Tis pate was just bald enough to carry bos pet face high up over the brow. but yet he had a goodly quanti- ty of dark curls clustering about his short, fat neck. The ouly near relative be had in the lower world was Jack Kendall. an only child of his only sister. Jerry Pleman had loved his sister fondly, and when she died—she was a widow then—she left a prayer upon the record that her brother would eare for herorphan boy. And uncle Jerry had done it faithfully. For ten years he had provided for bis nephew, keep- ing him at one of the best schools for a while. and then paying his way through college. But now that he had settled down for a home, he had Jack come and live with him. ‘Ab, you are here, are you’” growled the uncle, looking up with a very dagger like ex- pression. Jack Kendall was twenty-three, somewhat taller than his uncle, but with tho same family look. He was a handsome, good-natured, gen- erous, affectionate fellow, and loved his uncle Jerry with his whole soul. “Yes, uncle, I’m here,” he replied, taking a seat, “and I kuow you are glad to see me.” * Aye, I am glad, for I have something wo say to you,” the bachelor resumed, looking some moredaggers. ‘“ Have you seon that bag- gage again?” “ Baggage, uncle ’"’ “Baggage, sir.

The old fellow was as stubborn as he was kind hearted, and where he felt that he had authority he would not yield Finally Jack rafred to ponder upon the sub- ject, and before dark he resolved to see the widow in advance of his uncle; and he went that very evening Susan Garland was a pretty woman, with a plump form, and a dimpled, cheerful fuce, over which sweet, genial smiles were continually playing when she was happy. “he had been slone two years. She welcomed Jack kindly, and after some common place remarks. the young man came to the point.

She had left off her weeds. and now appeared as fresh fair as a maid of sixteen. She welcomed the captain with one of her sweetest smiles, and finally took a seat close by him. By a dexter- ous turn she got him engazed in relating won- derful stories of bis adventures at sea, and thus By the big fish, but UM keep | an bour slipped away. Of course he must now stop to dinner. ‘Oh, no, I must go home to dinner,” said he. “But before I go, [ have a little business mat- ter to touch upon.”’ “Then you must wait sir,”’ pronounced the widow, decisively ‘+ [t is my dinner hour, and I must prepare it. Wait andeat with me, and then I'll listen.”” And with this Susan diew out her table. spread the snow white cloth, and soon had the dishes in their places. Then she went away to the kitchen, and presently the captain heard the pots und kettles rattling, the meat sputter- ing, and a brisk culinary racket going on gen- erally ‘ Egad,” the old fellow muttered to himself, “she’s a splendid craft.

So juicy, sv rich, so delicately spiced—and so splendidiy cooked. And then the little et ceteras, and the pies. and the cake, and the rich, golden coffee. But above all he was entranced y the bright smiles and the sparkling wit of his fair hostess. “ Zounds!"' he muttered, while she was gone away with the dishes, “ain't she charming?’ Finally the widow came and sat down by the captain’s side upon the sofa.

Answer me that.” “You never did ask me, sir.”’ “ Then. by the car of old Neptune, I ask you now Susan Garland, will you be my wife” “ Jerry Pleman—I will!” “‘ What!" cried the captain, starting back, and gazing into her blushing, tear-wet face— “do you mean that you can love an old man like me—that you can love me always?” » You are not old; and as for loving you, I have loved you forulong while; and if you take me for a wife. T'il love and blesa you to my dying hour!” “<Thencome here! Come here, Susan!
