Anxious to become acquainted with her, he followed the ‘eouple on deck, ' “We are especially fortunate,” the old gentleman was saying. “Never haye I been on a smoother salling ves- sel. You wouldp't know we were mov- ing. The waves aren't even nervous.” “Pardon me,” broke in Jimmy. “We haven't started yet."™ His inimitable smile must have been contagious for Lisette smiled back at him with the most beauliful smile that commenced in her great candid eyes and rippled all over her face. From that minute Jimmy was her devoted admirer. Everyone called the lad “Jimmy,” old and young were soon under the fascination of ithe big fellow with the round, over-grown baby face. “Jimmy shadows that pretty little Honolulu girl all over the deck,” said the captain’g wife. “Yes, and that old grandfather shad- Ows them both.' Just as soon as he's eomfortab!y seated in his steamer chair, engrossed in some novel, he spies his granddaughter with Jimmy, and he's off after them.” “Jimmy came from the same town as we do,” continued the captain’s | wife,sand through some influence se- cured the appointment of paymaster been a birthday present to him, as I've rarely seem him without it except When he scowls resentfully at Lisette’s grandfather.” Each day ripened the friendship be- ifween Jimmy and Lisette.

Last ' the best of all.” 3 “'Give it to me;-I'll 'gend it to her,” sald Jimmie, raging with jealousy. When the fan was in his possession he geratched out all the names and in the small space left, wrote: “Darling, what do' you want with all those names when you can have mine for keeps? 'Received notice of my vrqmollon this morning.—Jimmie Horton.” Jimmie was again his smiling self when he received a message from Lisette saying: “I'd rather have your name than any other under the sum.

Now, the question is, how do these pests get from. the mainland to the islands. Swim? One old cottager says that he bag a theory that perhaps the parent rateés, or mice, come in luggage, like packing boxes, that convey the goods of settlers on the islands. Still; it is || possilile that they swim from the mainland. The O. C. once told the stofy that rattlesnakes now and therf Arom Rattlesnake island to the shore.
