THIS is the story of man who fell
in love, began Grosvenor III charm
Ugly inperoonal way. 1T was at q
canoe, and he met very pretty girl,
who Impressed him as being a very
sw1 let girl as we'll as clever girl. She
had wonderful large blue eyes and
beaut:tni lair skin and hair like threads
e gold. That nj. ht he waltzed with
hfr and fell In love with her. She gave
him lGse-a red rose. one of a cluster
that hal been near her heart. He took
it and hrid the stem in his mouth, and
alone on the piazza, think. he kissed
it, which was very sentimental thing
to do and very silly. And he carried it
home that night and while driving with
the sky above him he carried it in his
mouth. and something told him he loved
Der. And in that man s room at college
there hangs on the wall rose that was
once red and fragrant, but is now faded
and crunbling."
Grace Boardman laughed Its very
pretty, she said, "all that
Grosvenor could not help feeling
panied at her sarcastic tone, but he
looked at her, and something told him
she was not so much amused at what
might seem foolish sentimentality as
he thought at first.
That, =" he said, twas the beginning.
II hadn't told you last night what fol-
lowed, | should tell you again. After
I left you, and you sent me away as you
did, felt very miserable. And sup
pose you were very angry with me,
were you not?''
Yes, was angry with you"
"Isuppose shouldn't have said what
I did,
ut wasn't so much that"
Il took you by surprise?'
Yes, and everybody was looking,
Odd didn't know exactly what to
say"
Grosvenor looked back and saw that
the sail, swelling far out, shut them
off altogether from the people in the
stern. They were SO much occupied
that they did not know or care what
was going Oh forward.
Then there is no reason why we
shouldn't have it out now," said Gros-
venor in a businesslike tone. II sup

night-about our families knowing one

| could give you and do for you if we
were married. But l love you very
much, SO much that if you tell me to 60

| should know that you didn't care at
all for me, and that troubled you a
great deal, and you didn't care to have
me around. Now, I wish you would
tell me once for all, did you mean every
thing you said last night?"
Eyes, she answered, ever so family.
Then | will do as you want me to.
I will go away in the morning.
And then as a realization Of this came
ever Grace Boardman the prediction of
Miss Eunice flashed into her mind, and
she saw that the dear old lady had been
right and saw very clearly that if Gros-
venor left her life would scarcely be
worth living, and she knew she loved
him as much as he did her. ~s
1T Will be very hard for me,
know Grosvenor was saying, "but !
will do it if you say SO.
Il think" said the girl, turning her
face toward him at that moment, that
l meant it was too soon then. l have
been doing a great deal Of thinking
since l saw you last night, and perhaps
-you-you mad better stay.
And none in the stern of the boat
knew that Grosvenor held Grace Board

over to Monomoy point.
1T was here he said, telling her of
his midnight row, THAT I had dream,
and thought l saw you walking toward
me in a great light, and You were smil-
ing and had your hands outstretched,
and l awoke and found the sun rising
back of Monomoy, and it was then l
decided to come back and see you
again..
And the girl looked over toward the
strip of land which seemed like dark
shadow in the moonlight, and she
clasped Grosvenor hand very tightly.
Dear old Monomoy!" she said.-

At times people would come in and
out of the other room, which was the
principal apartment of the grocery store,
where the card players usually gathered.
Then at times nothing could be heard
but the fall of the cards or the buzzing
Of q few flies on the window panes.
From the rear part of the room came
the scent of salted fish. A rlckety stove
stood in the room, and round about the
counters were the usual articles found
in q country store from the spool of

Grosvenor entered the game for the

He had several hours to kill until Grace

and he cared very little what he did un-

and have it settled once for all.

Grosvenor grasped the rail Of the
boat with one hand bit tighter.
Il am very sorry if it is a trouble to
you" said he.
Back in the stern Of the boat the peo-
pie were making a great deal of noise.
Some of them were singing, and Yale
man was picking out an accompaniment
on his banjo. GrosvenoI listened to
their singing with wild unrest in his
heart. and he laughed cynically at their
light heartedness and wondered why
they were SO happy and careless. Then
the singing stopped, and the Yale man
played waltz on his hanio, and Gros-
venor heard the tones throb in his brain.
And Grace BoarGman clasped her
hands and looked at him with a glance
that made him hone.

GATE WIDE OPEN FOR FRAUD.
Grand Jury Denounoes st. John
land Farm Management.
Scathing Denunciation Of Methods
OF Awarding Contracts.

The Grand Jury Of Kings County
handed UP a presentment to Judge
Moore, In the Brooklyn Court OF SEES
sions. this morning. which denounces the
practices on the St. Johnland County
Farm In vigorous terms. The Grand
Jury had made an inspection OF the va
rous institutions. and the presentment
Is tire result.
After explaining that on their visit to
the farm they were met by Charities
Commissioner Colt and that in a great
measure inspection was shut, of, the
Grand Jury recommends that the farm
be transferred over to the State so that
Kings County should not be burdened
with an institution that has already cost
over 100000
The Inquiry into the system Of award
ing st. Johnland contract the present
ment says. disclosed practices of most
pernicious character. Months before the
adopted by the Supervisors. the Chari-
ties Commissioners and the County Farm
had considered the plans and knew ev-
cry detail of the work.
Yet. after the contract was made,
changes were made until the original
price, $3.50, 7s1. had swollen to $780,
They denounce this system as vicious

lite pavement" are new items injected
into the work. in which no bidder was

by the supervising engineer, who is paid
by percentages. and had personal rea-
sons for being liberal.
1T is to be hoped" the presentment
continues. that the Supervisors will
audit no bills for contracts Of this kind
In the future. II II Is once understood
that plans and specifications as APP
proved have e,, no purpose st but the deGep,
other plans and specifications will be
substituted and prices liked outside Of
competition, honest contractors Will
cease to figure in public work, favorites
will have full swing and the people will
be left at the mercy Of committees
whose word Is all potent, and whose
action in issuing agreeable orders can
hardly be set down as purely disinter-
ested."
The Grand Jury found Raymond Street
jail In clean and healthy condition.
This shows that the report OF the last
Grand Jury had a good effect; as in It

GUyANDOTTE ASHORE.
Old Dominion Steamship Hard and

A despatch from Sandy Hook states
that during the fog this morning the
Old Dominion line steamship Guyan-
dotte ran ashore on Romer Shoals.
The Guyandotte left Norfolk. Va, and
Newport News on June "a with a full
cargo of fresh vegetables and other
merchandise. The trip was made with
out OF the slightest mishap until the
heavy fog set in last evening. 1t was
so dense on the water that Capt.
Walker. the commander. In order to
avoid possible danger. went at reduced
speed. SO slowly in fact that the wheels
scarcely revolved.
1t was impossible to zee more than a
length ahead, and in this way It is be-
lieved the pilot lost his bearings.

ship was slowly picking its way. the
vessel struck the shoal. A sharp graf
