She glided away with her hand on
Walter Biimingham's shoulder. Gill

able.
His grave, stern face rather startled
her as she came once more to the rus

band was silent, and Mr.. Birmingham
had gone to bring her glass of iced
lemonade.

"NO, Mr.. Evering."
"Be it so, Blanche" he said, in a
voice that betrayed how deep the ar
row ranked in his bosom. 81 give up
the right now and henceforward."
Blanche was startled. She would
have said more, but Walter Birming-
ham was advancing toward her, and
when next she had leisure to look
round Gilbert was gone from her
side.
"What have 1 donew she thought, in
dismay. "I'll see him this evening and

"Such a charming day we have had,
Mrs. Traine," said Blanche, as she
came in smiling and radiant as if the
worm, remOrse, was not gnawing at
her heart.
"Yes," said the blooming matrOn,
who was reading in an easy chair un-

Blanche went slowly up stairs and
sat down by her window, looking out
at the purple glow of the evening land
scape as if it were featureless blank.
So he was really gone away; and by
her own folly she had lost the priceless
treasure of Gilbert Evenings love.
"And / cannot even write to him,

thought with clasped hands and tear
less eyes. "Well, it is my own fault,

ly.
The apparition of great, unruly
boy, tramping with muddy boots on
the velvet carpets, and disturbing the
house with balls, marbles and halloos,
did not posses the charm in Sanderson's
eyes that it seemed to have in the eyes
of his mistress. And even patient Mrs.
Brown remarked with species of ex.
asperatiOns that "she didn't gee what
put this freak into Miss Blanche's
head"
Saturday was day of hail and tenn
pest, and softly-fallihg snow, and by 5
o'clock the drawingrOoms were lighted,
and the crimson silk curtains closely
drawn, to exclude the stormy darkness
without.
Six times within the last fifteen
minutes had Blanche Penroy looked at
her watch, as she stood by the fire

She was dressed in a rich China-blue
silk dress. with pearl pin and ear.drops,
and little point lace at her throat and
wrists, and the color in her cheek, and
the golden tinge in her bright hair
made her, uncOnsciously, very fair to
look upon.
"Oh, hope-I hope he will like me-"
thought Blanche, with that distinctive
yearning for love that enters every wo
mans heart, as the door opened.
"Here's the young gentleman. miss"
said Sanderson, with a half-suppressed
sound, between q laugh and a snort.
But instead of child of seven or
eight years old, tall apparation stalk

with a black moustache and merry
hazel eyes brimming over with mirth.
For an instant Blanche stared at him,

laughter, uncertain which would best
express her feelings, but Gilbert Ev-

their right to dump ashes on the island despite the
objections of the temperance organization lie right
10 put the ashes there was granted TO the firm of
X. & H. Adams by the Society for Establishing
Useful Manufactures. The action was brought
by the Washingtonian Association for g fore
lille entry and detsiner," in the District Court
before Judge Hopper. Testimony covering
the questions of the rights and the objects of the
Temperance organization offered, and the
events Of April II were detailed after which the
counsel for the defendants moved for a dismissal
of the complaint on the ground that the complain
ants were not in possession of the island when the
encounter took place. and that the alleged force
was not used on the island claimed by the plain
tifs as their property, but on the bridge leading
thereto, belonging to the Adams firm. The com
plant was dismissed, the Judge holding that the
Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures was
in possession OF the island, and that no f0rciDe
