It was a leaf or two from a heart and life I was going to unfold--a life in which my own .was strangely intermingled--a life whose every phase I knew by heart; for though she kept the inner leaves of her heart folded over its deepest feelings, I, even I, had once or twice passed beyond the penetrale further than which no other human soul had ever gained an entrance, neithe would they in the years to Come.

"I'm twelve, mother, and you were only fifteen when you were married; besides, Eddie don't want me to be his wife for a long time yet--not till I'm twenty-five." The allusion to her own early marriage quieted the mother, though the unconscious child did not know the happy hit she had made.

He immediately put on his proudest air; then, noticing that tbe other rooster did the same, he stepped closer to inquire, and soon found himself glaring pugnac'ously at that other fellow, who seemed ! Quite as defiant as himself. From looks it came to blows, and soon our rooster was indignantly lighting his own reflection. Occasionally be would strike the ventilator a very hard blow with his bill and be thrown back much astonished, only to return to the attack when he noticed that ' bis enemy apparently retreated. 1 This was kept up «at intervals for several weeks, until the rooster learned that more hard knocks than glory were to be got by keeping up jthe feud. Even now, after many j months on board, he occasionally re- , news the attack, but in a half- 1 hearted way, as if he knew he was { doing something silly. His name is "Dick," and when there is food ahead he answers to it like a gentleman.

He never strayed far from the gang­ way, and would come proudly strut­ ting back when called on board by one of the men. He is a very pugnacious bird, and in Ensenada started a fight between a dog and himself. The combat, witnessed by the whole ship's com­ pany, while productive of no harm side, was a most amusing sight, and consisted of dashes at the dog with occasional real blows on the part of the rooster, and much bark- lover to tbe feet of his chosen one. j CFarie to sleep and dream of her idol ' Over many a love {scene the moon- j (for such Edward Logan had grown light fell; over brave men and beauti-; to be), to bear through the coming ful women; over purple seas, and t.days a sweet, new happiness to carry voyagers sailing upon these seas; over 1 her young head almost regally as precious argosies a: d ships of war, j though the white brow, where his and over this beautiful womau, sit-1 kisses had been laid, was Um so sad and silent in the little cious than the brow of brown cottage on the heath.
