Hn Ocean Hccniaintancc

By Claude Pamarcs Cepyight. 13.5, Ly Homer Fprarjne The reat sUvimcr plowed its way onward, each throb of tlic fiic'.ue3 bringing her neaicr to the destined havea. Far up in tl.e bow stood a man and a woman waUxiiu throuli the davkns ?. Plymouth would be reach ea e:?riy next moruin?. In silence the two fto xl gazing at the distant lights now beginning to flaoh out. TLL meant the close of the voyage, the end of a week of rare companionship. At lirst the man had paid but scant heed to the slender, dark eyed woman who faced him at the long table. He was off for a rest and did not care to meet people. Dut something in the quiet, restrained glance attracted him. and later, when he saw her on deck struggling with steamer rugs, it seemed only civil to oJIer his assistance. Henceforth they fell into the way of being together. They read and criticised each other's books and m.gnzines, they spent much time pacing the deck, and now had come the last night of it all. She was leaving the sh'p at Plymouth; he was going on to Cherbourg. The man was the first to speak. "And am I never to see you again?" he asked. She shook her head. "It Is very unlikely." "You mean" ho demanded. "I mean that it Is best not." was the quiet answer, but he bent rebelliously closer. "Listen," he said determinedly. "I know that It is far too soon to speak, that you have known me barely a week, yet when you talk in this way aay that we shall not meet again" "You know nothing of me either," broke in the woman hurriedly "who I am or whence I come." "I know you are the loveliest and sweetest Avonian in the world," he said, with a stubborn frown, "and that I" "Xo, no," cried iie sharpiy. Then he lifted her head. "I have not told you the whole truth." she said, a quiet dignity in her bearing. "I am indeed Mrs. Kaymond, and my husband is dead, but I am also Russell Panoroft's sister." 'P;mToft.s sister." lie repented the word Incredulously. "Iiancrof .sister." 1 1 is voice betrayed only an amazed bewilderment, but the woman, sensitively alive to every intonation, heard or fancied a certain hidden repugnar.ee beneath the surprise. Her breath fluttered; then she pulled herself together. "Sq.jC am sure you will agree Hh me ttoSft ' any further friendship between us is impossible," she said chvtrly. ".Good uight and goodby." Before he could divine her Intention she had stepped toward the companionway. The next moment She was gone. The man turned back to the rail. "Bancroft's sister," he said again, his eyes resting vaguely, unseemingly upon the tumbling waters. "Bancroft's aister." Below in the narrow little cabin Mrs. ltaymond threw harself upon the bunk. The heavy tears hung upon her lashes. He hated her then. She wondered at it in a dull sort of way. Yet who really could wonder that the very name of Bancroft should be distasteful in his ears? She knew the whole wretched story. The two men had been chums at school, roommates at college. She recoilected the tall lad whom Kusseil had brought home for an occasional visit. Then had come Cortwright's engagement. The cards were out, the wedding dress finished. Bancroft was to be best man. And then two dayr? Iiofm-n lm il'ii t !?! nriv?i t!i in"i. V ed, the beloved friend, had tied with his chum's bride, leaving a wild, incoherent note in which they pleaded theii unconquerable affectum. Child as she had been, Mrs. Raymond well remembered the tremendous excitement it had stirred, her passionate sympathy for the half stunned Cortwright. But the affair slid into history, liko everything ch;e. After that Kusseil and his wife lived abroad. She herself had grown up, married and become a widow. Her marriage had not proved exac tly a success, yet she had mourned her husband deeply and sincerely, never considering the possibility of her marrying again. -Then hail come this steamer acquaintance with a man singularly congenial in tastes and ideas. Her learning of his identity had been a shock. She feltthat in honesty she must reveal herself. Yet every day she lot pass nmde the task more dimcult. And now what she had most feared had come to pass he shrank from the sister of his faithless friend. The woman on the bunk started up in sudden fierceness. It was not fair. What part had she in that old deed: She must see him again explain. She did not know exactly what t3 say, but the impulse carried her out int j the corridor. It was not late. Perhaps he would join her again on deck. v But as she turned into the passageway which led to his door and lifted her hand to knock a swift realization of what she was about to do swept over her with an intolerable rush of shame. What! Appeal to the pity of any man? For had he truly loved her he would not have let her go. Dominated by this reasoning, she turned and fairly ran back to her cabin. There, with bowed head, motionless save for soft, catching breaths, she waited until the steward came to call her. It looked very cheerless In the big room. A few persons were clustered about one end of a long table. She cast a aul :k glance about hardlT know

ing t it what she hoped, but he was not there. The steward brought eggs and coffee, and she managed a cup. Then she went oa deck. The rain was dripping dismally. Ilert and there a light glimmered faiutij through the thick mist. So that was Plymouth. The gang plank leading tc the tender was steep an. I slippery. People moved through the dusk like disembodied spirits. It was all very gloomy and very forlorn, and despite herself she shivered. The gang pianl; was pulle l hi. The band, huddled into a damp group oe the steamer's deck, brake forth with a lively air. A man standing near by laughed. "If one has to be awake at such an hour it is a comfort to know that nc one else can sleep either," he observed grimly. "It would be hard to sleep throagh that racket," assented his companion. At the voice she started violently. Was it could it be Cortwright? For a moment she scarcely breathed, thrilled between ecstasy and fear. Then a dark figure detached itself from the fog and came to her. "It is you," said the voice, and this time unmistakably it was Cortwright's. "I wasn't sure at first." "But you!" gasped the woman. "Your ship Cherbourg?" "Hang Cherbourg," said he cheerfully. Then his voice dropped. "Do you think that you were very kind to me awhile back?" he asked gravely. "Wasn't It rather mean to spring a surprise of that sort on a man and then run before he could recover?" "Oh!" expostulated she weakly. Thin was a new view of the matter. "I thought It was because you didn't care," he went on. "You know, you wouldn't wait, wouldn't give me a chance to speak. I thought perhaps anyway, I felt mighty blue when I went below. Then I found this." She could just glimpse the tiny square of lawn that he showed her. "It lay on the carpet near my door, and it told me it told me Ah, sweetheart," he cried, a sudden subdued exultation ringing through his tone, "that gave me the courage to come. It told me that perhaps you felt sorry for me; that perhaps you, too, cared just a little bit that you might listen to me. Was 1 wrong, dear? Will you marry me?" The mist was drifting out to sea. The clouds had broken, and in the east appeared a g'.ow of crimson find gold. The sun was rising in all its splendor nnd majesty. The rain w:is over. For a moment the woman gazed with wide, g'.ad eyes at the newborn day; then s.e turned to meet the man's eaer cntre-ily. "I will marry you whenever you like," she s;iid.

Not a Traeretl y. They ha walked halfway through the park, and suddenly she sat down on a bench. He sat beside her. They were entirely alone save for an old man at one end of their seat immersed in a book. Their 'agitated conversation continued : "Oh, it is too dreadful!" she shuddered as she covered her face with her hands as if to shut out some unbearable sight. "Fearful," he agreed, deeply moved and mopping the perspiration from his brow. "Horrible," she added. "I cannot bear to think of It. The loss of hope, happiness, perhaps" even life itself." "Hush!" he interrupted gently! "Let us no longer think of it or it may grow to prey on ourrminds." "Pardon me," said the old man on the end of the seat, his watery eyes distended in lively apprehension, "has there been some awful disaster? Have you been forced to look upon some awful tragedy?" The young people regarded each other in some confusion. Hesitatingly the youth answered: "No-sir. You see, we have just become engaged, and we were talking of what a calamity it would have been had we never met." Derivation of Fntl. The derivation of the word "fad" is possibly traceable in the Welsh language. By the law of mutation of initial consouants peculiar to that to'ngue the root words ffedd and medd are convertible terms. Their essential meaning is possession; transitive or intransitive, possession of something or the act of being possessed or engrossed by some occupation or vice. Welsh medd and Irish, Sanskrit and English mad have similar meanings and are probably kindred words. The word mad is not common in Teutonic idioms, so that the Anglo-Saxons probably borrowed it from the Welsh. Fad is therefore equally derivable from ffedd. Proximately, of course, it comes from the midland dialects and ultimately from some root word common to many members of the Aryan family of speech. It would be strange if the two words, mad and fad, having a similar meaning, should be traceable to the same root. Notes and Queries. Tbe Shrike, or Batcher Bird. There is a strange little bird, about as b'jj a3 a robin, which nearly every winter brings us. He is general! v alone, like a tiny black and gray hawk In many of his ways, but related truly to the gentle vireos and waswings. He is the northern shrike, or butcher bird, and he gets a cruel living by catching mice and little birds, which he hangs on locust thorns, sharp twigs or the points of a wire fence, as his little feet, unlike the hawk's, aie not strong enough to hold his prey. But he is a handsome fellow, and rarely one may hear a very sweet little song as he sits on tbe top of some lenfless bush, particularly late in the winter. But generally he Is silent, like the true birds of prey, or at best gives only a rasping tqueal. -St Nicholas.
