Tho curious-ininded used some years ago to search for the quaint inscription that could be traced upon a mouldy stone in the ancient burying ground in old Lyme Regis, known in these later years as Lyme- .The memorial, when found, could be deciphered thus : This Deacon, aged 68, is freed on earth j from serving: May for j a crown no longer wait : J Lyme's Captain Renold Marvin Vet, according to the tale that mothers told daughters for many years more than a hundred, Captain Marvin found a crown whose gentle, blue-eyed wearer ruled him and his imperious will with the peaceful sceptre of love. and this is the tradition : j j There were the sounds of breaking branches and the tread of feet that seemed heavily weighted one after; noon or early beptember m the year 1700. These noises seemed to j be caused by some one laboring severely just within the wilderness that stretch ed far back into Conneticut colony from the shore of the sound . The man who heard these ominous sounds? peeped cautiously around for an in stant, and hv.n stared with wonder upon what vas revealed to him.

Then he strode across a, meadow, heavy with after math, mitil he reached a well sweep, whose bucket swung high in the air. With the strength tf one sinewy wrist, he poured the water, cool us a winter spring, upon his head, and with tHe other hand most energetically bathed his neck and face till the skin was al most as ruddy as the stains Ins late slaughter left upon hinw . f "There," said heat length ; "water for strong men, milk for-ba-bes, and rum for the weak and foolish."

He went over the slope whereon the well was and, just leyond, came upon a farm house whose lestn-toroof was was pitched against the little hill, so that, in coming down, he might have walked right up the roof to the ridge piece-.' He turned asklt?, however, anc stood ii pon the kitchen door sill, anJ then lie saw -the makr at her loora j though she saw him not. It seemed to please this strong man to look upon her, or upon her quick and graceful motion at the loom, though her face was hidden from him. Then, too, he saw and wondered why he never took heed o them before that two loug and truly braided braids of hair hung far below her waist, so that, a? she sat there at the loom, the nda of them seemed to rest upon the floor. That sight pleased him.too. Soon he . spoke, but the shuttle and the loom made a order noist than he so he advanced and touched her. She was not startled, thinking some in mate of the houue had summoned her. But when she saw this strong man ooking down upon her; she was con fused in an instant with, a jtleatiing confusion, and 1 then she rose and greeted him. , "Renold, you spoke not. Twas not seemly thus to startle me." "I spoke. You heard not. Truly I did." - "Why,whats happened to you! See, your garments are rent, and here.why, here there's blood, Renold, and these are half -washed stains upon your cheeks. Has there been trouble with the Indians 1 Are you hurt !" " 'Tis nothing. I, this morning, met the bear that's made havoc here and I killed him." "You, alone!" "Why not alone !" "Went you alone out to seek " "Yes, at dawn." " 'Twas foolish bravery. And you had a struggle ?" "Bears are not slaughteied like sheep, unyieldingly. I gave him my musket first and he came at me and gave him my knife at the heart. But, mistress, yon've been busy. Wove you this homespun this morning T" "Yes. Truly I did." " 'Tlx a fine pieee. There are no swifter nor truei fingers in all this colony than yours. What are you doing now !" ' She had bustled about and ' now brought him bread and cheese and great brown nut eakes, and she said : "Yon have eaten nothing. That I knoW. Eat this, and I will bring you milk." "You are a thousrhtful a maid, but bring no milk ; water for such as I." As he began to eat, she saw that the sleeve on his right arm was badly rent. She saw more, and, with a little ex clamation, grasped his arm. "You're nurt, Renold. The bear has bitten you. See, tho wound bleed." "Oh, 'tin only a scratch by his dawn. Let be- Let be, I say." "But I will not let be. Sit here." "Will not! None say solo me." "Nevertheless I say it. Sit there and let me stanch the flow. He looked curiously upon her, she glancing back, half pleading, half commanding, and, to his jrreat amaze ment, he found that he obejed her. She soon had the sleeve rolled up, and then the found two long, deep scratches from the elbow to the wrist. She bathed them gently, and as she did so he wondered how those small, gentle hands f hers eould hav so much of firmness in their touch. He smiled as he so thought, and he knew it. , - "You smile. Yet I know you suffer. Do I bungle so that you find mirth in my iotions !" o :: v . "No, Betty. 'Twas' for something else I smiled, if I did smile. I did thiuk 'Here this little maid hath me in her power; yet with my thumb and finger thus I might erush you, so slight and tender are you.' - ' "In my power f" said the maid, inquiringly, as she bound a linen bandage on the wound. "Aye. You fompelled me to obey you.7 "Why not ? Brave-men like you are worth the effort of compelling." :- "IV, there, Betty.

You should give the wound some chance to heal." "But I am going." "No. I w'll not suffei it. i' You will not ! You !" He laughed almost contemptuously. , She said no more, but when his eyes were not upon her she silently with drew, A brief time later he heard horse approaching, and from the window he saw Betty Lee, seated firmly on a sheep's pelt that served for a saddle, and, with her red lips partly parted and a saucy smile in her blue eyes, she said : "Rest you there, Renold, till I re turn. I am going to the settlement for you;" and, with a word to the mare, she flew away. "That miid hath spirit," mused the discomfited captain, "slight though she be, and she rides her mare as no woman ever rode. But what ! What am I f Here I am aeain overpowered by her. I slew a ferocious beast this morning, aud yet this little child restrains me. 'Tis stranere. but 'tis rather pleasing to be commanded by her I do not seem to rebel. But no more of that today, no more." When the fair Betty came slowly riding back a half hour later, she looked demurely upon him with her blue eves.as he Dut out his hand for a stepping stone, and thus on one hand bore her like a trifle from the saddle to the ground. "The men will come at once," she she said. He made no reply,' but led the mare to the shed and then strode away with mighty steps; and when she saw him later, he was with imperious tones commanding the men to carry a bear's haunch' to the old fort at Say- brook Point, and the msa obeyed him. too." For many days Betty saw Renold no more, except in his solitary seat at the meeting-house upon the Lord's day. But one day she perceived him from her ehamber window, making his way toward the well that be might drink, Verj demurely Betty threw a hood about her fair head, and with a bucket and downcast eyes went to the well heiself. He had the bueket to hu lips and heard her not, so that she ktood within hand's reach of him, be not knowine it. Whea he lowered the bucket she spokv. "You will fill it again for me, and I will thank you Renold." tie turned surprised, and tor a moment looked in silence upon her, his body towering great and mighty above her slender, graceful figure. "You came so still," ho said-, at length. "As you came when last I saw you." "Would vou try to frighten me child!" , "Nay, no one ever made you know what fear was, Renold. TheD how could I ! Yet perhaps you fear me." "Why say you that !" "You used to Come once in a while to see my father." Now you come not at all. You may come, Rendld. I will leave the room to you, if I alarm you." "'Twas in my heart to come, but in mv resolution to come not; so l came not.'' "Why, Renold ?" "Truly, I know not. 'Tis pain to keep away, yet I will not come," "How are your waunds, Renold t" "Well, thauks to you. Sometimes I seem to feel your touch upon my arm. 'Tis - pleasant. But I must go now, Betty." "Whither, Renold?" "To capture a rascally Indian, a dangerous fellow, who. doth terrify our people; and they fear him. But I will take him, or he will take my scalp." She put her bucket down and came forward, laying her baud upon his arm, and looked upom him pleadirg- y. Uo you olone, Kenoia t" "Aye, why not !" "'Tis very brave, I know, but 'tis dangerous. Do not go alone." "But 1 will. The Aiord hath com manded me to capture him." "But not alone. 1 on shall not go alone." -"I shall not. Humpli-! Who will pre vail against me !" 'I will. Come, Renold, promise me to call your company and select from them some sturdy men; then I will let you go." . "That is nonsense! Come; delay me not."

Then he said : "I would I had not met you." "Why Renold f" "Because of your constraint of me I hate it, yet f like it. Truly I do. I lie not, Betty. And there's the mys tery f of it. . I hate it, yet I like it. Commit shall b as you say, I w,iU take companions." "Then I will leave you. You never fail to keep your promise." When next she saw him he was re turning with a captive, a strong aud treacherous savage, whom the com panions said the captain had mastered single-handed. Then many weeks passed till it was the dead of winter, and she knew that US avoided her. One Sunday, after service, he found her by chance as it seemed, right in his path. "The Lord be with you Betty," he said, and, then passed on. "Renold ! Renold !" she called gent ly. "You spoke Betty !" "My father is ill, and desires above all thing: to see you. Will you not come to-night ! You will find him alone." "If 'tis to see him, so be it Betty." When, on that evening he had spent an hour with Father Lee, the old man said, "Renold, the maid hath a sweet voice, and on the Lord's day night she reads the Scripture to me. Stay you and hear her." Then Capt. Marvin, much us he wish ed to go, wished more to stay, and while thus Ktruggling with himself in unaccustomed hesitancy, the father called the girl. She came, just court- esying with iudifference that pained Renold. Then, when her father asked her to ie&d. she took tie great Bible -in her lap, bent her fair head over its pages, and .began, in soft but clearest tones to read the tale of Ruth. As she read on Captain Marvin forgot himself and air save this sacred tale so sweetly and effectively repeated by the gentle maid. She paused not till she had finished. Then she rose, bade them good night and was about to go. bray, ttetty," he said. "AiCt mo thank you. Never was sweeter to mance written; but never before knew I that till udw."

I thiuk he must have been somewhat like'nnto you, Renold; and now, good night." "Stay Betty. The hour is early yet." "May, i thmk 'us well l Did you She opened the door, behind which were abrupt oaken stairs that led almost perpendicularly to her little chamber under the rafters,? and, with one foot on the lowest step, she turned her head, looking over her shoulder to say good night "No, but you must not go," said he, and he arose and went to detain her, seizing her by the hand. 1? hen for an instant the maid struggled, and some how, by chance it deemed, in the dura tion of 'he struggle the maid became embraced by his strong arm, so that he perceived the exceeding' suppleness of her slight figure; and, as her fair head for the time Of one breath rested upon his broad chest, and he caught the glance, half modest, half amused, from her uplifted eyes, then the strength he gloried in seemed to de part from him, aid the maid, slipping gracefully, quickly from his detaining grasp, ueo up the siairway The man stood there a moment like I one bewildered, and then he beard the father laughing heartily.
