mered. Somehow it seemed har .er to
talk to George about him than to Mary.
Don't know his name! Where did
you see him?'
81 have hardly seen him-l have
heard him."
"Ninette! You don't mean to say you
have fallen in love with a voice-just
that and nothing more?'
Eyes, / dol" said Ninette, half crying,
land l wish, George Smith, you would
| go away and not bother me any more!'
And she turned resolutely from him.
George turned toward her. He had
great courage and perseverance, and
! said between his set lips: 81 will not go
away. / will stay mere and watch over
you. If the man is all right, well and
HARM" And he hurried away to apple of
| rocks and seated himself to think the
matter over.
Nearly u week passed. George re-
NAMED at the Golden and occasionally
| Joined Ninette on the beach. One would
have thought he had forgotten he ever
loved Ninette. He was simply kind and
helpful, and Ninette began to enjoy his
society now that he was apparently no
longer her lover.
1t was nearly time for their departure.
Ninette and George were looking over
some shells together. George heard
Ninette catch her breath in a short gasp.
He looked down at her quickly. Her
face was flushing and paling by turns.
Following the direction Of nsr glance,
he saw a man standing ~ . roe, at a
little distance from them. F1is tan, fine
form was clearly outlined - hs stood
there, looking away over the OCEAN.
"Ninette-tell me-is that the MANI"
Ninette blushed. George needed no
other answer
Looks we'll as he stands there!
wish he would turn around 30 ! could
see his face"
So did Ninette. Instead Of turning
around he swung himself down the
rocks and was hidden from view.
George arose and looked over the
ledge. Ninette sat still, but watched
George ~anxiously.
''lIe is coming out this way, and
thinl, he will come out by this opening
There is no other place for him to pas
out this side"
George dropped back into the nich'
where he had been sitting, and Ninett'
awaited the appearance Of her Apollo.
A little movement near her caused
Ninette to turn her head. She saw Mr.
Lewis, a gentleman who owned a fin
cottage neal the hotel.
"Excuse me, but ! am looking TO
Marcus Marshall. lsaw him dissappea
!, here somewhere. Have you seen him3
81 don't know the gentleman" sal,
! George; "do you, NinetteT'
~No, but l haven't seen any n nea
A here for half an hour"
4 At this moment the hero emerge
@ from an opening in the rocks.
Ninette and George heard Mr.. Levi
exclaim:
p "There he is now!' and turned bac
t again.
d Was this her hero? Her Apollo
Georges face was blank with amazt
ment. Ninette felt like skrieking.
He was dark-yes, it must be admit
ted, very dark. He was a mulatto.
He was Marcus Marshall, the fin
h looking conductor of the famous Ma
it shall MINISTRIES, staying at the Golden.

,o The rest was lost in the rapidly il
creasing distance between them. N

Sadie, and George wisely concluded
keep out of her way that day.
Next morning he wen down on IL

and took her hand and looked into h,
