gurdenin. I shall noveriove him. I love
some one else, and some one else loves
me. A few houru ago Mr. Rogers asked
my story.
I was leaning over the side of the
bout watching the glorious effects of the
moon on the dark waters, when he came
up behind me. I had a white dress on.
I looked up at him as he stood near,
and he was looking down at. me with u
look I hud never seen befoae in any
man’s eyes. Such a world of love was
thcro,und all for me. It well worth living

I tore myself away and told him as

“I ought to have told you before,” I
cried over and over. “lint, oh, don’t;
you understand how hard it woe? I
thought you would think me such a
dreadful girl to marry a. man I had
never seen. "
“I don’t, door," he said very grove-

will find ull will go well. ”
”You are heartless. "’ I cried despair-
ingly. "You don’t care a bit. You. are
not one bit unhappy.”
“My Bertha, it is everything to me
to know you love me. I don"t think I
shall ever be unhappy again.”
“You are cruel, heartless, wicked,"
- I cried. “I won't listen any more-fl?

I went on (lock this morning and found
everything in a bustle und burly every
one bud gonc on shore. Iwuited behind
purposely. The captain came up and
naked me whether I could see my friends
anywhere about.
“No," I answered miserably.
Ho said he was sorry to see me look-
ing so pole. “The gentleman who is to
meet me is tall and clean church and
will wcur a white gurdcniu,” I began.
“Here we are then,” interrupted the
ouptuin, and I felt rather than now that
some one was; approaching. My knees
wore trembling. I thoughtl should fall.
I couldn't raise my eyes until suddenly
it drop voice that I knew—uh, yes, and
loved, too-spoko:
“Misc Curr, I think?”
Slurtlcd, I looked up. The captain
bud been called away, and I stood face

“What does it mean?" I gasped.
“It means, my darling. that I am

“Are you still afraid of the risk, my
Bertha?"
"There will be no risk,” I murmur-
ed. “My life will be all sunshine. "
“And if not,” he broke in gently,
“our love will help us through the
