TEE ACCOUNT SQUARED.
It was a warm spring morning just L:
fore sunrise. The nri-xt., white and dense ....
sea fog, still hung over the dopes of Green-
wood, over the houses of ‘lowanus, and the
shanties and piggeries of Bummer book. > n
the waters of the bay, too, it vested like o
thick, fleecy coverlet, through which the
masts of yachts and coasters, anchored in
\ ' lowanus cove, poked them* Ives li :e tele-
graph poles from a weste. xi snovdrLt.
As Mr. Frederick Lawrence, pushing
back the companion hatch o. his little sloop
Flo, rested his arms ou the coaming and
looked sleepily about hi, a he could sea
nothing beyond the bowsprit end—could
he,.r nothing but the faint tinkle of a horse-
car bell from shore and the distant, inter-
im tc rtt whistling of a tug, somewhere grop-
ing its way along. He yawned once or
twice and rubbed his eyes, and then, step
ping out ixito the cockpit, straightened his
back and stretched himself, as a man will
do alter a night in the cabin of a small
boat.
Then he lowered his anchor-light, drew a
pail of water, and went below again to make
his toilet, whistling softly the while. Mean-
while the sun climbed up from behind the
hills, and the mist turned to a beautiful
rose color; and presen tly it began to lighten
in places; and then to move and rise iu
wreaths; and then it melted rapidly away,
and Mr. Lawrence, coming on deck in the
pride born of shore clothes, and a clean face
and well-brushed hair, gazed with apprecia-
tive eyes upon the scene about him, and his
heart was glad. And no wonder.
Lawi'ence had an inborn love for the
water. He was a hard-working young law-
yer, with but little spare time at his dis-
posal; but there were few summer evenings
when he might not have been seen at the
tiller of the Flo, or busy about her at some
of those many odd jobs dear to the man
who loves his boat. Which will explain
why, ou this particular morning, he hap-
pened to be afloat
He had hauled up the little yawl boat
which floated astern, and was about to step
aboard, when he heard the faint splash of
oars near by and a young voice wishing
him good-morning, and turned around to
see a very pretty girl in a ' light working-
boat passing close alongside.
‘•Ah! good morning, Polly,” he answered,
pleasantly; “out for a pull: Good water,
isn’t it:”
Then he watched her for a moment as she
guided her boat; deftly through the crowd of
yachts, and then he sculled ashore and
walked home to breakfast, giving no further
thought to Miss Polly Dowd.
Meaxxwhile the young woman was sending
her boat along with as clean and
strong strokes as one would wish
to see. For if she would row her
three miles before breakfast and be
at the factory on time jbhere must be no lag-
ging. But all the while she was thinking
busily, and chiefly, be it said, of this same
young fellow, wno would probably have
felt a little annoyed had he known it
For Polly was not exactly the person
whom he would have chosen for a sweet
heart, even had he not been already pro-
vided with a satisfactory one. IShe was ex-
tremely pretty it is trite—albeit with rather
large hands and feet; and she earned her $6
a week regularly at a great tobacco factory
in the city; and her father was said to have
f ill,000 in bank and owned one of Bummer-
hook’s most imposing shanties, paying ki3
«$5 a month ground rent liko" a man—no
common squatter, he. But alas! to poor
Polly a theati'e was a “teayter,” and to her
16-year-old mind the “Summer night pic-
nics” of the “Violet Social” and the “Gow-
anus Coterie” represented the highest forms
of social enjoyment
AD the same, Polly has grown to think a
gi’eat deal of this good-looking, pleasant-
spoken young yatchtsman, who gave him-
self no airs, but was so courteous and agree-
able to all whom he met. In Bummerhook
men of his class were kxiown as swells, and
Bummefhook did not approve of swells as a
rule, but it had seen him almost daily ioA
some time; had first tolerated, and later,
in the persons of its watermen and dogs, had
cordially approved of him.
Mox-eover, Polly had her own especial
grounds for liking him. Had he not once,
at the peril of his fingers, saved her “yaller
dawg”—a poor thing, but her own—from
the fangs of a notorious fighter? Had he
not, upon occasion, paid her brother’s fine,
when that gentleman was offered the tempt-
ing choice of “SIO or ten days” at the local
police court?” Crowning teat of goodness!
Had he not, the week before, when her boat
was swamped by a steamer swell, luffed
and come about to pick her up, thereby
giving a race to Flo’s hated rival, when he
would otherwise have beaten? Indeed, he
had done all these things and more; and,
as she thought over them, her heart swelled
with gratitude. As slxe herself would haT e
said, she wanted to get square with him.
And so MisS Polly, returning from her
row, went to her work, still uncertain as to
how she could best x-eward this evidently
eccentric young man. Now it happened
that this was Saturday, and in the after-
noon, Lawi'ence, with a friend, from Phila-
delphia, came rathei- earlier than usual. So
that when Polly returned from work and
cast her customary glance first at the float
stays and then out over the basin she saw
that the yawl was missing and the sloop not
at her moorings, and rightly concluded that
Lawrence had gone away for the night. She
stood by the window lor a while, watching
the boats and listening to the clamor of
the small boys who swarmecl about the boat-
houses and the great timber rafts.; and then
she wondered if there was a breeze down
below and if the Flo’s crew was having a
good time. She wished that some time or
other Mr. Lawrence would ask her to sail
with him. Fie did take young ladies out
sometimes. She had seen them—tall, stylish
girls; but not half so pretty as she. She
had never been on board the sloop, and
thought it must be a real nice boat. She
would like to know, too, what the crew did
with themselves when at anchor.
On last Fourth of July young Dowd and
Jimmy Sullivan and his crowd, with two
kegs of beer, had gone off for the day in a
-jib and mainsail,” and Jimmy had come
home with a lump on his head as big as an
egg, and her brother’s eye had been black
for a week, but she had never seen beer
kegs taken on board the Flo, nor noticed a
black eye on Mr. Lawrence.
And then old Dowd came in and demanded
his supper, and Miss Polly fetched his beer
from a saloon near by, and turned her
thoughts to coin beef and cabbage.
But the evening was very warm. So,
bareheaded, alter the custom of the country
she went out when her work indoors was
done, to seek some cooler spot. She took
her way over the long, dilapitated cause-
way of the old ship’s planks, which led to
the landing stage, and lingered for a while
to chat with an acquaintance; passed then
through a group of half-grown men and
boys, who, with much horrible, butgoodhum-
ored profanity, were discussing the merits
of two rival “boat-pullers” of local fame;
and, finally, reached a retired spot behind
her brother's boathouse, and sat down.
By-and-by she grow drowsy and drew up
her feet under her gown and fell asleep.
When she awoke it had grown very dark
and some one was speaking in low tones
; close by her eai\
“I tell ver I seen him.” the voice said
“He’d a bull fistful o’ bills, wid a rubber
and round ’em. De udder feller, says he:
‘Lawrence ye’d better not brfcg all dat
a ong. ’ ’Aw,' says he. ‘wat else should I
io wit it. ’ An’ den he sticks it in his
ocket, an’ dey takes deir boat an goes off.”
Polly recognized in the speaker a mffianly
young idler about the boathouse, and be-
came sleepily interested. But with the
next words she grew wide awake, and put
hex- car to a knothole in the side of
the house and listened intently; for
she knew the answering voice as that- oi' an
eminent river junk man, thief; what not;
who had just moved from orced retirement
in Sing Sing prison, i hat he should feel an
interest in Mr. Lawrence and his money
was a matter to be looked into. And so.
crouching there in the dark, not daring to
move, and hardly to breath, for fear of dis-
covery, Polly’s ears drank in the detail cf
as neat a plan for robbery as ever favorite
writer in “The Working Girls’ Companion”
could have invented.
Briefly, these worthies proposed to row
down that night to tbe little cove where the
Flo usually anchored, to wait uutil Law-
rence and his friend slept, and then board
the yacht, possess themselves of their
money and other valuables and escape to
shore.
In case the young men should show fight,
why “let dem take deir chances,” the vet
eran said, cheerfully, “we’ll t’ump ’em
’iongsde dehead.”
But he also assured his less experienced
confederate that there was little likelihood
of their having to resor-t to such extreme
measures.
“W’en a feller wakes up,” he remarked,
“wid a knife at his Croat, he don’t make
no fuss. He jus’ says: ‘Take w’at ye’s
want, an’ git out—’ an’ don’tyer forget it.”
With which choice bit of wisdom the
talk ended and the pair left the house.
Polly waited until the sound of their foot-
steps died away. Then she started to her
feet, trembling. Lawrence must be warned!
Her brother was away. Her father would
probably bid her mind her own business—
perhaps even keep her indooi-s. The police'
That would take too much time.
As she stood thei'e, hesitatingly, the be - >
of distant St. Mary’s rang down 11, and a
thought struck her. Eleven o’clock, and
the last of the floodtido. She sat down
quickly, and pulled on her stockings and
shoes. She, too, knew the cove where the
Flo would likely be found. It was a good
eight miles away; but, with the ebb tide in
hex- favor, and smooth water and a light
boat, what were eight miles to a girl of her
ti'aining? She would, herself, be the mes-
senger. Running around to the front of
the house, she shook the solitary boy who
still dozed upon the open boat. “I’m goin’
for a pull,” she said, shortly; “get out the
Dart for me, Paddyand by the time the
sleepy youngster had put her favorite boat
into the water she had changed her dress
and stood beside him again.
And a very pretty picture she made now
by the light of the big reflecting lantern,
in her short skirt and sailor’s shirt of dark
flannel, with sleeves rolled up high on her
round ai’ms, and a woolen cap pulled over
her red-gold hair and her cheeks flushed
with excitement.
Then she picked her way quietly through
the fleet- at the anchorage, avoiding the
lights which shone out here and there from
open companion doors, for she had no wish
to be questioned just then, and there was no
boat-keeper but would have wondered to
see old Dowd’s pretty daughter “bound
out” at that time of night
It was very quiet and very dark. Not
that she needed daylight to show her the
course—she knew every inch of that. But
the bright star in the lighthouse on Robins
reef, and the clusters and lines of yellow
points stretching along the Htatan island
hills, beyond the bay, made the intervening
miles of black water look vei-y black indeed
— and she was a woman and alone.
But then the next moment she heard far
astern the faint thump, thump of oars in
the rowlocks. It was a common enough
sound, even at that hour, but just then to
Polly it spoke volumes, and she started off
again at a racing stroke.
She was as strong as a young horse, this
girl; her muscles and lungs developed by
years of swimming and boating, and she
had been trained to the sculls by one of the
crack oarsmen of the day, and now she
pulled her best, coolly and evenly, throw-
ing every ounce of her weight into each
stroke, breathing with the i-egularity of a
machine, and only now and then glancing
over her shoulder into the darkness ahead,
or astern, perhaps, at some light on shore by
which she steered.
Fi;om lar astern still sounded that regu-
lar thump, thump, but she heeded it little.
No two men in a heavy boat could overcome
the lead she now had, and, when she re-
suined her way, it was in a more leisurely
fashion.
The breeze was growing fresher now, and
had a fair sweep in from the sea, and little
by little the sui’face of the water roughened,
and by and by white caps showed them-
selves, and soon one broke against the boat’s
side and .sprinkled Polly with spray, but
she only feathered her sculls a little higher
and kept on with her swinging stroke.
But then, presently, another and another,
and stiil another wave, with a sharp swish,
leaped the gunwale, and Polly began to feel
the water rising about her feet and to wish
she were in some other ci'aft than this
crank, low-sided working-boat. But baler
she bad none, and there was naught to do
now but keep straight on and trust to luck.
On she swung, with clenched teeth and
feet firmly braced against the stretcher,
while the salt spray soaked her clothing and
hail', and inch by inch the water rose in the
fl oat. On and on, till at last a bright spark
gleamed out ahead, and beyond it Polly’s
eyes caught the outline of the island beach,
bhe drew a lo.ig breath of relief. A few
strokes more and she would be under the
lee of the land and in smooth water.
But the strokes were never taken. A
wave rolled up and broke over the side; the
balf-swamped boat gave a lurch and filled,
and t hen quietly settled down, and Polly
was in the water, swimming toward the
yacht’s light. Not a cry escaped her—she
had the confidence of a water-dog. Still,
sbe was tired and fully dressed, and when,
a. ter alternately swimming and floating,
she final-y found herself under the counter
of the Flo, she was well-nigh exhausted.
Then she called, just once: “Mr. Law-
rence, are ye there?”
Lawrence, -dozing over his pipe in the
cockpit, heard and jumped to his feet
“Halloa!” he cried, sharply. “Who’s
there!”
“It’s me, Polly IQowd. Get me aboard
quick as yc-u can. I’m played out.”
"Why, what on earth—?” he ejaculated;
but qui kiy bent over the side and, grasp-
ing the girl, dragged her on board, where
she sank down limply on the cockpit floor.
Diving down the companion-way, Law-
rence presently brought a bottle and glass.
"Here; drink this,” he said; “it will warm
you. And now, tell me, what brought you
down here! How did you fall overboard?”
•T pulled down—an’ me boat swamped,”
•she gasped through her chattering teeth.
"Big Mike an’ Billy Doolan, dey’re—
coinin’ to rob }’e—I wanted to tell ye—
Where's yer friend?”
Lawrence whistled
“To rob us!” he exclaimed; “and you
pulled down. By Jove! Polly, you’re a
plucky girl”
“Yer friend,” she said again: “call him
Hurry up. Dey're close after me.”
“He’s gone ashore in the yawL I expect
him bac.; every moment But, here, child,
you mustn’t sit there in these wet clothes.
Come below;” and then, lighting the cabin
lamp, “you will find some things of my
sister’s in that after-locker,” he explained,
and left her and went up on deck, forward,
to watch for the missing boat Several
minutes passed without sign of its approach,
and he began to feel uncomfortable. It was
now between 1 an i 2 o’clock, and his friend
had promised to return by midnight He
didn't relish the prospect of having to meet
single handed two such visitors as Mike and
Doolan; and then—what was to be done with
Polly? With her help he might even now
ixiake sail and land her at home before day
light—out he couldn’t well leave his friena
(a poor boatman, at best, and ignorant of
the waters), perhaps, knocking about in a
tiny yawl in the darkness, seeking the
yacht.
Sitting on the cabin trunk, straining his
eyes landward and chewing nervously at
the stem of his pipe, he started as he felt his
arm touched. It was Polly.
“Dey’re cornin’,” she said, gravely. “I
heard de oars jus’ now.”
Lawrence listened intently and presently
also heard the sound, faint, but unmistak-
able He took the girl by the arm and led
her aft.
“Now, Polly,” he said, “I want you to go
below and stay there. You must keep out
of sight in any case,” and he closed the
companion doors behind her. Then placing
the stout tiller of the yacht beside him he
waited.
Soon he heard the oars again, but more
distinctly, and, presently, through the
darkness to leeward appeared the form of a
boat
Could it be the yawl?
No; too large, and there were too men in
it.
He grasped the tiller and jumped up.
“Boat ahoy there!”
*No answer.
Like a flash the thought struck him, they
had discovered his friend’s absence and, by
Jove! they were coming straight aboard.
Once more he shouted: “What do you
want? Keep off there!” But the boat was
alongside, and in an instant a man jumped
from her to the Flo’s deck—to fall, stunned
under a blow from the heavy tiller.
Before Lawrence could raise it for an-
other blow, however, the second ruffian had
closed with him, and they rolled together
upon the cabin trunk, and thence into the
cockpit.
Now, Lawrence was a plucky young fel-
low, and a strong one as gentlemen run,
and the fight was flex-ce white it lasted; but
at last he lay, overpowered and exhausted,
upon his back, and felt Big Mike’s hand close
upon his throat, and thought that his time
had come and uttered a stifled cry.
Then suddenly a light shone in his eyes,
and above them both stood Polly with the
tiller poised in her strong hands.
A sounding blow fell on Big Mike’s head;
then, releasing Lawrence, the brute stag-
gered to his feet, fumbling at his belt, and
with a growl turned upon the girl and drove
his sheath knife into her breast. She gave
one sharp cry and clutched at him, but he
struck her down with his fist, jumped into
his boat; and when Lawrence, slowly rising
to his knees, again looked about him, boat
a id men were gone.
“Polly,” he asked, anxiously, “are you
much hurt?”
But the girl did not answer. She lay
quite still, as she had fallen, with the light
from the cabin on her white face and diimp,
disordered haiiv
He thought she had been stunned by a
blow, and fetched water and raised her on
his arm—and thexi: “Good God!” he cried,
what’s this?”
For his hands were wet with blood and
the deck where she lay was stained dark
with it, axid a tiny stream was already
trickling across the white planks toward a
scupper hole.
She opened her eyes slowly and looked up
at him.
“Mike cut me,” she whispered. “I’m
hurted bad, l guess,” and moaned faintly.
For a moment he felt horror-stricken and
helpless.
“Oh, my poor girl, my poor girl,” he only
said.
Then he iaid her gently down and hastily
tore up some linen and tried to stop the
bleeding, but the wound proved too severe
for his s.dil, and, at last, bidding her lie
quiet, he ran forward.
It was the work of only a few minutes to
make sail on the little Flo, and, this d le,
he shipped the cable and headed her for the
nearest village, a mite or so distant. The
channel was narrow and difficult, e ; in
daylight, the water shallow and the tid
falling fast; but he felt it was the only
chance for Polly’s life, and, as he stood at
the tiller, peering anxiously into the gloonx
ahead, with nerves strained to detect the
slightest touch of the center-board on ground,
he prayed very, very hard that they might
reach the shore in time.
Now aud then he glanced down at the
girl, but she lay as if unconscious, and the
dark stains ou deck were spreading slowly,
moment by moment, as the boat heeled to
the breeze.
“She is bleeding to death,” he thought
with a shudder; and just then she spoke,
but so low that he hardly caught the
sound.
“What is it, Polly?” he asked, and bent
down over her to listen.
“Mr. Lawrence, I guess I’m going to die;
I-—” and then, with a soft, grating noise, the
center-board rose, and the yacht ran upon a
shoaL
All that man could do Lawrence did in
ihe next few moments to work off, but with-
out avail. They wei-e hard and fast and
the tide waS leaving them quickly, and at
length, in despair, he lowered all sail and
returned to Polly’s side.
“We are hard aground,” he said, huskily;
“be patient, child—we can only wait now till
some one conies.”
“Lift me up,” she said, and, as he took his
place beside her and raised and supported
her in his arms, she laid her head upon his
shoulder like a tired child.
“You mustn't feel bad,” she said. “You
couldn’t help it,” for the tears were running
down his face.
“1 shall never forgive myself,” he an-
swered brokenly. “Oh, if you had only stayed
at home; they might have stolen all I had,
and wolcSme.”
“It wasn’t de money,” she went on,
slowly ; “it was you. I t’ought dey’d hurt
ye,” and Lawrence, glancing down at her
pretty, pale face, saw a look on it which
was a revelation to him, and was silent.
“Yes,” weai'ily, after a long pause, “you
was always good to me, and I sort o’ wanted
to get even.”
Again silence, and again she spoke, but
now so faintly that he could barely hear
her.
“Ye won’t mind me tollin’ ye now; .1—1
thought a heap o’ you. Ye’ll kiss me, jus’
once? an'—don’t—let—go o’ me.”
He kissed her and held her close.
A long half hour, then, of dreadful wait-
ing while the night waned and the tide ran
seaward, and the girl’s life ebbed—and
then Lawrence laid her tenderly down and
covered the poor white face, and knelt and
prayed.
Polly had squared the account indeed.—
