A storm bursts with sudden fury. Frank's presence of mind saved the vessel from col- lision with a steamer. They arrive home for Christmas. CHAPTER SEVEN--(Cont'd.) Mrs. Westhaver was standing in the porch when uncle, nephew, and Jules trudged through the snow up to the door. Who can express the motherly admiration which filled the good lady's eyes as she greeted her boy hack from his first voyage deep water; the hug- gings and kissings, the incoherent greetings and laughter; and the joy of the home-coming. Shorty felt that it was worth while, felt that it was to be alive and to be home again. He surveyed the old familiar furnishings of the cosy house with a sense of Jheastre he had never felt before, and n the ecstasy of the greetings he for- got the little sea-waif lingering in the hall. ¥ "Ho, mother!" he cried after the first flush of the salutations were past. "IT. 'most forgot little Sabot! Here, Jules--come an' meet mal This is the little chap I was tellin' you about in my letter, Jules Gallarneau is his pame--"' The tears came into the French boy's brown eyes when he received a kiss and a hug from the sympathetic Mrs, Westhaver. "You poor. child," she said in a voice tender with com- passion for the little foreign orphdm. "Come up an' set ye by th' fire; Fm glad Frankie brought ye with him--" "Why, t' be sure, ma," interrupted Shorty. "I wouldn't leave Sabot be- hind in Gloucester not for anythin'. Men Sabot's goin' dory-mates laber "Aye, an' 'tis a handful any €kip- I have with you two in his gang," hed Uncle Jerry. "But never mind, boys, you ain't so very bad. Draw to, Jules an' Frank! Here's some grub that wants punigshin', an' I callate we're th' boys what kin do it. Eh, Jules 7" And Jules, the runaway Breton fisher-boy, hospitably treated on every hand, and solicitously. waited upon by the kindly widow, felt that his cup of joy was overflowing. 'Merci, merei, madame," he murmured. "Je suis tres! heureux--ver' happy, ver' please'-- tan you ver kind," Chrietmes morning broke clear, cold and sunny, and the boys were astir early overhauling their presents--/| little Jules especially being in trans-| pre of delight with: the little things! received.

And with shouts and yells the two boys scampered all over the house until Uncle Jerry, disturbed from his glumbers, drove them back to their room. The week passed in a round of visits and festivities, and every house from Port Stanton to Long Cove was an open "Liberty Hall" to all who enter- and as a friend of the redoubtable Shorty the French lad was a friend of Lem's also. And Carnie Dexter ? Well, she constituted the prime reason for the various occasions on which Jules had to look after himself. When Shorty brushed his hair with extra care, donned his best tie, and scrub- bed his hands, then Jules knew that he was bound off upon a visit, when he --Jules--was invariably-told "to knock aroun' an' enjoy himself for a spell." These were daily occasions, too, and Sabot wondered if they were part of some religious rite until he stumbled upon the pair one evening while walk- ing up from the Ring's house. shuffled under Jule's open-eyed stare.

"Yes?" Jules spoke quietly. "S'pose some oder boy come an' be ver' great fren wit' Mees Dexter--you lak dat, eh? Frank's brows wrinkled. "No," he said, - "I wouldn't like that----" "Den you love her ver much---" Yon Tove "n ay és her, Shortee 2" Jules laughed. "Oh course you do! I see dat right away. You love her ver' much.

They left for Gloucester again dur- ing the first week of the new year; and after a couple more haddocking trips they fitted out for the long spring salt Banking trip. .On: this voyage they only carried an eight- dory gang--sixteen men, cook, skipper, and the two boys. Nine dories were taken along, and during the fine, smooth days upon the grounds Shorty ang dulgs manned the extra dory and made the set, and by the time they had "wet the salt" and swung off for home both lads were competent to go in the dory and haul from port, did not keep the de all that time, as many days were lying to anchor in the bait Ports of St. Pierre in Mi y coves on the" foundland, but the lo ns, hu ng spell and. various e , vilion Lumbago and Gout by New pi he Life Remedy. 1 testimoni- pact ed. - Jules was introduced to Lem Ring ng, laughed joked more than an of them, yet, in uncle said, he had "more' bra than th' whole ship's company." i The years passed rapidly for the and before he was fully aware of | Shorty blushed very red and hel. s0, Souris, the Magdalen Islands, - 1 "Ocast 'of New- ax been a thorough one both as his chosen vocation and his i years of age Franl man singularly endowed.
