Kate had lost her husband and only child of contagious fever during tho winter, and I was alono during tho absence of my liego lord upon a business trip to Germany; BO WO were desirous of avoiding the crowds at gay watering places, and spending a summer in seclusion and comfort. Star Point, ICato wroto mo in June, aftor alio had been thcro three woeks, was almost a solitude, whero wo could sew, road, write and chat without fear of intrusive visitors, and whero sea air could be onjoyed without the necessity of ten or a dozen changes of dress in ono day. So one July morning found as sauntering along the little strip of beach between two high rocks, talking qnietly. As wo stood looking out upon the water, calm and sunny, rolling in with curling waves, thero passed us the prettiest trio I have ever seen. The central flguro was an immonse dog, black and shining, with long curling hair. Upon each side of him was a golden-haired boy, of tlireo years old, dressed only in a close-fit ting suit of scarlet fiannel, which left the round white arms and logs bare, l'ho little chubby feet pattered by the side of tho groat dog, tho little hands holding fast to his shaggy black sides, till with a merry shout tho boys plunged into tho water, aud swam out from Bhore. They were buoyant as little ducks, sporting in tho waves, and evidently at home therq, but tho great dog watohed them constantly, ready to catch either, if the curling golden hair should sink for a moment. "Did you ever see anything so pretty?" I cried. "I knew you would say so,". Kate answered. "I havo seon thorn every morning. They live in tho cottage you see beyond that great rock, with a young mother as pretty as themselves, and an old man, who I presume is thoir grandfather." But tho occupants of tho cottago wero nearer than Kate supposed, for as she ceased speaking, a suppressed chusklo behind us made us both look round with a start, to face tho pretty young mothor and the venerable old man, who said respectfully : "Beg pardon, ladies, for langhing, bnt," and a broad grin spread over his whole face, "those are my boys. This is my wife, Margie." Margie blushed and dropped a cour tesy. "John is so proud of tho boys," she said, as if apologizing for her hus band's tono. "Well he may bo," I said ; "they are beautiful children. Aro you not afraid when thoy aro in tho water?" "Oh, no; Bover goes with them al ways, and they were taught to swim as soon as to walk." "The ladies aro wondering, Margie, how you are my wife, ami not my daughter," said the old man. "You can tell them while I go down to tho nets. I'll bring the lads in, if tho ladies will rest aftor thoir walk." Margie half bashfully led tho way to tho cottage, and gavo us each u scat in tho neat sitting-room. Whon wo were near tho house we saw that it was a pleasant sized dwelling, mado by throwing two little cottages into cue, and tho furniture and appointments proved that tho occupants were in easy circumstauoos. With truo coun try hospitality, Margie offered us fruit, cako and milk, and Kate, while eating, delioately led tho conversation back to the point whero John had left it. "Well," said Margie, blushing prettily, "John seems always to think that it looks odd for me to bo his wife, when I am but twenty-four and ho has tnrnod sovouty; bnt nobody that kuows him can wonJer at it. You see, my father lived in tho half of this cot tage, when it was two houses, and John Martin, that is my husband, lived in the other half. I was but a bit of a girl when my mother died, and I used to go with father and Uncle John, as I called him then, everywhere. They wero both fisher men, as all the men aro around here, and both made enough money to live on in comfort. But twice a week we took fish to market at M—, whero tho train stops, four miles inland." Kate nodded to signify that sho knew the locality mentioned, from which point wo had been driven in a cab hired at the town, to Star Point. "You may havo noticed," said Mar gie, "a large brick house on tho right ot the road, just alter you loavo tlio town?" We had both noticed it. "Hero father and Unclo John al ways stopped to leave fresh fish as wo went to town, and I was very often in vited to stay all day to play with the children, Anna and Frederick Hall. I must tell yon here, that my mother was not from this part of the country, but had lived in Philadelphia, and had come to Star Point for her health tho summer she met my father and I married him. She had a sister living | in Philadelphia, and when I was ten years old, my aunt wrote to father to send mo to her for a few years, that I might have an education. When Mr. Hall heard of this, ho | made arrangements to sond Anna also, and for six years wo wero at boarding school in tho city, my homo being at my aunt's during the holidays. Slio was very kind to me, and X was very happy, bnt I was very glad to come home again to father, Unelo John and the sea. I can never tell you how I fretted for tho sea. But in tho six years that I had been away, father had grown very feeble, depending moro and moro upon Uncle John, anil grow ing weaker ovory year. "So it was that I began to carry tho fish to M—, and we started a little cart and pony for tho journey to and fro. I was young, and when Fred llall, who was only fivo years older, began to smile at me, and find excuses for lingering at tho cart, began to to the cottago for partic ular fish on days that wero not market days, nobody fouud fault. X was bnt u jioor fisherman's daughter, itistrne, and his father was a wealthy manu facturer at M—, but we wero nil equals in position, for this is a primi tive jilaee, and I never knew anything about high and low, or money making ono better thau another, excepting whilo I was iu Philadelphia. "But though Fred Hail was young and had been to collogo, though ho woro handsome clothes and had money, I never cared for his fair whiskers and bright face as I did for Uncle John's white hairs aud gentle'voice. I never thought of love. I only knew that I was happy with Unclo John, and mis erable away from homo. I was teen when, one morning, I went with Unclo John to fish from a rock wo call tho Camel's Back hereabouts. Thoro wore but few who fished thero, for it is a dangerous point, though tho fish are plenty iu tho hollow beneath it. You see, it was a high arching rock; and hung over the water, which was very deep directly under it. To pull up a net or a line, ono must almost hang over tho e.lgo of tho rock, and below tho waters suck tho fish down, so that it requires a strong arm to pull thom in. "Duclo John and I, however, often fished there, though ho never allowed me to pull the fi3h in. But upon this particular day Fro 1 Hall joined us as wo wero going across tho sands, and Uncle John kept a little aloof. Ho thought wa wero lovers, nnd never kept very near mo when ho fanciod Fred was courting. Aud I did not un derstand then why this vexed mo. On this day it nettled ma moro than over, and whon I felt a strong pull at my lino, instond of calling Unelo John to help mo, I leaned over tho edge of tho rock and tried to land my own fish. For a moment I suoceedod in holding tho line, then thoro was a sudden Btrong jerk, nnd losing my bal ance, I went ovor the Camel's Back into the water. I could swim, but iu falling I struck my head against a point of tho rook, and lost my con sciousness. "Fred stood still and screamed, but dear Uncle John, nover thinking of Iris own danger, ran round tho rook, aud, at tho base, plunged into tho deep water aftor me. I cannot tell how wo escapod, but I was dragged ashore by Undo John, and Fred had senso enough to run to tho houso for the pony aud cart. It was many days before 1 could go for lish again, Jnt in thoso days I know that I loved Johu Martin, that for his sako I could leave all tho world, if it would muko him happy. But I know, too, that ho looked upon mo as a more child, his old companion's daughter, and I blushed at my own presumption in thinking ho would ever love uier. "I did not know then that John Martin had once been a gentleman of wealth aud standing, had traveled in Europe, had studied in foreign col leges ; but I did know that ho was an iiko any of tho other lishermen at Star Point., even my own father. He first taught mo to speak correctly, avoiding all the provincialisms of the people around us, and ho would tell me of sights abroad, that I supposed ho had read of, instead of having seen them. Once ho told me that a false love, a false friend and sudden loss of worldly wealth had first driven him to Star Point, hut that ho had found rest and peace hero, and hoped to die here. I never asked him any more. '•I was getting well of my injuries, when my father was takeu suddenly very ill, aud for two years I nursod him, throngh a gradual deoliuo of his whole system, till ho died. When he died there came a desolation into my lifo beyond oven my orphanhood. "I must leavo Star Point. My aunt wroto mo to como to her, promising mo a loving welcome aud a homo. Fred Hall, in tho face of tho approach ing separation, asked rao to bo his wife, but John said nothing. Hay af ter doy I lingered, keeping with mo tho woman who had attended to our house after my father's illness required all my time. Hay aftor day I saw John, with his pale, sad faeo, his tender, subdued manner, and ho never spoke tho words to keep mo beside him. "With a breaking heart I felt that I must go. Tho stifling city, tho rou tine of fashionablo life at my aunt's, tho exile from homo and tho ocean, all pressed upon mo, and Fred urgod his suit whenever he could. "Weary aud heart sick. I went oue day to tho Camel's Back to bid faro well to the sea, for I had rosolvod to go away tho next day. I was standing on the edge of tho rock, when, looking down, I saw John Martin at tho base, sitting upon a rock, his head bowed npou his hands, his wholo frame con vulsed with deep sobß. "I knew then ho loved me. I can not tell how I know it, bnt I was Buro then, as I am now, that ho was weep ing for mo. It took me but a moment to skirt round tho rock and stand bo side John. I never thought atont bo ing unmaidenly or bold. I never re membered that he had not spoken ono word of love to me. I only knew that tho coming separation was broaking his heart as well as mine. I knelt down besido him, and put my arms about his neck. " 'Oh, John,' I said, 'don't let mo go! Keep me with you.' " 'Margie, little Margie,' he said, 'I would gladly keep you, if I could.' "Ihen ho looked in my face, and said: "'•No, no. X am an old fool, dream ing, mad! Tho child cannot lovo mo.' "But I do lovo you," I said, cling ing closer to him, "and you lovo mo. Anil now nobody can tako mo awny." "Bnt, Margie," ho said, very grave ly, "thero is but one way you can stay. You must bo my wife, or I can not keep you hero." "I know it, John," I said. "Your wife! To cook for yon, sow for you, lovo you!" "But Fred Hall?" 'iFred Hall 1" I said, contemptuous ly. "He is nothing to mo, John. You aro nil tho world." "ifour nunt?" "She can adopt somebody else." "Yon sec," said Margie, laughing and blushing, "X was doing all tho courting, but thero was a look in John's eyes that told mo ho was plead ing against his own heart, and that ho loved mo even when, for my sake, ho thought it right to send me away. "Ho insisted upon my going to Philadelphia for a year, to test my own heart, and then, when I was homesick and wretched, ho camo to me. "Ho know then I loved him for nil my life, and be loved me, dearer ovon than ho had lovod tho woman who was false to him in his youth. So we wero married, and came to Star Point, to tho homo whero I was born, and whero X hopo to die." Hero the sound of laughing voices reached us, and lookiDg out, we saw tho golden-haired twins, all glowing and driping, coming over tho sands, ono astride of tho black dog's back, the other upon his father's shoulders. Tho old man was prnocing liko a horse, tho dog barking and trotting besido him, and tho twin boys shouting end laughing till the air rang with their merriment. Wo roso to go, thanking Margio for her story, and firmly convinced that there was ono woman in tho world who, for true love's sake ulone, is an old man's darling.—New York News. Four Fcot ot Snuw iu Eight Hours. "X havo seen four feet of snow fall in eight hours," said Conductor Cobb, of tho Maiuo Central, Thursday, "and yet it was so light that you could wade through it just as you can through water. "It was in tho Sierra Nevada Moun tains—a sort of frost-liko snow that falls in tho night, burying everything. Twelve feet away from another man you can just see him, with a sort of halo around him as though somewhere tho sun was shining through the storm. In theso storms it is impossiblo to tell direction or distance. Ono is simply lost when only a short distance from camp. "In tho morning wo walked down into town. Ono man went ahead breaking tho snow, which camo nearly to his armpits, us he moved through it. Ho would tread until tired, when ho would drop to tho rear and some ono else would lead tho procession. As wo walked into tho valley it grew less, and down below in the town there had been no snow and all tho time the sun or tho stars hail shone.

It is conceded that the Royal Raking Powder is the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow der makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome food. Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble ? Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome. Certain protection from alum baking powders can be had by declining to accept any substitute for the Royal, which is absolutely pure. The Hair.
