It was a problem over which 1 puzicJ lonij, for as )on may Lae suspecti'd, I ratlier enjoyed in terustitii; myself iu the liu.iue of othci people. Miss Hexfoid was somelhi, j ,)f a riddle to me, however. In all Ihe four years that I had known her, it was only ilurin.; a storm ou the const Unit that straiix-', iil X unhappy ;look would come into Iter face; tn..l Anally I mmle up my mind that It win because of some un pleasant memory possi'dy an unlucky love affair, which would account for her n-fiua! of one eligible man ufler niiollirr until "lot bad (.titled the reputation of beiu; hcntless. She had refused Austin Wilder the year before, nn I he, poor fellow, had lacked tho stamina to leave her, but followed lir liloi a dug every where, mull I think al tidies she pos lively de plsed him. Yet he was grateful for a pleas ant word, so pleased when she ne.cpled a tlow er from him, that it senHed ru le and unkind to Ireat him coldly. Toward night Mrs. ItruivutH cwif l"l the sitting-room with Hie no vath.it a wssel had broken up ou the rocks at n,B 0i,..r side of the point, and soum of the llstt.-nneu were bring a man who was washed iisho-e, Ui across the marshes to the house. In a tnouient our quid pirty was tilled wuh i xntnueut. A coll. h with blankets and hot biiek was d'liwti u,' before the lire, and Mrs. Ilrownell ran f ir her Ctraphor bottle while Ju i, ,.t brought out t stnull flask of French brandy. When the ra.ui was brought in Kate ltcxfurd, stamllnir beside m, uttered a half-re-pressed cry. 1 knew by her countetum u that she had ecu thejiunti before, lie lav dead weight In the arms ot the stalwart ,hei mcu-a uiaguifl centlybuilt mauof tUirl y, pethaps. Ills blue sailor's blouse was open at th throat; a heavy rumtscho and a short, pointed beard covered mouth and chin; his wa( ilark and sun burnt; the lashes of his clone, sj'es were thick and black, the brows straight and heavy; the broad white forehead looking whiler by contrsst with the brown cheek, was half covered by the damp, dark curls which dung close abust It. lit an hour's time our shipwrecked stranger was able to walk. He gave his name as Mur Joi'k; captain f the ship which lts.il gone to pieces that night, lie aui I. Miss Hef.ini was not In the room when he recovered eons lousness. I'liey did not meet until the following morn ui.', and thin Ctptain Murdock started, smiled, looked st her half wistfully. But my lady irc.ited him with supreme Indifference, as if he were what the others supposed ltlru to be, a i ranger. For thr.o days the storm continued and Captain Murdock was kept a prisoner with ns. Cor lliree days Kilo Krxfor.l acted like one possessed Sue lifted Au.tiii Wilder into the seventh heaven of happinoss, she flirted wilh llert Shrffli'l'l and K I Landers, she played uidn-aod-seek with little Flossie Porter, and told stones lo Augie and the Dayton girls, and ciptlvuleil Mrs. llrowuell't heart by washing dishes Willi her dainty white lingers. Hut to Cap'ain Murdock shti wa told, and liuiighly, and overbearing. It did seem as though Kate Iievford, so rich a worldly farms, might have vouch-safed one ittle kindly wind or look to this courteous and lainlsimie sailor, whose slay was so short; but lie did not; and the man submitted to her ivu'iiii'iit with a grave dignity and only an c 'iis'mnal ll.isli in his dark hazel eyes, us they sled for an Instant now ami thcu upon her ively face. On tlie thir day tlie storm ceased, the gray 'otitis wend drifting away to the southern ho izon, and Ihe s'ln gave us a goodnight smile the sank to rest in a clear western sky. I s In the sitting-room nlotie. Most of the icrs had gone trooping down to the shore, liss ttexford, wrapped in a lleecy while wl, was promenading tho veranda, where was presently joined by Captain Mur k. You need not turn from me, .Miss Hex 111," he said, in a low, Intense toicc. "1 tiy appreciate the difference lu our social po ins. Yet, remembering that 1 sated your live years aga, I will claim tho privilege- ot ling you farewell. I um going away to now. 1 hope to heaven 1 miy netcr look hi your lovely, cruel face again.

I! ere was an instant's pause, and then came a 1st, pitiful, tender cry from beautiful Kate Ketfird. toel !" rite had turned toward him with oil t strillietl hands, her faco stilluscd wilh blushes andleurs In her lovely eyes, T, imxt moment .Murdock hud folded her elosito his heart, and she was sobbing out an nn oiiv.it story in his mnis. "Of. Noel you were so blind. How could I speL have loved you so long, but you were proud prou ler, my sailor, than I ever ilreainll uf being. I hated injself for loving you 8 whnn I had no power to win a word from J;ii. Oh, Noel, whenever there is a storm Oi the sen it all comes back lo mo that horrid J I blessed night, when our little boat went dating on the rock, and I was borue islnue it your dear, strong arms." Well iere, they went on In that fashion for some tie, and my spectacles were wet with tears jus): because of looking at them.

"Why, what b tho matter with your pa's legs. Has U got the rheiimatig?" "Wuss nor rhiimaliz," said the buy, as he threw u war the cigar stub and drew some ciderjti a broken tea cup. "I'a has got thelworst looking hind legs you ever eW, You see since there has been sol many fires pa has got awful seared ud he has bought three liro escapes made out of ropes with knots in 1 ti r r! 1 . and he has been telling us evwrr thv Imw hu could res cue the win '! fauiiiy in the case of lire.

Nell lastingiit ma l ad lo go to one of the neighbors- when' lliey wi.'re going to have twiin, nnd we didn't, sloep in uel:, cause 111:1 had lo come hiftne twice to get sail .'on and an old petti coat that I was In.ilii' in when I was a kid, eausv the people whet'.) ma went did not know as twins was ou the bill of fare, 11 nil thev only had llatinel pet ticoats for one.

Well jia he got to fIci j and he slept till about eight oVliiuk tn the morning nnd the blinds were eli sed and it was dark in his room, and 1 hud wai' 'l lor my breakfast until I was hue;," as a wolf, and the hired girl tnl tne to wake pa up, so 1 went tip lairs ; and I don'i know what made '""' think ol it, but 1 had snme of llijpowdor what they make red lire wit in tbc theatre, (Ii n't ine and my flint' hl 011 ihe 4lh of duly and I put it in a vasli dish iu the lia'lh room ain) tonehcl ii oil' and hollowed lire.

I tried to say sonic ibing, but pa run over 1111 and t dd me to save luyselt, and I 'lit lo the back windowsto tell him Here was no lire just as he let himself nil ol the window, lie had one eiiilj ul the rope tied to the leg of the watisland and he was climbing down th( back side of the shed by the kitchen, vith noth ing on but his night shin aid hu vus the horriblest looking obju tcver was, wilh his legs llying and he van Irving to stiek his toe nail in the iipeaud in the side of the house. I tlot't think a man looks well iu society witi nothing on but his night shirt. I didi'l blame the hired yirls for being; seai'd when they saw pa and his legs cone down outside the window, and wion thev veiled I went down to the kiuhen, and thev said a erazv 111:111 with tiitliioo 00 but a pillow ease around his ieik was trying to kick the window in, and they run in tht! parlor, and I opmcd the door and let pa in the kitclen. lie asked tne if any body else v;8 saved, and then I told him there was no lire and he must have dreamed hi was in hell or somewhere. Well pa was as tonished and must be wr.m iu the head, and I left him thawing himself by the stove and I went after lis pants, and his legs was badly chilled, but I guess nothing was froze. 1 Ho lays it all to m.i, and savs if she would stay ut homo ami 1ft people run their own baby shows thei! would bit more coin foil in the house. Ma came in with a shawl over her bead, a bowl of something that smelt frowy, and tiller she hud told tho lesul.of her visit she sent, mo alter vasaline to rub pa's legs. I'a says he has dcinmsl ra ted that if a man is cool and co lecied, in ease of lire and goes deliberately at work to save himself, he will come out all right at last." "Well you are the meanest boy 1 ever heard of," said the grocery man. "But what about, your pa's dancing clog dance in church last Sunday. The minister's hired frirl was in here after some cod fish yesterday morning ami site sanl your pa had seandilizeii tlie church the worst way." "Oh, be didn't dance in church. He was a little excited that's all. Yon see pa chews tobacco and it is pretty hard on him to sit all tlirous'h tho see inoti without taking a chew and he gets nervous. He always reaches around in bis pistol pocket, when they stan. I up to sniir tlie last lime, ami Icel iu his tobacco box and gels out a chew, and puis it iu his mouth, when the min ister pronounces the beiiedielion and then when they get out of doors he is already lo spit, . lie always loes that. Well, my chum bad a present on Christmas of a music, box just as big as pa's tobacco box and all you have to do is to touch a spring, and it plays "Mie s a Daisy, hue s a JHunpling. I borrowed it and put it in pa's pis tol pocket where he keeps his tobacco box, and when the choir got most through singing pa reached his hand in his pocket and began to fumble around for a chew. He tone ted the spring nnd just as everybody itowed their heads to re ceive the benediction, and it was so still you could hear a gum drop, the niusii! began to play and in the still ness it sounded as loud as a church or gan. I thought ma would sink, The min ister heard it, and be looked towards pu, and every body looked at pa. The music kept up, ".'she a daisy," and the minister looked mad aud said amen, and tin people began to put on their coals, and the minister told the deacon to hunt, up the source of the worldly music, and they took pi into the room back of the pulpit and soarcbed him, aud ma says pa will be churched. They kept, the music box, nnd I have got to carry iu coal to get money enough to buy my chum a new music box. Well I shall h ive to go find get the vaseline, or nil's letr will Stiller. Good day."
