Anil such a dark r -' "_3 night, except for T" T the flashes of sheet lightning. But I guess I'll fitul my way across the Broad to Barton Staith right enough. And here I ain I do believe at the end of this blessed, long, dark river at last! Yes, that white thing ashore must be the ice house. Air, my dear fellow, this is hard work, and no mistake." You might certainly nave thought the self-ad dressed words came from mustached lips, the more if you noted . the long, powerful stroke of the sculls and perfect form of the rower, but it was a "she" fellow —not a "he" at all, and a very pretty one, too, dressed in white and red boating "togs"—as she would have said. A tall, slight grl of nineteen or twenty; muscular, lissome, bubbling over with healthy vigor and high spirits. The wind shrieked and poured over the great drearily dark expanse in al most a hurricane, so wild were its gusts, as the rower got fairly out into the Broad by slow degrees, the water -ifuite roughened into "white ponies," if not "white hors< .us she mentally put it, when the sea-built boat shot and danced over the foam-capped wave lets. "Boat a-hoy!" Suddenly on the roar of the gale cirtne that call—a man's voice, full and mellow, from somewhere away on her port bow. "A-hoy, there!" she called back at once, and altered her course immedi ately for the direction of the voice— some one in distress, of course, she thought She knew that she was not far from one of the great bedsof rushes that abound, and the next momenta shimmer of sheet Hghtning that illum ined the whole scone vividly for a Sec ond showed her that she was right She caught a glimpse, too, of what seemed to be a boat with something white in it by the rushes. "Some fellow's lost his oar, perhaps, and got stranded in the reeds helpless," muttered Alf, pulling a\Vay with the wind now on the starboard quarter. "Easy to reach him; lmt to get off the lee-shore again won't be a joke—there lie is." For she could just discern a tall fig ure in a white dress standing up—of course, in a boat, for larnl there was r.one. Alf headed straight for that wdiite-flannelcd figure, aiitl in tliree minutcs liud shipped her sculls and let the wind send her boat alongside the stranger's; and now at close quar ters she could distinguish that ho was young man, perhaps some seven years her senior—handsome, and a gentle man. "If I had dreamed it was a girl whose oar's plash I heard," he said, baring his curly hea l as he bowed, evidently utterly vexed with himself, "I would not have called for the world. lam so sorry—so vexed." "On my account, you mean,"said Alf, laughing, as frank and fearless as a boy, not an atom of feminine soif-eon sciousne.ss; "don't bother yourself at dl 1, then; we're all brethren in sports Yop'd help mo out of a fix, and 1 you, so what's the matter?" Ho began to laugh; lie couldn't help t, and did not try to, either. Sh • was such a delicious "cure," and so pretty; he saw at once the sort of girl she was, And took her on her own free and easy, boy-like ground. "It's too good of you to cotno to the rescue, and such a gale, too; but the ;ruth is that lam hors do combat. My '.eft wrist has had an ugly wrench this evening that has' strained, if not sprained it." "Boor fellow—so that you can't row. How did you do it?" "Well, I was pulling about here (1 only arrived at Barton to-day) when somehow I disturbed a big, fierce, black swan." "That brute?" exclaimed Alf, '"it ought to be shot 1 , it's so savage and has attacked several people." "Has it? It's an old enemy, then?" said the young man in surprise. "To be sure. Step over into my boat and sit down in the stern. That's it," as he obeyed, nothing loth—what man would have been? "So that creature went for you?" "Rather!" said he. "I beat him off with an oar, but as a farewell he caught my wrist in his beak and gave it a wrench that made it desperate pain to get along as far as opposite this— two hours ago that was—then the wind . veered and- stiffened suddenly and 1 had to give up and let the gale drive me into these reels and wait the slen der chance of help from some passing boat, else spend the night out here." "Cold, starved and in pain; poor fel low!" said Alf, with true woman's pity. "That would have been too horrid, and I'm awfully glad 1 did stop so long up the Ant. There hasn't been a boat but mine out for hours —too galey; so you'll have to be my passenger," nodding brightly, "in spite of your masculine pride and chivalry." "No, no; it's too shamefully madden ing!" exclaimed the ypung man, ve hemently. "I can't do it I sit at ease and let a girl pull with the extra weight, or try to, against such a hurri cane? Impossible! I'll stop here till—" "No, you won't, siree," interrupted the young lady, coolly, her bare elbows on her knees, her chin in one shapely, brown hand; she was brown us a berry altogether. "You'll hear reason and obey orders, as man always should from woman—see? I'll wait perforce till there is a short lull in the hurricane, "because to get the boat off in it is im possible. " "Hut," he began eagerly, "Barton may not be—" "Oh, all right. Mr. Incounu, Barton Staitli is also my port, 1 am lodging with iny imarried sister and her iius baud; they da nothing but stupid fish ing. at a farm close by—'Rose Tree Farm.*" "Why, that is where I came to lodge to-day!" exclaimed the other, in joyfu* surprise. "Some friends of mine recom mended it, and 1 caiue on the chance of finding a vacancy. My name is Dare, if 1 may introduce myself." *'Thanks, and mine is Alf Ilesseldine. I was baptized Alfreda, but I've always been called Alf." "No wonder," said Dare, laughing. "It is peculiar, but the very name for you, 1 should say." "Ha! ha! that's what they all say. Now I'll try to get off, but I'm afraid your boat must be left to its fate till to-morrow. Towing it —" "Left!—of course, Miss Ifesseldino! its loss or not is a mere question of paying its value," said Dare, aghast at the very idea of her having to tow it. "It makes me wild enough to tax a girl at all for me." "Mr. Dare, are we to be friends or foes, please?" demanded Alf, severely— at which he laughed and humbly begged forgiveness. Well, he would steer. "You'll pain your wrist, which I'll doctor for you at home." "You arc too kind. No, I'll use my right hand. Stay— I can give a shove against my boat in lieu of shore so that your scull can get a dip." Between them, with much difficulty, they got the boat clear of the lee shore of rushes on which the wind strove to drive her back. Alf got her nose rouud and then in good - earnest began the hard-fought and even perilous voyage acruss the llroad, in the very teeth of the strong gale that simply poured over tire expanse of ilat land and water. "A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together," said Alf, bending to her oars with all her strength; but the man, forced to sit inactive, set his teeth hard, as he saw that the boat "inched along," s in ply moving whilst the oars were dragged through the water; dead still while ttiey were carried back for the next pull. The work would have taxed his man's powers —he had done such work often—much more, therefore, a girl's, however strong and skilled. Alf had too, to increase the actual distance in reaching the channel up to Barton Staitli, so as to avoid the submerged reeds which abound, and also to avoid getting full broadside to the gale. "You are getting fagged," Dare said at lrr.t. "No, it's all right; we're in the cliar nel now." She pulled on doggedly. All the wa.y across she had scarcely spoken, for such hard row ing needs one's breath husbanded all the time—a solid forty minutes from start to finish. The rolls of distant thunder and gleams of sheet lightning had increased, but the latter served them well in the dark night, es pecially in reaching the staith. "Thank goodness! —here we urc," Alf said, as with one last long pull that ran the boat up alongside the rude landing place, she shipped her sculls and sat still, whilst Dare sprang ashore and lashed the painter to an iron ring in the ground, then held out his right hand to her. "You urc dead fagged, I'm afraid,' lie said, anxiously, as she stepped out, boat-hook in hand. "Only a bit tired," said she, pluekily, "though it was tough, I'll allow, and I've been a good way to-day. Don't you worry about me. I'm all right, thanks." For, of course, he took her boat-hook and offered his arm, which she took in tactful courtesy, and so feeling quite like old comrades already iii DEFTLY lUU XI) IT WITH LINEN. they walked on to the farm, where her relatives and the landlady received both with acclamation. They had been so anxious, alike for Alf and the new lodger who had arrived and gone out in their absence. Ilow odd that Alf should have come to the re cue— how fortunate! Of course, he must be their guest to supper. And Alf, after examining his wrist, said it was only a strain, and deftly bound it with linen soaked in arnica, and promised that in two or three days he should "pull to kingdom come if he liked." ■ lie didn't do that exactly, but it is needless to saj that the fraternisation begun i*i sutli a gale went on in glor | ious sunshine—metaphorically, at any rate —and the happiest thr.*e weeks went by, the married couple—Al fs sis ter and brother-in-law—fishing, the un wedded couple in their boat, "all over the broads like regular water-birds," declared the landlady of the farm. One evening when after dark they landed at the staith, after a long stiff puff, both rowing, A If, as she stepped ashore to his side, said, laughingly: "Well, Rex, this time it was really 'a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together.'"

I ha 1 set my heart upon having such an apartment, and fortunately the pa per of my room was a neutral tint. Not being 1 satisfied with the border I bought two pieces of a decided blue paper at a cost of forty cents. This I cut in half, the paper being- too wide to suit my idea. I then pasted it over the old border, being- careful that the edg-e of iny blue paper should touch the edg-e of the ceiling-, and this I fin ished with a narrow g-ilt border which I pasted on the ceiling-. A carpet cov ered the floor, as the boards were un equal in width. I procured from the manufacturers a plain bedstead, bureau, wardrobe with nickel-plated knobs and locks, and two of the plainest kitchen chairs, without painting* or finishing- of any kind. I g-ave each piece in the set two coats of blue paint and a coat of var nish, and had the g-lass in the bureau ehaug-ed to French plate. An old wicker rocking- chair was painted white and ornamented with pink and blue ribbons. The bedspread and bolster case were made from ordinary twelve-cent scrim, having- baby ribbon run through the lace stripes. The stationary washsta/id was hidden by a common three-fold screen. The cover ing- for Ihis, as was also the window drapery and chair cushions, was of fine China silk of pink and blue. The shade for the standing- lamp, made from crinkled paper, the bureau scarf and g-love case were all of the shades of pink arid blue. The beauty of this room, completed at a cost of seventy five dollars, can hardly be imagined.— Laurie Duckett, in Ladies' Home Jour nal. NEEDLEWORK BAGS.

It is over a quarter of a century since the following*appeared in the Harden ers' Monthly. Coining* hack again to America after its long travel, it is still worth republishing. "The following ancient method, which comes from America as new, may be worth repeating and trying: Take very fine sand, wash it perfectly clean, and when dry sift it through a fine sieve into a pan. When the sand is deep enough to hold the flowers in an upright position, take some more sifted sand and carefully cover them. A spoon is a good thing to take for this, as it fills in every chink and cran ny without breaking or bending the leaves. When the pan is filled solidly, leave the flowers to dry for several days. It is a good plan to warm the sand in the oven before using it, as the flowers will then dry more thoroughly. In taking the sand off. great care must be taken not to break the leaves, as they are now dry and brittle. Pansies preserved in this way will keep their shape and brilliancy of color all win ter, and many other flowers can he equally successfully treated any thing, in fact, where the full pressure of the sand comes on both sides of the leaf; otherwise they will shrivel. To fill in flowers with cup-lilce shapes it is better to lay them on the sand, and with small spoon fill in and around each flower. Ferns when preserved in this way have a more natural look than when pressed, and the maiden hair fern looks almost as well as when it is freshly gathered." I or Sprains or Strains.
