CHAPTER XXXVIII. (Continued. )

as she could; but she found this was not sufficient. The current ran westerly, and she was drifting out of her course. Then s>e remembered Hazel’s lessons, and made shift to fasten the spade to the helm, and then lashed the helm. Even this did not quite do; so she took her little oar, kissed it, cried over it a little, and then pulled manfully with it so as to keep the true course, It was a muggy day, neither wet nor dry. White Water Island was not in sight from Godsend Island; but, as soon as she lost the latter, the former became visible—an ugly grinning reef, with an eternal surf on the south and western sides,

Often she left off rowing, and turned to look,at it. It was all black and blank, ex- cept the white and fatal surf.

When she was about four miles from the nearest part of the reef, there was a rush and bubble in the water, and a great shark came after the boat.. Helen screamed, and turned very cold. She dreaded the monster, not for what he could do now, but for what he might have done. He seemed to know the boat, he swam so vigilantly behind it. Was he there when the boat upset with Hazel in it? Was it in his greedy maw the remains of her best friend must be sought? Her lips opened, but no sound. She shuddered and hid her face at this awful thought.

The shark followed steadily.

She got to the resf, but did not hit it offas she intended. She ran under its lee, lowered the little sail, and steered the boat into a nick where the shark could hardly follow her.

But he moved to and fro like a sentinel, while she landed in trepidation and secured — to the branches of a white coral rock.

She found the place much larger than it looked from Telegraph Point. It was an archipelago of coral reef incrusted here and there with shells. She could pot see all over it, where she was, so she made for what seemed the highest part, a bleak, sea- weedy mound, with some sandy hillocks about it. She went up to this, and looked eagerly all around.

Not a soul.

She called as loud as her sinking heart would Jet her,

Not a sound.

She felt very sick, and sat down upon the mound,

When she had yielded awhile to the weakness of her sex, she got up, and was her father’s daughter again. She set to work to examine every foot of the reef.

It was no easy task. The rocks were rugged and sharp in places, slippery in others; often she had to go about, and once she fell and hurt her pretty hands and made them bleed; she never looked at them, nor heeded, but got up and sighed at the interruption; then she patiently persisted. It took her too hours to examine thus, in detail one half the island; but at last she discovered something... She saw at the eastern side of the reef a wooden figure- head and a piece of the bow of the ship, with a sail on it, and a yard on that. This frag- ment was wedged into an angle of the reef and the seaward edge of it shattered in a way that strack terror to Helen, for it showed how omnipotent the sea had been. On the reef itself she found a cask with its head stove in, also a little keg and two wooden chests or cases. But what was all this to her?

She sat down again, for her knees failed her. Presently there was a sort of moan near her, and a seal splashed into the water and dived out of her sight. She put her hands on her, heart, and bowed her head down utterly desvlate. She sat thus for a long time indeed, untll she was interrupted by a most unexpected visitor.

Something came sniffing up to her and put acold nose to her hand. She started violently, and both her hands were in the air in a moment.

It was a dog, a pointer. He whimpered and tried to gambol, but could not manage it; he was too weak. However, he con- trived to let her see, by the wag of his tail, and a certain contemporaneous twist of his emaciated body, that she was welcome. But, having performed this ceremony, he trotted feebly away, leaving her very much startled, and not knowing what to think; indeed this incident set her trembling all over.

A dog saved from the wreck! Then why notaman? And why net that life? Oh, thought she, would God save that creature, and not pity my poor angel and me?

She got up, animated with hope, and recommenced her researches. She now kept at the outward edge of the island, and so went all around till she reached her boat again. The shark was swimming to and fro, waiting for her with horrible per- tinacity. She tried to eat a monthful, but, though she was faint, she could not eat. She drank a mouthful of water, and ther, went to search the very small portion that remained of the reef, and to take the yoor dog home with her, because he she had lost was so good to animals. Only his example is left me, she said ; and with that came another burst of sorrow. But she got up and did the rest of her work, erying as she went. Aftersome ecvere travelling she got near the north-east, limit, and in a sort of gully she saw ths dog, seated high on his tail. moved. So then she went to him, and when she got neers him, she saw why he would not coms, Olose by him lay the form of.a mars, nearly covered with sea- weed. The fset were visible, and so was the face, ths latter deadly pals. It was he. Ina moment she was by him, and leaning over hirs, with both hands quivering. Was he der,d? No; his eyes were closed; he was fast asleep.

alive, and then grasped both his hards and drew them up toward her. panting bosom ; and the tears of joy streamed from her eyes, as she sobbed and mtrmured over him, she knew not what : At that he awoke and stared at her. He uttered a loud ejaculation of joy and wonder, then, taking it.all in, burst into tears himself and fell to kissing her and blessing her. The peor soul had almost given himself up fox lost. And to be saved all in a moment and by her!

They could neither of them speak, but only mingled tears of joy and pratitude.

Hazel recovered himself first, and, rising somewhat stiffly lent her his arm. Her father’s spirit went out of her inthe moment of victory,:and she was all woman—sweet, loving, clingmg woman. She got held of his hand, as well as his arm, and clutebed it so, her litile grasp velvet and steel,

‘Let me feel you,’ said she; ‘but no words! no words!’

‘Wait till you seerwhat [ shall do with them,’ said he. ‘These are pearl oysters. I gathered them for you, when T had little hope I should ever see you again to give them to you.’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Dog Tax.

Sin,—In Saturday's issue of your paper I noticed a communication cover the signa- ture of ‘‘Taxpayer,” in which the writer complains bitterly because the city tax col- Iector has not paid his dog tax. On look- ing over the reports of 80-81 and -82 I find that the city collector’s pay has not been increased, although the collection of dog tax has been added to hie other duties, The city collector has therefore gratuitously performed what was previously no part of his duty.. Under those circumstances, it is not likely the collector was called upon to pay dog tax, and a man can hardly be said to have brokenalaw until he refuses to comply with its requirements, Yours, etc., ANOTHER TAXPAYER.

Agricultural Education.

pleastire to the lecture on Agricultural Education delivered by the Hor, D. Ferguson, before the Y. M. ©. Association. The subject is one well worthy the con- sideration of all clatses of the people, but particularly those vho have charge of ovr Educational Institutions. It might be supposed that the Principal of the Prince of Wales College would at least think the subject of some importance, and that he would attend to hear what was said, but he was only conspicuous by his absence. If it had been announced that some one was to lecture on.Macheth, Hamlet, or some other myth, the Professor would be the first to arrive. Now, asa matter of taste, a study of Macbeth, Hamlet, or even Julius Cesar may be more agreeable to the Pro- fessor and others than the study of agricul- ture. But the question arises which do the people derive the most benefit from, Nearly one-half the revenue of the Island is paid for the education of our youth, and it is only reasonable that the taxpayers should ask that their children should receive such an education as will enable them to fight the battles of life. To educate young men or women in sych a way that they will have to leave the Island. to utilize that education, may be ascurce of glory, but there is no profit in it. Whether the State should pay for teaching what is of no prac- tical benefit to the Siate, or the individual that is taught, is a questicn that is engaging the attention of many at the present time. Indeed, it isa question the Government of the country will have to grapple with at an early day. The cost of education on this Island is altogether beyond our micans, and some, of the useless branches must be lopped off. Perhaps the best thing the

Government could do would be to devote the money now expended on Prince of Wales Cvollege to agri-

cultural education. For quite a number of years the Island has been paying large sums of moné'y to enable young men to become lawyers and doctors, and it is time that the farmer should have fairplay. Toa large extent it is the product of the |farmer’s lalhor that supports all the profes- sions, and, it is the duty of the Government to see tliat they do not force him to work at a Cisadvantage.

Aw this is a subject of great importance I will, with your permission, return to it again.

Yours truly, O. K.
