A VACATION JI0KXIX0
Aunt Hetty and the College Girl
Just Homo from SchooL
Out under the rose-arl)r in the
pleasant front yard of the parsonage.
IJ.-tty IKxter, the minister's only
luuprhter, and her roomiiiite at col
lege, pretty Kose Hun tou, in their
fresh summer (,'owns are chatting- mer
rily with Maininu Dexter while they re
lie veil a pa-nt dish of strawberries of
their stems.
Hetty, a collepe senior now, was
seareely a leauty, though her liarul-s-une,
smilino- brown eyes male one
f..r-.:et any little irregularity of fea
ture. And though everyone in eollee,
at least in the upper classes, knew that
she was only a minister's daughter,
ami though anj' pirl with half an eye
could trace the transmigration prog
ress in lier hals and dress, and knew
that she could never jfive' a really
handsome spread, yet no o-irl within
the colle-re urates was so popular as
Hetty Dexter. No pirl had so many
invitations for vacation, so many en-ira-renients
to walk, drive, row and
ir intt the city; but nearly all of her
vacations were spent at home with the
ever-bu-ij mother and the delicate
father, who made many self-denials
in order to meet the slender college
bills. With her this summer, by spe
cial request, of the mother, had come
her room-mate, little Uo.se Houston,
the orphan heiress from New Orleans,
who loved Hetty better than she loved
anyone else in the wide world.
"Ours is a tiny dot of a home," said
Hetty, "and mother an l I do most of
the work top-ether; but you will have
a royal . welcome, dear." And Kose,
beiiifTa genuine, though- a very desul
tory sort of girl, by reason of her long
.years of orphanage and years of traveling-
about with a maid and her guar
dian, had been more than glad to
come. ' ..-'...
On tlie little table in the rose arbor, -beside
frs. "Dexter's workinpr basket,
was a volume of "The Vision of Sir
Launfal," which " the ladies had been
reading- in turn.
"There is such a musicial swing; to
those last verses," said Kose, "that one
is forced to remember them:
"-Who gives himself with his alms feeds
three
Himself, his hungerina neighboring and me.' "
"Hut really," said Hetty, "it is ouly
tlie purest sellishness to be kind und
fferierous to others, for the reward is
so sweet."
"And here comes over the hill a re
ward for two busy young1 housekeep
ers. I suspect," said Mrs. lexter, as
the sound of a tally-liorii from the
coach of a neighboring1 mountain re
sort was heard rolling in peculiar ca
dence .aiming the echoes. "It is a
charming day for a coaching party."
A nearer sound, however, attracted
theis ailcutiou before tho couch could
reach the fate a sound of the queru
lous, high, cracked voice of an old
'woman in gown and bonnet that may
Have been bravely fashionable fifty
years ag-o. -
"So glad to find you at home, Hetty;,
"and your ma, too. Walked all the way
frfmi Chatham Mills on purpose to see
ye and hear all about the college. I
hain't' seeti-ye in a long1 time, and I
have been longing for a sight of your
sweet face."
.'.They gave ' her cordial greeting, this
old Aunt. Hetty from Ulake's Corners,
and Hetty kissed, with genuine affoc-' .
tion, the withered face, once outward
ly beautiful and now shining' with in-'
ward goodness, which act inn Uose no
ticed with a bit of jealousy; for Uose
exectel her friends to be very loyal
to her, and loyalty, from her stand
point, meant caring much for her and
litll.? for others. It was a part of her
edtn-.ition and perhaps no one could
blame her. Indeed, one reason why she
had so gladly accepted the invitation
to the parsonage had been that she
wished to have Uose all to herself. At
college some one was always seeking
her; but here she thought it would be
otherwise. Yesterday, however, there
had been a Sunday-school vlass to en
tertain, and .here was the old lady.
The coaching party would take them
IrjUi away, no doubt, and certainly at
Mrs. Dextcr's ape, she, and not the
daughter, would bv the proper one to
entertain Aunt Hetty. So Hose settled
the alFair in her own infnd.
It was a gay company on the great
coach, with a little frriif of a bugler
and twenty j'onng people on top, while
the cliajH'i'ons were suugly bestowed
inside. If you doubt whether so many
could find space on a mountain tally
ho, just present the problem and the
coach to a party of that size, on a fine
slimmer morning, and they will speed
ily prove the truth of my statement
Two smiling young men, in sur.imer
flannels, and cheeks reddened by
the brisk drive, were on the ground
lieft.re the coach had time to stop, and
were inaMujr their salutations to the
ladies and their request to Mrs. Dex
ter. Thev were goin'f to Eagle ClilT
for a day's outing; party well ch:i
eroned, horses and driver absolutely
reliable. Could the young ladies join
them? And a chorus of girlish voices
added their entreaties, while the lxvy
bugler blew a del ieately suggestive
little songlet out into the air by- way
of liatterin"; invitation.
Aunt Hetty's old ej-es filled with
tears of disappointment, bnt she brave-.

ly winked them back before anyone
: could see tliem- so she thou jut.
"Got up at five oV-IfK-k.' did all the
work, tramped Over to Zene Lucas . tK
catch a ride on his milk-cart, and then
walked three miles ' more from the
mills in the hot sun.- and allfor.noth-
- in?. she was thinking. .. "Hut,'-dear
me! I was a pretty girl once myHl f .?
-and had iny.gooj times', too." Ko-ft'
chanced that what she' said,, in all sin-.
- cerity and - earnestness,- was. almost
convincing;. "Ik go right along, Het-!
' ty. 1 shall le over a'ain in a few"
days, inebbe, and this will give me-' a
nice chance to visit with your ma."
And by avoiding Hetty's eye the old
lady considered that she had made a
very neat thing of her hard task.
Rose turned eagerly to Mrs. Dexter
and waited; but Hetty took the old,
withered hands that were nervously
clasping and unclasping in excitement,
and without a shadow of regret on lips
or in her heart, said:
-"I am' so much obiig-ed to3'ou, Tom.
but I have other pleasures on baud for
to-Jay. Hut Miss Houston will go. I
.think. You have never seen 'Eagle
C'liir. dear," she con tinned, turning to
her friend, "and it is glorious up there
' in the darkness of the pines."
Hut the .sunny face of the heiress
was clouded with disappointment; and
to hide that look from Aunt Hetty's
sharp eyes, Hetty drew her friend
quietly away to the house to prepare
for tint drive.
"'Tain't no matter alxmt me at all,"
said Aunt Hetty. "Hetty won't stay
at lo nr. s on my account, will she?"
asked the wavering old voice.
"She said that she had some pleasant
plans for to-day." answered the moth
er, with a loving glance down the
walk where her daughter was waviug
her hand to the departing coachers.
You may think the girl was practic
ing self-denial; but her mother de
tected no trace of regret or d isa p. hit
men t in the dear face, and Aunt Hetty
had one of the happiest days in JieV '
whole life a day remembered with
deepest gratitude to the last of her
sm in-closing life.
Looking over photographs is a com
monplace amusement to most of usj
but when one's eyes have seen just
a I xiiit the same sights year after year,
for over fifty years, until the world
seems made up of little brown farm
houses and barns and sheds, and the
church and store ouce a week, then a
glimpse of handsome buildings, broad
lawns diver.silied with picturesque cot
tages anil groups of pretty girls scat
tered aliout under the trees, of art
treasures gleaming in marble white
ness, of smotilli waters covered with
ita-ticing- boats rowed, by girlisli oars
men, of study parlors decorated and
enshioued in the last ami daintiest
fashion of- college girls then, I say,
looking; over photographs ceases to be
commonplace.
Hetty had no end of pleasant stories
to tell of the college life; of its good
times and disapiKiintn.eiits; of tho days
.when she visited the great city and
walked through the busy streets .which
Aunt Hetty had never seen; of , .the
concert when Hetty hud beeu r.how
ered with roses by her enthusiastic
classmates, an.l how some of the roses
were as large across as a saucer, and
so sweet; of the days when she worked
so busily to refashion the three sea
sons' old hats or gowns into dainty
confections fit to be worn by the side
of the gay headgear of her compan
ions. She lived over again all -her
pleasant college days, her freshman
iiojios, sophomore . ambitions and
junior triumphs. She brought out
Uose's banjo and made Aunt Hetty's
face shine with youthful delight as
she saug the lively boating songs and
rollicking tunes beloved of college
girls and men. For Aunt Hetty had
leen a lively girl, too. in her day. and
loved merry times. She would always
lie a little gayer in spirit, a little less
likely to sit down in her old brown,
worn room and think of her bereave
ments, than she had Ih-cii; and once
in awhile, out in the little orchard
where not even the hired man could
hear her, or by the winter hearth
when the wise cat vas asleep, she
would hum to herself, with great sat
isfaction, some of these college airs.
They had a pretty luncheon of bouil
lon, lettuee sandwiches, fre.-.h eggs,'
lierrieS, and a RTeat golden eustard
pie, Aunt Hetty's special delight. TlieAi
Hetty's deft fingers attacked the time
worn black ltonnct, to make it look a
little more "like folks," as its owner
expressed it; and if a particular piece
of black rililxni which was to have
made a smart bow on her own little
turban "made sunshine in a sha-ly
place," so to speak, on the dreary waste
of that ancient piece of hea 1-gear I
think that none of Hetty's friends
missed it, because under the turban,
was a face that made you forget what
was above it.

- ,.On a pleasant morning in summer .

little 'craft that her only crow was one
slender girl, the daughter of the cap

father since shcAwas so small that he
had to plaeo a box for her to' stand on
, when he wished her to hold the wheel
while he bandied the sails if by chance
any change of course was necessary.

der girl, whose brown cheek was round
and ruddy with the rich blood which
leaped through her veins, for Kalili.
having been reared in the open air,
most of the time on the broad ocean,
. was strong and health)-, and well able
to do the work required of her on the.
schooner. 1 Wheh they left. Lau pa hoe
hoe the sun shone brilliantly, but old
Kalamaiiu shook his head and looked -gravel)-
toward a bank of black clouds
which were piled' up high above the.
top of lofty Mauua Ioa. Kalili cared
little for her father's misgivings. She
was anxious to get away, for the next
day was a holiday, and she. wished ; to
reach Honolulu in time to enjoy lu?r
self with her companions.
While she stood holding the wheel
anl keeping the little craft 01 it
course, she was dreaming of the luau
to which she had Wen bidden and
thinking of the bright. Ieis which she
would weave in her dusky hair and
hang around her dimpled shoulders. -Her
holoku would beas pretty as any
there, and she knew that at least one
pair of eyes would see that leis and
dress were both worn by a beautiful
girl. Dreaming thns, she did not
notice the change which was coming
over the 'sky did not see the white
caps, which showed that the wind was
raising swiftly anil would soon sweep
across the wide channel with resistless
force.
The pleasant islands of the southern
sea are not always serene and placid.
Sometimes the kona comes howling
and shrieking down the dark canyo:is
ami through the narrow gorges, smit
ing everything before it to the ground.
When it comes Jod help the hapless
craft which is in its road, trod only
can help, for the blows which the wind
and waves deal upon the tossing,
writhing vessel are heavy enough to
ilrivj it bodily beneath the waters.
Kalamauu hail neither holoku nor leis
to dream of, so be had seen the kona
coming and iiad been preparing to
meet it to the ln-st of his ability. lie
had given the girl his orders ia quick,
sharp tones, and she had mechanically
oWyed them, "but without realizing
what the change of course meant- Sud
denly she was awakened, and roughly,
from her dreams. A wall of white
water rose high nlxive the side of the
vejksijaii.l dashed down 11 Kin the deck,
drenching the girl to the skiu.
ith the shock she came back to the"
present, and, looking around, saw' that -what
but a short time before was a "
siuootli placid stretch of blue -water -was
now a foaming, raging sea, dash
ing its waves high aliove the low rail"
of the schooner. The wind whistled
and howled around her ears. She
could scarcely hear her father as he
shouted his orders to her from a few
feet distant- Filled with terror, she -kept
the vessel on its course, but only
by the exertion of her whole strength.
Louder and louder roared the wind,"
and higher yet climln-d the waves.
The sun still shone brightly above her
head, seeming to make the scene more
frightful than it would have appeared
Wncath a cloudy sky. A kona may
Idow for days and it may pass in au
hour. Their only hope was that this
one had arisen so suddenly that it
would subside as quickly. -.
Kalauiantt watched the black cloud
which bail first given him warning
of coining trouble, and saw, to his.
joy, that it was passing away. . Kvi-th-ntly
the ktina would not, last many
kours, but -could the little vessel,
built for sailing on a summer sea,
stand that terrible wrenching and
twisting even for that short ti'ne?
She was new and reasonably strong,
but the blows she had bulfered might
well have destroyed a stronger ves-iel.
lie could only hope for the lcst and
hold on to the rail until the wind fell.
I le had done all that was possible to
save his vessel. God must do the rest.
The wi.id was surely sinking, the
waves did not rise so high above his
head. ' The worst was over anil he
turned his head to speak to the girl,
vt ho. still clung to the wheel.
Ihen came a crash. An immense
wave. h:td broken over the stem, filled
the little hold and the little schooner
was sinking under their feet.
Kalili was 'as much at home on water
as oil laud, like all Ha waiians, jiinl as
mh m as she caught her breath she rose
in the water and looked alxmt for
t.omethinr' to aid her in her tight with
the se.i. and for her father, for wliose
safety she had no fear. Hut she saw
him slowly sinking beneath the angry
waves, lie had been inj.ired by a blow
from sotnethin;r as the water dashed
across the deck, carrying whatever
l.-nse articles still remained on the
deck.
Swimming swiftly to his side, Kalili
c:iu rht hold of him and raisetl his head
above the water. lie was not insen
sible, ami iu a few moments was able
to support himself on the water, but
In- had been injured so severely that
ho was unable to swim.
They were at least twenty-five miles
from laud, alone on the tossing sea,
without even a broken oar to assist
tiicni, and she, a helpless girl, must do
what she could to save not only her
own life,. but her injured father. Kala
manu had put on Lis oilskin coat and
his sea lots when first the waves be
gan to break above the rail, and these
added to his weight.
Kalili knew that she conld never

down. The coat and !oots 1:111st l-e re
moved. 1 he man could move his arms,
feebly, and he assisted her in remov
ing the heavy coat. Then she dove
down 1cliind him, and after many at
tempts succeeded in getting the boots

Then she started to swim back over
the course they had sailed that day.
Think of it! Alone, twenty-five miles
from land, with the sea a tossing,
tumbling waste of water.' She deter

mined to swim to land, and not only
to swi-jt to that distant land, but to
carry v ith her the almost helpless old
man. -'-' . '
The" wind had died entirely away
.and the sea. was rapidly subsiding.
That much ws in her favor. Then,
too, she knew the, next morning the
-steamer Like-Li Je would cross the
channel on her way from Hilo to Hon
olulu. If she could keep afloat, could
see tlie-etcamer, could 'make those on
hoard see her, then -she might hope for
. rescue. Keeping her eyes fixed on the -
dstaht mountain, she swani on ami
on, sometimes towing her father by
his arm thrown across her shoulders,
sometimes pushing him forward with
her breast and using lioth arms." some
times holding him with one hand and
swimming with the other. .
.- Hour after hour passed. She became
exhausted, and, ' turning upon her
back, floated for a while to rest her
strained arms and shoulders; then
again she swam on. on toward that
dini speck against the darkening sky
which she kuew was .mighty Mauua
Loa. That must be her landmark un
til she came near enough to the shore :
to see the lower land. No mutter w hat
point she reached, only the solid land,
no matter whether near or far from her
starting point
Night fell; but, watching the stars,
- she kept her face turned toward the
place where, miles away,' lay the
longed-for land.
Kalamaiiu, while day lasted, was
able to hold his head altove the waves,
but soon after nightfall he became too
weak to do even this. Finding that he
was failing he told his brave daughter
to leave him and strive to save her own
iife. She refused; both or neither
should reach the laud. Together they
would meet their fate, good or 'evil.

keep his face above water .she tore a'

Night passed, morning came and
found her, with aching arms and
shoulders, still swimming, slower now,
toward the distant shore. Up came
the sun, aud the tortures of heat were
added to her sufferings. Her arms,
face and shoulders were blistered by
the scorching rays until the touch of
the salt water was agony. Still she
pressed on. Noon came, nearly twenty-four
hours since she began that
long fight against death.
An hour passed and still no succor.
No sign of a steamer or other vessel,
aud the distant mountain seemed as
far off as ever. For the first time the
heroic girl began to despair. She felt
that she was growing weaker. Noth
ing had passed her lips since the morn
ing before, when they had left port.
She was growing faint, aud wondered
if she had not best give up the battle;
but not yet, and again she pressed 011.
Her father had not moved for some
time, and she did not know if he still
lived, but dead or alive, if she reached
the shore she would bring him w ith her.
The steamer Like-Like left lort on
that morning two or three hours later
than usual, owing to delay caused by.
the gale the day previous. -' Straight .
but- into the channel she steamed.-..
About three o'clock in the afternoon
the man on watch called to the officer
of the deck that he saw some strange
object a little ahead of the steamer.
Asked what it looked like, he said he
thought it some strange animal, but
that it was surely alive, as he saw it
move from time to time.
All hands watched for a glimpse of
the object which hail been reported,
and iu half an hour they were near
enough to see it from the deck and to '
recognize it as a living leing. A boat
was quickly lowered and rowed rapid
ly to the side of the object- They found
a native girl w ith an apparently dead
man tied fast to her body swimming
feebly away from them. With a stroke
of the oars they overtook her and
grasped her to raise her into the boaL
She did not seem to know that any
one was near her and still strove
weakly to swim away from them, but
strong hands lifted her up and laid
her down in the bottom of the boat..
At first they thought the man was
dea I, - but - when they reached the
steamer's ' deck he was still" faintly
breathing, and in. the Lands of a skill- '
ful physician he' was brought to his
senses.
Hut more interest was felt in the
poor girl than in him. When she had
left Laupahoehoe the morning liefore
she was a lieautiful girl. When lifted
to the steamer's deck she was burned
and blistered, face, neck and arms un
til the raw flesh looked like nothing
human.
Her hair was filled with salt crystals
and matted and knotted so that before
they could do much for her they were
obliged to cut it 01T. ' Hut she was
alive, and more than that, she hail
saved her father's life also. When the
steamer reached Honolulu lioth were
in a way to recovery. Kalili was the
heroine of the day.
From the place where the schooner
sank to w here the steamer picked the
castaways up was twenty miles in a
.direct line. Of course the girl had not
kept a direct line, and had covered
much more distance than that.
When Kalili recovered her strength
her father was able to be up, and in a
few weeks both were as strong as if
they lunl not passed through that ter
rible battle with the wares.
Kalili still lives, but she has never
leen on the sea since that disastrous
voyage. She has lost her nerve, and
now dreads the water worse than a
person who never learned to swim.
Hut she is still poiutcd out to strangers
as the girl who swam twenty miles
and carried her insensible father the
greater part of the distance. San

A PKOSELYTE.
A Well-Taught Lesson He Never
Expected to Leaxn.
Mr. Aubrey Everdcne looked out
upon Sackville street and yawned.
Only an instant liefore he had written
"fiuis" to an article with a .dash of the
pen across the last sheet, and now thv
MS. lay ready for the post am..:ig the
debris of printer's proofs, r.ew novels
awaiting review, etc. with which the
writing table was strewn. '
r One of the liest-know u literateurs in
London, and a brill ant conversation
alist. his tongue could le as scathing
us his-pen, and it was said of him. w ith
; regard to the,-latter weapon of war
t fare, that in half a dozen polished sen-,
tences he could do more towards tiainn-
- 'ing a bvk than any two-of his cnni-
; peers. . A-big. loosely-made man,' Mr.
Kverdene, with shrewd gray eyes' and
.the pessimism of a modern. Studying
his face as he lounged by the window,
his hands in the pockets of bis smok
ing jacket, one could see that he had a
lively sense of humor combined with
his other characteristics and under
stood the interest his personality
aroused.
Presently a servant brought him a
visiting card on a salver.
"The lady would le obliged if you
would grant her an interview, sir."
"Lady Hilyard." muttered Everdcne,
reading the inscription. "1 can't re
call the name. Hother the woman,
what does she want?" However ask
her to come up, Hlake."
When she entered, a fair, elegant
woman of perhaps five-and-twenty, in
an irrcpro.u-hable l'arision toilet, he
was still more convinced that he. had
not the privilege of her acquaintance.
"Mr. Aubrey Everdcne?" she que-,
ried.
Mr. Everdcne bowed. '
"IVay take a seat, madam."
"No." she saiiL "I have come to.
quarrel with yoii. and I don't sit down
in the houses of my enemies;"
"To quarrel with me:" His eye
. brows went up. The thought came to
him that his visitor was not in her
' right minci. ' -
"Yes. ; Perhaps I had belter explain
myself at once. I am the. author of
Fashion and Footlights:'". - (
Mr. Everdcne, standing perforce be-
cause she would, pulled his mustache,
while the fair stranger tapped her No.
3 shoe on the carpet tvith impatience,
and looked pitchforks and daggers.
'Fashion aud Footlights,' " he re
flected aloud. " 'Fashion and Foot
lights. Ha'" ,
Comprehension stole over his face,
and with it a slight amusement. He
fished among a pile of volumes and
brought out three lxund with an ele
gance destined to win the hearts of
suburban circulating libraries;
'Here it is. I reviewed it in the
Centurion, didn't I?"
"No." she said, "you hanged and
quartered it!"
"I am sorry! May I ask how you
found out that I was the culprit'."'
"Oh, by accident. It's a long story,
and unimportant, since you don't de
ny the imputation. Now, Mr. Ever
dcne, I know it-is very impertinent-of
nic.a stranger, to come to your pri
'vatc address ami worry you. . I am di
ing a very unusual thing, ! am afraid,
and Mrs. Grundy would lie horrified.
Hut .'fools rush in, you knonv and
widows are privileged! You must have
a little jtatienee- with me, In-cause "
for the first time her lips relaxed, and
she smiled a smile that was sweetness
itself "well, just because I'm a wom
an and you're a gentleman! Acknow
ledge the truth, now, on your honor.
IXm't you think you wer.- unnecessa
rily harsh to my poor little liu-rary
effort?"
"No," he said, bluntly. "I always
give my true opinion of things, and 1
consider your look had many faults."
If she had Iteen a man he woul.l have
said: "I thought it was excessively
bad," w ith tlic bruujuetiess of convic
tion, and probably dcelineil to drscu.ss
the matter. Hut to a la ly it was im
possible to be rude. He regarded her
absurdly unconventional presence with
a tolerant kindliness.
'Of course, I admit that there arc
faults, but upon one or two points in
your criticism. I cannot arret- with
you. I should very much like to dis
cuss them with you. May I?"
"Certainly." His mouth was twitch
ing under his heavy mustache. "Hut
don't you think, pending the verdict,
that you had lietter sit down? You
will lie fatigued. If you'll permit me
to wheel this armchair nearer the lire
for you so!"
Having carefully arranged it so that
she should face the light, he seated
himself opposite to her the A. H. C. of
diplomacy, but she did not appear to
notice it- She was draw ing aralt-squvs
on the carpet with the oint of Iwr
ivory-handled umbrella.
"I should very much like to know,"
she said, "what you think of me for
owning here!"
"I think you are plucky yes, and
recklessly unconventional."
'Candid, at any rate! And I like
that-" She looked up. "Now for the
first indictment on the list, Mr. Ever
dcne! You accuse me of improbabil
ity. I deny it,"
His manner lorilered upon prc-occu-pation.
In truth he was thinking
what wonderful lashes she had, and
how liecoming a flush of excitement
could le to a clear, pale skin.
"You assert," she contiuned warm
ly, "that it is ridiculous to suppose
that a man and woman of the world

"Then you acknowledge that you

"I was brutal." He would have com

that tear away.
"And that I had just cause for in

A smile broke like April sunshine

"In that case I suppose I must for

He was ridiculously grateful. lie

With the Japanese table between
them they chatted for awhile, and then

"Do you know. Mr. Everdene. that I

"1 thought it had leen ten minutes,"
he answered, "and the plcasantest of

"Very pretty !" she said, blushing

I must thank you very heartily for

"You really mertn that?"
"On my ooul I do."
The most delicious softness was in
her voice:
"It makes me so proud and happy to

There was a silence. She smootned

twisted a button on his coat- Then
she aroused herself with a little laugh
and extended her hand.
