On the cor st of Maine to an Island
tRailey's island) where 1 bare a sum
mer cottape. My place Is on the oust
side of the island and on that side the
Atlantic wav? are anhrokem by any j
land or Shoals. so that they come
Kinging hi 'He rocks Surround*
iug the hoHSe. except on the sea side,
are fir tree*. >rhww odor Mnp pleas
antly nj*>n tlx air. ?sj>eowril> ixire In
that region. The people who tire on
Rkiley> and ?n Orr'n island. Ikhue j
next north of Bailey X are mostly ttsh
er folk, though some of them do a lit
tle fanning in vegetables nnd milk.
The several summers during my or \
enpancy of tnv cottage a girl
seventeen roars ?W -Ifyta Crofts * :i- i
her name? bronchi me nrilk Sh<- j
drove a Peat among her customers in
a little backboard wmion ilnnu by i
small horse, so ased to his mistress
stops that he woo Id stand quietly
wherever be waa placed. Myra was a I
study for an artist. Her clothes were j
of the poorest, but her free wa* i
comely and her ftpnre ft for a mode! '
for a statue. I did my own hotise- !
work aad u*ed to receive the girt at
the kitchen door, and staee I liked
her would always speak a pleasant
word One day 1 aaid to ber:
"Myra. it seems to me that It is |
nearly time you were getting a hus
band."*
"Oh. dear, no." she replied, showing
by a toss of her bead that the subject
deeply interested her "Thews no one
on the isiaad who want* tor. and 1
never ?ro i>a it. And. as for the sum |
uior visitors, the young men are all too
much tak?? up with tbc visiting girls ;
to aotlce one who peddles milk."
I bad my eye on a youag Usher I
man, to whom I had taken as much
fancy as I had for Myra. Daring the j
months of July and August he gave !
his attention to the summer visitors, j
taking them out In his mntorboat,
but after they had gone he wotiM re
turn to Ms Ashing. I went out with j
him fre?jue?ltty and hnd every confl
dence ta hts ability as a skipper There
are Dtnoeroos ledges In Otsce hay.
nnd Ned Ballard could sail among
them almost with his eyes shut. 1
was once with him In a fog some seven
or eight miles out to fhe eastward,
numerous tslands and reefs in t erven
itig between us and home Rnlh?rd
brought me Into port safely, never ly
i?g to fbr a mooiont. and when w?
landed I wKI to him
"Bow In the world did yon A> II?" j
"Oh. to me." he replied, "it's lik.- you- j
walking about In your own house in !
the dark. I notice the flow of the tide i
by the direction of the buoys I oc
cnsk?oatly get a glimpse of a lock, n
bit of shore, a point, whtch confirms ,
me In my opinion as to where I am "
This was all walntelMgabte to me. for
I had during the whole period seer
nothing but that driving fog so cv tn |

It occurred to me ttint Ned Itallard

That year Halloween came at tbe
full of tbe moon. 1 bad thempht of

Unknown to each other and contriv

Ned knew rery little about Hal

not know that on that erenlnp pirls
were liable to pet a vision of the man
