should always have my way with him.
lie's what I call a aufcterful sort of man
w hen there is no question of his becom
ing my master, but when there is, it al
ters the case altogether. Mr. Vine is
nice, too, ia a different sort of a war. lie
hasn't a great deal to bat for himself, but
be is aensi bie and honest, and he has
the good taste to admire me a great deal
and I think if I married him I should
ba-e my own way entirely."
" I am not quite sure about that," Elea
nor Metcalf replied. You admitted he
was Be 1131 bie, you know, and I have a
suspicion he could be obstinate if he
liked."
lier friend paid no attention to the in
terruption, " They are both good matches," she
went on. " Captain feeymonr is heir to a
baronetcy and a good estate. Mr. Vine is
in bnsine33 with his father as a China
merchant, and the Captain said the oth
er dny he is one of the largest merchants
in the city, and is rolliLjj in money.
Well, if you are ready, leauur, we'll go
op -tn deck."
"The girls werw passengers on a P. dt
O. steamer bound for LIod Kong. Tbey
were both under the charge of tbe Cap
tain. Mabel was going to join an uncle,
who was a merchant there, anl Eleanor
to keep house for her father, tbe Colonel
of an EngKsh regiment of the garrison.
There Mabel was strikingly pretty, and
was full of high spirits. fcne bad been a
good deal iu Portsmouth society, and was
well know n in the garrison as an at rant
and determined little tliit. She could
have married over and over again, bad
abe chosen, but she had not, as she frank
ly avowed, any intention whatever of
tramping over the worid as a subaltern's
wife. Eleanor Metcalf was a slight girl
with a quiet manner, and although her
face was by no means striking, it was
one that grew opon yon, and before tbey
bad been a fortnight at sea there were
many of the patexrngera who preferred it
greatly to the bright and changeable
pre'tinesg of Mabel Fealberstoce.
"Good morninz, young ladies," said
the Captain, as tbey stepped upon tbe
deck. " I began to think that yon were
not going to appear until breakfast time."
" No brees, I see, Captain," Mabel
said, looking around w ith a little gtiea
ture of discontent ; " another broiling
day, I suppose."
" We shall have it presently." tbe Cap
tain said ; there is a dark line creeping
up from the stern."
" There is that horrid shark behind
there still," Mabel said, aa she glanced
over the side, " lie has been keeping
close to as for the last two days. I do
wish, Captain, that you would either
cau h him, shoot him, poison him, or do
something."
" Well, yoa see, Miss Featherstooe, we
have tried bard to catch him, but the
fellow won't took at our bait."
"Good morning, Captain Seymour";
"good morning. Mr. Vine ; bow long
have you been opT
"About two hoars. Miss Featherstone.
You should have come np earlier ; the
early mornings are delightful."
" The days are quite long enough, Cap
tain ceymour; too Ion?; if anything; I
have no desire to extend them."
Mis Featherstone strolled away to the
stern with Mr. Vine.
Cap'ain Seymour made no attempt to
follow the pair, but walked up and down
by himself until, upon the Captain be
ing called away on business. Miss Metoalf
seated herself, and then he dropped into
a chair beside her, a method of proceed
ing which, as that young lady was per
fectly well aware, had for tbe last fort
night been a very nnosnal one with him.
They had txen talking for a few minates,
hen tbey were interrupted by s short,
sudden cry and a load exclamation in a
man's voice, followed instantly by tbe
sbout of the helmsman :
Man overboard V
Captain Seymour leaped to bis fcet
and looked at the stern. Mabel Feaiher
stone, who had sat upon tbe rail, was no
longer tbere. Sir. Vine was standing
with his aims thrown up. Two springs
took the Captain to tbe stern. There,
tossing in the white water, was the fig
ure of girl.
" My God, I cant swim!" burst from
the lips of the man beside him.
Captain Seymour hesitated a moment
It was not the water that he feared, bat
the thought that flashed acrcrtn him of
tbe black triangular fin that had follow
lowed the ship for tbe last two days.
Then he turned and'eaught tbe life buoy
from tbe pin on which it hang. A band
was laid on his shoulder. ,
Dontgol"
"I most ! God bless yon," and with a
glance at Eleanor Metcalf be sprang on
to the rail and dived overboard.
All this bad taken but a few seconds,
hot Mabel Featherstone was already fif
ty yards away. Tbe girl s knew some
thing of swimming, and had tbe pres
ence of mind to throw herself on her
back. It took two or three minates bard

swimming, for tbe life buoy greatly im
peded his action, before Captain Sey
mour was by her side. She gave a sharp
cry as he touched her, for though he had
shouted she bad not heard him, and her
thoughts were on the nicn?ter s&tern.
" AH right. Miss Featherstone ; catch
hold of this life buoy ; we shall sooa have
help from the steamer."
Tbe ship seemed a long distance away,
bat be could see by the epray thrown
high from the screw that her engines
were reversed ; a bo.it was already in
the act of being lowered. Then he look
ed the other way, and for a moment his
heart seemed to stand still, for not fifty
yards away he saw the black fin of the
shark. lie bad expected it, for be knew
that the shark was sw imming at the same
rate of speed that the steamer had been
ging, aud that be most very soon be up
with them. Tbe girl saw it, too, for she
gave a sharp ery.
"Splash with your bands and feet," he
said ; " we shall manage to keep him out
until tbe boat comes up."
But Mabel was too terrified to do any
thing. She clung to the life buoy, with
her eyes fixed in wild horror upon the
sliark. Keeping one band upon the
buoy. Captain Seymour, with the other
arm, and his feet, sulxsheJ the water ;
and the shark, w hich approached rapid
ly until within a distance of twenty yards
paused and began to stint round anil
round them. Mabel now somewhat re
covered consciousness, and began also to
splash the water.
" That's right," Captain Seymour said,
cheeringly. You see we are frighten
ing him."
"This lasted several minutes, which
seemed an age to them.
" The boat's half way from the ship,1
Captun Seymour said. " Another coup
le minutes, and it will be here. Keep it
up, Miss Featherstone, Liil the last mo
ment ; bat if yoa see the sliark make a
rush, leave go the life buoy and throw
yourvelt on your back. I will meat him."
" No, no," she gasped, " y ya shall not
throw away your life."
"I am not going to throw it away. If be
makes a rush I shall shove this life buoy
into bis jaws. That will puzzle him."
The shark had now ceased swimming
round and lay with his bead towards
them at a distance of some fifteen yards
Tbe tremendous splashing evidently puz
zled and alarmed him. The boat was
now rapidly coming up, and the first of
ficer, standing op in the stern, shouted
words of encouragement The shark
doubtless heard the sound of the ap
proaching oars, and, fearing that it was
about to be balked of its prey, moved
slowly toward them.
Leave go, leave go, " Captain Seymour
exclaimed, but as the girl still held on be
jerked the lifw-buoy from her hand, and
exclaiming, "Throw yonrstlf on your
back," swam a couple strokes forward to
meet the shark. Its hesitation was now
over; with a sweep of its tail it dartc-J
forward, throwing itself on its back as it
approached within four or five yards of
the swimmer. The great mouth with its
treble row of teeth opened, widely and as
it did so, Captain Seymour thrust the
life buoy into it
Large as the mouth was, for the shark
was one of the largest of its kind, it was
not so wide as the width of the buoy. It
closed with a sudden snap, but the obsta
cle prevented the jaws front meeting,
though tbe swimmer lelt a sharp pain in
one of his hands ; then he was swept
aside aa the great fish brushed past him,
and be again swam to the side of Miss
Featherstone. A few seconds later the
shark came to tbe surface some littlediet
Ance astern. It was shaking its head vi
olently, and lashinz the water w itn iis
laiL The life-buoy bad been pushed
nearly to the junction of the jaws, and
the sharp teeth had imbedded themselves
deeply in the cork. It was trying in
vain to get rid of this strange object that
it had encountered.
"Thank God it's fixed there ! "I think
we are safe now. "
A minute later the bott da.-hep up
alongside w ith a ringing cheer from the
men.
Miss Featherstone, who was insensible
now, w as lifted on board. Captain Sey
mour was then hauled in. Ihe shark
was still going lhsUQ the most violent
contortions, lashing the water into a fosun
shaking its heal like a dog, turning over
and over, and evidently in a paroxysm of
rage and alarm.
"I wish I had a harpoon on board, "
the first olficer said. "What on earth
have yoa donj to him, Captain Sey
mour?" "I pushed the life-buoy down his
throat ; I suppose he can't get rid Of it "
"You are hurt," the officer exclaimed
suddenly, glancing at Captain Seymour's
left band, whkh was streaming with
blood.
"Yes, the teeth of bis upper jaw jast
caught my hand, but I most not grumble
rt that after sucb an escape as we havo
had."
"An ewctpe indeed," the mate agree.'.
"I tho'vtit it was all up with yoa when
we saw the brute make his rush ; that
was a splendid idea of the life-baoy ; in
deed it was a grand business altogether.
Captain Seymour, and I congratulate you
heartily. It's nothing to jump overboard
is temperate waters any man might do
that but to go overboard with that
shark coming on behind the ship was
another thing altogether.".
The ship which had been backing rap
idly down towards them, was now close
alongside. A cheer had come acrost the
water as the two swimmers were lifted
into the boat, and this now rose again
and again from the paissengeni and the
crew clustered along the bulwarks. The
ladder was already lowered. The mate
lifted Mabie Featherstone in his arms
and carried her on deck, Captain Sey
mour follow ins: hint- Tbe cheering crowd
pressed round, every one wanting to
hake bands with him or pat bim on tbe
shoulder.- A momentary faintness came
over him, and tbe captain exclaimed,
sharply:
"Stand back, stand back, give hint air;
don't yoa see he a hurt? Here, doctor,
take him down below. Ilia band is badly
torn."
"I am all right now," Captain Seymour .
aaid, refusing the captain's offered arm.
"I felt queer for a moment, bat it has
passed off aeain. Still I win go below
and have my arm dressed."
Captiia Seymour did not return on
deck for some hours. Tbe whole of the
flesh from the wrist down had been tors
off the back of the band, leaving the
era
bonea and aiaoe exposed. Tbe doctor,
after dressing it had insisted that ha
should lie down for a time.
"A little more. Captain Seymour, ar.d
yoa would have lost your band ; as it is,
you must be very careful of it Now I
will go off and see about Misa Feather
stone, the ladies have taken her in band
and as from what the mate aaid it's only
fainting and not drowning, for he saw
that she was conscious till just aa the
boat reached yoa ; tbey will do for her
just as well as I shall. Now, steward.
help Captain Seymoor to get bis things
off ; the warm blankets are ready, I sup
pose. Directly he i in bed give him a
basin of soup with half a glass of brandy
In it, and then leave him alone and see
that no one goes into his cabin azain."
in the cool of tbe evening Captain
Seymour came on deck. He shook hands
with a few of the pstsaengisrs, but thes.
speedily drew off, for the doctor had beg
ged them not to epeak to his patient
about tbe adventure.
"I expect he will have a touch of fever
after this." he said, "and unless we are
very careful we 6hall have inJamation
setting in, and he wiil love his hand. He
bad maca better have kept bis bed, but
I could not persuade him to do so. And
now treat him just as usual."
Captain Seymour passed on to a chair
near the stern, where Eleanor Metcalf
was sitting. She rose as he approached
ard held oat ber band silently.
"Yoa tried to keep me back, Sliss Met
calf," he Siid, as he seated himself beside
her.
"Yes," she replied, in a low voice; "I
did not know what I was saying at the
moment That dreadful creature behind
suddenly came into my mind, and I
I"
"Did not wish me to risk my .life, Ele
anor." "I did not know what I was saying,"
she repeated, and then went on, rapidly,
"how happy you must feel. Captain Sey
mour, at having saved Misj Feather
stone's life."
"I am glad to have done so," he sail,
"but I think uponjthe whole that I am
happier at soruethicg else. I am happier
now," he went on, seeing that she did
not speak, "that you saw me do it ; hap
pier b-.'cause yoa tried to stop cue. Don't
yoa know, Eleanor, that I love yoa dear
ly?' "I was not sure," she said, looking full
at him now. "J thought onoe that it
was Mable Featherstone that yoa cared
for,"
"Not after the first two or three days,"
he replied. "When we first came on
board, I own I was attracted by her ways,
but not after I came to know you. I did
not wijh to make you the object of re
mark. You know how people chatter on
board a ship. Bat the half hoar's talk I
managed to get with yoa each day was
everything to me, and I thinkjyou nia
have known it at the very bottom of yoor
heart,"
Perhaps Eleanor Mtcalf str pet-ted it
for she was silent
"What answer am I to have to my
question ?" he asked Eleanor, taking her
hand.
"I don't think you have as iced any
question," sha answered in a low, tender
voice.
"No; I toll yoa that I loved you,
Eleanor. Can yoa love me ia return,
dear?"
There was no neen for words ; the
presscre of the hand he held in his, was
a sufficient" answer, and for some minutes
not another word was spokn beyond his
"God bless you, my darling." The girl
spoke first.
"I don't know bow to tell MaMe." she
said. "I don't think she had quite set
tled before ; but now that yoa have risk
el your life so nobly for ber, she wiil
feel " and she stopped.
"That I am her special prorjerty," he
pit in with a smile. "It would be very
unfair to me if because of a few minutes
I risked my life to save hrs I am to give
the whole of it to her. Not exactly. I
do not think yoa neid to disturb your
self about that, Eleanor ; she will console
herself with Mr. Vine, who will, I have
no doubt, make her a good husband, an J
who, I am sure, from his face, would
have jumped to fare her, if he had
known how to swim."
Bat Mab'e Featherstone did not con
sole h Tself a qnirkly as Captain Sey
mour had f-rediced. She had listened
in silence as E'eancr gently told her the
news, when she went to her cabin tbat
night for the doctor bail insisted upon
the girt keeping ber bed ; but Eleanor,
wakinz hoars afterwards, heard her sib
bing q lietly in the berth below, and it
wasnot until six months after their ar
rival at Hong Kong, and two mont'is af
ter Mrs. Seymour had started with her
husband to England, that she accepted
Mr. Vine's several times repeat! offer.
In the long run, perhaps, that gentlemtn
was no-. th loser by her fall overboard,
forsh ? mode him a much steadier and
quieter wife than she was likely to have
done bid not that event takei place.

Talking of planting tree., it is a good
plan to plant all the waste places on the
farm with some good van ties of trees.
Notice the kinds which grow natnrally
with vigor and plant these. Hows of
trees planted along the public roads add
to the appearance and value of a farm.
Nut-leariag trees should not be neglect
ed. They give the children pleasure,
they are profitable fr both fruit and
tim)r. Where the locust trt grows
well, a great deal ol fencing tiaiher can
be grown by planting this tree in the
fence rows. It can be trimmed op very
high, and so does not injure the adjacent
crops. If the wind annoys yoa about
your buildings, why not plai t a wind

regret it Or if any of your fi-l-:la are ex

A Tii"er H Jit lr Indiana.
Locjsvill, November 2.1. Friday night a
party of youn g men near itockport, on the
Indiana shore, went coon bunting, taking
witb tbero their guns. About 11 o clcx
their dogs trailed an animal which turned
upon them and put them to 3.!it. The
hunters came up and. catching a glimpse f
tbe animal's form in the imperfect light, con
cluded that it was a panther. One of them
fired upon the beast, which tied with a howl
of pain. With tne aid of their dogs they fal
lowed, and in about an hour overtook the
strange animal, which turned for the pur
pose of showing fight, but a volley from their
rifles stretched it dead. The animal proved
to be a female tigr about three-founus
grown.
It is supposed that it had been in the
neighborhood for about a year, f jr the farm
ers bad been snfferiny that long from depre
dation committed by some large animal
upon their sheep, pigs and chickens, and at
tributed their loos to a panther. The ticer
probably escaped from a cirvus.
