I happened to be sitting in my den.
writing, the following afternoon, when
glancing out of the big window that looks
up the beach, I caught sight of a woman
walking near the water. I picked up my
binoculars and focussed them on her. It
proved to be Miss Graham, dressed in a
riding-habit, and with a broad felt hat
on her head.
She was walking in a
somewhat aimless fashion, skirting the
wares as though she were playing w’ ith
them. I saw her glance once at the Ship
aud once iu the direction of my house.
I put down the glasses and laid my
papers nslde. When 1 went down stairs
I routed Charles out of a sound sleep in
the kitchen.
“ I)o you remember how to make tea—
good tea?" I asked him.
"\es. Mr. Felix.
Aren’ t you feeling
well, sir?"
"Quite well.
Please make some tea
that shall be ready to serve in about an
hour, and get out a box of those salty
biscuits. Set the small table in the din
ing-room out In front of the door, with
two chairs, and be ready to serve a lady
and myself."
"\es, Mr. Felix." Charles showed no
surprise, though he had never received
Buch an order since we had been at Alas-
talr.
I picked up a cap. and left the house.
As I did so I noticed that Miss Graham
had stopped walking and was gathering
shells. H alf way to her, and she was
still absorbed in the shells, which are
quite unusually beautiful h ere; three
quarters of the way, and she was still
playing with them. I had almost reached
her. and was raising my cap to speak,
before she turned and saw me. A flush
o f surprise rose to her cheeks.
“ Good afternoon.”
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hermit. Am I
poaching on your preserves?'
“ Xot in the least . I make you free
of the city.”
Ih ere was a light In her blue eyes
which I discovered that I remembered,
but a found her riding-habit new and
wonderfully prepossessing. I was taking
stock of it when she interrupted me.
"I left my horse tied back in the
woods. Haven’ t you ever seen a riding'
habit before?”
to get my guest. We couldn’t have sat
there drinking tea all night."
"No, of course not, sir, of course not.”
I turned to do indoors. “ By the way,
Charles, that tea was splendid; you did
yourself proud.
By the time supper was finished I was
still thinking about the Penguin Club,
which was a very singular thing, because
ordinarily I had no use for the place.

young, and I knew many a story of the
sea-gulls. Miss Graham was a flattering
listener, her lips slightly parted, her eyes
alight with intetest.
“ You must be hungry," I said at last,
“ lunch at noon, no supper until 8 . I
should like to offer you my cottage's hos­
pitality.”
I was looking for the flush that I
knew would come, and was not disap­
pointed.
"Thank you," she answered, "but, you
see— what would people think If they
looked in your dining-room window aud
saw me taking tea alone with you?”
“ People don't look in my dining-room
window,” I answered.
She shook her head so decisively that
I knew she meant it.
"A t least, we will have a cup of tea
on the beach,” I said, "out of doors— oh,
a dozen yards from the cottage, where
all the world may see us if they choose.”
"Splendid !’ she cried, and, jumping up,
led the way down from the heights.
On the smooth sand some distance
from my door Charles had placed the lit­
tle table. Tw o chairs faced each other;
plates, napkins, and a center-piece of
beach-marshmallows were the decorations,
and my man, as straight and rigid as an
Egyptian idol, stood a short distance off.
Miss Graham gave a little cry of pleas­
ure.
“ It’s like the Arabian N ights!” she ex­
claimed.
“ The whole thing seems to
have sprung out of the sand.”
I seated her at the table.
“ You may serve the tea, Charles,” ’ I
ordered.
He brought forth the tea-pot, and was
about to pour the tea into our cups when
Miss Graham expostulated. “ It’s the
woman's place to do th a t!” she exclaim­
ed, and Charles surrendered the tea-pot

“ How many lumps of sugar?”

asked, with the delicate superority of a
hostess to a guest.
"T w o.”
“ Will you have lemon or cream?”
There were both ; I thanked,my stars that
Charles was so thoughtful.
“ Bemon.”
I received my tea-cup and a moment
later had the satisfaction of hearing Miss
Graham say that the brew was delicious.
“ Yes. I beg your pardon, but it’s so “ And such pretty cups ! I don't believe

It la a fam iliar fact that bananas
are Imported green, but It came as a
new thing to a visitor to the banana
district In Colom bia to find that ba­
nanas are not permitted to ripen on
the plant even down there. They are
cut and set to hang som ewhere until
they w ither ripe, as the phrase is. Ba­
nanas do not have to be yellow to
be ripe. That is only the color o f the
skin when it has dried up. T o the
person who is accustom ed to eating
bananas only when they are yellow It
seems odd to peel them when they are
