I would willingly have nt under the break-water all tbe after noon, watching tbe baby waves lapping npos tbe sands, and laying driblets of brow a and green seaweed on the shore. bile Iteggle brought me wet pebble and little dried up crabs and empty mussel bells, but Kolf wanted me to help with bl sand castle: indeed, we were all pressed into tbe service; even Reggie dug up tiny dabs of sand and flung lliern at us, tinder the belief that he was helping, too. What a pretty scene it was, when the caatle was finished, and its ramparts adorned with loug green festoons and pennants of brown rihbou seaweed: and Reggie sat at the top kicking his little bare legs with delight, while Kolf dim the trench down to the sea. which filled and bubbled over in a niiulalure lake, in which disported the luckless crabs and Jelly flh which ha had collected for hi aquarium. There is something sad in tbelrsnsltori. ness of children's play on the shore; they are so eager to build up their sand tow ers and mounds. When the feeble structure Is finished the little work people give a then armed myself with my pocket dio cry of joy, as though some great task tiunary.

Then the waves creep J my mistress, and tell her altout our after up stealthily; there is a little cold liapiiig i noon on the beach, aud I would pick out outside the out-works, aa though the treacherous foes were lurking around: in a few seconds the toy castle is lu ruins. Tbe children look at tbe gray pool tbat has Ingulfed their treasure with wide, disappointed eyes. "Oh, the greedy tea," they say, "it has destroyed our castle!" Hut tomorrow they will come again with beautiful child ish faith aud build another, and still an other, until some new game is proposed. or they are weary of play. It was quite late In the afternoon when ws turned our face homeward. Joyce was tired, so we put ber In the peramhu- lator, and I carried Iteggle. Rolf hung behind rather sulkily; fatigue evidently uiade him cross; but he brightened up in au instant when tbe sound of horses' hoofs struck ou our ears, and in another moment a little cavalcade came In sight I Miss Chenton mounted on her pretty brown mare Hrownle, and her father anil Mr. Hawtry on either side of her. She smiled and waved her hand to us. and Mr. Hawtry raised his hat slightly. They would have passed on, but Rolf ex claimed, "Oh, Uo lake me up for a ride, Mr. Hawtry, I am so tired!" aud Mr. Haw. try looked at Miss I'herlton, and pulled up at once. Hut your root on my oooi, men, ana i can reach you, ' lie returnea: aim as nau- ah lifted blm up, not without difficulty, e threw his arm round him, and kept im steady. "Now, then, hold tight; we mnst overtake the others," 1 heard him say, and they were soou out of sight "It must be werry nice to ne uoir. luhed Joyce, enviously, as Hannah heeled her up tbe dusty roaa.

He was lit high spirits, and talked voln bly nil the time.

Oh, (lo yon think so? 1 will ask Aunt Oay wbnt she thinks. Aunt Gay is so fond of vou: she told nie so to-uay, ouiy she said it was a secret, so you must keep It. I told Mr. Hawtry the story altout the robber servant this evening after din ner. nnd he said that he was a plucky fellow. In suite of his being a roolier; ana so I think, uo you u&e Mr. Hawtry, Fenny?" "I do not know him, dear. "Oh, no, of course, you are ouly a nurse. and so you don't come in the drawing- room like other people: you would not know how to behave, would your Mr, Hawtry said something about, you this evening. Mother wns talking to him, you know bow. only I can t tell you oreaa aud salt, you kuow;" aud here Kolf looked excessively solemn: "and Mr. Hawtry ald-o, don't stop me, it Is nothing naa, nothing like mother; oh, dear, it will come out, I know he onlr said. 'She seems a very unlet, well-conducted young person and not at all above her duties;' for you were carrying Reggie, you know." Oh. Rolf, do hold your tongue!" I ex claimed, crossly; for this was too much for my forbearance. What business nau Mrs. Markham to talk me over with stranger. I ought to have stopped Rolf, but uiv curiosity was too strong ai mat moment. "Aqulet, welUonducted youug oerson." Indeed! I fell In a fever of in- diirnation. Rolf looked from his Kite wim som surprise. "Uoes talking disturo your ne r getting on beautifully. What a lovely tail my kite will have!" Then, as thongh a thought struck him, "Are you ever cross, Vennv- resllv cross. I meanr' "Ye, very often, KOIf," lor oeing amir- ly conscientious person, I could not deny mv faults of temper. 'Oh I" with a peculiar Intonation, I wonder if Aunt Gay knows that.

"Wbat a lovely evening! Jiocouie into tbe garden, Adelaide; it is quite warm and balmy." Aud then there iri a rustle and movement underneath me. a sweep ol dark drapery, followed by the whisk of a white gown, a 4ay ran down tbe steps pursued by Rolf. Two gentlemen saun tered down the terrace: one of them wa Mr. Hawtry; I eonld hear his voice quite plainly. "This is a capital cigarette, squire. When a man is uot much of a smoker, he w ill not put up with aa interior article. I have some cigars by me now" Tbe remainder of the interesting sentence wan lost iu the distance. Men are rather satirical on the subject of women's talk. They cfuir us dreadful ly, aud insist that our main topic is bou eta; but 1 am uot sure that we could not retaliate with equal force. Bonnet can be treated a work of art, but could any thing lie more trivial and worthless thau a cigar? They were still talk'tg about the odious tblnys whejj they returned, only too disgusted to listen any more. I was I was in a bad humor, that was certain onV of those mood when ouly a real lough piece of work can relieve one. I closed tbe w indow and drew down the blind, and the hardest and most difficult words those that I generally eschewed. I heard afterward I had written a beau tiful letter, without a single mistake, and tbat my mistress re:td it over and over again tbat l, that she considered It beautiful, because it was all about the children. Nonsense, Merle, It was a sweet letter, and I showed It to my husband." 1 was In a better humor when I had tin- Ished It, and called Hannah. - iliiunsh, we shall go on the beacb to morrow morning, and so I shall be able to spare you In the afternoon; I shall not take the children further thanthe garden. You can go and have tea with your sister, if you like, and you need not hurry home. aiu growing far too Idle, and I have uot half enough to do;" for I wanted to check any expression of gratitude on tbe girl's part; but a tap at the door silenced us both. t was only Miss Cherlton come to wish me good night. She had a basket of fruit aud a daiutv little bunch of roses in her hand. "1 saw the light in your window, aud thought of the poor prisoner behind it. aaA I thought this would cheer you up.' layiug her prettv offering ou the table "t .m going to take you all for a drive to- morrow through Orton-on-sea; tne cmi- dren will like to see the shops and jetty. Well, good-night; I am dreadfully sleepy; to-morrow we will have auotlier talk." And then she left me alooe the roses. long with i.To be Continued!

Old-fashioned Ways of Preparing the Sea- aotialile Itetninders. The coloring and decorating of Kater eggs Is a ileasent enJoyme.nl for young people. It allows a great exercise ol taste and ingenuity, ami prettily decor ated ejjifs make a nice Faster favor to send to a friend Instead of the more com mon card. Itcaullfiil and really artistic. results can be achieved with little money and the exercise of taste, care and patience. The first step is usually to boll the eggs hard. They siiouki ne put on In cold water, which should be allowed to come to boil gradually; then the eggs must be, removed. A disregard of this precaution Is apt to result in crackwl or broken shells. .Another way Is to make a small holo In each end of he egg with a slender darning needle aud blow tbe contents out. 'liiese, egg shells am much more delleale and easily broken than the first mentioned. Sliil another method Is to remove the. con tents arid fill the shell with lluuld plas ter of Paris, which soon hardens and makes a very substantial eng. The plaster should be mUed with water un til It runs easily. If, after some plaster Is run in the shell, a few shot ara added, the egg will always maintain its upright position. The most simple way to color eggi Is to sew ribbon or calico that will fade around them and boil a few minutes. The skins of the dark red onions will color beautiful shades of yellow browns. They will give shades of crimson, light or dark, according to tho length of time the eggs are left in tho dye. Indigo dis solved In water to which oxalic acid is added in tho proportion of a leapoonfnl to a quart of tho dye gives a pretty blue. Names, dates and figures can bo put ou eggs after they are dyed by tracing tbe tellers or figures with a linn brush or a pen dipped In oxalic acid, lo tint eggs any shade, use oil paints of various hues. Itoll a piece of soft cotton eloth Into a wad and with this rub the oil paint on the eggs, being careful to take only a small quantity at a time on the dauber. Anv one who know how lo paint can decorate these tinted eggs very hand somely by putting on each some appro priate design or motto, ror a nine egg a cluster of II 1 tots of the valley or snow drop are charming. Another very sug go.sllve design is a leafless branch with a crysalls attached and the released butterfly hoxerlng near. H I wise to choose Irregular letters for the motto; gold or brotuo paint can bo used effec tively in putting tnem on. r.ggs ion, unenlorod and a slmplo design painted en tha shell are qulto satisfactory. A variety can be made by selecting light and dark colored eggs and differont size from the larger egg of the grtosi to tha tiny one, of tha bantam. ' , An Kaster ifanltnn. For sonao time before Kaster, ask mamma or 'cook to open the eggs used carefnllv. This may bo done by mak ing a small hole In t ho middle. Color the two halves of the shell, and when they are perfectly dry, fill them with candy or raisin, or put In a ribbon or som llulo gift, place the two halve. toe-ether and bide tha placo w hero they join by pasting on bright picture, or a Mac of gay paper ; men you nave nice gift for soma little friend.
