A* far back a* the oMeat inhabitant
could remember there had been a feud
between the Jasons find the Spratta. It
had never been a deadly one, bat it had
been very bitter for n’l that, and had
eauM d a great deal of l fooling, not be
tween the two families alone, but among
many others who tlu’ough alliance with
posed race spread through Tomvbnrg,
and in less than tytlf an hoar's time men,
women mid children were congregated
upon the shore, all taking a lively inter
est in the preparations being made there.
The sun was just going down behind
a dark mass of clouds when Jay and
Sim, accompanied by their
town To the landing, where their re-
' rpectiye friends had hoisted sail on the
two boats and made everything ready
for a start.
The young men made a hasty survey, *
to see that. their crafts were in ship
shape, and having satisfied themselves
i that everything, had been properly el-
l tended to grasiKHl the tillers, gave the
L sigiml to cast off and darted away from
the shore like birds on snowy wings,
amid lusty cheers from those left l>e- ;

i fla.sht*s of lightning. Dark, towering
masses of clonds rose slowly upon all
sides of the horizon. The wind was dne
east, blowing a stiff breeze. The two

barely makinu their course. The water
was rough and the waves ran pretty

| BoaRt. nnd banter ran high lit conw*-
qucnce, nnd high worda wore exchanged
daily between tire backers of the two
crufts.
One evening Jay and Sint met down
by the Rhoje, where they had come to
look after their boats. Both men were
accompanied by friends.
“If I owned an old tub like that one
yonder,”.said Jay Hpratt to Ids compan
ions. pointing to tho Annie and speaking
in tones loud enough to Ikj heard by tho
Jason crowd. “I’d leave her to the mer
cy of the wind and weather and let her
Etake.care of herself.”
“That tub, as you call her, can out-
‘cul that bov of yours,” retorted 3im,
stopping and looking around defiantly.
"1 don’t believe it.”
! “1 didn’t'ask you to take my word for
ft, Jay Spratt. But if you have
! spunk of a kitten I can prove it to you
this very night.”
“How?" asked Jay, affecting surprise.
-rU sail yon a race to Redfish light
house and back. From the looks of the
sky 've are likely to have all sorts of
weather—winds amT calms and squalls—
and our boats will have an equal
chance.”
.lay considered a few moments. The
sky looked threatening and tho night
would be dark. Thp distance was twen
ty miles, and to go out on the bay with
every indication for » stormy night was
( a risky business; but Jay knew he must
either accept the banter or back down in
disgrace, tacitly acknowledging the in
feriority of his boat, and incurring be
sides the reputation of a coward. These
thoughts flushed through his brain, and
, in a moment his mind was made nir.
Aye, he would outbrave Sim in accepfc-
t mg the challenge.
*‘l accept your proposition, Sim," he
said. Then ho added, “And to make
the race more evcq for you I will only
take sjSter Lily along to help me sail the
boat.”
A wild yell of approval went np from
his companions, for all knew that Lily
t Spratt was as plucky a girl as there
was in Tomsburg, and that her skill
h» handling a boat was second only to
that of the most expert boatmen in the
Tillage.
Just then Annie Jason came upon the
scene, and joining her brother asked the
cause for the uproar. Blm told her ia a
hurried whisper.
“Tfce Spratts shan’t crow over as.
at the ramo time tearing them, apart
and carrying one far astern of thcotucr.
Jay looked around for Jus sister. At
his feet, in-the email cockpit iu which he
was sitting, now half filled with water, )
he mw a motionless figure, ,which he j
thought to l>e hers. He reached down 1
his hand nnd dragged her toward him.
A long and vivid flash lighted up
everything uronnd him, revealing In-
American girls havo that plnck whieh
makes Ihetn admired by all the world.
Tho following is a story of two yotmg
women who made a flying trip from
Pails to Han Francisco. The sisters were
at school in Pari.*, and expected soon to
be met by relatives. One foreifton they,
remved a cable dispatch telling them to
come home as soon af possible. Tho
oldest girl i* about twenty years old.
She immediately sent for time tables.
While she wa* examining these her nste^
was packing five trunks.
Miss F discovered that they coaid
get a steamer from Southampton which
was to sail th? next day. She printed to
her banker’s, and hurrying back joined,,
her sister in packing. At half-past 8
that night they were being whirled out
of Paris. Neither ot the girls slept that
night. Wheu they arrived in London at
fl o’clock in the morning Miss F—* wan
forced lo do some shopping, for however
rapidly women travel they make time to
do a little Imying, and In this case they
had started so suddenly that this was
absolutely neoeesary.
