The whistle of the iron hoise was not to be heard within many miles, and the passage of the coach between Dolgelly and Carnavon was the sole event of the day. Thero was one hotel and some half-dozen shops and other houses where lodgings were to obtained; but slight as was the ac- commodation, it fully equalled the demand, «Just the place for a fellow to be able to sketch without peo- ple coming to look over his should er," was thé comment of Hugh Carson, a' young drtist as he took his first stroll upon the sands. A tall; well-built fellow, with legs rather long for bis body and a face rather heavy in ropose, but bright and winning when he smiled. The tide was ont and a few fishermen were mending their nets and tarr- ing «their boats, and a lady and ehild wore down upon the rocks near the edge of tho sea. " A bright bit of color on these dark rocks," he said, "with the islund on the left and tho sea beyond and that abrupt headland ¢oming in --just the thing to begin with." Ho had his skelching-block under {his arm and his color box in his pocket, and, sitting down on the sand-hills set rapidly to work, For Ian hour and a balf ho worked stead- lily and then the bright bit of color and the child moved off to- ;wards the shore. Still he warked on at bis sketch, and almost startled when a shadow passed across his paper. He glanced up, and saw a girl of some twenty years old with u younger one of seven or eight,-- The child dropped the hand she was holding and camo foarlessly up. «Please may I look at your pic. ture 7" Ie nodded silently, and wont on with his painting, "0 cousin Amy; such a pretty picture! and there are you and me out on the rocks. Do look!" The girl glanced at the artist, bug neither by look nor motion did he gocond the child's request ; and then with a shrug of her shoulder she tarned away, and walked on slowly until followed by her cousin. #Whata bear Iam!" the young man said to himself. "I ought to have got up and grinned and taken off my hat, I suppose, #nd asked her to look at it; but its no use, I can't get on with women: I never can think what to say to them. [ have no doubt she thought mea perfect bear, And so I am. But I suppose it is my nature and ho went on with his painting. ¢ One o'clock ; il's time to go in to dinner. The tide is coming upand covering the rocks; I will finish it to-morrow morning." The nest day he worked until dinner and was greatly contented with the result. : «Jy will make a capital thing," he said, "I have been very Jucky with the lights. Ido think it will be the best thing I have done. His 'pleasure was a little marred by the fact that the two girls had again been out on the rocks, and had, on their return, passed close to him; but this time the child bad kept close to her cousin, «Qffended evidently," ,was his muttered comment, "and no wonder I wish Iwas notsuch a bear. The following morning he was late in starting for a stroll across the sands, Tho tido had already turn- ed, and thore are fow places on the coast where it comes in more rapidly than on the Barmeuth sands. - For a time its approach is so gradual that it can hardly be noticed ; but when it reaches that point it comes on with startling rapidity, «There are those girls on the rocks again," hae said and ho shaped his course so as to carry him to the right of them. IIe had not gone fifty yards along the edge of the sand when he heard aloud cry be- bind him. Ile looked round and saw that the elder girl, who was reading, bad risen from a camp-stool on which she was sittting, and that the child was on the rooks, already cut' off by a rapidly ingreasing stream of water. Thecry of the child on disgovering her situation was echoed by ber compariion, who was about to rush into tho water when Hugh ran up, - « All right little one!" he shouted f f 1 "There you are, asrightas pos sible," he said, as he put ber down ;. "but you must mind, missy, for the tides are very rapid here," "Thank youso very much, Sir," the elder girl eaid; "it is most kind of you." A The artist lookedsinto the flushed face of the girl,and the eyes in which the tears were standing, and bis habitual shyness fell upon him,-- Muttering something about its be- be | ing no odds &t all, be 'raised his hat, and, turning upon his heel, pursued his walk, "He isroally a bear," Amoy Her bert said, as sho hurried off with the child towards the sand-hills, pursued by the fast-rising tide; "and yet, by his voice, [am sure be could be very nice if he liked." Amy Herbert had no experience whatever with shy men, She was the only daughter of 8 wealthy Man. chester cotton-spinner, and Man: chester does not class shy men among. its productions. -She was accustomed to admiration for she was pretty and an heiress, and in both capacities made much of; but though a little wilful and wayward, from always having her own way, she was really unspoiled, and was as bright and loveable a girl us to be found in the metropolis of cotton. For tho next two days Hugh Car~ son missed the young lady and child from the shore, but several times saw the flutter of light-colored dresses high up bn the hills beyond Barniodth. "That rising tide has given her a fright' he said to himself, "and they have taken to the hilly, Rather a nuisance, because 1 have done with these flats and shall be doing fthe hills myself. However, they are extensive enough without our run. ning against cach other as we always seem to be doing here," In tact, as Hugh and his adquain- tance took their meals at about the same hour, and both came in at the very last moment before them, it is not singular that cach day they bad {either morning, afternoon, or even- ling, met at least once in the quiet little street ; and every time Hugh raised his hat, Miss Horbert bowed firigidly, and bor little cousin nodd- od brightly. Ouce when he passed the door of their! lodging, just as they were going in, the child ran across the road as her cousin entered and put her hand into bis and talked to him for two or three minutes, and convoyed to him the thanks of her mamma, who was not strong and did not go out, for having carried her across the tide. For the next three days Hugh Carson was engaged in painting a picturesque old farm house lying far on the hill. The subject was a good one, find he set to to produce a finished picture on the spot, and worked at it from early morning, as langas the light lasted, making his breakfast sod lunch of milk and bread and cheese obtained at the farm house, Upon the thi evening he was returning from his work, walking along the odge of the bill, looking down upon tho sua, ho when came upon the little girl lying upon the ground crying bit- t again erly. \ «Why little one what is the matter?" The child who Lad not hoard bim approaching leaped to her feet, and upon seeing who it was, a look of pleasure flashed across her tear-stain- od face. « Q, please, Sir, dabelp mel|-- Cousin Amey bas tumbled down the hill." « Good gracious, child, where bas she fallen 2" Hugh said in horror; for the spot where they stood was above one of the steepest slopes be- tween Barmouth ahd Harlech, « Down there, Sir; she was pick- ing a flower when she slipped; I can't get at her but I can seo her." And the child Jed the young artist plateau projected, and the faoo hill where Amey had fallen Was visable. The slope where she had slipped was very steep, byt became even steeper lower down Then a rocky ledge projected, and below it an abrupt precipice some fifty feet high Amey Herbert lay on this ledge,-- She had rolled down on to it, ind had evidently struck her bead:for she was insensibje. The 1:dge was three foot wide; and from the pasition in which the girl lay it was probable that at the first movement made as she came to she would roll over the edgo. a . E " Allright, little one; don't cry 3 | will get to cousin Amey. She bas hurt bersolf ; but I dare say she will bg oll right when I get to her." Hugh spoke. cheerfully, 'tat he 1 [was by no means sare that the girl {¥ was not killed. He looked ologoly |. toa point further on; where the THURSDAY, FEB, 10, 1881. at tho grassy slope, It was to slid down ;.but once down was no getting up again, He was fally a mile and a half from the town; bat he dare not run for aid, for if the | girl partly.recovered sho might be dashed to pietes before his retu It was evident that he must slide down to her, But the child Yuied him. He was afraid to send her to the village by herself, afraid to leave her alone on the top; besides; if they were to stop on the ledge till help came, it Would be much thore pleas. ant with the child there, hoth for Amy and himself, "Took here, Pussy," he said after a minute's thought, " will you be a good quiet little girl if I take you with me down to cousin Amy ?" The child nodded seriously, « Here goos, then," he said ; "now yon take hold of my hand verry tight; and we will go down as fast as we cen; then we'll lie down on the grass; you put your arms round my neck, and we will slide down," So it was done not without danger; but Hugh was strong aod steady ; and lying on his face, with one arm around the child, be hald on to the tufts of grass, and let himself slide as gontly as he could. StM his heart beat fast for an instant when on reaching the steepest point of the slopo they slipped down with a rush the last fifteen foot to the ledge where Amy lay, half over the brink of the sheer fall below. " Now, Pussy, you sit down quite quiet while I see to cousin Amy." Very anxiously the young artist lifted 1he girl's head from the grase. There was a little pool of blood below it, which had flowed from a wound just above the ear. He piit bis fing- ors to her wrist, and, after a minute of anxious suspense, he felt a very faint flickering pulse. "Thank God!" he murmured dev- outly. Then he took out a whisky-flask, and poured a few drops between the clenched teeth. Again and again he did this, the child all the time site ting perfectly quiet, and watching with quiet frightened eyes. Present- ly the girl sighed faintly. "Take hold of cousin Amy's hand," Hugh said, "and when you see her open her eyes speak to her gently. Tell her to lie still ; put your face close to hers, so thatshe may see you when she opens hor eyes." Hugh was sitting on the ground supporting the girl; whoes head rest- ed on his shoulder. Presently there was a movement of the eyelids, and then slowly and languidly tho eyes opened, " There, cousin Amy, you are bot. ter now. Lie quitequiet. You have hurt yourself, and must be very good." The eyes oxpressed recognition and a faint wonder, and then closed again, Hogh waited a little and then poured a few more drops of td whisky between herlips. This time the eofféct was mere decided. She moved, shook her head ani tried to avoid the mouth of the flask. Then sho looked up again. . What is it?' she said faintly. What are you doing ?" Where am 3 iad ; "You must be quiet and good," tho child said positively. " You must not move Lhe gentloman says 80." > This time the speech wagvaguely understood, for she looked beyond the child's face. to that of Hugh; closed her eyes again, asif she doubted them ; looked again, and then made an effort to raise her head. Then Hugh spoke gently, but decidedly. «My dear young lady, you must lie quite quiot. You have fallen down and burt yourself, and you are faiut and weak. And you are quite safe where you are, bit you cannot more, for youars on the side of a bill, and must wait till heip comes. Your cousin is here with you, Kiss ber, Pussy." Amy Herbert listened in a sort of confysed wonder. She did not un- are, Cousin Amy you shall curl lay your head againet: side, and I dont think "But 1 wan' sup bed," x " Ah you can't have night, Tda; bal and I expect that ma will send peopleout to look for 3 and then we shall hear them and we shall shout back again; then they'll come with ropes, and up we shall go to top. Now shall 1 tell you a story #0, yes, please," Ida said, del ot ed. : « Will you sit quite by me then? and when you feel sleepy you just lay your head down and go off ta sleep. I will go on with my story till you're asleep; but we must talk very low, else we shall wake cousin Amy." Foran hour he told. storids of fairies and enchanters, and then the little head leaned gently against his waistcoat, and in five minutes stopped in the middle of his narifive, Then Amy Herbapt spoke : "Jam not nsleep; I have theen awake for some time, and have been thinking. You are the gentleman who rescued Ida off the rocks, are youn not ?" " Yes," Hugh said. #1 thought so. Now, please how came you and Ida bere, and why don't we go home ?" "You rolled down a steep grasy slope on to a ledge. You struck yous head in falling, and were insensible for a time. I came up, and should have ran of for ussistance, but I fears od if you moved before I came back you would fall over another fifty feet 80 I took Ida and slipped down to you." "Can't I move?' the girl asked presently. " Are youn uncomfortable ?" " No," she said shyly, "Then you bad better lie still," Hugh said decisively. * The ledge ig very narrow, and you aro weak, land [ dare say giddy, for you lost a great deal of blood, So you really might hfall over if you sit up. With my arm around you, you are quite safe." [ro BE coNTINUED. ] 'Bickles' Break. Way 4 Max wouLp HAVE av A TrorsAxn Dovrars ro see Mes Bicxras.
