No matter what their respective oc cupations or social standing during the winter months, on this'particular occasion they were slmply'a fisherman and his sweetheart going lobster catching at 5 o’clock of a summer’* morning, and as the maa steered for the open sea be divided his atten tion between the girl opposite him and the brightly painted buoys which bobbed In the green water, marking the place where the lobster pots lay hidden. - v Sea-gulls screamed overhead, and occasionally skimmed the water grace fully a few yards from the side of their boat; “Mother Carey’s, chick ens” with their ministerial coats of black ami white fluttered to within a few feet of them in answer to the> fisherman’s coaxing whistle; and now and then a buoy flouted calmly by with a solitary mackerel-duck as pas senger. The sun rose higher ami high er. and the southwest wind sent the salt spray Into their faces as they sped over the water. The fisherman spoke for the first time since they had become entangled in the rope of a buoy. “Here's a trap I haven't pulled far a week.”- he said, as he leaned over the side of the boat and drew the line toward him. The sound of his voice, quite normal and showing no hint of the conflicting emotions that had been going on within his hfeast that morn ing, gave him courage, lie turned toward the girl, a half-smile <hi Ids lips. “Let’s bet on it,” she suggested, and sl»e returned his smile quietly. “It will be empty.” she said, begin ning to show Interest.

The game was growing exciting and the girl •-ante and MinnI Inside him. She wasn’t exactly sure whether or not she wanted to win tills time.

A perch Imprisoned within sent the salt water Into his eyes with Its terrified finppfiir. and It was a mo ment or two before he could exam ine the contents of Ids trap.

He measured It critically and then smiled. “Nine and one-half inches,” he told her, T win tliis lime,” Preparations were made for the third apd final catch.

He cleared away the-$ea-weed and looked into the trap while the girl sat with averted head almost as though it mattered nojhing to her how it would all come out. Then, a glad little chuckle from her com panion made her turn, and she saw him standing with a giant lobster held by the hack, She did not know wTloth- er to be angry or glad, but as ehe saw the unmistakable look of happi ness in his eyes she began to smile at him. Hurriedly he snapped the lob ster’s claws and cast it into the barrel. Instinctively they both felt that fate had decided more than a mere forfeit for them. Shutting off the motor he came toward her, and suddenly realised that she was undeniably glad to see him coming.
