had not yet even lowered for a whale.

They were a quarter of a mile apart,

As I was third mate of the Sancy

feeKag which prevailed aboard the
bark. Her crew wre on the verge cf

cesce alarmed for hi owu safety. The

aad ca the dcy he ran dowa to us had
coaie to the dt ci-kjti that if the run of
21 lack was not broken they woaM
compel fair i to retara to Bristol with

broke water within half a miV of the
two craft. We got him aboard of his
ship ae saca as possible, bet long
encash before he reach d her his mutes

was 2 o'clock ia the afternoon, and we
knocked oS work to see the fun.
There were those aboard of the Bain
bow who said it was the same whale
which had killed two mea aad smashed
a boat so the aorta of Sc. Helena. Be

extent of the calamity became known,
open nmtiny resulted.
The men demanded that the Rainbow
be headed for Bristol, aad two hoars
later she laid her coarse for that port
and left a&. Never did a more dis
gruntled crew reach port. The owners
at once removed Captain Travers from

was three months before the bark start

prestige, but she was still looked upon
as a lacky craft and there was no lack
of applicants when she was ready for

A Y0O0 DIPLOMAT.
The prcadest sometimes unbend, and
the botanical gardens were, for one aft
ernoon, throwing off their usual re
serve. Ordinary folk had only to come
across Recent's park from Chester gate
aad present a card at the entrance to the
eardens, and the bowler hatted old gen
tleman at the gate welcomed them as
though they were most important mem
bers. !HiiS Llewellyn and Master Ken
neth Waller, her friend, walked on the
grass in the direction of music
" Anvbcdv you know here, .Hiss Llew
eilynr'7 "1 don't suppose so, Kenneth."
"Yob don't know many people, do
you. Miss Llewellyn?"
"Very few."
'-Wonder at that," said the small
boy, "becaase you're not bad looking,
you know Did you use to come here
when you were well off? Do they sell
lemonade here?"
"Seems possible. Yea think that ev
ervbedv ought to have tjltnty of
friends?"
"Plenty of friends," said Kenneth
wisely, "but one in particular. Wonder
how old yon are?"
"That, " said th young woman good
temperedly, "-that is the only question,
Kenneth, that you must never put to a
lady "
"1 should guess" he said critically
as they sat down in the low chairs near
the refreshment tent and watched the
people, "that you were aboct 26 " Miss
Llewellyn irav a quaint gesture cf hor
ror. "Weil. 25 then. Fancy!" The
small boy whistled amaaedly. "Twenty
five and aot married yet. ' '
"Young man," suid Miss Llewellyn,
flushing and affecting a tone of grave
severity. " find your conversation
niach too personal. You would like
lemonade. I tnink, and two pieces of
cake. '
The scarlet eoat?d band perched on
seats near the glass house, with a crowd
of smartly dressed folk in front cf them,
started a cheerful selection from a comic
opera. Miss Llewellyn, a composed
young woman ia an ordinary way. as
young women are who work for their
living, found herself in quite a delight
ed niccd Masic can do much when it
tries.
"Of coarse, " said her candid guest,
with cake at his mouth. "I don't mean
to say that you mightn't get married
even now. I had aa aunt once who was
elose upon 30 before she could get any
one to look at her."
"The ins-: nee is encouraging. Ken
neth. Don't eat too fast, mind. "
"Still," said the youth wisely, "if I
were a girl I should be jolly careful not
to miss a good opportunity. Are thc-e
orchids they're carrying there? Hasn't
that chap got a brown face who's telling
tke men where to take them? Seem to
have seen him somewhere feefore.
Shocldn't like to be an orchid, should
you. Miss Llewellyn? Why, you'd have
to grow oat in South America asd peo
pie would have fearful trouble to fiud
you and riik their lives hello, brown
faced chap's coming this way!"
Miss Llewellyn looked up and then
looked dow u again quickly, and for a
moment her face went rather white.
Her band trembled as she held it cut.
"Mr. Bradley, "she said. "How do
vqu do? 1 did not expect to see you
here. '
"1 did not expect to see you again
anywhere, ' he said.
There was the paase that comes after
the banalities of greeting. Master Wal
ler, not having spoken for quite half a
minute, felt that he was in some dan
ger of being overlooked, and coughed.
"This is my little friend, Kenneth
Waller," she said. "Kenneth, this is
Mr. Bradley."
"What's the matter with your face?"
asked the tb-H bo v. "Have yoa been
abroad?"
Mr. Bradley placed a broad fist on
the round iron table and least d down
toward Master Waller good uatsredly.
He seemed as coaf ased at the meeting
as Miss Llewellyn, and as unprepared
with conversation.
" 1 have been abroad, young man I've
been hunting orchids. ' '
"Are you home for gtjed now?" asked
Llewellyn gripped the parasol
that rested in her lap with both bands.
"1 can't do any good-at home. " said
Mr. Bradley. "I am oa" again to South
America in a day or two. "
"Why don't you stay in London?"
"Nobody asks me to stay. "
"Should have thought. " said Master
Waller, "that you could have got sorae
fcccy to do that. Have you any foreign
postage stamps about you?"
Friendship between the two gentle
men was cemented and made permanent
by the production, of several foreign
stamps and an envelope to place thera
in. People were coming up to the re
freshment tens now, the band having
decided to rest far half an hour and re
cover breath, and Master Waller invited
Mr. Bradley to take his rhnrr
"Yqg don't mind?r" asked Bradley-
at Miss -LJeweilyn.
"No at all," she said politely.
"May j smoke?'
Les me strike the match, " inter
posed Master Waller. "I'm awfully
good at that. And tell us some of your
adventures.'
"They wouldn't interest Miss Llew
ellyn. "Girls don't count," said Master
Waller. "Tell me. Make it ene where
you nearly lest your life"
So 10 or 15 minutes weve thus occu
pied, the TffnTl boy seated en Bradley's
knee and staring at him with, open
mcjuthed astonishment. Mis Llewellyn,
her head bowed, studied the band pro
gramme in apparently a laborious search
for the misprints that a musical pro-
grtT-trnp- alwavscfiEis. Endley told the
story well, without obtruding his own
share in the adventure, and when he
had finished punched the small boy hu
morously to bring him back from South
America to Regent's park.
"And. is that story true?" asked the
gmsTl boy respectfully.
"It has that drawback, youngster."
"Well," said Master Waller, "I'm a
man that's awfully fond of adventure,
but I shouldn't care for that. What did
you think of when that fierce animal
was waiting to spring upon you?"
"Guess."
"Can't, " said Master Waller. "Can
you, Miss Llewellyn?"
She shook her head and again became
interested in the band programme.
Bradley looked at her and waited fcr
her to speak, but she made no sign.
Now, silence may at times be tolerable
for grown up folk, but for impatient
young men like Master Waller it brings
nothing but weariness.
"Is there any chance of seeing these
orchids, Mr. Bradley?" asked the youth.
"It'll be something to brag about to my
people if I could just gee a sight of
them."
"Well all go over to the marquee
and have a look. Miss Llewellyn, will
you come, or shall we leave you here?
There's rather a crush. " .
"Let's leave her," suggested Master
Waller. "Miss Llewellyn likes being
alone."
"I think I will stay here, " she said.
"We ierin.1T be back in ten minutes,"
said Bradley.
Master Waller had to trot to keep up
with the long strides of his new friend,
but he did not mind this because he felt
a kind of reflected glory in being accom
panied by the man who had brought
home some of the rarest of the amazing
specimens in the crowded tent.
"Girls are a nuisance, aren't they?"
said Master Waller, looking up confi
dentially. "Sometimes, " said Bradley.
"She isn't so tiresome, though, as
some. "
"I think-1 agree with you there."
"Works awfully hard too hard, my
mamma says. '
"No necessity for that surely," said
Bradley rather sharply.
"But, Miss Llewellyn has to live."
urged the small boy. "My mamma says
that she war- well off for a year or two
before her father died, but since that"
HHer father dead?"
"Here, I say," said Master Waller.
"Don't crip a man's shoulder like that.'
"Sorry f"
"They come into money, so my mam
ma says, a few years ago"
"I remember that. "
"Aad then Miss Llewellyn's govern
or put all into something, and it never
came out again. That's why she has to
manage the ealisthenic school that I go
to. And I say. Can you touch your toes
with the tips of your fingers without"
"Where does she live now?" Mr.
Bradley seemed excited.
"Ia rooms," replied Master Waller
volubly. "I've been there to tea along
with my sisters. (That's a fine orchid
there. You can't see it now. A girl's
hat's in the way. ) And Miss Llewel
lyn's got awfully nice furniture and
photographs, ami" Master Waller
slapped his knee suddenly. " t remem
ber now where I ve seen your iaee be
fore, Mr. Bradley. Only without the
short beard."
"Come outside," said Bradley, "and
tell me."
They made their way through the
crowd and reached the exit Bradley
held his breath and bens to hear the
small boy's reply.
"On her dressing table," whispered
Master Waller confidentially, "in the
beautifullest frame you ever saw, and
Where are you going?"
"Back to Miss Llewellyn," cried
Bradley.
"Weil, but," said Master Waller
protestingly, "wait far me."
Bradley did not obey the young man.
He strode across the lawn, past the
band, which was playing a quick march
that was aot quick enough to keep pace
with him. Before Master Waller found
the two there had been a swift exchange
of low sentences that altered their views
of the world and made them both think
of it as a place where happiness is to be
found.
"And why did vou refuse me before,
dear?"
"Because all my people pressed me to
accept you." said Miss Llewellyn.
"The excuse of a very obstinate young
woman."
"Why did you why did you not ask
me again?" she demandeiL
"Because," said Bradley, "it was
just then that your father came into
that money. "
"The excuse of a very independent
man, " said Miss Llewellyn, touching
with pretty affection the big hand that
rested on the round table. "When
when it is that you leave for South
America?"
"Not until you tell me to go, dear,"
he said promptly.
"Here, I say," cried Master Waller,
arriving after some difficulty, 4 'you
two, don't lose sight of me, mind I Miss
Llewellyn, have I been a good boy?"
"I've a great mind to kiss you, Ken
neth. " she said.
"Rather have some more lemonade."
"As Kenneth declines your sugges
tion." said Bradley, signaling to a
waiter, "mav I venture to submit mv
seif" "Hush."' said Miss Llewellyn.
