two acres of this bed, a like amount will
bauk parted, nud a girl dashed down be planted each year, until tle entire tract
llio faintly worn pntii, mmilng witu a
light spring on the narrow strip of peb
bly boacb. Wltbout n breath of hesita
tion uho seized the prow of tbe little
ptoel boat, gave n vigorous push, a
practiced leap nnd stood poling swiftly
over tho shallows wltb one oar. The
blue lino of deep water reached, she
tlroppcd Into tho scat and rowed wltb
long, strong strokes. Half across the
nriu of the lake, that lay between the
mainland nnd the little Island toward
which sho was pulling, she rested on
tier oars.
"Hm-ml" This In a tone of mild
surprise. "Tho bloodthirsty pursue!
taocen't seem to bo gaining very rapid
ly. Not n sign of blin yet Guess I
giro hlni a little chance. I've excuse
enough for wanting to remodel mysolf,
goodness knows!"
And she raised her arms, bared to
-the elbow nnd brown against the white
of ber gown, to a mass of tawny balr,
.very bewltchhigly disheveled from tbe
precipitousncss of her launching,
"I'm morally certain he saw me, too,'
she reflected, braiding tbe heavy coIJa
into a Bhining rope that more than
reached tho floor of the boat as she sat,
"for be came around tbe corner of tbe
piazEu just as I crossed, the road into
the thicket. I should think he'd want
to say goodby after after everytbin,
But I don t care! i said i d never
speak to him again, and I shan't!" She
seized tbe oars and pulled the remain
lng half mile witu vicious, snappy
strokes
1 It would have been much cooler back
In the evergreens, but she disposed
herself on tbe open sand with tbe pil
lows, book and parasol which formed
part of tbe boat's furnishings. The
bright scarlet sunsbude was thus un
mlstakably visible from the mainland.
The warm discomfort of her vigil
was at length rewarded by the output
ting of a boat With a single white flan-
neled occupant. The scarlet parasol
swung around and presented a broad
Bido view to tbe water. When tbe on
coming boat was half across, the girl,
her back persistently toward It, gath
ered up her belongings and betook her
self calmly to tbe friendly shadows a
few yards away.
Tbe novel must have been intensely
Interesting, for she had apparently not
taken her eyes from its pages during
all the time that an athletic looking
fellow was beaching a boat, crossing
the sand and throwing himself on tbe
ground at her feet.
"I came over to say goodby, Bess,"
he volunteered to tbe back of tbe book.
: No answer.
' "And to ask you to forgive me."
Continued silence.
"Won't .you forgive me, Bess?" with
quiet earnestness.
Oyer tbe top of the book be was
given an instant's burning glance of
scornful eyes.
"Ob, I know you told me never to
speak to you again," and-' I don't sup
pose, you'll answer me either. I was a
fool not to get at least your forgiveness
last night, but some way I was too
too stunned, I guess. But whether
you'll speak to -me or not I must have
the privilege of saying a few things
that I want you to know. If if you'd
Just put the book down and let me
know that you're bearing, Bess!" he
pleaded.
The leaves of tbe novel only turned
the faster,
"I'm going on the 5 o'clock train," he
said tentatively. "It seemed tbe only
thing to do to make it easier for for
both of us after after everything.
But probably you beard that I am go

Wain It wouldn't do any harm and
is supplied. As It takes four or five years
for theoung oysters to (utly mature and
be ready for market, this system vvi have
fresh oysffis coming on every year when
once they become marketable. The men
arc going into oyster propagation as a
business proposition and are confident of
success.

The Afghan aimy is degenerated into a
trure rabble, the whole country is losing
the cohesion it possessed under the late
ameer. The hold of Habibullah Khan,
the present ameer, upon Afghanistan is
steadily weakening.
The completion of the Russian-Ore n
