The admiral laid both hands on his knees, and leaning over, looked so!- emnly into Mr. Toosypeg’s face. Reading no expression whatever in that "Book of Beauty" but the mildest sort of despair, he drew him- self up again, and grunted out an adjuration to “heave ahead." “Admiral Eavenful, would you oblige me by not saying that again?” said Mr. 'I-‘oosypegs. “You mean real well, I know; but it recalls unâ€" pleasant recollections thst I wish buried in obliVion.

Once again the perplexed admiral glanced at Mr. Toosypegs, but still nothing was to be read in those pal- lfd, freckled features, but the mild- est sort of anguish. The admiral was beginning to lose patience. “Belay there! belay!" he roared, bringing his list down with a tremenâ€" dous thud on his unofiending knee. “Come to the point at once, Orlando Toosypegs! What the dickens is the matter?" "Admiral Havenful, don't swear!" exclaimed Mr. Toosypegs, looking deeply scandalized. “I dare say you mean Well; but profane swearing isn't so edifying as it might be. I've a little tract at home that tells about a boy that told another boy to ‘go to blazes!' and three years after he fell out of a fourth-story window and broke two of his legs, and some of his arms. That shows the way pro- fane swearing is punished. I’ll bring you over the book some day, Admir- al Havenful, if you like; it’s a very interesting story to read about." The admiral fell back' with a groan. ”.I haven’t read anything lately but the ‘Lamcntations of Jeremi- ah,’ ” said Mr. Toosypegs. resuming his former objections; "it's very soothing to the feelings, though I can't lay it to heart so much as I dignantly; “there’s the way I'm abusâ€" would like to, on account of Aunt ed for taking my 0‘“ Pa";- Y9“?

"Yes, sir; and served him right. the old ghoul!" "Locked your teacher up?” “Yes, sir; teachers require locking up as well as pupils.” “Miss Lawless, it’s not possible that you have been guilty of such an outrageous act!" said the judge, with an awful frown. "Yes, it is possible,” said Pet, "and he deserves twice as much for what he did. 011, wouldn’t I like to be a. man for one blessed half hour, that I could horse-whip him. within an inch of his life!” “Good Heavens! what a visitation this mad girl is!

Admiral Havenful." “Avast there, messmate! avast!" growled the admiral administering a thump to his glazed hat. "Now, look here. When a. young man goes and falls into love with a young wo- man, what does he do? or, what do they do?” “I’m sure I don’t know, Admiral HaVenful," said Mr. Toosypegs, look- ing dejectedly at the carpet; “I nev- er, was in love before, you know, and it! Just the queenest feeling ever was. I never experienced anything like it before. It's not like the colic, or the toothache, or a cramp, or anything: you feelâ€"well, I don't know as I can describe it; but you kind of feel all over. And whenever I meet Miss Pet suddenly and she turns them two great black eyes of her's right on to meâ€"my gracious ! Admiral Havenful, the state it sets me into! Why, I actually feel as if I'd like to crawl out of the toes of my boots, or have the carpet open and swallow me up." ‘ . “Belay! belay!" said the admiral. impatitntly: "you're steering in the wrong direction altogether, Orlando. Now, look here; I asked you, ‘when a young man goes and falls in love with a young woman, what does he do?" and says you, ‘I don’t know, Admiral Havenl'uU Well now, look here; I'll tell you. When a young man goes and falls in love with a young woman, what does he do? Why, Orlando Toosypegs, he goes and marries her? That's what he does!" And hereupon the admiral adminis- tered another vigorous slap to his glazed hat, that very nearly stove in the crOWn of that ill-used head-piece: and leaning back in his chair, looked with excusable triumph and exulta- tion at Mr. Toosypegs. “They goes and gets married. That there's what they docs," repeated the admiral, folding his arms and loan- ing serenely back, like a man Who has settled the matter forever. “And now, Orlando Toosypcgs, in the words of scripturc”â€"llere the admir- al got up and took of! his llatâ€"" “go thou and do likewise.’ " "Admiral Ilavenful, I’m very much obliged to you, I'm sure," said the "lovycr,," ill a subdued tone; "but --but maybe she wouldn't have me. She might, just as likely as not, say ‘No,’ Admiral Havenful,” said Mr. Toosypcgs, mournfully; ”it's my luck always, to have the most dreadful things happen to me! I declare it’s enough to make a fellow mad enough to go and do something to himselfâ€" it actually is." ”Don’t now, Orlando, don't nOW,” said the admiral severely; it isn't proper, you know, and you really shouldn't. There's a proverb I'm trying to think of," said the admir- al, knitting his brows in intense per- plexity; "you know the Book of Proâ€" verbs, Orlando, don't you. Hold on, now, till 1 sec;.‘h‘ain’r-noâ€"â€"ycs, 'Fain heartâ€"fain heart never won a fair lady.’ " Again the old sailor rever- elltially removed his hat. “That's it, Orlando; ‘fain heart never won fair lady.’ No, look here; you go straight along and ask Firefly if she's willing to cruise under your flag through life, and if she lays her hand in yours, and says 'I'lll there, messâ€" math'Vly St. Paul Jonvs! we'll have such a wedding as never was seen in old Maryland since Culvert came OVer. Hoorah!” yelled the admiral, waving his hat over his head in an unexpected outburst of delight - that quite startled Mr. 'l‘oosypcgs. "Admiral llavcnful, I'll do it! I will. by granny!" exclaimed Mr. Toosypcgs, jumping up in the excito- ment of the moment. “I'll go right straight over to Heath lIilland ask her. Why, ,she actually might say ‘ch,’ after all. Oh my gracious! if she does, won't it be nice? What will Aunt Priscillcr say? Admiral Ha\'cnf|ll, it was real kind of you to advise me so, and tell me what . to do; and I'm ever so much obliged to youâ€"I really am," said Mr. Toosyâ€" pegs, bustling around, and putting on his hat, and turning to go. “Keep her to the wind's eye!" roared the admiral, in a burst of en- thusiasm, as he brought one tremenâ€" dous sledgeâ€"hammer fist down with an awful thump on the table. "Admiral Havcnful, it is my inten- tion to keep her to the wind's eye as much as possible," said Mr. Too- sypch, who comprehended the sen- tence about as much..ss.he..wonld s x v ljm very ‘much obliged . -â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€" m funeral ofa‘homW‘ now;,I'll come right back when it's ova. and tell you what she mid.“ CHAPTER XXVI.

Toosypegs did not look quite so pret- ty on horseback as some people might suppose; for he went jiggling up and down with every motion of his steed, and being remarkably long in the legs, his feet were neVer more than a few inches from the ground; so that, altogether, he was not the most dashing rider you would have selected to lead a. charge of caValry. But Mr. Toosypeg's was not thinking' ' of his looks just then, but of a far more Eportant subjectâ€"trying to screw courage to the sticking- point. The farther he went. the faster his new-found courage begun eating away. As the White Squall receded, so did his daring determine.- tion; and as the full extent of the missiou he was on burst upon him, s. cold perspiration slowly bum out on (its: face, despite the warmth of the “ ood gracious! it's going to be awful; I know it is!" exclaimed Hr. Toosypegs, wiping his face with the cuff of his coat. “And how I'm ever going to get through with it. I'm sure I don't’ know! If I only knew any young man that's in the habit of proposing, he could tell me how they do it, and then I wouldn't mind. But nowâ€"by granny! I've a good mind to turn, and go right back to Dismal Hollow. But, then, the Admiralâ€"what will he say? Well, I don't care what he says. How would he like to go and pop the question himself, I wonder? By gra- cious! I will go back. It's no use thinking about it, for I'd sooner be chaired alive by rattlesnake, and then kicked to death by grasshoppers, than go and tell Miss Pct the way I feel. I couldn't tell her the Way I feel; it’s the most peculiar sensation ever was. And them black eyes of hers! Land of hope and blessed pro- mise! the way they do go right through a fellow's Vest-pattern! How in the world so many men can man- age to get married is more than I know; for I'd sooner march up to the muzzle of a pistol while old Nick held the trigger, than go and do it! Whoa, Charlie! Turn 'ruund. I'm going home to Dismal Hollow!" Whir, whir, whir! came something, with lightning-like rapidity, over the soft heath. Mr. 'l‘oosypegs turned round; and there came Miss Pet herâ€" self, flying along like the wind, on her fleet Arabian, her cheeks crim- son, hcr splendid eyes blazing, her red lips smiling; her short, jetty curls flying in the wind she herself raised, her long, raven black plume just touching her scarlet cheeks; the red rings of flame flashing out in the sunlight from her dazzling eyes and hair. She was bewildering, dazzling, blinding! Mr. ’l‘oosypcgs had his breath completely taken away, as his heart had long since been, and at that moment fell more deeply. deâ€" plorably, and helplessly in love than ever. EVcry idea was instantaneous- ly put to flight by this little. dark, bright birdâ€"of-paradiseâ€"this blinding little grenade, all fire, and jets, and sparkles. "Hulloa, Orlando! Your very humble servant!" shouted Pot, as she laughingly dashed up, touching her hat gallanily to the gentleman. "How does your imperial highcsss find yourself this glorious day?" ”Aâ€"prctty miserable, thank you, Aâ€"I mean I ain’t very well, Miss Pct," said Mr. 'l‘oosypcgs, skimmer- ing, and breaking down.

I don't believe mustard poulticcs and tubs of hot water would do me tho first mite of good. No, Miss Pct, not all the hot water in all the hot springs that ever was, could do me the least good,” said Mr. 'l‘oosypcgs, firmly.

"It's real good of you, Miss Pet, I'm sure," said Mr. Toosypcgs, wine- ing. as the very thought of the hot brandy and cayenne brought tears to his eyes, "and i would be real glad to take your “flea, and brandy, on- ly what ails me can't be brought out in a rush.

Ottawa, Feb. 23,â€"Investigation is still proceeding into the accounts of the Militia Department, but it will be a couple of days before the exact amount of Arthur Martineau’s derai- cations are known.
