when he saw that the lnrger rowbont
had been washed from the beach, but
there must have been nn inspiration In
that smile which persistently remained
in his thoughts, for he shoved out the
little clinker that he had built for his
solitary expeditions and started with
long sweeping strokes for the ennoe
that was more than half the time out
of sight. His powerful pulling, aided
by the wind, soon brought him to the
turbulent scene of rescue. Swells and
his companion were in the water cling
ing to the boat. Though the girl was
pale as death, she had the courage
of good blood and gave a faint cheer
ns Hob dropped alongside of them from
the top of a wave. Swells looked bluek
and only had sufficient grace to keep
his mouth shut.
"God bless and reward you, Mr. Wal
ters," exclaimed the girl fervently, us
Hob deftly swung her into the boat.
"Noun of that, sir." said he, as he
gave Swells n sound rap over the
knuckles, for he was making a frantic
effort to crawl over the side, "I am la
command this time and am going to
get my boat to shore. Three of us will
swamp her and there is no other way
but to tow you In, Mr. Swells. Just
bang on to the stern."
Then was the lover completely de
moralized. He grew profane in pm
testing that no one but himself should
take Miss Princely In. It was his right
and his duty. If anybody towed it
would be Hob Walters, and again
Swells attempted to clamber Into the
hoat. This time his efforts were ac
companied by a few buckets of water
and Hob became aggressive in e.vnest.
He choked Swells until he fust had
strength enough to hung on. put the
young lady to bailing and set out for
the bench, (j-i recovering his wind.
Swells was worse than ever and again
came near caps-i.iug the boat by trying
to get Into it. V.ob knew too wll what
xmis nt stake to temporize any longer,
Seizing Swell's wrists he knotted them
together with the anchor roire. drew
the line taut, handed It to Miss Prince
ly and told her to keep the fellow's
head above water If she wanted to.
Thus Hob brought them In after a hard
hnttle and a madder mnn than Swells
never crawled out of the water. His
chattering teeth prevented b: reliev

those unmistakable marks of gentility

"During the third year we were to
