back to its wonted summer calm. Tels-
grams keep pouring In for Mr. Cleveland,
but he has grown weary ef reading them,
and early this, morning decided that a
fishing trip down the bay was much more
TO his taste than remaining cooped up in
his library reading messages of con-
graduation, however Loyalty w0rded. So
| he sent for Captain Nickerson. his jealous
| man Friday. and about eight o'clock they
| embarked in the Cleveland sail boat.
| which is painted white as swan. and
| were soon under full canvas for the camp

gamy rock bass.
With the wind dead astern and a per-

| Island, and then between Mashnee and
Tobey Islands until they came into the

in his boots. rough slouch hat and yell

of repose. Mrs. Cleveland. wearing a
cream colored jacket, straw hat aud
