I wish you would keep away from the lighthouse, boys, Albert said, as they were getting into their boat.

Mr. Terry's family are rather sensitive people and may not like to have a lot of us trooping around their place. I am going over there this afternoon to make a sketch, and then I'll ask permission, and we'll all go there some other day.

Frank, I am going to confide something to you, and I want you to promise me on your honor not to hint it to any of our friends. When that astonished young man had promised to keep mum, Albert continued,

The fact is, Frank, I've tumbled into an adventure, and fallen in love with a girl on sight, and without having exchanged ten words with her! She is Mr. Terry's daughter, and has eyes that take your breath away, and a form like the Venus of Milo. She paints pictures that are a wonder, considering she never has taken a lesson, and has a face more bewitching than any woman's I ever saw. It is like a painter's dream.

Well, you have gone daft, old man, replied the astonished Frank, breaking into a laugh in which Albert joined, and then adding with mischief in his eyes,

Does she take good care of her teeth and fingernails, Bert?

Don't for heaven's sake mention her in the same breath with those cigarette-smoking blemishes on their sex! he answered; and then he added more pleasantly,

But you haven't heard it all yet. This unique old man, who saved me from sleeping all night in a thicket of briers, and who has opened his heart and home to me, has fallen into the clutches of--Nicholas Frye!

Great Scott! exclaimed Frank,

That I do not know yet, replied Albert;

Well, I'll do that gladly, replied Frank; and then he added with a droll smile,
gpt
It will give you a chance to say a few sweet things to this girl with the wondrous eyes, eh, Bert?

Please don't joke me about her before the rest of the crowd, said Albert;

Well, you told the truth when you said you had fallen in love with her, I guess, observed Frank;

My dear boy, replied Albert,

Gypsy had been the cynosure of all the Cape eyes, old or young, for a handsome two-hundred-ton yacht was a novelty in their little harbor. When she steamed slowly out, with Frank and his companions, in natty white duck suits, grouped on her stern, she was a pretty sight, and as she cleared the narrow entrance, the crew fired three guns and dipped her flag in honor of Albert, and then he picked his way over the rocks to the lighthouse. Uncle Terry had not returned from hauling his lobster traps, and Aunt Lissy and Telly met him at the door. It is likely that his being one of the yachting-party impressed them a little, for they were both dressed in their best. He was invited in, and then Aunt Lissy said:

Please excuse me, fur I have dinner to git, and Telly will entertain ye.

And show me her pictures, I hope,
