Do you envy this shelter—this flicker

You have stormed the pale stars from

Far-—far be your flight,

To the fearful seas, where the

And the gray gulls scream as the ships

heard voices in the other room across
the passage. It was Matty and
sister talking together.
Matty was dwarf. He had a
long Welsh name, but we called him
“Matty” in the general way, beenuse
of his rough hair, and he didn’t seem
to mind the joke.
“1 love you! he says to Hetty, “I've
loved you ever since I've you,
Won't you marry me? I'd be a good
husband to you.”
“Marry you?

He spoke short and savagelike,
“Jim Marwood’s the man that stands
between you and me. Do you think
I've been blind? Jim Marwood has
got your heart and do you think you
will ever marry him while I'm alive?’
“It Is Jim Marwood that has got my
heart and I have his, and I'm not
ashamed to say it before you or any
man. I know you've got your cottage
and your garden that you are so mor-
tal pround of, and 1 know Jim is poor,
and we shall have walt for years
but you needn't think you'll frighten
me out of marrying him, I'd never
marry such a miserable, wicked, ugly
little wretch as you! So don’t flatter
yourself 1 would."

Treasure In An Old Wreck.
Gree divers who are working on
wreck of the Russian flagship
which was sunk in Greek waters in
1770 say that the hulk of the vessel is
gold and silver
cooing. The attempt of the divers is
directed only to the gold coins, of
which f 5,000 has already been re.
covered Lind the sum is being largely
added to every day.
The divers say that the bottom of
the sea about the wreck is heaped with
sliver pleces of tu. size of a dollaz

now saw that another animal was gal

the other herd, doubtless to accept the
challenge. The newcomer was on mag-

clear light of the moon shining upon
him, he presented a gigantic appear:
