should give in. He always carries out his
determinations, and it is better to yield first
than last-and l feel a creepy sensation as
if it were coming to-day"
With this thought still in her mind she
stood in the ballroom after breakfast look
ing out over the water. A ballroom empty
and by daylight is dreamy place at best and
she started little nervousiy when voice
suddenly broke the stiffness.
Take turn, Miss Campo"
do people ever go over there, Mr.. Gay?"
she asked, irreleyantly, as she pointed to
Fort Wool.
ITO the ripraps?" he answered. sob,
YES. it's quite favorite sail-strange that
you've never been there. This is good
weather-how would you like to go over this
morning."
Just you and II should like it very
much" she said foreseeing at least res
pite. Lieut.. Gay was in that mental state
which borders on ecStacy, Il can get
sailbuat and be ready in five minutes" he
answered.
She looked over her shoulder and saw
Morgan Jones and her mother engaged in
earnest conversation. YES" she said, Il
will be ready" and when Mrs. Camp and
Mr.. Jones, having matued their scheme,
looked down to the beach, behold, the bird
was flying. Some vigorous gestures OF dis
approval in which her mother INDUCED
strengthened Miss Camps resolution.
Lieut. Gay" she said, as the wind caught
the sail and they felt the eXhiiration of the
motion and the morning. 1T is an unmaid-
emily thing to say that | shall thank you for
every moment of to-day that we are not go
ing toward that hateful Hygeia, and if we
should be capszed, and you should be as
slow as possible about rescuing me, you will
have saved me more misery than you can
guess" Whereupon his beautiful, well-bred
Young lady burst into Wretched, real and I'M
becoming tears.
Such unorthOdoX behavior is sadly justif-
able when maternity is perverted into NAM
mon, but the situation was none the less en-
barrasSing for the moment.
Then said Lieut, Gay: Miss Camp, I am
your devoted servant: [ will take you to the
ripraps, to the Hygeia, or jump with you
into the bay. as you command, but would
like first to suggest some other plan. Let me
instead drive the boat up this creek and land
at the small town at the head of it.. Then. if
you will go with me to the old church, the
minister who is an old friend of mine, will
put you out of Morgan Jones' power for

truly love you so very much that | don't be-
lieve you'll find me half bad, when you're
used to mel really dol have from the
first, and we'll get along some way-I might
get promoted.
Indignant at first, Miss Camps wrath had
subsidized before the end of his declaration.
III the anXieties Of the last few days he had
been 50 wholly side issue that this solution
had not occurred to her. While she consid-
cred the boat was scudding up the creek, and
the little town was very near.
Lieut.. Cay" she said, finally, ''a girl
brought up as l have been can't fairly be eX-
pected to have very exalted ideas of mar
rage, but it seems to me that this would be
more nearly sacred than white satin sale to
that nabob. l don't seem to be strong
minded enough to stand alone, and I like
you at this moment SO infinitely better than
do my mother that if you are quite sure
that your motive is not mistaken kindness

The simple announcement of their mar
rage destroyed all the force of Mrs. Camps
wordy reproof of the runaways. The mar
ried air of superiority which most young la
dies assume with the wedding-ring made
Mrs. Gray quite another individual from
Miss Camp. To the mothers protestatiOns
OF despair and disgrace Lieut.. Gay made a
speech which the men of the mess thought
amazingly good. Madam" he said, with
an almost grown-up air, ''your daughter
has married poor man, it Is true, but | can
not allow you to intimate that she has low
cred her position. The daughter of queen
need not stoop to marry an American
officer"
1.-The joke of the whole thing" said First
Lieut.. Lefay, as he packed his solitary traps
in June, sis that WaXy married a rich girl
after all. The old lady stormed and threat
ened. but her husband was dead and the
daughter came of age in two months and he
own money had to be given her. So she rer

looks upon her as marvel of injured inno-

about bills, either. Some men have all the
