HE schooner yacht Cloud glided like a spirit over the calm water; the winter sun smote her white dazzling sails and spotless decks. The great canvas wings lay asleep under the light air of wind. A couple of miles away tne purple bills lay In shadow, the white houses and villas scattered at their feet amongst the green. "Pie smooth sea was streaked with olive tints where the cloud shadows lay. elsewhere it ihimniered blue In the sunlight; the beautiful vessel's bows divided it wit'j 1 soft, bubbling kiss; other of Nature's founds there were nunc A whlte-f ro ked seaman Rprawlert aver the heel of the bow-sprit. Two women In s.immer gowns stood by the fore-rigging, talking. Abaft sat two men. one of whom held the tiller. "Well, Trevor, say what you like. I flon't care for foreign women; even the best of 'em a-e quite different from our girls. These two, now; you we icarcely know anything of them. She may be the Countess Verskala. and the other may be her younger sister." "Hang II Mandevll! Didn't Ixml Exham himself introduce her to nie?" "Yes The credentials seem all right, and yet, I don't know. They don't seem to expect us to take liberties with them, tnyhow." "I say! Shut up, will you! ' I er I am " Trevor's exclamation was so pointed that Mandevll begged pardon abruptly and confusedly. "I had no idea." he said. "I might have guessed, too. You were always rather drawn to Russ women ever since you were attache out here. Aw ful enthusiast you used to be In those days, old chap." "Tes, I was. I'm not ashamed to say so. Things are too awful in Russia. I wasn't doing right, either In my posi tion." "Belonged to one of their secret so cieties, didn't your' "Tes. Heaps of their military and na val fellows are members. It was a naval Johnny persuaded me. But I dropped 'em. The beggars were too forward for me; they're so awfully In earnest; murder Is nothing to them.

There's no antidote for that, is there r "Not that I know of. old chap, except an antecedent blameless life." "But I thought you couldn't clear out when once yon belonged to those so cieties. Ain't you afraid they'll pot yon some day for a defaulter?" "No. Safe enough. They don't even know my name since I came into the title." "By Jove! I wouldn't trust them. I should have been shy of a job like that one of catching Steplnsky the other day. poor devil!" "Coaldn't help It. my dear chap. On service, you know. I didn't like it. myself, I can tell you." "They sent him to Siberia, didn't theyr "Tes. poor brute!" Feminine voices disturbed their con versation. Looking up they saw that Trevor's other guests were walking to ward them. Both women were gracious-looking and slender, with wine brown batr and dark eyebrows. Both were undeniably beautiful with an at traction of their own. Their eyes were thoughtful and deep. No one could for a moment have taken them for Eng lishwomen and yet both 'were speak ing that language. "Lord Hinkley," said the elder wo man. "Dolly wants to go on shore; can you send her? She has a garden party engagement." "Certainly." said Trevor, rising. "And you. Countess?" "I oh, I am tired; I will stay till the yacht gets In." "May I have the honor of escorting Miss Dolly?" said Mandevll. The younge woman smiled graciously with pleased acceptance. "Mr. Ratsey, have the gig manned." cried Trevor to the master. The whlte-frocked crew came tum bling up from below; the polished gig was lowered, clattering from the dav its, and took the water with a slapping splash: a couple of luxurious cushions were passed down into the stern- sheets, and the master, touching bis cap. announced tbe boat ready. In an other moment Mandevll was banding bis pretty charge down the little lad der which bad been swung over. "Good-by. Dollnka," said the eldei woman. "Will you come back with the boat?" asked Trevor. "Ko, old chap," replied his friend. Tou'll be coming In pretty soon. I think I'll go to the garden party." And the boat dashed away shoreward "I'm afraid you'll be tired out bcrort we get back to the shore." said Trevor turning to the woman at bis dde. "It will take us some time to work home against this light wind." "Oh. no," he answered. "It Is dc Ightfully restful, if you wiU let me Ireain and be lazy I shall be happy. Vou will be the one to tire." And she looked up sideways. "I madam " he faltered. "Deal me! madam." "May I say 'Darya?" "Why not?" II.? looked round. Had they beer ilone he would have ventured inor ;;'atly. but the bright sun shone dowi' upon tliem and several of the crew 1 stood about the deck; the master, too. bad taken the helm. Trevor" eyes showed bis sadden passion. Tbe wo oian seeing, smiled. For tbe past week he had been In at tendance upon her. She wo a change after Enxllabwaiaaw. aa mmm tove gloriously he felt certain. Now, they were alone upon tbe sea for the next Tew hours. He" would at least make the time as long as possible. He paced over to the helm. "Ton needn't hurry." he said to t master. "Don't keep ber too close te the wind. If we are back by sanset 11 will do very well "Aye. aye. sir," answered the man. He went back to her. "I told my man be aesaTat take th cacbt back till sunset." he whispered. She locked sideways at him for an wer. A look of veiled invitation. He longed for evening; under the naked inn glare love-making was Impossible. Dare be ask her to go below? "Don't you think the sun Is rathei flaring?" be said. "Oh. no. I like It, Lord Hinkley. " 'Hinkley'?" "Well, then-Trevor." But even now Nature stepped In ts tpoil his moment. "My lord!" It was Ratsey wh poke. lie looked np In annoyance. "Well, what?" "Something on the water out ahead, dr. Looks like wind." He rose and looked. Across the pur ple hills a thin veil of mist seemed tc Jrtft; boneath It on the waters, was a lark blue line slashed with sparkling, white wave crests. "Turn the hands up. Ratsey," he iliouted. "It's a white squall coming Jown. Up helm! Haid!". The men came runniug on deck. Or Jer after order followed swiftly. "Low r away the mainsail! Up aloft there, secure the gaff topsails. Down with the jibs! Smart tow, men!" With almost naval alacrity the sallf ;ame In. The t'ark line on the water, zrept nearer, the misty cloud wreath whirled heaveuwaid and disappeared. Trevor had time, hurriedly, to say: . "Will you not go bflow? You're not frightened are your' "Frightened? I?" she smiled faintly. Co on with your work," she contin ued, "I shall remain on deck." Hardly bad she spoken when tlx tquall struck them; the half-lowered foresnil burst from their hands, with a single balloouing flap, and set hard sgaiiKt the lee rigging; tne staysail blew out of its bolt ropes and slattrd itself Into ribbons and shreds; the cloud lay over, over, making the watoi boil and bubble furiously In ber Ice scuppers; at last obeying ber helm, she lighted and fled seaward like a frightened horse. All round them was the whirr and scream of the squall; the sea wag whipped into spindrift and swept across their decks in a misty cloud, that smitten by tbe sun. made a great rainbow arch over tbe forecastle. He turned aud looked at ber. Iter milled hair swept about ber face and neck In wispy curls, her gown waved about ber form in billowy fold; standing there erect, holding with one hand to a backstay, she seemed a maenad directing the storm; her flash ing eyes showed power not fear; he ;azed In admiration. On they swept before the wind, the mists of the flying spray enwrapping them, till at last the squall spent itself, and once more there was quiet peace. He bad covered her with a boalcloak, so that her dress was Iry. The sun in a few moments dried :be decks, and. whilst tbe crew again mads sail and brought the craft to the wind, he placed her In a deck-chair and sat at ber feet, and an they talked she Ulowed bli yes to meet hers. Presently she subtilely drew the con versation to anarchy and socialism. "I was a member of the society once." be said. "Indeed!" And her brows rose It arches. "I have known many, many poor Stephlnsky. for example." His face flushed. " " He said In wardly. "I couldn't help banding the fellow over. A sailor is bound to obey orders. I was not so bad as Nelson with Caraccloli." "What did you say?" she asked, foi he had begun to mutter aloud.

II was likewise the time when the hands f the clock went around altogether too !ast to suit Janet. "Yon seem to love to say It's my teo dme," she said, looking crossly at the Dig clock. "I wish I could sit np once ta a while and see what a good time the grown folks have after we hare rone to bed." "We" meant Janet and ner aoiis. "You can sit up to-night If yon wish. fust as long as you like," said Janet mother. "Truly?" asked Janet. "Truly." said her mother. "Oh. thank you. mamma.

"I know and I Isavg have kmown just bow yon feel stout going to bed so early. So to alght yon shall ait np just as long as ron Hke, and we will see for ourselves Inst what good times tbe grown-up seople have." Then they all went downstairs to tbe library, where the family were. It was very quiet there, Janet thought. The alder children were studying their les sons for the next day, grouped around the long table In tbe middle of tbe room, and her father and mother werr reading. Do tell me a long story, please. mamma," said Janet, bringing ner lit tle chair un beside her mother's; bnt ber mother shook her bead. "It would disturb the children study ing." she said. "Can I have an opera with my dolls?" "No. dear." "Isn't there anything to amuse me?" and there were tears in Janet's voice. "No, little daughter, this Is the quiet lour for the grown people and you will live to keep still." So Janet sat down and looked soberly it the fire. By and by her head rested against ber mother's knee. "I don't think grown folks" she be ran. and that was all. until ner ratner was carrying ber upstairs "have a rery good time at all," she murmured sleepily. Since then she goes to bed cheerfully.

Wandering through the crooked atrcets of the little fishing village of Schereningen. from which the famous Dutch watering place takes Its name, t heard many shouts of laughter Issu ing from a garden inclosed by high walls. The gate was open, and I peeped in. My curiosity was rewarded by one f the sweetest sights I have ever wit nessed. About twenty little Dutch melds and lads, their ages varying Trom three to six years, were enjoying i game of ordinary American tag. a-hile a little attendant of about twelve rears stood by, busily knitting while ibe watched them. A bell sounded; :bey all fell In line behind the 11' tie tnitter and walked demurely, two by two. In a serpentine line around the garden and disappeared In a long hall, it the door of which each child took off ts little wooden shoes and held them n one nana ncnina us d.ick, says a writer in tbe Washington Star. In the meantime tbe principal came out and Invited me, by signs, to enter. In the hall I noticed tbe little sabots laid orderly side by side. There were three bails in the kindergartens in each were fifty children, between the ages of three and six years tbe girls In gowns to their ankles, held out In balloon fashion with haircloth petticoats, little white shawls pinned over the shoulders and caps covering their straight yellow locks. At this free kindergarten the chil dren of the fisher folk, many of them fatherless, derive all care aud atten tion. They are taught by the same methods used In Germany. All seemed bright and happy. In one room they were singing quaint little nursery rhymes about boats, to one little fellow trv walkta the floor, rolling like a aauo going through the motion, of rowing- boa? and pulling In neU.

"The Graveyard of tbe Atlantic" ta what seafaring men term that part of tbe ocean which lies off Cape Hatteras. Since America was discovered, this long, low piece of North Carolina, pro jecting far out to sea. ha been more dreaded than any other cape In the Western Hemisphere. The bottom of the ocean there Is strewn with the wrecks of vessels, and the great loss of life which has occurred there In marine disasters has well earned the place Its title. A powerful light gives some warning to the mariner by night, bnt by day the dangerous shoals, about which storms rage sometimes for weeks together, are only revealed by a line of foam-capped breakers. To prevent. If possible, further ship wrecks In the daytime, the Government has constructed a beacon, the only one of Its kind In the world, which It Is be lieved will do much In warning away ships and their crews. It is what is termed a "day beacon," and is built on solid steel rods, forming a skeleton structure, which will stand about forty feet above the water at low tide. The skeleton holds a huge cage of Iron, which It Is believed can be seen through glasses at a distance of fully ten miles. The question of fastening the struc ture securely In the treacherous sands at this point has been a great engineer ing problem. Four steel disks will be sunk to a point fourteen feet below tbe bottom, and filled with concrete. They are of such a sise that engineers be lieve they will form a huge anchor, pre venting the skeleton from being thrown over by tbe great force of the waves at this point. The framework alone weighs thirty tons, and was towed to Cape Hatteras regtlngon pontoons filled with air, which are forty feet long and seven feet In diameter. If the beacon Is successful. others are to be placed at different points on the coast. RECENT INVENTIONS. A New Yorker has patented a neat- looking gear case, consisting of a rub ber tube, split on its Inner face and stretched over the chain and sprocket wheel, with spreaders to open the tube as it runs around the wheels, allowing It to close over the chain as It passes from one sprocket to the other. An Improved valve for bicycle tire; Is formed of a tube extending Into the tire on one aide and having cone-shap ed shoulders at either end, with a stem In the tube having a head at each end to engage tbe cones, tbe outer head be log opened by the Insertion of tb pump, while tbe Inner bead opens au tomatlcally under pressure of the air, A new voting machine has a set ol levers for each office, operating num bered disks to register the vote, with a locking mechanism which fastens the set as soon as one lever Is used, repeat ing the operation for each set of candi dates. The levers are unlocked by the next voter stepping on the booth plat form. In a new bicycle propelling mechan ism the crank shaft carries a toothed wheel meshing in a second wheel mounted on a shaft close to the crank shaft, the power being applied to the face of the rear wheel by means of s friction wheel carried by the rear shaft Drawbridge openings can be automat ically closed by a new safety gate, formed of a pivoted bar set on a post at one side of the bridge and operated by a system of levers to close across the opening when the draw opens and open .gain as the draw closes.

Everyone goes to heaven afoot. It Is Christ who makes the Calvary. Yokes are made for two Christ and you. The heart Is tbe seat of all true culture. God's Son was without sin, but not without tempta tion. Ton can ride to bell fast enough with out putting your feet on the hao lie- bars. The hornets of doubt sting the soul of peace. Olnger-bread on your house, will not keep you warm. Slavery for God Is more noble than kingship over men. Tbe age of miracles may be past, but the age of power Is not. The unchanging love of Christ meets all our changing moods. Every man who sells the truth for gain Is a brother to Judas. A man with a mattock is greater than a monkey with a sceptre. We learn more from our own follies than from tbe wisdom of others. The stars of God's promises shine more brightly in the night of grief. Ton must love tbe King before you can obey the laws of the Kingdom. Tour criticism of wisdom may be tbe barking of a little dog at a stranger.
