"Why, certainly, of course will. We

Billings made no reply to this compli-
ment, but shouted out some orders, and
the lively crew had the little vessel started
out after the monster ship in a few
minutes. They came alongside just as
the last tug was leaving and as the
ships screw was beginning to churn the
water.
The ladder had not yet been drawn in
over the side, and up Pemberman scram-
bled. After shouting goodby and many
blessings to Billings he climbed in over
the side.
His advent into the ship was noticed by
the passengers, who, on seeing the little
steam yacht just moving away, became
aware that he had made a desperate effort
to catch the steamer, and cheered him
loudly.
He went below and sat down on sofa
to cool off little and to think what he

THE LOCKET DOLLAR.
by @. Frederic Cressyl

This is a story OF young man who was
Fery much in love. When a young man
Is in love for the first time he is likely to
70 very foolish things-things that will
be told ofhim after he is dead, married or
broke.
This particular yo1ng man way g years
DID when he fell in love. He had just left
roilege, where he had distinguished him
self and carried of high honors in that
most important branch-foot ball.
Most young men settle down and go to
work IN an Office on salary Of from So to
F5 a week when they first leave college, or
perhaps they drag a chain over the
country as a civil engineers assistant.
Some get positions on newspapers,
where they are usually paid by the COL
umn. This is very interesting and excit-
ing, like every other game of chance, for
he is always uncertain at the beginning
of the week whether he viii make S17 or
II cents by the end of it. Or if he is so
fortunate as to be put on salary he is
morally sure that he has earned every
cent OF it three or four times over when it
is paid to hlm.
All the above explanation is to show
what the young man l am going to write

he spent a whole day at an auction, and
at night repeated all the sales, the prices
and the names of the buyers.

The region between the first and second

the parlor of the Mecrer mansion on
Walnut street, Philadelphia, waiting the
coming of Grace.
He has seen tombstone, who delivered
the locket to him with the explanation
that he had not spent the dollar, for he
had dropped it on the floor OF the ticket
Office and 1t had bounced open.
He had been able to borrow another and
had put the locket carefully in his pocket,
intending to write at once to Pemberman
about it.
When he received the letter written on
the ship, he had dispatched the welcome
cablegram at once, which had been re-
ceived at Queenstown.
From Johnstone's office Pemberman
had come straight to the MERGERS In q
moment she came running into the room
and there was very pretty love scene On
acted. There was a moments silence,
then Grace looked up into his face and
said, Erred (she did not like Wilfred), do
you think would let little thing like an
old locket interfere with our happiness!
You re big goosey boy.' And she put
her head down on his shoulder and cried.

he was on his way to England. If he had
only not met tombstone.
n BY the way, think / will write a
note to him, just to let him know how
much trouble he has caused me, and
send it by the pilot.' So he wrote a
short note to tombstone and put it into
the box for thai obliging individual, the
pilot.
Then he sought out the captain and
told him the state of affairs, but did not
/ tell him what the locket contained; he
simply stated that it was valuable as a
relic.
The captain was very obliging and told
him there was an upper berth in state
room No. - which he could have, as the
man who had engaged it had not
turned up.
Pemberman was more than pleased and
after thanking the captain profusely
started off to take a look at his stateroom
and to leave his bag there.
In the room he found an alligator skin
bag in one corner and he remembered
how the ticket agent had described the
man with the dollar.
'An Englishman with an alligator skin
| bag and bundle of rugs.'
There was no reason why anybody else
could not have a bag just like that one,
but somehow Pemberman made up his
mind that that bag belonged to the Eng
lishman he was looking for.

at snail's pace, when in reality it was
making mile minute.
Pemberman was as restless as a. Gagged
tiger, and had his watch in his hand the
whole of the way over, taking the time at
each station and comparing IL with the
time table.
At last, however, he arrived exactly on
time and hurried to the ferry boat.
AS he neared the New York shore he
strained his eyes in the direction of the
Cunard docks to catch glimpse of the
Umbria.
He saw her just leaving the pier short
distance below the ferry dock.
When the boat touched he jumped
ashore and rushed down the street, dodg-
ing in and out between the drays and
cabs at the eminent risk of his neck.
He arrived at the Cunard pier out of
breath and perspiring profusely.
! The Umbria had just left. She had not
yet reached the center of the stream and
the two little tugs were putting and
blowing in their efforts to get her
pointed seaward.
The dock was crowded with people,
rich and poor mingling together. Most
OF the women were crying and there were
tears in the eyes of some of the men.
TIE tops of big box and a bag of wool
were crowded with ladies seeking to get
better view of the departing ship and to
see better the futter of the white hand
kerchiefs, which were the last signals OF
| friends and relations whom they would
not see again for months, perhaps never.
Each one on shore was waving a hand
kerchief or flag too, and several were
shouting messages and good Dyes, though
the ship was too far off for tn cir voices to
be heard.
Pemberman was in despair. He knew
that belated passengers had succeeded in
catching transatlantic ships by going

No, Wilfred Pemberman was so fortu-
nate as to have an uncle die and leave him
very snug little fortune, which paid
him annually 81, 900. Besides that, Penn
berman's father, a Philadelphia stock
broker, had been very lucky and had col
leeted fair fortune, which young Penn
herman would, in course of time, fall
heir to.
So with these pleasant prospects he had
decided to wait awhile before he went
into business and to put in two or three
years enjoying himself and seeing the
world.
He decided when he graduated to spend
his first summer at Newport and to sal
for Europe in the fall.
In the early part of the season he met
Miss Grace Mercer at q dance and imme-
diately fell in love with her She was
very pretty and had very pleasant way
of making everyone comfortable In her
society.
She was also a Philadelphian. Her
father was lawyer of much repute, but
little wealth. Still that did not matter,
for Pemberman had enough for two to
live on very com tortably and have little
left over Tor extras.
In the course of time Miss Mercer fell
IN love with Pemberman. They were to
gether almost every day during the
whole season. He was her constant
partner at the hop, on the beach, in the
surf, and on many pleasant sailing par
ties, which he would arrange for her,
giving her the privilege of inviting who-
ever she chose. while he furnished the
lunches and footed the bills. He had g
very generous disposition.
AS the seashore people become better
acquainted in one month than they would
during two winters IN a city, because
they see more of one another and each be-
comes acquainted with the others every

1T is ALL RIGHT.

That the decision Of he court OF
civil appeals ON Austin's Dam Bond
suit was disappointment TO our peo-
pie is only too true; but that 1t Is evil
mixed with very much good Is also
true. The decision that the city coun'
Gil is the sule Judge Of the necessity
for q new water and light plant, that
the city had the right to tax herself
th is 81 ,4OO, 600 extra If she so desired
for purpose coming under the terms
of her charter, that the railroad to the
dam was a legitimate expenditure
and that it was the intention OF the
people solely In building the dam
that constitutes the legality or lille
gality, are all points very
much In the city's favor and go nearly
the entire length Of finally settling
this vexatious litigation into whicn
the city has been so unnecessarily
driven. From the nature of the case
sent up to the court of appeals and
their decision that as to two matters
of fact It must have new trial In the
court below, 1t Is inevitable that de-
lay must follow. Ibis is much to be
regretted, but should not make US at
all respondent. The case came three
fourths "our way" in this higher
court and the new trial will give us
the other fourth. In the meantime,
thankful TO We have
already received, confident Of
the future and being resolved
to succeed, let us put our hands more
jealousy than ever before to the work
Just around us and content ourselves
in patience. "All things come to him
who waits"-but Austin will both
wait and work and double success
will be ours.
