Moat of the fishing parties from the harbors along the bay stopped here for a clue bake and a cocktail; yacht nn chored near the inlet and sportsmen would put up at the tavern Jor & woek oi two at a time, But in winter it was a dreary spot. The monotonous turmoil of the surf was broken only now and then by tiie shrill ery of the gull or the shrieking of the wind as it whirled across the bar During the long storms only an oocca- sional wrecker or a patrol from the life- saving station visited the place, snd at any time in Winter a party fie ours was & rarity. A real Bohemian freak had brought ns down to Uncle Jake's that night. The evening beforea dozen of us art sts had met at a little reunion in the studio of one of our number, and one of us seeing & sketch of Uncle Jake's tavern on the easel, had proposed paying hima Win- ter's visit, We all knew Uncle Jake, and the Idea of a Winter's visit to him was too much of anoveity to be resisted. So we sot out for the tavern the next day, and ar- rived there before night time. Uncle Jake knew that the trip across the bay had been a rough one. 80 he started a roaring wood fire; and w we had finished supper he put a steaming t of punch on the table. But despite his atteation and the jollity of our party, he wasn't fu the spirits. Not that he didn't dip } into the punch bowl pretiy ften, but he see:ned moody and didn't talk much.

The sun had browued her face and arms, and the wind had played with her fair halr until it hung over her forehead Uke tangled sun- beams. someth Bhe was tall and lithesoms, and as strong as she was graceful. Often, when she was a mere girl of 10 or 12, I had seen her pulling her skiff across the bay and hailing the old fishermen sa they scudded past In their smacks. Many a time they would lay to aud take her aboard and tow her skiff home : and then she would take the hol from the skipper, trim the sheet snd shout with glee as the spray came dasiing over the bow, I wondered what had become of her and asked UnecleJake, but he 1idn't goon to hear my question, though the dog sprang to his feet and roamed alout u easily before he slunk back to his was- tors feel. 1 was about to ask t! 10% tion again when one of our party posed a song, While they gathered in a group around the old piano in the corner, the old man stole quietly to the dogs of anoth: OTE and beckoned me to follow him.
