Nearer and closer the dear girl pressed to his side. and closing her eyes again. like one. who. waking from a pleasant dream. all ives to woo back the sweat delusion that wakefulness dispels. It was long before either spoke; their hearts were too full. they were far too happy to speak.

In a grove near by walked two persons enjoying the bland air laden with fragrance that was waited from the country beyond. They were engaged in earnest conversation. and evidently the subject was One. a young man of fine and pleasing exterior, whose countenance was glowing with enthusiasm—presented a fit model for a scalp. tor. His face was handsome. and his hearing man- ly. yet lender to the girl by his side. She might have been two years younger than her companion : small in figure. and possessing a sweet form, and be- ing so unaffected and naturally lovely. that you would have paused in admiration at her appearance. It rsquirsd no prophel’s eye to decide that they were lovers. but to the reader one is already known t it is Nydia the Ilsher girl. her earliest youth. but never until now had he do. ‘ I am all amassment,’ replied the young girl. al- ‘ But none the less happy.

The fair girl smiled her a probation, as they turn- ed towsrds her father’s also e. ' Alszsr. have you notiosd‘the folncea yoodsrf’ asked the old fisherman. ' Until this moment. no.’ replied the young ass- man. with some curiosity. ‘I should know most crafts of her tonnage that might be found between Candis and the Dardanellas. but she comes from below Malta or the Ionian is os.’ ' But what can such a felucca be doing bereaway! ‘ asked Alasar. ‘Ay. that’s what puules me; she's too light for a trading vessel. and too poorly equipped for a smuggler or a corsair. By our lady. but she sssats tacking for our coast! The fisherman spoke truly; as there floated elit- tlo to the north of the isle of Scioa small felucca- rigged craft that had stood thus far north against the current. and now. after allowing for the southerly drift. was evidently bent upon makia a harbor on the shore of Negropoat. She was 0 humble else even for a fisherman, but what pnszled the father of Nydis and the young seamaa whom hovaddresaad. was to know what business could bring the stranger in that direction. For men of their class were so well posted up is nautical matters. that they could read a vessel's business as well by a sight atlhsr running gear, as a midshipman could by a look at her manifest; besides they knew everything that floated in the Archipelago. unless it were vessels of the long voyage. ships that came through the Straits of Gibraltar. square-rigged, and generally wearing the cross of St. George. Unable to classify the felucca. the two watched her with a suspicious eye until she was safely moor- ad near by their own fishing crafts. when a small boat pulled by a couple of seamen. and containing a third in the stern. hauled up to the landing. He in the stern leaped on shore, and giving some orders. to the other two. who pulled back to the felucca. he approached the spot where Nydia's father audAlaa- ar stood watching his movements. The new comer was dressed in the costume of a Greek seaman, but rather moro elaborately than those whom he now approached. He wore high top boots. a heavy lcathsrn bolt. and a large buckle to hold it in place. The belt supported a pair of pistols and a heavy hanging blade. such as was worn In those days by masters of trading crafts in the bled- iierraneau. His hair was slightly tinged with grey. and his face was bronzed to that dark bus which the exposure of years to the one produces. There was an easy. Jaunty air about the stranger. however. that showed he had seen some good society in his day. and he bore a manly eye and generous ex— pression upon his face. - A fair night to you. friends.’ said the new comer, apprcaeliing. -‘ Is this not Negropsat ?’ ' It is. most surely,’ replied the old seamen. ‘You must be a stranger in these seas.’ ‘True. I was making my way up to Corfu In the Msrmora. and thought i: would be beat to lay by for the night. Could I get lodgings on shore!‘ ‘ I have a cottage and a bed. te which you are welcome.’ replied Nydia’s father. though. truth to say. the old fisherman himself disliked the idea of In. vitu'irizl theistralplger to his board. ’.
