I showed him lhv lilllr bit of beach. just behind the light house; wd then we both run round to meet thém.

His companion was a rather common~ place~lnoking person. with heavy. black whiskers,,and was evidently much' older than the other. While he was making the boat fast with his anchor among the rocks. the first gentleman came up to me. and taking off his hat. said something pleasant about the day and the sail—l forgot what now—and then asked if I thought we could let him stay on the is land for a few days, as he was an artist. and n'isln-d to make some sketches for a marine picture he was painting. I was so astonished to find myself talk ing to a real. profes-itmtl artist, that I blushed and summer: (1 like a little goose, and was only brought to my senses by hearing Floy at my. elbow, saying. “I think you might stay. air ; there’s a spare room; and I'll go and ask the captain." And off she went to ask father—she al “my:r called him cnptain. as the folks ‘did over at the village. Th.- genth-man looked at her very steadily while she was talking; then he thanked her. and. turning to me. said. " Who is the captain, miss ?" "He is my father, sin—the keeps the “311' house." said 1. “0h! And who is that young lady not your sister. surely ?" “ Oh, no." I replied ; “ she is our sets want." - 1 never had called her aervant both". and I hardly know why I ‘did then; but I felt spiteful. sonic-how. ' The gentleman said. “ Oh !" again. and then joined his companion at the boat. Presently Flay came out, and, going up to thugentleman. said, ‘- The captain will see you. air. if you will walk into the housef’ and he accordingly did so. with out so much as looking at her. But. .not so his companion. for at the sound of her voice. I noticed that he dropped his rope out of his hands. and gave a long. per~ sistent stare at her. and then he turned his back quickly and got into the boat. and-I was certain—hid himse‘f behind the sail. As for hnr. she never looked at him. but kept her eyes on the otuer gen~ tlsmun until he got into the house. and I observed that her face seemed flushed. \\'ell..tha end of it was. that the light huirrd gentleman was accepted as a board vr for a few days. and then he came down to the boat in a low 'znotnents. and. in~ forming his friend. took a when and a black box from the locker. shook hands with the, other gentleman; and in a mo nu-nt more the sail boat was clear ol the island. tacked round the point. and sailed before the wind toward Bayport. The gentleman’s name. he told as. was Charles Hawthorne; and before we were thmuh tea that awning. we were as well acquainted with him as if we had known him intimately. Even father. who was never wry lively or talkative. heightened up under his cheering influence, and talked about paintings, and politics. and plenty of things I didn’t uuderszaud, all teu~time. 7 Of course Flny ulwuys ate with m. and I felt so penileut for my ill natured speech. that I Wu glad to find hn (rented hr! just as he did we ml of us; find I gave up an idea whiqh had hren in my head. that I would go und beg her pardon. for I slw it was unnecesnry.
