A SOUTH SEA ISLAND ROMANCE. A BOY AND GIRL LIVE ALONE ON AN ISLAND.

The children were then eight years of age. On board the schooner was Paddy Button, an old Irish sailor, who still believed in fairies and still drank rum. The children adored him, and loved to listen to his stories. He was the sort of man who usually did the wrong thing la the eyes of men, but always the right thing In the eyes of children. . FIRE AT SB*. -' One day a Are broke out in the batch, and had too strong a hold to be extinguished. In the panic that ensued, the two children and old Paddy Button, the sailor, were pat" to sea in the dinghy, while Mr. Lestrange, the Captain, and the rest of the brew were hurried off in the long-host. . .. ' . A PACIFIC FOG. That night a thick fog; that seemed to roll on:the sea in billows hid the two boats ln_lts vast blanket. When morning broke• tney were out or sigh* or each other. After many tragic hours on the sea, Paddy and the two children' came across sderelict, and climbing aboard round what appeared to Paddy to "he treasure indeed.. There was a telescope, a pair or brogues, trousers, and a rou of sallelotb. They spent that night aboard the old derelict. Early next morning Emmeilne declared that she smelt "something nice." like flowers. As the full light of dawn crept, over. •; the horizon Paddy shouted: "Childer, there's an island 'fornlnt us." They hurriedly '. got into the dinghy, and made for the Island. . , ..<• ■-. ■:.',_,..? 4 ; ASHORE THE TROPICAL ISLAND. -v.-i v 5SJ at .,S.. 1)e , amlrul Ifhind it wan—evidently one of those small lost Islands that, lis i ™Ki. tnere s £ utn DV cas » of the Marqaesas.

So this was their new hornet for how not, and the children, delighted with their rasclnatlng playground, wished for nothing , better.
