MEADOWS' WAMINGr.
Ben Holding was a tall, handsome
young fellow, in a much better position than I, but I never envied him that
or anything else till he came between
me and pretty Lizzie Meadows. She
was an orphan and lived with her grandfather, Luke Meadows, the oldest fisherman in the Tillage. Had she -wished it
she might have had all the . lads in the
place at her feet, bnt even in her childish days, when her companions fought
for the privilege of buying toys or sweets
for her or of carrying her books when
she trotted to school, she would give
them no reward but a smile or a glance
from her dark eyes. Her childish kisses
were reserved for me. To me only she
told her childish secrets and brought
her childish troubles.
But now she was a woman grown and
no longer lavish of her favor. She was
quiet and shy. And old Luke, being
naturally very careful of his treasure,
guarded her so jealously that it became
each day more and more difficult to obtain speech with her. It was bnt seldom
now that I was allowed to look in at the
cottage of a Sunday evening, as I had
beeii in the habit of doing regularly
from a boy. But that troubled me the
less inasmuch as the permission was
not granted to any one else.
At length, however, it began to be
whispered about that Ben Holding went
very frequently to Meadows' .cottage
and was doubtless paying attention to
his granddaughter. This was the more
surprising, as the young man had till
very recently been working at a place
some 20 miles to the north, and, to my
certain knowledge, there was nothing
between the two when he first went
there. His work must have brought him
in a good round sum, for ho went fishing now in a boat of his own and had
taken a cottage all to himself, instead
of living iu a single room or boarding in
a family, as was tlie custom with the
young fishermen round about.
However, I gave little heed to such
gossip. Lizzie always greeted me with
a smile when we met, and Meadows
was, if anything, rather more friendly
than he had been for some time. Moreover, if by chance I did spend an evening at the cottage, I never came across
Ben Holding. He used to go by on Sundays on his way to the meetings of the
Plymouth Brethren, where he was a constant attendant, but he never staid to
chat more than five or ten minutes, and
what he said to the girl all the world
might hear.
I went down to Meadows' place one
Sunday afternoon with the intention of
telling Lizzie how it was with me and
of asking her to he my wife. It would
be tbe best way, I thought, of putting
an end to the talk of the village, which
did not please me, though it caused me
no anxiety. I had lately had a raise in
my wages and was promised a further
increase at the end of the year, so I
hoped to satisfy Meadows as to my prospects.
I cannot tell if he suspected my intention, but it was in vain I sought for
an opportunity of speaking to Lizzie
that evening. Meadows talked without
ceasing, and Lizzie herself seemed more
occupied than usual. Instead of sitting
still sho flitted around the kitchen,
doing one thing or another, now reaching down plates from the topmost shelf
of the dresser, then bending over the fire
where, contrary to her custom on a Sunday, she had two or three pots to attend
to. I was so absorbed in watching her
movements that I fear I made but an
indifferent listener to Meadows' old
time yarns. It was a delight to, me tq
note the graceful turn pf hey fjgnre, to,
watch \he color deepening on ljer. cheek

qf- her dark hair. Ljzzia }aughin.g}y
turned ns ou6 at last, saying she wanted,
tq s,e| tfee kitchen to rights and we were.
\i\ the way- I offered to help her, bnt
{h.e pld man would not hear ot my doing anythin? and carried me off to the
porch to smoke a pipe with him.
We had not sat there long before I saw
Ben Holding in the distance, evidently
making his way toward us. So little did
I fear him hat I was actually glad to
see him, thinking he would take off
Meadows' attention and give ma a
chance of a word with Lizzie. Bni I
soon saw tb it was not to be. After shaking hands - ith lis Ben strode into the
kitchen, and, though we followed him
.immediately, he had found time to give
her a little note, for I saw her hide it
in her dress as I came in.
I soon di covered he had been invited
to supper, and the dishes Lizzie had
been taking so much pains with wer*
prepared ii- his honor. When we sat
down to taDle, the talk turned on mat-'
ten of whu a I know nothing and could
talo no part in. Lizzie asked question
after question about Holding's cottage
and displayed such -an intimate knowledge of its arrangements that it was
clear to me the subject had been often
discussed between them. What could
this mean but that the house was furnished for her as Holding's wife? Meadows smiled placedly and looked on
With an air of approval that well nigh
maddened me. I turned cold and sick,
but though I never spoke and hardly
touched a morsel on my plate they paid
no heed, but continued to laugh and joke
over their own affairs. At last I could,
stand it no longer, and rising frprn tlig
fable abruptly said, it was tana tp jjq
home. Then for the first time Lizzie
seemed to perceive my agitation, for
she blushed and looked confused.    .
"Are " you going out tomorrow,
George?" Meadows asked as I bade him
good night.
"Of course," I said briefly. "Why
not?"
"I don't like the look of the weather," he explained. "I was just going
to say so when Ben came up this evening. I am not one to counsel any man
to stay at home when there's work to be
done, but industry is one thing and
rashness • is another. It's blowing up
for a gale, take my word for it, lads.
There'll be mischief tomorrow, I warn
you."
"What then?" I rejoined sullenly.
" 'Twon't be the first gale I've been
out in, nor the last, maybe. And if it is
nobody will care."
"No man has aright to throw his life
iway," urged the old man solemnly.
"What's come to you, George? That's
not like yon. I hope you will take my
advice, Ben, anyway, for- the Mermaid
is not seaworthy. You'll rue the day
you bought her, if you don't look ont."
"We'll see it how it is in the morning, "Ben said hopefully,
"Anyhow, you can't say nobody
cares," I heard Lizzie whisper. And
then sho went on, half to herself, "And
George has no right to say such things."
I went out, and to my surprise Holding followed me. I hurried on, thinking to avoid him, but he soon caught
me up. The sky was cloudy and dark,
and on one side was an irregular streak of
grayish yellow light where the moon
was struggling to break through. I saw
no cause for old Luke's warning, nor
did Holding, it appeared, for he began:
"What can Meadows mean, Powell? It
is a dirty night, no doubt, but 'twill
clear before morning, I should think.
What say you?''
"I think so,- too," I answered between my set teeth.
"But he is not one to croak, and he
is very rarely out in his predictions,"
Ben continued. "Would it not be wiser
to stay on shore?"
"Do so, by all means, if you are
afraid," I replied, with a sneer. "Yon
are your own master.''
The taunt stung him, I could see,
dark as it was, but he kept his temper
and only said: "I don't deserve that.
George, and no one knows it better than
you do.    What ails you tonight?"
•' "Taiu't your business."
"Are you in trouble? Can I do anything?"
"You can hold yonr tongue."
"What will Lizzie say?"
"She'll care as little as you or any
one else. How dare you talk of Lizzie
to me? Go your own way and let me go
mine."
"Nay,   Powell,   listen,"   he began,
but I would not stay to hear.    I  broke
away from him and ran down a narrow
lane that led to my lodging.  I was boil-

First, and mainly, because carpets are now lower than they have ever been beforo.or ever will be
