Q Ty what a stiif gale
T*V il > 9 to P uU
- ~ ~ against! 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

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

rate —and the happiest thr.*e weeks
went by, the married couple—Al fs sis

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.'"
"For life, Alf?" finished Dare, and
stole his arm round her waist, bending
down.
"Oh, Rexl—yes, for life, then," whis
pered Alf.

anxious you were about it, and so to

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.—

COLORS OF FLOWERS.
An Easy Method of Preserving Them foi
tin Indefinite Period.
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."

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car.
There in only one way to cure deafness,
and that is hy constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused byan inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
"eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
I imperfect.bearing, and when it isentire
i ly closed deafness is the result, and un
i less the inflamation can be taken out
j and this tube restored to its normal con
| dition, hearing will be destroyed for
' ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
eatarrah, which is nothing but an in
| flamed condition of the mucous surfaces,
i We will give One Hundred Dollars for

tluit cannot he cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
