And now I have put out n month's earnings for a new one. What possessed me 1 don't know." And so the captain went on. Now, Captain Sprowl was uot, as you might think from the name, a bald bended old man with bushy whiskers. No; names arc very misleading. Instead, lie was tall and slender, with r sandy mustache, ami had not a gray hair in Ins head He came from Maine, and although but thirty years old, he had been for six years captain or the Edna Dunn, now lyiug at Constitution wharf, in Boston, discharging her cargo of sugar. "Well," puffed the captain,, "nothing J to do now but to get rid of the old se.x- I taut. I should go ashore next time if I [ had two sextants to navigate by. Must I work the old oil on some landlubber or i somebody.'' The package was lying on an old newspaper which he had read through and through on his last trip out. "The very thing!" said he. "I'll put a notice in the paper?'Sextant for sale, cheap,' and if somebody don't bite at it, I miss my guess." The next morning the only thiug the captain could see in the paper was this: Sextant for silo by a ship captAin.na.irlvn ew an I in pjrfect order; will ba soli cheap. Address O.. 41 Olobj olflce. And now my story's begun. Etta Bourne had been at work in a millinery store in Boston for nearly two years. ?ho and her older sister Annio had learned the trade with the village milliner down in Keunebuuk. Bui. Annie, who had long been the belle of the village, not married, and Etta concluded to try her fortune in Boston. She was full of ambition. So it fell that in her two years in the millinery store she stu lie 1 shorthand and typewriting, with the intention of U' Cm,herself to bt a confidential clark. On Sunday she saw this advertisement : for Sale?Jones's Premier Typewriter at hilt price; be-ni use 1 less than a month; in por.fcct order. Address O., 47 Globe ofll.'e, Etta llouine, being a Maine Yankee, knew a burgaiu when she saw it. She wanted to own a typewriter, and so she wrote a brief note addresse i to "O., 47 Globe Oilice," a?kiug where the machine could he seen, and dropped it into the letter box as she went to work Monday morning. Now, I cnid at the beginning that the j advertising r!erk was to blame. Per- i haps the mistake was partly that of Etta | Bouine. At any rate it will never be j known. The clerk wa; sorting the replies and putting them in their itpropriate boxes. When he came to Etta Bourne's letter to ' (>. 47," l c lead it "O. 41" and put it in the pigeonhole as such. That was a very, very little mistake, of course, but vou who have noticed how things go iu this world of ours have discovered that thn most serious changein the course of our lives come about from just such little happenings. For it was that very day that Captain sr rowl advertised his sextant for sale. And Captain Sprowl was "O 41." w the tali captuin was a very busy , rnntJ, and it was Tate fTiAl afTefnOou before lie went to tho office to gather in the replies from people who were anxious to huy a sextant. But the sextant, murkct was apparently rather dull, for all tho clerk could irivo liini was one solitary latter. Thn captain tore the envelope opon and tossed it aside. "I snw your advertisement in the Globe,1' rend the captain. "I wish to buy a good second-hand machine of standard make, and if the ono you offer is in perfect repair and the prica is satisfactory, perhaps <vc can trade. But I cannot give more than $50, and it you ask more you uec?.l not reply to this. 1 Send your address, stating where ma- | chine can be soon, to II. E. Bourne, 450 J Winter street." \ Well," toliloquized the captaiu, J "I've got one answer, anyhow. But " what docs a woman want of a sextant? \ for this is certainly a woman's writing! j She seems to be in earnest though. ? "And $50'. Conscience! I never ex- \ peeled to got more thau $25. Well, . she'll have to come on board, I suppose, ~ so I'll scud her ruy address." Aud standing at the public desk ho wrote: K H. V.. Rourno?'>ear Miss: Yours in reply to :nv advortis*ment iu tb? Glob? Is at fi baud, Plcaro call on m? aboard the bark E<lua Dunn, Constitution wharf, batwesn 9 b and 9. Edwin K. Sprowd, Captain. The next afternoou about 4 o'clock a ? trim little flgure walked rapidly over the rough planks of Constitution wharf. "It's a queer place to ttnd a second- ' hand typewriter," thought Etta Bourne, "but I suppose the captniu got tired of it, or couldn't use it because tho vessel n pitched so, or something like that." b She saw the gilt letters, "Eloa Dunn." A fat, bald-headed man with a S little gingham apron on looked out the tl door of a box-like houie in the middle of the vessel. e A broad plank extended from tho 6( wharf acro?3*the bulwarks. Tho man in the apron came forward. t! "I wish to see Captain Sprowl," said g she. "Vis, mim. Come right aboard, mini, on tbnt there plank, mini. The captain ^ is down in his cabin, inim." Etta Bourne stepped haitily along the plauk, and the stout cook, putting his * broad palms under her elbows, lifted her 1 lightly to the deck. "This way, mim," and he led hor around to the after-companionway. t, They went down the brass-railed stairs, and as the cook knocked at the t ( door Etta noticed how spick and span i I everything looked. As a matter of fact the captain, in ] view of inenaory's visit, had" kept the 8 cook scouring the wood and brasswork c all the forenoon. "Captain, 6ir, a lady wishes to see f J<?" r The captain, with half an hour's work in his four-in-hand, bowed respect* fully. "I am Miss Bourne," begau Etta. 44I 1 came in response to your advertisement I in the Globe about a?" J "Yes, ma'ain,"said thecaptain, "this * is the place. Will you take a seat?" As Etta sank into an easy chair she ' glanced about her in astonishment. She ] ' had no idea that these little low houses ' on ship's deck was so comfortable as 1 this. Here was a dainty little sitting room, with a rich, soft carpet, a hanging lamp of elaborate design, huge plush easy chairs and sofa, a pretty rattan rocker b and a table strewn with tho latest u magazines. v "T Beg your pardon," said the tall captain, who had been looking curiously ~ at her ; 4'but are you not related to Miss ~ Annie Bourne, of Kenncbunk?'"' 44 Why, yes, indeed; she i9 my own c lister," answered Etta, with animation. A "I used to go to school with her in the old Berwick Academy,years ago; but c I didn't know she had a sister." c "Oh, yes, I weut to the academy my- f self, but it was after she was graduated.'" i "And was old Brown principal when f you were there?" r roin mis iney wcai on xor ten rain- B, utcs, and each knew so many thnt the M other did that thoy soon became old ac- w quaintanccs. Fj The captain at once noticed that she js was a remarkably neat and pleasant little woman, ami Etta Bourne thought the ^ captain a tine-looking man, tall and strong. }] 41 Well, Captain Sprowl," said she, {} finally, "I niusn't forget what I came n for. I believe you have a machiuo that , you wish to sell?** 44 Why, yes," said the captain, wondering what on earth this attractive " young woman could waut of a sextant. fil 4'And how did you come to want to c sell it," pursued she, wondering what 11 use this sea-captaiu had for a typewriter. ( "Well, the fact is," said the captain, 1 reddening a little. 4II bought a new one the other day when I really didn't need it, and of course, I haven't, uso for two. F And," continued he, "since turn about a is fair play, I am going to n^k you what r; you want of one?" "To earn n living with," said she. a1 Tho captain looked puzzle 1 as he went (t into the stateroom to get the sextant. ^ lie had heard that women were becoming the rivals of men in almost every trado ^ and profession, and he vaguely wondered if Miss Bourne was intending soraotime j, to become Captain Bourne. "Well," said he, coming back and ^ holding the sextant out towards her, ^ "here it is. Tho ivory on the scale is a f little yellow, and the vernier rrla3s has a little crack acrcm the other edge, but?" Ho stopped. Miss Bourne was hold- 1 ing up her bauds in amazement. "Why?why?what is this?** she 1 I stnmmere.J. " "Why, it's a sextant," said the cap- ^ tain. "I thought you knew what that 1 looked like." J "But there's some misunderstand ' here. I don't have any use for a sextant. It was a typewriter that I understood R you had to sell." ^ "A typewriter,"said the captain aston- ft ished in turn. "Why, no. Here's the fi advertisement," and iie put the paper in f her hands. " How, as I have said, Etta Bourne was p a Maine Yankee, and in less than ten seconds she had guessed how the mistake occurred. I "Well, now," said the captain. "I n thought it was awful fuuoy that a woman n should want to buy a sextant. Now you y have disappointed me, I don't see how I p am going to sell it, unless I ieave it at w the instrument maker's and let him get o what he can for it." cl Oddly euough, from this point this story runs along so naturady that you can 0 tell it yourself. The tall captain escorted Miss Bourne T up town, called on her two or three times y while ho was in port, corresponded with her when he was away, and in leas than a year this notice appeared: "j Rprowl?Bourne ?In Keunebunk, Me., p, May 8, at the residence of the bride's narants. ^ C'aot.
