Wer fine clothes were laid aside and Mother Ktpperly made a calico dress for her, in which she might have been scen funning over tho sand barefooted to jmmect Jack when he came home at night, er to bid him good-by whan he went out in the early morning. Jack never got | gtarted so “arly that Mabdeile was not fap, and ready te see hie off. ‘Tho child loved the boy, and the boy foved the child. ‘Their mutual affection qwaa notorious, When tho little girl was wick, ste wanted nono to rock her to sleep but only Jack; and when she was qwell, it was with Jack best of all she Mked to play. She would leave the ‘ether children at any time to take @ walk around the cove with him, and many a time he took her alone with him fm his: boat, far out beyond the bay. When the water was warm he @ught ber to swim, too, and she could dar through the lapping waves like a fish with a head of sunny halr, Mother Kipperly, who loved her too, called her the “mermaid.” Next to her love for Jack Mabelle Pored the ocean, She would piay by It ali day long, from early {n the morning (ill jate at night. When it was calm ‘and green and. shiny, she danced about on the sands, Just wetting her feet in the water, and shouting over the softly roaring deep; and when the ocean was wild ard gray, or sullon and amuttering “Mabelie wore a frown on her face and mwas very. wilful, and raced wildly alo the shore, as if she were defying the big. waves to catch her and carry her oft *®¢o the mysterious green depths over gehich.on calm days she had gazed so eften, Jack alone she liked to have near vier on such occasions, There wad never a.time when she did not like to have Jack with her, for Jack seemed to un- feerstand and sympathize with all her moods, and she with all Jack's moods. ‘So ten years passed by.

It 1s certainly remarkable that th moment which witnesses Marcont's triumph should also view the completion of the long-dreamed of British cable, which completely circles the earth, and the actual beginning of work on the late John W.
