i&sorbed by the interest of Willie's
Mijis Bo/5ry, we bad quite forgotten about
teachinyd'ur fishing, and now the rapidly ebbreturn''
'UK tide gave us considerable ditficulty
, J' In hauling In our net. The catch, however,
was a good one?seven very fair
fish and one 20 pounder, which, 1 resolved,
should go as a peace offering to
Dame Garret, the Spaniard's housekeeper.
There was a small grate In the cabin
of Willie's boat, and we soon had the
rich, red salmon steaks toasting before
It
The scent of the cooking brought an
addition 'to the party. A gaunt, long
legged, black cat put his nose round
the door and leered at Alec and me
with such an evil expression that wc
involuntarily shrank back, and I, at
least, had uncomfortable recollection*
of the stories I had heard of wltche*
and of the evil eye. A cat may be n

When the steaks were cooked, the

plates, and while we set to with our

growling vigorously to show ids satisfaction,

Willie, after lie had with sailorlike tidiness
stowed everything back into its
place, tucked himself comfortable Into
' a corner of his cabin, took the cat on
his knee and advised us to follow his

I "But you haven't yet told me about

CHAPTER IV.
Three days had passed since our ad
venture In Don Miguel's house, nnd as
I had heard uo more about the broken
crucible I began to hope that If there
had l>eeu a storm it hail blown over.
Put on the fourth morning, after
breakfast, my father told me to follow
hiui into his study, nnd 1 guessed thai
an uncomfortable half hour was in
store for mo. 1 was not wrong.
"John." said my father, "what wer<
you doing at Don Miguel's house thre<
nights ngo?"
"1 went to see Inez," I replied, trem
bling, but defiant.
"Do you often go?"
"Yes, father."
"Why?"
He was looking at me so gravely, ant
. he spoke so quietly, I knew he wai
very angry. I thought, however, tha
the boldest course was the best, so 1
spoke the plain truth.
"Because Inez Is my sweetheart."
"Your sweetheart? H'm!" and h<
stared at me harder than ever.
"Yes, father," I said, twirling mj
cap In my Augers nervously, "and?and
I want to marry her."
"Oh, is that so? IIow old are you?"
"I'm In my nineteenth year."
"Quite true, quite true. Your state
ments are generally reliable, John. II
is your owe good j>oint. But I may re
mind you that it is also true that yoi
celebrated your eighteenth birthday
Just a month ago. You'd forgottei
luai lor lue moment:
"No. father."
"No? Well, just for the sake of argu
ruent, we will say you are 18. Rathei
young to marry. Isn't It?"
"Yes, father," I answered, "but"?
"Never mlud the 'but,' John. Yoi
are too young to marry, and that's on<
point against you. IIow do you pro
pose to support a wife? Pardon mj
asking; it's a very pertinent question.'
"I thought perhaps that you"?
"Well, out with it, John. You though
perhaps that 1"?
"That you would set me up in sonn
business."
"Good! I was afraid that yon wer<
going to suggest that 1 might share
my income with you, but I'm glad t<
find that I misjudged you. Let m<
see. What sort of business should yoi
prefer? A fisherman's? Yon ehnl.-<
your head. A poacher? No? Well
I'm afraid 1 can't think of anything
else for which you are suited. It h
very sad. but really I don't think yoi
can support a wife at present. I'oln
number two. John!"
"But, father"?
"Wait a minute. I have two mori
points to urge yet, and then you cat
have your say. Point number thrcethe
lady is a foreigner. Point numbe
four?I have other views for you. Nov
let me hear what you have to urge oi
your side."
"I love Inez."
"Ah! And"- i 'il i>\
"She loves me." "<! . J
.1 rjt- - t s.
"And"? T
"Nothing else."
"Well. John, they are both, no doubl
very cogent reasons. I shouldn't ad
vise you to trust too much to the sec
ond, by the way, but I am afraid the;
are not sufficient. Now, sir, listen t
me. You are an idle, good for nothin
scamp, and from every side I liea
nothing but bad reports of you. Yo
and your companion in mischief, Alej
ander Ireland, are a disgrace to th
town. Don Miguel tells me that yo
utterly ruined an experiment of hi
which had taken months of constnn
work and had cost him a largo sum o
money. lie had just brought it to
successful conclusion when you cause
him to spill his precious liquid on th
floor, nnd he demands that 1 sha
make good the damage. What do yo
say to that?"
"That you won't do it," 1 auswerec
for I knew my father.
"Well, no. I don't consider that h
was engaged on lawful work, so I sha
refuse to pay. But that Is not th
point. Your conduct is slniply dii
graceful, and I have resolved to put
