got her prevailing opinion of his kind.
Her heart swelled with gratitude as he
took the oars.
But Charlie Harris was unable to
cope with that tide, and the boat and
its two occupants went sweeping. along
faster and faster until it was among
the heavy breakers of the sea. -
1t CHANGED also that Charlie had him
self been observed, and a party OF
dozen young gnr,tlemen were soon seen
to be making hasty efforts to launch
big boat. Then Charlie perceived par
ty of his friends making good progress
toward his boat.
His feelings were somewhat mixed.
His desire to be saved was divided with
the hope that he might have the honor
of saving Miss Hamilton alone. He
was disappointed, however. The little
boat was brought alongside, and the
pair was transferred safely and brought
to shore.
Then Charlie noticed his own condi-
ton and quickly fled without further
conversation. Miss Hamilton also came
to her senses and started for the hotel
without word.
She said nothing about her adventure
to the array of severe matrons who
lined the piazza as she approached, and,
eating her supper as quickly as possible,
she Joined the group, which was busily
discussing the propaganda of their cause
and the campaign which was to be
waged for the emancipation of women.
Somehow the old subject had lost some
of it's SAVIOR to Miss Hamilton. She talk
ed less and seemed to have lost her ami
nation.
Charlie Harris was also suffering in
a different way.
I'VE are going to apply to the life
saving service, old man," said Reggie
Bowles, for situation here to rescue
pretty girls in the summer, but I'm
afraid you'll not be cap'en, Charlie. -
Each one had little jibe until it was
too hot for Charlie. He went to his
room and dressed for evening. It was
born in him that he owed Miss Hamil-
ton an apology. At all events it made
an excellent excuse.
As Charlie approached the hotel he
noticed Miss Hamilton, and he quietly
cursed to himself when be saw her sur
roundings. Miss Hamilton also noticed
him, and her color deepened. 1t was
Just this moment that she began to hate
the "cause.'

said, "but I should like to speak to you,
Miss Hamilton.
The entire company rose as if gov
erned by the same impulse and departed
with elevated noses. Miss Hamilton and
Harris had the place to themselves
At the departure Miss Hamilton
found to her surprise that she had &C

Sankaty light the next day.
When the two departed the next
morning. there was wave of dismay
in the camp of the woman suffragists.

and she is no longer respectable" de-
clared the leader of the crowd, and her
opinion was regarded as final.
Miss Hamilton was no longer trou-
bled by their society. Strangely enough
she was no longer concerned over the
degraded condition of woman.
When Miss Leila Hamilton returned
TO the old Office Oh State street, she was
discovered to be as charming and girl
ish as ever, and it was also noticed that
certain callers whom she had been
wont to receive came no more.

were other things about Miss Hamilton
which were new and strange. When
the postman came and letter was
handed to her-an event of three or four
times a Week.-Mrs. Hamilton would
turn little pale and quickly hide it in
her waist.

when Miss Hamilton came
to the Office with sparkling object on
her engagement finger, and the veneer
able senior partner received her resigna-
ton to take effect soon.-Boston Globe.
