“f6 T is disgrace-
///’ ful!” cried Ger-
trude Foster,
passionately.
'_ ,r “That is a.
fact," returned her brother, coolly,
“but what are you going to do about
it?”
The young man was lying in a ham-
mock, swung at the end of the piazza;
his sister was seated near him, in a
rocking-chair, which she kept in vigor-
. t-us motion, as though thereby- trying
to accentuate her remarks concerning
the letter she held in her hand.
A boy, about sixteen years of age,
was lounging on the steps. with a novel
before him, but the contents of that
epistle had apparently taken- away his
interest in the story, for he was not
reading. '
“You surely are not surprised, Ger-
trude,” continued the occupant of the
hammock. “I have been noticing for
some time the care father took in
. his toilet, ’when he went out on busi-
ness. Business!” laughing derisively;
_ “my stern parent never fooled me
I thought he was going a-woo- _
much.
“ltut an old maid, Jim!” said his sis-
ter. “A woman probably full of freaks
and fancies. It is all very well for you
and Harold, but 1 have to be with her,
at home, all the time.” ’
“Only three months, my dear,” re
turned Jim. “Remember ‘ my future
brother-in-law comes home today, and
that you will soon be a blushing
bride. Rather a bad day for his re-
turn, though,” he added, looking over
the hammock at the landscape before
him, half hidden by the heavy veil of
rain. “I do not think I ever knew it
to pour harder.”
“Yes,” assented Gertrude, medita-
tively. “That is my one consolation.
If it were not for Dick, I would go out
and hunt for the position of a governess
to-morrow—”
(“I'Vhich you would be quite incapa-
ble of filling,” interpolated her brother,
sotto voce.)
“For I haven’t the patience to put up
with an old maid’s quips and cranks."
“l’shaw!” said Harold, who had not
yet spoken, “I think an old maid far
preferable to a widow. She will prob.
ably be so grateful to father for marry-
ing her that she will behave very de‘
cently. Generally an old maid’s chief
fault is romancing about her former of-
fcrs, and Mrs. Foster will probably not
do that, now she has really had one.”
“That is so,” chimed in Jim. “Where-
as a widow is always resurrecting her
dear defunct, whenever his substitute
does anything to displease her. Oh!
undoubtedly, things might be worse."
“ch.” reyrned Gertrude, “but how
can a. man with a heart fall in love
again so soon. anyway?”
“Maybe she was his first love, from
whom he was separated by a misunder-
standing,” said Harold, putting his
hand over his heart sentimentally.
“Hello! The rain has stopped—and
there comes a livery stable carriage.
How dramatic! Rain stops. Enter
hero! Come along, Jim, we would not
be here to embarrass the greetings of
two young and loving hearts.” He dis-
appeared through the door while Jim
slowly followed, in his lazy, languid
way, saying: “Tell Dick I will see him
at supper.”
By this time the carriage had en-
tered the gates and was coming rapidly '
up the long avenue that led to the
house. The Fosters prided themselves
on their well-kept grounds, especially
the drive from the lodge ‘gate to the
house, which was bordered on either
side by maple trees.
They gave a delightful shade during
the summer months, and their gorgeous .

But neither Richard nor Gertrude
thOught of the maples ashe was driv-
ing under them that afternoon, He
had been abroad two years his bnly
thought was that, at last. he was really
to be with his fiancee once more, while
she forgot her father’s second marriage
in the Joy of seeing her lover again.
But, after they had been together an
hour or two, Gertrude remembered the
letter, and her face fell.
“Oh, Dick!” she said, “father is
married again. I received a note just
a. few minutes before you came, telling
me about it. He said he should be
home in a few days, and wanted me to
have everything done to make her
home-coming pleasant. ”
Dick looked grave—then replied:
"Well, it will be only for a little time,
but,":cheerfully, “I will take you away,
right off, if you like.”
Gertrude laughed. “Oh! I guess I can
support her presence a few weeks,‘but
isn’t it dreadful—for a man to get mar-
ried a second time?”
“Awful,” he returned, with convic-
tion. Then, after asecond’s pause: “I
mean as a rule; of course there are ex-
ceptio nal cases. That reminds me,” he
added, “you have heard me speak of
my Aunt Marion?”
“The aunt who, you say, has re-
deemed the race of old maids in your
estimation?” asked Gertrude.
“The same,” he answered. “Well,
mother wrote me some time ago that
she was going to be married. I sup-
pose I shall hear all about it to-night,
when I go home. You know,” he con-
tinued, “a great many years ago Aunt
Marion fell in love. She was boarding
in the country at the time, and. al-
though he reciprocated her-affection,
they had not confessed their mutual
attachment, when her dearest friend
came to board at the same place. This
young lady also was fascinated by the
same gentleman. and began to think
how-she .could_.supplant ms; aunt in
his estimation. She had recourse to
strategy; told numberless falsehoods to
both of them, and managed, in a short
space of time, to provoke a quarrel be-
tween them.
“Aunt Marion was very proud and
sensitive, sought no explanation from
her whilom admirer, trusted her friend,
and lost her lover.
“In a year or two she heard of their
marriage, which opened her eyes a lit-
tle, and caused the girlish friendship
to be broken off. Two years ago she
received a letter from this woman,
who, it seems, was dying, confessing
the whole truth. She also left an ex-
planation for her husband, which he

awhile, Aunt Marion acceded to

to be allowed to call—and in a
few months they were engaged. I

did not really love her, for his wife

first love, and only married her in grat-
itude for the sympathy and tenderness
she showed when telling how my aunt
had deceived him. I think,” continued
Richard, “that I would never have.‘

'her place.
But I suppose the voice of
conscience gets very loud in the ‘_;p'r_es-
ence of death. It was a tardy repara-
tion. though.” ' " _, '
“Dick, what is your aunt's name?"
asked Gertrude, abruptly. ‘ 1'
“Why the same as my mother’s,” he
answered, somewhat astonished at the
question; “Moore. Marion Moore.
Pretty name, .isn’t it?” he added. “Too
pretty to change, I think. Why, Gertie,
what is the matter?” ,. _..

an effort to recover'her' self-possession,

“Here is my letter; you can read for

saw there was no mistake and won-
dered how in the. world he could recall
his words. . ',
“I am sorry, ,ertie,” he said, at last.

—-}1er friend. Just forget all about it,
Gertie.”
Gertie was weeping as if her heart
would break, but as he finished speak-
ing she handed him her ring without
looking up.
“What is that for?” asked Richard,
aghast. “I did not mean to hurt you;
surely, you are not going to punish me
like that, when I offended so uninten—
tionally?” _
“No," sobbed Gertrude, “it isn’t that,
only I shouldn’t think you would want
to marry the daughter of such a.
mother.”
Richard laughed, as he took the ring
and placed it on Gertrude’s finger
again. '
“What a silly child you are!” he said
fondly. "It wouldn’t make any differ-
ence to me if every relative you had
was in the penitentiary. You would
!not be responsible for their sins. Be-
sides..l_‘amm..reer potter thought
I dare. say I exaggerated. I.
sue nad every right to try and win your
father. He was not engaged to my
aunt, you know, and, they say, all is
fair 'in love and wan. So think no more
about it—and We will never mention it
again. " . '
Gertrude never did mention it again,
but she thought about it many times;
and when Mr. Foster brought his wife
home, he found everything arranged to
his liking. .
He had said to her: “The boys will
be all right, and if Gertrude does not
treat you well let me know.”
“N ever, J ames,” replied Mrs. Foster,
“for you might be tempted to tell her
. the history of the years that are gone,
and children should reverence their
mother’s memory, which I doubt if she
could do, knowing all.”
But there was no trouble. Gertrude
treated her stepmother with the utmost
respect and courtesy, and behaved in
such a. way that Mrs. Foster actually
‘dreaded the girl’s wedding day.
As she watched the carriage that con-
tained her nephew and his bride drive
down the maple avenue, now re-
splendent in its autumnal coloring, she
sighed—then turned toward her hus~
band, who was standing near. “I
never thought to have loved - Louisa's
child so well,” she said.

NOT ALL PLEASURE.
Even the Sport of Yachting Has
Its Drawbacks.
There Is No Place So Hot as a Ship's
Deck and Nothing So Exasper-
ating as an .Inexpe-
rienced Crew.
One commonly thinks of yachting as
the most delightful of summer pas-
times, says the Boston Transcript, and
the very word calls up visions of a
“wet sheet, and a flowing sea, and a
wind that follows fast,” smells of salt
things, and whistlings through the
rigging, blue sky, 'white caps, driving
clouds and all that sort of thing, to say
nothing of the possibilities of delight-
ful companionship and the delicious
unconventionality of meeting one’s
fellow men and women with all the
formality and restraints of on-shore
life thrown off; no making talk or any-
thingof that ‘kind,'but knocking about
carelessly and easily in flannel suits
‘and having “a real good time.” Or,
"again, racing, with all its excitements,
and cruising, with all of its possibili;
ties of adventure, to Bar Harbor. Such
is the popular and accepted view ‘of
yachting, but there is another and
gloomy side to the picture which the
writer, who is. sometimes inclined to
growl, can set forth clearly in three
distinct statements, with an open chal-
lenge to contradiction—first, that to
“go and take a sail” in a small boat
belonging’to some one else and to sail
aimleSSly about on the open sea is “an
awful bore;” secondly, that to go as
“amateur. crew” on a rowing yacht
under sixty , feet long is .not only a
xbore, but a hardship, and on yachts
over sixty feet in length it is not cus-
tomary to have an'v~“amateur crew,"
unless an Occasional and almost always '
useless passenger can be considered
such; 'and, lastly, that cruising is a
' lottery absolutely dependent on the
stems and. '
weather. Fog's, calms,
head winds are quite as usual as free
winds and sunshine. , .
' Observethat nothing has beensaid
‘about seasickness, which makes yacht-
ing impossible to so many.
There is no place on earth where the
sun can strike down out of the sky and
bleach and blister and sizzle as it can
upon a yacht’s deck. There is no place
that can be hotter or- more stuffy or
more uncomfortable than a yacht’s
cabin on a hot day, when there is no
wind or when the wind is deadaft, and
when it is rough, and the water is driv-
ing across the yacht’s deck in a sheet of
white foam, and the crew are all hud-
dled behind the shrouds, intmwhich
~old oil skins have been stuffed to make
a screen and the man at the wheel has
life lines running from the main sheet
to the main shrouds on either side of
him to keep him f1 om being washed
overboard, and the oil bags are hung to
windward to keep the water from
breaking, 'and the fire is out in the
galley, and the cook has been scalded
by the soup stock .jumping out of the
boiler, and the barometer is dropping
like mad. and the skylight leaks so
that every wave which comes aboard
sends bucketfuls of swash down into
the cabin, and when every now and
then a wave comes aboard and pounds
down on her deck like a load of pig
iron, and those below are shaken about
like corn in a popper, and those on
deck simply hold on and duck their
heads—when such is the condition of
aflairs yachting would not be consid-
ered a pastime.
The delights of being “amateur
crew” can be briefly summed up. They
consist in lying flat on your face either
in a hot sun or a pouring rain, and if
you turn over having the owner shout
at you: “Keep still! Do you think
that you’re a wild elephant? You
jarred her all over that time.” Further-
'more, all yachts are not rigged alike,
and if the amateur crew is told at a
critical point in the race—say just 'be-
fore rounding the leeward mark—to
let, go the spinnaker halyards‘ and let
the balloon jib halyards go instead. so
“that the whole sail goes over to lee-
Ward, the. remarks which will’be made
to him will be “unfit for pulfiication."
