She was clad in a shred of wh .. . courtesy would be called a bathing tout and was dragging after her a wet beat' dress. She stopped unalatched in front of my brothers and myself, demanding.
"Does you know where my cio'es rs?" "No; where did you leave them ?" She waved comprehensively round the . v tensive sea-scape, and sot down on the prehbles in a friendly manner. "Suppose you wrap yourself in this hath Ing cloak," we said, rolling her in a big white cloak, which plensed her immensely "Now what clothes are there ?"
"My frank, shimmy, petticut and hoouts!" she said, decisively.
When I had come back from a search be hind the rocks with the said "fraak, shimmy, pettient and boouts," I found her vigorous ly rubbing her yellow mop with the wet old dishcloth she used for a towel, and in. terragating my brothers in a businesslike way.
"Where he your house to?" she was ask. "London."
"Be there sea there?" "No: but there's a big river."" "Does you hafe in it?" "No, it's too dirty."
"I has a w'ite frank for Sunday, an' a red ribhon."
She dived into the pocket of the dress I had brought and produced some crumpled red ribbon, holding it up shyly and proudly above her head.
"She gave me ut!" pointing along the beach to where the French lady, whose dresses were a marvel to the quiet little vil- lage, was sitting with her poodle, and we recognized the ribbon as a cast-off top-knot of Pom-Pom's-Daisy then eyed us judi- cially for a minute.
"Be your house in London, too?" asked me.
"Yes, we all live together."
"You don't, ut's a story," she said in- credulously. "How would there be 'nuff to eat for those mans" (my hrothers) "an' you an' the other lady?"
Weturned the tables and found that Daisy had four sisters and a baby brother, and that her father was a fisherman and his "bott" was the one with the blue line round it.
"Then you have plenty of fish to eat ?" I said, for ruw onions and toffee were what Daisy generally made her lunch of on the hench.
"We has dog fish. The mack'rils an' dabs an' haddocks goes to Exeter. Has you a w'ite fraak for Sundays?
"Well, no. I haven't a Sunday frock at all here?"
She then eyed our black and red bathing dresses spread ont to dry, and after looking at the old tweed rag that did duty for her- self, said defiantly: "I have a bafing dress 's well as you!" Then she glared at it and spurned it with her shapely little brown foot.
"Well, we are going to dinner, now. What time do you have dinner, Daisy ?"
"We doesn't have dinner, we has pitatus. I had some this morning."
"You seem to live on this beach ?"
"Es. I he goin' to hathe again now." And she got into the old frock, put her three articles of raiment close up to our tent, and staggered over the pebbles down to the waves again. After that we always looked out for Daisy, and whoever was not on the beach we might be certain of finding her. She was the most ragged, the most neglected, and the most unkempt child in Beer, but the most charming, and she was hail-feliow-well-met with all visit- ors. She was delightfully lacking in self- consciousness or a sense of her "place" as a ragged little girl, and she would have re quested the. duke of Cambridge or the lord chancellor, had they wandered on the Beer heach, to "do up her fraack" with the ut- most sang-froid. She hathed about 20 times a day, and she had only to ask the first person she encountered to get any small toliet office performed. We, however, were the most favored of her courtiers, perhaps because we possessed a certain dignity in her eyes through heing the owners of the one and only hell tent; and she always honored us by spreading her dress and remnant of a towel close to ours. Once she favored me hy requesting the loan of my comh.
1 burriedly changed the subject. One day I was sitting reading, when she came to me with the complaint that "those
mans ** ( (my brothers) had gone off with her "franck." She had hung it on the hows of their hont while she bathed, and mean while they had gone out with the hoat and the unnoticed russet frock to sea. I had a pencil and paper and she requested me to write a letter for her.
"All right. What shall I say?"
That had not occurred to her, hut after much pondering she dictated, to my utter mystification:
"Dasy West make and Bob lhammett goes put courtin' every night an' day. So no more at present." She scrutinized it carefully, and kept it in her fist, and then: "Would the sky be pratty if it was brown ?"
"No. I don't think so." "Why ?" 'Oh, because it wouldn't." 'But why wouldn't it?"
"Run away and hathe, Daisy!"
My brothers taught her to swatu and float, und I have never seen a child so absolute y fearless of the water, almost too feariese. indeed, but these brown Devonshire water balmes never seemed to come to any barm ruth thut sea that had known them and then mothers from onfancy. When the das rame at Insl that I bud to put off from Becl In the little bont that was to take me lo Seaton und the unwelcome "London train."" Daisy, clothed in naught but her innocenre and n top of bleached hair was Towig " lustily in an ancheored hout, and shouting orders in broad Devon to half a dozen othel hpbes in the thwarts, and as I saw her for theMast time I somehow felt that this wild. endless little child of nature would in the future be something more than a fisherman's wite deuning dog fsb and making prios lace .- Madame;

It is not a thing of beauty; It Is wrinkled In the back,
And has buttons which are not the slightest use.

Though the thirsty pavements crack. To wear it and avold the mob's abuse. You may proudly face the firing. You may scorn the foeman's blade . Which is murderously pointed at your throat;
But when weary and perspiring. Are you wise and unafraid?
Have you nerve enough to go without a coat?
