The sand faced cliffs rap steeply down to the beach, and now with a steadily rising tide the water was washing the ase of the cliffs. with the chill of the ap- | storm. Lem Peters by the | a lanterp bad searched the | will tat when they hear. about the | Rosy Dawn going ashore covered another muddy coin. "Gee, cap'n, this was a great thought of yours." "Yes--uh-uh-uhumph!™ The doughty little captain's voled ended in a shrill shout as the bow of the Rosy Dawn lifted high in the alt and then drove down with a mighty crash. The two startled adventurers were precipitated into the tank of mud, while the decrepit donkey engine gave | one horrid shriek and was still forever. When the two men faced each othet in the dim light of the smoky lantern thelr faces were plastered with mud, nad only their white, scared eyes werd visible each to the other. "Gone ashore, by grass!" shouted Lem Peters. "My poor Rosy Dawn!" groaned Cap tain Charlie as he clambered out on deck. As they stood there, peering up at the beetling cliff above, the cloads broke away from the moon and show: ed them that the stanch little schooner was bigh and dry on No Point beach. "We'll be the laflinstock of all Quank!" groaned the captain once more a8 he realized thelr painful posi tion, "It's the winimen folks I mind most," said Lema gloomily. And af that very moment laughter broke in ofi their despondent murmur: ings. With one accord they turned frightened faces toward the deckhouse of the schooner, to start back in affright as a broad glow of light shot up from the open companionway. Then appear ed two heads side by side. They were feminine heads: and they were follow ed by the substantial forms of Mrs. El. sle Bayles and Lem Peters' wife. And Mrs. Sayles abd Mrs. Peters were laughiug heartily, and when they saw the faces of thé mud bespattered ad- verrturers they jaughed more than ever. The doughty MNitle captain took ume brage and shook his fist angrily. "What does thiS mean, Hisie?™ he do- manded. Mrs. Sayles ceased her laughter for a moment. "Lizzie and me have found out that you two need girdeens," she explained.

When you and lem came nboard the iosy Dawn we was all settled down in the spare state room, and we've had a reel nice time enjoying how two ; men can rastie tain Charlie. I'm thinking Quank folks Len'll divide up won't their share?" he asked. oy "I reckon about one English pening apléce," answered Lem gloowlly. , J FROM AN OLD RITUAL. By Bliss Carman.
