beside him, glass in hand, combiug her
streaming tresses. She turns, meets
bis gaze and speaks In words which
fill him with delight. She puts a couch
shell to her ruby lips and blows n call.
It sounds afar through the waving
bushes, through the rainbow colored
weeds, over the open plain, through
the tangled forest. The brilliant Ilshes
hear the note and shoot away through
the limpid water with Its message. A
school of dolphins cry holiday to their
master and come gamboling up to the
tryst to lie In a gleaming circle on the
Jeweled sand. Then follow troops of
mermaldens. some riding on the backs
of shaggy sea horses, some racing
along in shell chariots drawn by teams
of emulous porpoises; and after theui
come the mermen, bearing posies of
fair sea flowers which wither when
they meet the air. All stand and marvel
at the mortal who has ventured
down among the glories of their enchanted
kingdom.
Then there bursts out a strain of delicious
melody, and the mermaideas'

."Wake up, Jack," whispered Alec,
nudging me. "While you've been sleeping
the snails have made up their
minds to creep out of their shells.
See, there they go!" And he pointed
to some half score of men who were
making their way down to a boat
which lay drawn up on the beach. A
jag or rock almost concealed it, and It
was onlj* when we saw the point for
which the men were leaking that we
caught sight of the boat at all.
"What shall we do?" said I. "Coll

"No use. We might manage that

"Hard wosds. Alee!" I retorted hotly.
"But true words. though none but
tour sworn shipmate dared have used

There arose from below a sound
which caused us to prick our ears to
[heir sharpest angle. A body of men
tad emerged from the cliff leading
some prisoners with them, and one of
lie latter was ringing an Kugllsh sea
iotig. The words came up to us disinetly
through the clear morning air:

"By all that's surprising, it's Willie

trangely familiar.
