Gravely ana unaffectedly, in her ignorance of the sneered -at existence of hineeetockingism, 6he gave him cer- tain iettreed statements and statistics. -quite correctly too-coneerning some of the things which surrounded her daily life -the depth of water in the offing, the height of the cliffs and their gigantic formation ,the force and pre- valence of the winds, and the where- abouts of sunken reale and rocks and dangerous bars. "I hear my father and the men talk- ing, you know," she explained; "and then 1 remember things very well." Earnestly, in her glowing enthusiasm and pleasure at having found one whose thooghts were responsive to her own, and in her innocence of false sentimen- tality ,the little girl in the shabby blue gingham dressed talked to Captain Tre- dennick, with her dark -gray eyes spark- ling, the color deepening on her thin, pale cheek, and her nervous slender fin- gers clasping and unclasping in eager impulsiveness. She spoke as she felt, and Stephen Tredennick listened with pleased. surprise and with a deepening interest - more for the speaker than her words -whilst Winnie Caerlyon talked to him of the beauty of the sea, ,of the glories of silvery moon risings across the dark, rippling ocean breast, of the more solemn glor- ies of the sleeping dawn, lying in the rosy flush of the brightening east; of: summer days, when the waters lay spread out to the purple horizon in a burnished, blinding, dazzling mirror of pellucid blue, darkened here and there into great shadowed patches of olive green from some fish ehoal gliding be- xteath the unruffled surface, of dark winter days, when the sea, was a dreary leaden hued expanse ,all flecked with foam crests and streamers of froth, as the wild waves rushed. on like shrieking steeds 'to battle, and crashed with all their artillery of force and sound against the jagged black rocks of Tregarthen reef, and the great dark precipitous , face of Tregarthen Head, scarcely a mile beyond them, and rearipg itself in pro- file against the blue sky. Nothings had. escaped the artistic per- ception of those glowinse'pasionate dark gray eyes beneath the fbad.ed. black straw hat, with such it pitiful scrap of velvet trimming around its rusty crown. Am- ber sueshine gleaming through the translucent green of the great upraised billows, changed opal lights on the shim- mering waves, glittering phosphorescent trails and sparkles in dark sultry sum- mer midnights, white and crimson and. purple lengths of trailing seaweeds, and. snowy shells tangled. in emerald tresses of ocean -grass -she knew them all. "You ought to have been a mermaid, Miss Caerlyon," Stephen Tredennick said, with a smile in his ey-es; "you would. have loved your ocean so dearly. Per- haps you are a mermaid -I am half doubtful about it. Perhaps you will begin a siren song presently, and I shall be obliged to follow, under the spell of your voice, until I sink down in the deep green water out there, and never be seen any more of menl" But all at once, as he spoke, the earnest little enthusiast with the artist eyes and the poetic -words changed into shy timid little (idyl in a. shabby frock. Winnie rerstembere'CI the thinness and brownness of her impulsive nervoui hands, and folded them closely to try to hide them from Captain Tredenniek's keen blue gray smiling eyes. "There would be no fear of that," she said, rather coldly and, constrainedly - "you would not come, sir." "But 1 should, though," he persisted, the snaildeepening, and a curious sen- sation coming over him of his heart quickening its beatings, as he noticed that .the flush on.

Poor 1Ittle Winnie - Pascoe the purser's wife -in the future! And she? Her tender, yearning heart, grown womanly almost before its time in the inteneity of her fervent imagination, her quiek intelligence, her gifted brain, had garnered up a passionate wealth of love which yearningly sought for an outlet in the bare, chill existence of a hard, unlovely, workeaday, commonplace life, ignoble in ell save ealf-enerifiee; and.n.ow the aneester-hand-unknown, undreamt, a until iteeanne-had come, and the magic of its touch had turned the matter key and unlocked the garnered treaeure -at once -for ever. The passionate, girlish heart, in its wild, strong faith, its quick impulses, its unreasoning instinct, had sinning to- wards him with the kindling flame of passionate grateful liking in that first hour of their meeting, when he had kindly thought of the forlorn little stranger's comfort, kindly troubled him- eelf concerning her, amiled on her as she thought none other ever had, ten- derly touched her hand, warmly praised her one gift of rare beapty; in shy, warna regard and tremulous admiration \Ohen they next met, and he was kinder, Pleas- anter, more thoughtful mid courteous even than before -when the strange de- light of his presence bewilderingly charm- ed away all the cold and loneliness and dreariness of that <told, dreary walk in the wild March morning -that walk that had seemed. in her remembrance since to lie through an enchanted land, until the rude interruption came and she trem- bled in fear -the new strange fear -of her uncouth lover's jealousy. The purser had often hinted before, to leer burning disgust and vexation, that the real reason of her exceeding desire to spend so much of her time at Roseworthy was that she might "set her cap at Madam's nephew"; and this be- fore she had much more than heard of the probable return of that stranger relative of her patroness, Tredennick of Tregarthen. The terror of the coarse words, of the coareer insinuations that might follow any avowal of acquaintanceship with Captain Tredennick, had haunted her from the first moment -poor, sensitive, unfriended girli-and mingled distract- ingly with the timid, reverential regard end admiration that had taken deep root in her fond, faithful heart -such deep root that, all unknown. to herself (for such knowledge is apt to linger un- less forced on. eelf-recognition) it had. sprung up fair and strong, and its ten- derneas and purity and sweetness had blossomed into love. In the agony of being humbled and mortified before Ste- phen Tredennick, poor Winnie been.= conscious of the birth of her love. If she had. eten hint no more, the one short glimpse into the Eden of powth might have faded fro mher memory ae time passed on; but thus it was appoint- ed. The goblet of life is held. to eash lip; we annet each drink as it passes. Deeply or slightly, all must drink of that bitter cup -- Filled with waters that upstart When the deep fountains of the heart, 33y strong convulsions rent apart, Are running all to waste. For "he who has learned to know" - the depth and darkness of the cup of life's sorrow -"he has not learned to live." Stephen. Tredennick did not know-- how should he? Had he known -could he have seen the end from the beginning -be, the brave, tender-hearted sailor, the kind, wise, generous man, the honest, chivalrous gentleman ,would have thought it as right and kind and wise in him to take innocent, lonely, friendless young Winnie Caerlyon in his arms, and. lay her under the cold. sea waves itt a deep oeean grave, as to follow the plea- sant impulse towarde her society on this sunlit March atm -noon, to seek her pres- enee down on the quiet beach by the murmuring waves, to talk winningly, kindly, tenderly to 31er in his deep pity and warm liking, to look into the pure depths of her passionate- eyes, to softly touch. her little thin work -worn hand, and sralle at the tremulous flushes on her ingenuous emotional face. He War; not telfish-kind, generous Stephen Tre- dennick-whorn his sailors loved. as a commander who considered his men's welfare as even prior to his own com- fort; by this time he had forgotten. to consider the probable cost of what was to hint a rare gratification, a hitherto unexperienced enj?yrrient, as he thought afterwarde, laughing at himself for the romantic folly of the thought - "Once es I told in glee TaiaS of the stormy sea, Soft eyes deld gaze on me.

Mrs. Caerlyon turned sharply around, eliseloeing the flannel petticoat .and stockings to full view -the angry pink flesh on her cheeks rising to her tem- ples, and her light, bora-looking brown eyes sparkling with displeasure. "1 think, Winniford," she said- she called her Winniford very often when She was vexed -"you might allow Cap - pun Treddeniek to choose whether he would stay for tea with us or not, We shall be very pleased to hone his com- pany if he cares to stay; and, if not, why, we must do without him," And Mrs, Caerlyon, to she spoke, flung the flannel on one side, and roll- ing the paire of stockings into woollen balls, flung them with it ieua "thud" one after the other into a basket, by way of emphasising her final clause. "Not this evening, thank you, Mrs. Caerlyon," said Captain Tredennick, pleasantly; "I may conic in some other afternoon, when I have given Madam notice that she is not to expect zee home at six." Lieutenant Caerlyon responded - "Very well, Captain Tredennick -we shall all be most happy to see you, eadmMterhiseresat'aerlyon said nothing, 'ocking-balls harder ,if possible, but pelt - arching her light eye -brows, and purs- ing her mouth with an air of what she considered to be cold. hauteur.

"Oh," she cried, turning round from the cupboard -"oh, good evening, Cap. pun THredennick." She was ignorant enough, in spite of her cold. hauteur, to expect that her strange male visitor •woula offer her, his lady hostess, his hand, to be shaken in farewell, after the custom of Mr. Thomas Pascoe, Mr. John Williams, Mr. Edward Johns, and the other gentlemen of her previous acquaintance. The slight bow and cold smile -very slight, very cold, it must lie confessed -although no breachesof etiquette, were to Mrs. Caer- lyon nothing less than a flagrant in- sult, "And John Caerlyon to stand. by and see him wife slighted in her own house in that manner!

It was nothing from morning till night with that gad -about of a maid, but 'Madam Vivian,' and Madam Vivian's style and splendor. Never mind, but she would put an end to that some day!
