"I'm sorry yo "must leave us, Mr.
Page," lie said when Albert was ready
to l?ld the old folks goodby. "I wish
ye could stay longer, but cum ag'in
soon, an' remember our latclistrlng's
alius out for ye."
When the old carryall had made half
Its dally Journey Albert pointed to a
low rock and said, "There is n spot I
shall always be glad to see, for It was
there Uncle Terry first found, ule."
Telly made no answer. In fact, she
had said but little slnco they started.
When they reached the littlo landing
no one else was there. No house was
in sight of it, and the solitude was
broken only by the tide tliat softly
caressed .the barnacled piles of tlio
wharf and the weed covered rocks on
either side. No boat was visiblo
adown the wide reach that separates
4 * Routhport Island from the mainland,
and'up it came a light sea breeze that
barely rippled the flowing tide and
whispered through the brown and scar- .
let leaved thicket back of tbem. Over
all shone the liazy sunlight of October.
Telly stood listening and hoping that

ness cnmo over her face and a more
than usunlly plaintive appeal in her
expressive eyes. "I am sorry you are
going," she said. "It is so lonesome
here, and it will seem more so o*W."
Then, as if thut was a confessh/ ) he
might thiftk unmaidenly, she addt-i., "I
dread to hove the summer end, for
when winter comes the rocks all
around seem like so man/* -nibstones."
Albert fiat out his y if that
would old his appeal/ his fingers
closed over hers he w, ''I am
going away With a heavy heart. Telly,
and when I pan come back is hard to
soy. WW you not promise m^ that
some time, no matter when,rj^u will
be my own good and true jirKe"? Let
> V me go away with that hope^to comfort
me while I work and save for a home
, for us both. Will you. Telly?"
Put the plaintive face was turned
away, porliaps to bide the tears. Then
an arm stole around her- waist, und as
he drew her close she wliisperod, i
"When I am no longer needed here, if .
you want me then I will come to you." j
f She was sobbing, her head resting on
his shoulder, and as ho kiseed her un- ,
resisting lips a boat's sharp wblstlo
broke the sacred spell.
"Go n little way back, my darling,"
he whispered, "until the boat is gone.
I do not WJiut any one to see you have
been crying."
When her misty eyes could no longef'
see the boat that bore her heart away,
turned, and all the /long, lonely 4
why back love's tears lingered on lier J
lashes. ^
CHAPTER XXXVII. *
HE mountains around *&nnd-.
Kate were aflame with the
n scarlet and gold of autumn
before life seemed quite as
usual to Alice Page. The summer idyl
bad passed, and though it left a stafc
on her heart she hnd resolutel|sMjH9
termlned to pu{ .the sweet illusion^QBy
of her mind. "I was very foolish tq^j
let him see that I cared," she thought^
"for it can never be, and by and bySj
he will forget me, or if he does thinkv
of me it will be to recall mc as one of

liness."
per heart ached at times, ami iq
gpite of all resolution her fingers would
pnce in awhile stray to the chords of
'Pep Bolt." She answered his letters
In a cool, matter of fact way. Occasionally,
when he referred to his heart
hunger and how hard hp >vns studying
in hopes that she might think better
of him, she wished that ho hnd no
purse proud and haughty mother to
stand between him and fcpbor girl, and
titv next. letter, woul'd be more chilly
than ever. Whflt perhaps was u bitter
sweet thought was the fact that the
'colder she answered hlin the warmer
bis next letter would bo. IJo happened
to .mention once that bis mother had
spoken of n certain young lncly, who
belonged to the cream of Boston society,
as an eligible match and advised
blm to show her a little attention. It
did not help bis cause.
How grateful she was nil through
those melancholy autumn days that she
# had a. large school to absorb her
13(01ghts. She was having n long nnd
Mj* fight with her own feelings, nnd
she had comjuered them
when Thanksgiving time drew near
and her brother announced he would
run up and spend the day with her.
She almost cried for Joy nt tlie ucw3,
for proud spirited Alice Page was feelV
lng very heart hungry when the letter
came. Albert was just a little surprised
ut her vehement welcome.
"Oh, I have been so lonesome, Bertie,"
she said when they were alone,

"I am very busy these days, sis,"
Albert replied, "and my mind Is all
taken up with work. Mr. Nason's
business is Increasing, and I have many
clients besides him," Then ho added,
"How did you like Blanch Nnson?"
"Oh, sho was very nice," replied
Alice coolly, "and if she were n poor

"And that about Frank? Did he

i Alieaculored.
"Oil,the is'nice enough," she answered,
"and tried to make me believe he

"Please do not say any more about

pnln In her voice. "He is all right, but
I aiu too poor and too proud to satisfy
his mother, so that Is all there Is to it."
Theis she added in self protection,
"Tell me about the island girl I heard
you fell in love with on the yachting
trip and for whom you deserted the
crowd." Albert looked eonfus^d.". "It
is true, Bertie," she said <iuffckly. "I

your short letters. I shall "feol uioro

, "Alice, niy sweet little sister," bo replied,
resolutely drawing his cbair near

leave them for me as long as they

Then he frankly told Alice" the entire
6tovy of his waif of the sea and,how
she had refused to yield to-his "plehding.

"And now, sweet sister," he saej^Hj

* "Oh, I shall be so glad of the change,

" "But what will Aunt ?LUfUjk of

ft "She will get used lift it," ho an-?
awered. *
Then, as Alice began to "tealfju> what:
ijtjueant to bid goodby to the scenes of^
childhood, the old home, the great
H?os in front, the hrond meadows, tho
Kook that rippled through thcih, the
pottle cliurch where every one greeted
Tier with a smile, and tho grand old
hills that surrounded* Sundgate'g
peaceful valley, her heart began to
sink. Then she thought of the pleapnat
woods whero slio had so often
gone nutting In autumn, the. old njill
pond where every summer since babyhood
sin? had gathered lilies, and even
those barefooted school children of
hers.
"I shah dislike to go. after all," sbe
paid at last, "but perhaps It is best.
I shall be homesick for a spell, but
then I shall have you." Then she
rose and like a big baby crept Into
her- brother's lap, and, tucking her
sunny head under ids chin, whispered:
"Oh, if you were never going to be
married, Bertie. I would leave It all
and try to be contented. I could come
up here every summer, could 1 not?"
Then she added disconsolately: "But
you will get married soon Your beautiful
Island girl will not keep, you
waiting so long."
"No sweetheart and no wife shall
ever lessen uiy love for you. Alice,
who have been uiy playmate, my com
pnnion nn?l my confidant nil my life."
When they luul discussed the proposed
step in nil its bearings for n half
hour* Albert 4^hi: "Come, now, sis,
sing a little f<p me. I am hungry to
hear you once toore."
She compiled willingly, ami, as the
piquant voice; of Allco rage trilled
the list from '^Lily Dale" to "Smvunee
River" and bfeek to "Bonny Iiloiso"
and "Patter of the Rain," Albert lazily
puffed his |?pc and lived over his
boyhood days.l
When the edfcert was ended he explaimed:
"I wll look nround before
Christmas nitilsee what kind of a
flat can be.foul, and then when your
school closes >u must come down
and visit mo id see how you like
Boston."
"Oh, that wl he Just delightful,
only you must romise not to tell tho
Nasons that I ii coming."
"But If they d It out Blanch and

replied. "Heme her, they did you tho

"I should love to," replied Alice, hesitating.
"but?well. 1 will loll you what
we can do?we will wait until the day
before I am to return, and then v. o ci\n
call tlicre one evening:. They ijee.l not
know how long I have been In l?oston."
When morning and departure came
Albert said: "I will do as you ."w'.sli.

Naxons slionld meet us at a theater I
imagine it will work till right, only if
is it little rough on Frank."

do.so now. With It was Inclosed an
I etpinlly cordial but brief note of invitation
from Mrs. Nason. -Alice replied to

thanks, also stilting that she hnd nroin
Ised her brother she would visit hlin
during her vacation, npd hoped ^ have
one or two evenings with them nt that
time. ':

r "Bless ids dear heart," said jUlce
when she rend the letter, "what a prizo..
that island girl will .get in him!"
When Christmas came and . she
kissed Aqnt Susan gmj^by, she was
near gl\^Mrui>'*he trjq^mtogethg^ It
may b^v? been the sad face of her
aunt that brought the irresolution, or
a fueling that meeting Frank would
reawaken the little heartache she had
by her brother.

Frank knows you are here 1 am sure
to lie one too luauy most of the time."
"Not on his account, you'll not be,"
replied Alice with a snap.
What a gallant escort that brother
was, and what a change from the dull
monotony of her home life those days
were to Alice.
They .visited art galleries mornings,
and devoted the afternoons and evenings
to theaters; then usually a tetea-tete
supper at a cozy place^ where the
best was to be had, and a little chat In
his or her room before) .ly^rLng. It
jvas during one of thes&^flftief' visft?.
that she noticed some of. tqKoiuUues
that hiing in his room.

she continued as she viewed the next
one. Then as she examined it a little
closer she added, "Who is E. T. ?"
Albert mode n^ v:??-**er. and she passed
to a third showing a little rippled
cove with the ocean beyond and a girl
seated in the shade of a small spruce
tree. ' '
"Why. this is by E. T. too," she exclaimed,
And turning to her brother
she repeated, "Who Is E. T.V"
"Well," he answered, "I will take
you down to the island some time and
introduce you to her. She will be glad
to meet my sister, you may be certain."
Tin's the brief history of this girl,
as her brother had told it, cniuc to her.
"So that was the wreck she floated
ashore from, was it, Bert? And can
she paint like that? Why, I am astonished!
And who is tlie girl leaning
oil the rock? What an exoiiisitolv
molded liKiire nnd what a pretty pose!
Who Is she?" *
"That is your possible sister-in-law,"
answered Albert, with a touch of
pride, "and the pictures were done by
her from sketches I first made myself.
They are true to life so far as all details
go, only I failed to catch her expressive
face In tho one that shows it
front view of her."
"So that was the way you wooed
your Island ffoddess, was It?" observed
Alice, with n roguish look, "Made her
pose for a sketch while you said sweet
things to her. Ilave you a picture
of her?"
"No, I a in sorry to say I have not.
Remember, she has been hidden on an
island all her life, and I doubt If she
ever had a picture taken."

The Shortcut Ttvtllcht.
TLe period of twilight shortens toward
the equator and lengthens toward
the poles. In other words, the
less the thickness of the air through
which the rays of the setting sun havo
to pass the sooner darkness comes.
From this it naturally follows that tho
region of the shortest twilight is the
one which is situated nearest to the
equator and at the greatest elevation.
These two conditions are combined
in the region in which stands (juito,
the capital of Ecuador. The plateau is
feet above the level of the sea. It
is also surrounded by mountains, twenty
peaks, eleven of which rise beyond
tho snow line, being visible from the
streets of the city. Added to this, it ib
only fifteen miles south of tho equator;
hence it has a shorter twilight than
any other spot on the equator partly
because of the elevation and part I j because
the western mountains Intercept
tho rays of tho setting sun and so
cause darkness to follow dftyllght with
greater rapidity than at any other spot
on enrtli.
Tlie Garden of Kden.
According to the host authorities, it
was in Armenia that the "ganJ?u of
Eden" spoken of in the book of denesis
was planted. Most of tho evidence
in support of this theory is topographical.
Tho Itible says that the garden
was watered by a river running
through it which afterward divided
into four heads. The names of those
are given as Pisou, Gibon, Hiddokel
and Euphrates. There is little tliffleulty
about the latter, and Lfciddcltcl Is
commonly identified with tne Tigris,
both of which rivers rise In the mountains
of Armenia. The others are. lo
! cated toy assuming them to be Arns
! and tUp.Kur, streams which nlso rise
-in tjie Armenian hills. In old documents
Armenia Js often referred to as
the "land <?f the.four rivers" or "the
cradl.e of the" human race." Though
Armenja does not go quite back to "the.
time of AlAm, the country's history Is
traced to Jtitorst ruler, Halg, the great
grandson of J?)licth.
Some Queer Definition*.
In the Bailey dictionary'of 1074 the
word "collbus" is defined as follows:
"Colibus?a humming bird, which
makes a noiso like a whlrfwlnd, though
it Is no bigger than a fly. ' It feeds on
dew, has nn admirable heauty of feathers
and a scenf as sweet as tlwit of
musk or ambergris."
The same authority thus describes
tho loriot, or oriole: "Loriot?a bird
that, being looked ifpon by one that has
yellow Jaundice, cures, the person and
dies Itself."
Delpino's dictionary (1703) says of
the leopard: "Lleupard, or leopard?a
yellow beast, exceedingly swift, subtle
and fierce and of such a* sweet savod
that it nllures other beasts to it,
which means they are caught and devoured."

From remote times the natives of

Wli^ro Latin la Still Spoken.
In the.- central part of the Balkans,

and Turkey,' there Is a
community of' mountaineers, among
wlrom strangers seldom go. During
f the ascendency of (he Itoman empire
a Itoman colony was founded here
*and then forgotten on account of its
remoteness. For the reason that the
descendants of those ancient colonists
have never mixed with the people
about tliem they retain their original
characteristics, even to the language.
In several villages the Latin that the
peasants speak Is so plain that students
of classic authors can understand
them.
Betrothed at Blrtli.
In some parts of west Africa the
girls have long engagements. On the
day of their blrtli they are betrothed to
a baby boy a trifle older than themselves,
and at the age of twenty they
are married. The girls know of 110 other
way of getting a husband, and so
they are quite happy and satisfied. As
wives they are patterns of obedience,
and the marriages usually turn out a
success.
