cordwood sell well 7"
"Not bad. Twenty-five shillings."
"Sih anything of my girl 7"
"Yes."
"Is hhe well?"
"Yes. Works in a hotel,"
"Hotel? Not with him, then?"
"No. She left him quick. He had his
own wife and family, name as Octave
said."
"The accursed. Pidn't apeak of coming
back?"
"No. Well, I must go; the old mother
will lie anxious by now for me. If she
comes, you will send me word, eh?"
"Yes, we will send you word, Claphas."

At this age an appropriate present would

used by the Buffalo Pill riders. A pair

equal favor, and in the same category
comes a new fishing rod, snow shoes, ten
