The idlers had just risen troin the breakfast table. To this latter elass belonged the young man who leaned lazily over the piazza railing and looked ab sently out on the lake, Reside him, in a huge chair, sat a little woman rocking to ami fro, with an untir ing movement, and with deft lin gers plying in and out among bright silks and crewels. She was idle loo, in her woman's laborious way, but there was a lack of repose in tier indolence that, made it restful to turn again tojicr brother, who stood with statuesque inaction, looking into the still water below. VVliat arc you going to do to day'/’’ the little, woman asked. “Nothing.” “There’s a great deal going on, and very nice sort of people, too. Do you see that pretty girl down there at the landing?” “The one with red?’.’ “Vos; don’t you think she’s ■pretty?” “1 hadn't thought of it. “Well, she is—remarkably. Wouldn’t yon like to meet her? I could easily manage it.” “I am not particular. Is shu worth while?” “Hen., you exasperate me. Do you take an interest in anything?” “1 don’t do anything else in Wall street." I’m off duty’now. I believe in resting in a philosophi cal sort of way.” “ifell, I suppose you arc tired, poor fellow! 1 know how you feel. I am tired myself, most of the lime.” “Tired! I look like it,” laughed the young man. “I’ll tell you jtow it is: I simply want my liberty. It doesn’t pay—this dancing at tendance on half a dozen girls whom you never sec again.” “Oh, well don’t then.” lien. Adams at twenty-one hud performed his sociul duties with great zest. Four years later lie was still heart-whole, and liegining to take a purely fraternal interest in blushing debutantes, lie dull- ccd less nnd went to the opera alone or with his friend Rutland, a con tinued bachelor of twenty-eight. Willi entire resignation young Ad ams acted us usher at many fash ionable weddings, nnd without a sigh saw Katharine, Kale and Kit ty led down the aisle by other men. And so he approached his thirties, and within a year of them leaned idly over the piazza railing at the lake and declared to his sister that Umbrollas. i inanup'cturc.

Wliat would refresh a man j their existence. Her father iiad said one day, “Nothing would take the kinks out of our Josephine like settling down with a good hus band.” The young lady took It in high dungeon, nnd went away meek ly to wonder if it .were true. On this particular July morning-Jose- phine accepted her brother Tom’s services as oarsman, not because she was not perfectly well able to row herself, hut because it would keep Tom out of mischief. “Don’t rock the boat, Tom. It doesn't frighten me, but 1 can’t road.” Thera was a pause. “Row t ncar the bank in the shake, Tom.” • Another long pause. “Say, sis,” said Tom, at length, “now we're olf I’ll tell you where we’re going.” “Where you’re going? Why, you’re going to take me out for a row.” “Not much. I’m going two miles up above to see some fellows who are camping out.” “And going to take mu? 1 think you’re mistaken sir. (live mo those oars.” “No you don’t, leave them alone and sit still.” “Tom, tun this boat instantly or I’ll—” “Wliat will you do? Come, now; you sit still or I’ll—” A thought seemed to strkc Tom. “Come, keep cool Jo. We’ll go up a piece further anyway. I won’t take you up to the camp il you don’t want to go. You don’t want to go buck yet awhile do you?” “Tom there'stlie Desert Isle just ahead. Don't rmr into it. lie cure fill; you’re going straijfht toward it.” “We might land tliert!,” said Tom, blandly. “To lie sum we might,” said his sister, glad of anything to divert him from thu first scheme. “All right, just ns you say.” Tom turned his boat towards the great rock which lifted its broad back out of the water. It was fit ly cal.cd llie Desert Isle, for its few square luct of surface supported not so much as u blade of grass or a bit of moss. ‘ Hop out,” said Tom. “I’vegot to see to tile boat. I guess you can climb up to tlio lop easy enough.” “Of course I can,” said Joseph ine; “as if I needed your help, yon little monkey!” Ia a moment shu stood nt the top ol tlie rock, nnd in another moment a derisive laugh came from below. “Good-by, Jo; I hope you'll en joy yourself. I'll sec you later." 1'lato says, “A boy is the most vicious of all wild beasts.” 1’lato and Miss Vail were of one opiui in on that point. She looked about her nnd took in thu situation. She was monarch ol about twenty-live squurcfcct of rough gray rock, the sides of which descended abruptly to tlie water. Perched high on this massive pcdestinl, her figure stood out aguinst the sky in hold relief A book and parasol were tier only accesorics, for by some happy inspiration she had clung to these. The sun was high in the heavens, but its hot rays were mercifully tempered by a soft breeze on the lake. Josephine seated herself, raised tier parasol nnd opened tier book. She faced the probability that nt lent two hours of noonday solitude were before her. The only philos ophical course of action was to make the best of it. Rut what a situation to be discovered in. She remembered with satisfaction that a large party had gone on a pic nic to-day and the dowagers left behind were not given to I outing at high noon. She tried to think see me here. It’s really more than I can endure.” The girl looked with' envy on the tortoise which slipped easily from Hie base of the rook into the water us lie heard the disturbing sound of oars. “I hope lie will have tlie good taste to suppose I came here of my own free will. Ho wouldn’t think of interfering with me, I hope. Wliat? I believe lie's coming straight toward me.” Josephine turned the leaves of her hook with an interest thnt grew every moment more intense. Rut at last decency required some rec ognition of tlie nearing boat. Tlie young mail rowing now as if lie hud a renewed interest in life. He was soon at the base of the rock. “1 beg your pardon,” he said, ns I tlie military lie railed his hat; “can I be of any school, you know.” assistance to you?” “You are very kind sir. You find first, but a broad grin finally made its appearance. “You're a great one, Jo," he muttered. “I’d like to know when you wouldn't find a beau. Did lie drop down out of the clouds?" “Hush, sir; you've been a very naughty boy.” As the rowed home, Adams de voted himself to cultivating the ac quaintance of tlie young scape grace. Tlie latter proved very ap proachable, and Adams found no difficulty in persuading him to go fishing tlie next day. When they were homo at last Josephine took her young brother into her room nnd tinned the key. “Tom, you have treated me very badly to-day. What would yov give if I wouldn’t toll father?

In tlie meanwhile, the boat be low pushed oir, and Adams follow ed it with his eyes chiefly because it would have been more trouble to look another way. Tlie young la inc in a very absurd position.” ‘•You have evidently been ship, wrecked. Arc you tlie sole sur vivor?’’ “No, not shipwrecked, but put ashore anil abandoned by my cruel tyrant of a brother. ToJ tell you tiic truth, sir, I am the victim of a practical joke. My little brother lias left me hero while lie goes fur- ,tlier up the lake to visit some friends who are capining there.” “I beg you will make use of my boat then to return. I will come up to you in one moment.” Leaping out of bis boat beforo Miss Ynil could say u word, lie drew it up on a low slicll'and quick ly readied her side. "Let mo help you,” the young man said, with such a firm assur ance of good breeding that she made no resistance or nttempt at independence, lint accepted the prollereil aid in a quiet matter-of- course way. “Your lioat! your boat, sir!” she suddenly cried. 'It was too late. The rising breeze drove the water witli such force against the rock ns to dislodge the boat, anil before Adams could grasp it, was a Imlf dozen yards away. Tlio two looked at each other n moment nnd then simply laughed, llioug both were conscious of its being questionable taste. Adams absorbed nnd said “can you ever forgive mu Miss ” “Miss Vail. I aui -Miss Vail.” “And I am Mr. Adams. Can you be magnanimous enough to (orgivo me?” “That is tlie question I should ask you.” “All, you evade mine. At any rate, 1 shall never forgivo myself. A worse bit of bungling 1 never saw. Tlie truth is, Miss Vail, I have hitil very little experience in reselling fair Indies. Vou are tlie first whose life I have tried to save. I am no hero, ns you see.” 'flic genuine annoyance of her companion roused tlie compassion of Josephine, and site began to talk to him with a desparatu cheer fulness and acceptance of tiic situ ation. “Wliat a cold-liloodcil little vil- linn thnt brother of yours must be, Miss Vail, to desert you in Ibis fashion! I suppose we must throw ourselves on liis mercy when lie comes hack. How arc you going to nccount for me? Consider me your man Friday.” Rcncatli their light talk ran an undercurrent of more or less hitter ini'tl itntion on the part of each. Miss Vail shuddered to think what a good story this adventure would make for circulation among her friends, while Adams foresaw how it would add to thu conviviality of his club. He began witli tlie fer vent wish that be was out of this confounded scrape, but lie soon forgot to be annoyed, anil wliat is more, to lie different. He ended, I am obliged to confess, by ceasing to envy Robinson Crusoe bis des ert isle and considering bis own far preferable.
