"No-never! Not if you love him. have an interest in."
 "Then I will tell you. am in love with great singerr'
 "A great singerr' repeated George with white lips. "Who is he?'
 s'I don't know his name," she stam- mered. Somehow it seemed harder to talk to George about him than to Mary.
 Don't know his namei Where did you see him?"
 II have hardly seen him-I have heard him."
 "Ninettei You don't mean to say you have fallen in love with a voice-just that and nothing more?'
 "Yes, dor' said Ninette, half crying, "and I wish, George Smith, you would go away and not bother me any morer And she turned resolutely from him.
 George turned toward her. He had great courage and perseverance, and said between his set lips: ''I will not go away I will stay here and watch over you. If the man is all right, well and good; if not. will not let you come to harm" And he hurried away to pile of rocks and seated himself to think the matter over.
 Nearly q week passed. George re mained 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.
 It was nearly time for their departure. Ninette and George were looking over some shells together. George heard Ninette catch her breath i'll short gasp. He looked down at her quickly. Her face was flushing and paling by turns.
 Following the direction of her glance, he saw man standing on rock at 8 little distance from them. His tall, fine form was clearly outlined as he stood there, looking away over the ocean.
 "Ninette-tell me-is that the man?'
 Ninette blushed. George needed no other answer.
 "Looks we'll as he stands therel wish he would turn around so 1 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.
 "He is coming out this way, and think he will come out by this opening. There is no other place for him to pass out this side."
 George dropped back into the niche where he had been sitting, and Ninette awaited the appearance of her Apollo.
 A little movement near her caused Ninette to turn her head. She saw MT. Lewis, gentleman who owned fine cottage near the hotel.
 "Excuse me, but I am looking for Marcus Marshall. saw him dissappear here somewhere. Have you seen him1'
 s.I don't know the gentleman" said George; "do you, Ninette?'
 "No, but haven't seen any one near here for half an hour"
 At this moment the hero emerged from an opening i'll the rocks.
 Ninette and George heard MT. Lewis exclaim:
 ''There he is nowr' and turned back again.
 Was this her hero? Her Apollo? Georges face was blank with amaze ment Ninette felt like skrieking.
 He was dark-yes, it must be admit ted, very dark. He was mulatto.
 He was Marcus Marshall, the fine looking conductor of the famous Mar shall minstrels, staying at the Golden.

 By the way, Marshall, want to en- gage your services for my swell dinner next Thursday"
 The rest was lost in the rapidly in- creasing distance between them. Nj nette hurried into her room with Miss Sadie, and George wisely concluded to keep out of her way that day.
 Next morning he went down on the beach. Ninette had to go with Miss Sadie.
 George marched straight up to Ninette and took her hand and looked into her tear swollen eyes.
 "Now, my dear Ninette, let the past be forgotten. Your Apollo is ill bronze and no good to you. You are safe enough now. am going home today, and when you come back home next week am going to ask you the same question 1 asked you the first day came here" and George turned and hastened away.
 Ninette had learned lesson by the sad sea waves. and when she went home it was with trustful respect and affec- ton for the young farmer.
 She married him on the next time hon. ored Thanksgiving day.-Chicago Even ing News.
