A narrow cave ran beneath a ciiff. In this the chi dreu played at keep ing house. Enoch was host one day, Philip the next, while Annie still was mistress, but at times Enoch would hold possession for a week: ‘ This is my house and tins is my little wife.’’ "Mine too," said Philip, "turn and turn about’’. When, it they quarrell ed. Enoch the stronger-made was made master, then would Philip, his blue eyes Hooded with tears, shriek out. "I hate you, Enoch," and al this the little wife would beg them not to quarrel for her sake, and say she would be little wife for them both. When the dawn of rosy childhood had passed and the new warmth of life’s ascending sun was felt by either, either fixed his heart on that one girl, Number 5 and Enoch spoke his love, but ITo'ip loved in silence; and the girl seemed kinder to Philip than to him; but she loved Enoch; though he kue vit and would if asked, deny it Ll. gave all he could to purchase his boat and make a home for .Annie He had served a rear on a merchant man, and made himself full sailor.
