SAN Francisco, May lin the local
to-day, but the uncertainty regarding
the disposition of the 10000 tons held by
the Fair syndicate was such that oper-

An evening paper says that the leading
wheat shippers of California have COM
bined for the purpose of keeping down
the actual price OF grain. and that they
have agreed to pay much lower price
for shipping wheat than the European
quotations warrant. -Four firms control
the shipping trade and tonnage supply.

one hundred feet high by some thirty

She was stupefied and incredulous
of the brusque expulsion.

You shall not enter my door again. A

The voice of the old man, piercing
and sharp, rose to a sort of howl of
menace with these words
Dolores turned away, with Florio
under her arm.
The morning was clear, and the sum
shine dazzling. yet the sky seemed
about TO fall on her head. Was it
true that her grandfather had ban
ished her from the Watch Tower for
ever?
A crushing blow skaters the prism
of a crystal. The shock of brutal. un-
foreseen election from her home. by
her nearest relative, scattered her
ideas in a similar manner. Her first
thought was of Arthur Curzon. Where
was he? How could she find him in
her humiliation and distress? Dolores
lacked the nerve requisite to haunt the
quay in quest of him. Or did some in
stinct of modest pride withhold her
from displaying her shame to the
world? oddly enough, the first and
rudimentary comprehension of dread
of public opinion in her mind took the
form of a natural shrinking from the
eye of slender and grave DIR. Dusatti,
and his yellow. little mother. The
recollection of the ladies Of the ball,
and of the gentlemen who had been
kind to her on that momentous occa-
sion, did not trouble her. There
remained for her only the safe
refuge of the convent. The sad
and monotonous routine of mon
astic rule was to be the end
of all joy and happiness A sob rose
in her throat

town. No one noticed her aud she
passed other pedestrians as if they had

Near the Notifications she paused to
gaze down on the harbor with a GER
tain wistfulness. Since her childhood
the ships coming and going had always
inspired an indefinable longing and
restlessness in her breast. Now Ar
thur Curzon was on board of one Of
the craft He would be sorry if he
could see her. Perhaps they might
never meet again. All, how she loved
him at this moment She loved him
with all her heart and soul. She
realized the JOY and the bitterness of
the emotion.
The corvette Ladislas was steaming
away in the distance, bearing the
young prince to the Nile. The Italian
packet, the Elettrieo, was to sail at q
later hour for Sicily
Dolores pursued her way until the
walls of the convent became visible.
She halted again, and shuddered, as if
she had received the shock of a blow
full in her heart She trembled and
Bhrank back. If she entered
tnat portal, she might never be abb, to
again escape. On one side were the
