tain the President were all castby Dem
ocrats. Theb bill authorizes the COVER
norand local officers OF Arizona to lease
the educational lands of the territory

The Presidents objection to the bill
was that 1t did not give the Secretary
OF the Interior power to disapprove the
leases and did not throw proper safe
guards about the timber on the lands.
The statement was made on the floor
that the bill was identica with a similar
Dill passed by the last Congress relating
30 oklahoma Territory OF the rec nest of
the Secretary Of the Interior and that
che present bill had received the written
approval OF both Secretary Smith and
the con- missioner of the general land
office. The statement was also made
that the lands proposed TO be leased
were now in possession OF catedemen
and others, rent free.
The announcement OF the vote was
greeted with Q scattering OF Applause

CHAPTER V.

At no time of u moonlcss summer
night can darkness be said to prevail by
the shore, for the sea bears within its
murmurous breast its own mysterious
illumination, blending and making it
self one with the long, soft tumult of
sound that while man slumbers seems
to fill with its music the whole world.
Lord Straubenzoc's little house lay
suffered and dark against the cliff be-
hind it :; on the sea front no living thing
was visible, for, exhausted by the excite
ment of the day, all the town had re-
tired to rest and nothing short of an
earthquake would make it stir again till
morning
As a distant clock struck l2 dark
outline moved from beside boat where
it lay and presently rose to its feet. 1t
was awoman With the skirt Of her black
gown over her head, as she had disposed
it when she boldly walked out Of the
house opposite three hours before and
past the crowd that gaped against tho
wooden palings and stared in at the open
window where Will Cassilis, Mamie
and her father sat over dessert.
If one of them had spoken to, had
touched her, she must have shrieked
aloud, for the peril of passing unseen
through n narrow house that had but
one exit had been enormous, but they
took her for housemaid hurrying to a
tryst and never dreamed Of her identity.
As she had stolen through the narrow
entry she had heard the servants as they
busted themselves with coffee cups in
the pantry behind her, the low voices of
the trio in the dining room, and had
they listened, had they looked, they
must have heard her pass the door,
might even in the track thrown by the
lamplight have seen her cross the lawn.
The rest had been child's play-to
walk down the parade, then double on
her track by way of the beach and hide
herself beneath shelter Of boat. One
scare only she had, which came from
Coleman, who after his elegant repast
had walked down to the waters edge,
and with a fine, condescending air Of adj
miring the stars he regarded himself as
connoisseur of the beauties of nature) re-
tired indoors to make his final arrange
mcnts before leaving his master for the
night.
Hagar glided over the beach too swift
ly to make much sound, and in a very
few minutes had climbed the path and
stood outside the door Of the house which
she would now for the first time enter
free.
If some watcher were within, the
hardest part of her work was yet to
come, but even for that emergency she
was prepared as she lifted her hand and
tried the door, finding it locked, as she
expected She softly tried the window
sash. That, too, was secured, and she
then went round to the hack Of the cot
