And he broke into a groan, low and hollow as the reverberating echo of the

thunderous mass of water that circled |

him round.

‘Hallo f shouted Perey, putting both hands to his mouth after the manner of a speaking trumpet.

‘Hallo!’ came back a faint sound— faint, but still something more tang- ible than the echoes sent back by the rocky cliffs beyond—and in a minute or two, as Percy strained his eyes and ears in wild breathless expectation, a little boat swept lightly round the head- land.

A little boat with Pennie in the prow and [lugh Barton propelling it, by long, vigorous strokes.

‘We were just coming after you, sir,’ said Hugh, 2s Perey bawled forth an incomprehensible medley of welcome, reproach, and vituperation.

‘Just coming after me! I think it was high time,’ roared the irate old gentle. man. ‘Row up nearer. Lam not the Colossus of Rhodes, to span half the ocean. Quick—I can feel the water splashing against me.

Hugh leaned lazily on his oars. Pen- nic sat there serene and lovely as a sea- nymph.

‘Do you want to get off, sir?’ ques- tioned Mr. Barton.

‘Of course Ido!

‘| shall be most happy to assist you,’ observe! Mr. Barton, with the utmost courtesy, ‘but I've a little bargain to make first.’

‘A bargain, sir!’ jerked forth Percy. ‘What do you mean, sir?’

‘| mean that you have had your turn all along, sir, and that mine has come now. Before I row up a foot neirer, | must have your unconditional consent to marry your niece.’

‘| will never grant any such p2rmis- sion,’ cried Percy, growing scarlet in his indignation.

‘Hugh wheeled the head of the boat round.’

‘Oh, very well, sir, if you prefer to be drowned, I haven't a word to say.’

‘ Drowned!’ faltered Percy. ‘Stop a moment! Hold on! You would never allow me to—Hall-o-o-0-0! Isay!’

For the boat was slowly moving off, while a sudden wave, higher and strong- er than its brothers, sprinkled Pefcy’s feet with its salt spray.

‘Come back!’ roared Percy.

‘Yes or no—have I your permission ? Iam determined to marry Pennie, and she will not consent without.’

‘Yos—yer—yes!’ shouted Percy, each a‘firmative monosyllable louder than the last, jerked from him in mortal ter- ror of his life.

‘J am much obliged to you, sir,’ said Hugh, politely. ‘Hold on, I will be alongside directly.’

He skilfully guided the boat close up to the lower point of the;rock, and Percy stumbled rather than stepped in- to it, droping like$a huge rag-doll upon the seat.

‘j hope you are not very wet, uncle dear. said Pennie sweetly. ‘We hadn't the least idea the tide was rising so fast when we went to get some of those beautiful star-fish for my aquarium,’

Pennie might have spoken the truth

’ ' so far as regarded herself; but Percy |

knew from the twinkle in Hugh Bar- ton’s eye, that he at least had not been so very innocent of all cognizance of the affair. The homeward voyage was | very silent. Pennie and Hugh were} too happy to talk—Perey was too mis-|
