tlsniiicting iselinn tore my heart
With over swifteuing pace,
New happiest of earthly men.
New meanest n! my race.
i loved her true with all my heart
And sought to pave the way
To settle all my revered dduhts
And have her name the day.
I asked her it she loved me,
At least a score of times.
She answered ”No" to every one
By word. note, prose sad rhymes.
But yet the way she said it
. Left. hops within my beam.
And hope will hold a lover
Nor permit him to depart.
I said one day, “I love you.
Yes, I love you more and more!”
She blushed and smiled. ”Why. did you
not
Tell me of that before?"

A BACKWOODS HERO.
Upon the northern shore of Lake Su-
perior, smuggled in between sun tipped
hills, is a small village known best for
its lumbering and shipping industries.
A long neck of narrow land forms a
natural breakwater and thus guards and
protects the small town item N eptune’s
wrath. The harbor is scarcely more than
two miles wide and four long, but is
celebrated for its uncontrollable cur
rents, jagged hidden rocks and Aprilish
moods.
On this neck of land are scattered a
few houses, all inhabited by lovers of
the sea and naturals work and surround-
ed by dense groves of swaying pines.
One day a few years ago there came
from one of these houses a dark eyed
young woman whose skin was rough-
ened from the fierce lake winds and
whose hands showed only too plainly
that hard, coarse work befall her lot.
Her boots were heavy, like those of a
man. Hci' gown was not only ill fitting,
but sadly behind the times as regards
style and lacking by several inches its
proper length. and on her head was
drawn 'down closely over her cars a
man’s felt hat. Yet, notwithstanding
these proofs of tho' uncouth woman,
there Was a certain indescribable some-
thing about her gypsyliko face that be-
told the possession of a fine mind and a
strong, unbcnding character. It was
neither the soft brown eyes nor the
smiling mouth, for her features were ex-
tremely plain, and the straight fringe
of hair that tondrilcd out now and then
from under the curved hat brim gave the
round checks a ghastlincss that remind
ed ono shiveriugly of witches and gob~
line and evil spirits. In her nrins she
carried a pair of ours, wrapped in a
small sail. Around her feet frolickcd
several kittens, and a huge black and
white. dog boundul along beside her.
She walked slowly toward a snxall
dock that floated nnsroadily out into the
buy. A flat bottomed boat, with it splin-
terliko mast and no bowsprit, bumped
against the dock now and then with a
soft rubbing and nudging that was as
soothing as a umtln-r’s evening lullaby.
“it looks pretty threatening, seems to
me, " the girl murmured to herself.
“This hero bay is always ready to out
up its monkey shines just when folks
wants it to behave itself. If it wasn't
for daddy coming home tonight, and
mother sick, and nothing much to eat in
the house, l lxolu-vo l'd giro up going
across for the nrm't-rics. " Thou, notic-
ing a parting of tho thick bushes that
bordered the pathway npd catching a
passing glimpse of a faded yellow hat,
she. called out, ”lll'llfl, Jim!"
Tho next moment. she was joined by
a stalwart young man, with tho windo-
some appearance of acomhluotiou farin-
cr and sailor. ‘
“lining to sail liver to the point,
Meg?" ho risked.
“Yes. You can go if you want to,"
she replied, with mischicvous eyes and
twitching lips. “I guess 'twon‘t lm. tho
first limo that tho littlo dory has carried
two passengers. "
“We'd hotter hurry, I reckon," rc-
joincd Jim. “The old luko is wringing.
and tho hay looks a hit ill l'opcrml
now. Wo'll haven mundcriugold storm
before noxt sunrise, and lshouldu't liu
surprised if it arrived ls-foro midnight. "
Together they hoisted the sail, adjust»
ed tho rudder and nufastcnod tho linrs.
Jim scaled himself in the stern, Ills-g
dropped down on the scat in the (motor
of tho boat on as to lower and misc tlu-
mutton-hoard, as (faptnin Jim ordered,
and oil they sailed like a bird let loose
from captivity. lioth were good sailors,
and tho simple fact that a lingo warn
deluged them now and then added zest
to tho swirl.
“I say, Meg,” begun .lim as they
plunged through towors of foam and
rmkmi and swayed in the billows,

wailing business. ”
“i suppose my reasons are silly,"
Meg answurod slowly and with irritating
deliberation. “But, you see, that year
at Miss Banker's spoiled me. Even if I
was nothing but a parlor mold, I got
some ideas in my head that stick like so
many bars. 1 don't always want to
live this way. l’ve spent every cent I've
had on the hooks, and Miss Banker has
helped me lots. 1 want to be educated

or. and the third raised thc small sail
‘ until it stood round and erect like a fun-
nel shaped cone of white canvas.
A queer grating sound beneath, a
crackling of wood and iron and stone,
and the rudder was wrenched from
Jim's hand. . Words were not necessary
just then. Each realized that they two
were being toyed with and tossed mend
like helpless straws. The sail was un-
manageable, and the lost rudder. left
them entirely at the mercy of the wind
and waves.
‘fCome here with me!” Jim cried
hoerssly as he reached for the shivering
bundle with the dying hair and fright-
ened eyes. He drew Meg toward him.
all the time keeping a firm hold on the
line that prevented the sell from flap-
ping more desperately.
Above the roar of the water he heard
her nervous laugh, and once she said,
“I think I'd be right scared if it wasn’t
for our getting caught in these squalls
so often. "
The boat was caresniug like a live
creature matldened with pain. The wa-
ter dashed over the little dory that was
scudding toward the shore at an unprec-
edented speed. Crowds of curious
watchers lined the beach where they
would land. As they neared the shore
Jim said tremblingly: ”This is the
worst fix We've been in yet. We'll be
dashed to pieces on the logs unless they
try to help us. " -
He folded his strong arms around the
small girl, and be pressed her hands
fondly and whispered words of hope and
courage. -
“Tell me just once that you do care
for me just a little bit, and that you
won't back out of marrying me at the
end of three years," he said. “Our
chances for getting out of this alive are
few, and .I know if you don't answer
now you nevur will. Please, «please,
please, Mogl” His voice was pitched
loudly and shrilly.
“I can't promise for sure, Jim. I
can’t even now. I‘m so frightened. I
know we’re both going to die. The
waves never scared me before. " And
the rest was lost as an enormous roll of
water deluged thorn.
No other word was said. A moment
later there was a wild crashing and
creaking of timber.
Tho anxious watchers saw the boat
tossml in among a nest of logs that lined
the beach.
Like a crowd of stupid, senseless be-
ings, they gazed and wrung their hands.
Then they saw a tall form misc itself
up in tho stern of the boat. llc had
something in his arms that looked like

had nearly reached the shore when an

Womanly Kindness.
She was a fashionable woman at a faith

sort of a man for a husband, who staid at
home making the money necessary for her
to splurge on. There was plenty of it. and
she cut a swath so wide that it provoked
the envy and adverse criticism of her less
fortunate sisters, the more so as time
went by and the husband never put in an
appearance. One day one of those tin.

went after the ilinger.
“What do you moan by talking about
