"Well," pulled the captain, "nothing to do now but to get rid of the old sextant. 1 should go ashore next time if I mid two sextants to navigate by. Muvt work the old oil on sonic landlubber or soincbod v." The package was lying on an old newspaper which he hud read through and thr-nigh on his last trip out. " I he very thing!" said lie. "I'll put a notice in the paper?'Sextant for sale, cheap,' and if somebody don't bite at it, 1 miss my guess." The next morning the only thing the captain could see in the paper was this: Sextant foraalo by a slop captain, iuirlv 11 civ an I in pjrfect orler; will l>j sjII cheap. AiliirussO,, 41 (Slob; oHieo. And now my story's begun. lCtta Bourne had been at work in a millinery tore in Boston for nearly two years. She and her older sister Annio had learned the trade with the village milliner down in Kennebunk. lint Annie, who had long been the belle of tin village, got married, and Kit a concluded to try her fortuuo in Boston. She was full of ambition. So it fell that in her two years in tho millinery store she stu lie 1 shorthand an 1 ty| e vriting, with tbc intention oi i. img lierseb* to lit u confidential dark. Oa Sua lay she saw this advertisement : For Sa!> ? Frontier Typewriter at hali price, be at use 1 less than a in anth; in perfect on hi*. Addres-. < I? Globe otli.-e, ICtta Bonnie, being a Maine Yankee, knew a bargain when she saw it. She wanted to own a typewriter, and so she wrote a brief note addres-e I to "O., 47 (Jlobc (hiice," a king where the machine could by v01.11, and dropped it. into the letter box as she went to work Monday morning.

That was a very, very little mistake, of course, But sou who have noticed how things go ;u this world of ours have discovered tha* the most serious changein the course of our lives co;uj about from just sin it little happenings, Foi it w;t< that very day that Captain Sprowl advertised his sextaut for sale. Anrl Captain Sprowl was "O 41." Kflw the tali captain was a very busy rutin, nnfT it w;-j Fate that afternoon befote he went to the office to gather in the replies from people who wctc anxious to buy a sextant. Hut the - extant market was apparently rather dull, for all tho clerk could give him wut one solitary letter. The captain tore the envelope open and tossed it aside. "1 saw your advertisement in the Globe," rend the captain. "I wish to buy a good " Oond-hand machine of t'uidar I make, and if the one you offer if in perfect repair and the prion is satisfactory, pet haps ?\e can trade. But. 1 cannot give uiore than $5.1, and it you . ?Hi . - .1 ask more you need not reply to this Send jour address, stating where ma chine can be seou, to II. K. Bourno, 451 Wiuter street." 'Well," toliloquiied the captain "IV# got ooc answer, anyhow. Bu what docs a woman want of a sextant? for this is certainly a woman's writing' She seems to be in earnest though. And #50! Conscience!

The next afternoon about 4 o'clock i trim little llgure walked rapidly over th< rough planks of Constitution wharf. "It's a 'jueur placj to find ? second hand typewriter," thought Etta Bourne "but I suppose the captaiu got tired o if, or couldn't use it because the verse pitched so, or something like that." She saw the gilt letters, "Klnr Dunn." A hit, bald headed man withi little gingham apron on looked out tie door of a box-like houio in tiio iniddb of the vessel. A broad plank extended fro.n tin wharf acrors'the buTwnrks. The man it the apron came forward. "I wish to see Captain Sprowl," said she. "Yis, mini. Come right aboard, mini on that there plank, mini. The captnii is down in his cabin, iiiitn." Etta Bourne stepped hastily along the plank, and the stout cook, putting hi? iirond palms under her elbows, lifted he lightly to the deck. "This way, mini," ami lie led hoi around to the after-compnnionwny. They went down the hrass-railw ttaire, nnd as the cook knocked at th< door Etta noticed how spick and spai everything looked. As a matter of fact tho captain, I: vTbw of tile way's visit, Tla?T kept tti cook scoui ing tlic wood ami brasswor all the forenoon. "Captain, sir, a lady wishos to si ye." llio captain, with half an hours wor in his four-in-hand, bowed rcspec fully. "I nm Miss Bourne," began Ktta. 1 j came in response to your a Ivcrtisoinou in tho Globe about a?" J "Yes, ina'ain," said the captain, "thi i is the place. Will you tako a seat?" As Ktfn sank into an easy chair st glanced about her in astonishment. 8h had no idea that theso littlo low house on ship's deck was so comfortablo a this. llere was a dainty littlo sitting room with a rich, soft carpot, a hanging lam of elaborate design, hugo plush eas chairs and sofa, a pretty rattan rocke and a table strewu witii tho latcs niugaxincs. nT beg your pardon," said tho tn captain, who hud been looking curiousl at her; "but are you not related to Mis Annie Bourne, of Kcnnchunk V "Why, yes, iudec 1, she is my ow lister," answered Kttii, with animation "1 used to go to school with her i (lie old llerwiek Academy,years ago; in I didn't know she had a sister." "Oh, yes, I went to the academy my self, but it was after she was graduated. "And was old Brown principal who you were there?" From this they went on for ten min utes, and each knew so many that th other did that they soon became old acquaintances. The captain at once noticed that sin was a remarkably neat an 1 pleasant lit11< woman, and Ktta Bourne thought th I 1 ! captain a line looking man, tall an< ' strong. "Well ( inliiin Snrnivl." uiiiil alio * * ?? -? -I" I ?v | finally, "I iiiu n't forget what I cam j for.

"Well, (lie fact is," said the captain reddening a lit'le. "1 bought a new on the other day when 1 really didn't nee it, and of course, I haven't use for two And," continued he, "since tuin aboi is fair play, 1 am going to a^k you ?vlu you want of one?" "To earn a living with," said she. The eaptaiu looked pu//.!e I as he won into the stateroom to get the sextan! He had heard that women were becomin the rivals of men in almost every trad ! and profession, and be vaguely wondere if Miss Bourne was intending soniotim '.<> become t'iptain Bourne. "Well," paid he, coining track an holding iho sextant out towards hci "here it is. The ivory on the scale is lit tie yellow, and the vernier glass has little crack across the other c-lge, but ? Me stopped. Miss B rume was hob mg up her hands iti a-nn/. nneut. "Why?why?what is this?"' bI stammered. "Why, it's a sextant," said the oaf fain. "I thought you knew what tha looked like." "Hut there's some misunderstand here. 1 don't have any u;o fur a sextant It was a typewriter that I understood 1 you ha I to sell." "A typewriter,"sai?l the eaptniu oston i ishel in turn. "Why, no. Here's th ; advertisement," and iie put the paper i i her hands. Wow, as I have said, Ktta Bourne wa a Maine Yankee, nud in less than te I recouds she bud guest ed how the inistak : occurred. "Well, now," said the captain. " ; thought it was awful funny that a womn should want to buy a sextant. Now yo have disappointel ine, I don't see how am going to sell it, unless I ieave it t the instrument maker's and let him ge j what he can for it." Oddly enough, from this point thi story runs along so nature. !y that you cat tell it yourself.

Of g |n a stylish traveling dross, something turn , ja ihould he in tlie summer outfit of every ime fashionable woman, is shown in the illus (ration.

Such ft costume as this l)eH comes in very well for knockabout service vith during t he summer, ami its masculine charJcj[ ?cteristies give it a neatness and tiimnos? very becoming to a good figure. With it mnv be worn a tourist's hat in rough straw, as nearly as possible of the same sh ide as the dress. In no one particular do s the well dressed woman show her good taste in always wearing the right sort of a gown on v the right occasion than when traveling or moving about in public places. There is a great deal in this. It enables her to preserve h- r nervout equilibrium under trying circumstances. It <s astonishing how some women begin to fret and fume the moment they set out on a Journey. I attribute it hugely to the fact that tbev are not properly dressed, tliey nre too warmly clad, or they wear n dress that wrinkles or spots easily, > and before they have gone 50 miles they ? present nn untidv and mussed up appear ance. Not so with (he woman who is attired in a neat and suitable traveling dress. Nothing disturbs her serenity. The very dust refuses to stiek to her, and at the end of her journey she alights from the train with a sin le that is comforting to 'ook upon. Her friends welcome her with great cordiality, for they feel instinctively that she will tit into the household and add to th< the general comfort of all. and ?{her hand, the woman who is owr sweltering in a heavy and unsuitable dress loses her temper, her satchel, her baggage ' checks and her pat-ence, and usually suc>na' coeds in robbing other people of much of their comfort.
