distinctly disapproving glance.
“No, no,Phil,” returned his uncle,
indulgently reproving, in that mellow
mm which was one of his charms;
"first or all she in your mother, and
after that an individual."
"Thank you for saying that, Mr. Van
Dyna," said Janet, to whom the word
"mother” brought back a and, sweet

,Tho conversation took place on board
the Tom'Jones, a dingy little steamboat
that plied between a southern city and
an island of the gulf. They were now
waiting to adect their entrance through
a canal dock, and the pause was a ted!
one one, with not a ghost of a breeze
blowing. and nothing to he soon t a
few gaping bystanders on the bank. and
the sprightly fiddler crabs scrambling
about in the mud.
“If this is a forotaste of the joys to
mine," sighed Janet. “what a happy
(orlnight we shall have!"
“Now. my dear child," urged her {a
thor, “donft make up your mind bolero-
hand to dislike the place."
"You see," said Janet, taming to Mr.
Van Dyue, “papa has always repre-
sented the island as asort of earthly
paradise, and us this in the first time i
have ever consented to visit it he feels
personally responsible."
“It is a jolly sort of place when you
got used to it,"atruck in Phil. “Not
very exciting; but you can do pretty
much as you please there—wear old
clothes and he an nnconveutionnlv—nnd
an selfish-ms you like."
“That is not my idea of bliss,” retort
ed Janet.
“Whatever else the place lacks," said
Mr. Van Dyue, “the air is delicious. It
makes one too! young and strong, capo
bio of any exertion."
By this time the tiresome wait was
ended. and. the Tom Jones was [tuning
and snorting its way between the bunks
of the narrow canal: into the bayou.

Thu sky had hum growing darker. and
now a sudden squall arose, with sheets
of rain and a wild wind.
"i trust this will grow no worse,”
said Mr. Van Dyne. unoaeily. “Are
you culturing any inconvenience from

”Not at all; only i wish papa would
