thoughts received a jerk; there were
two great letters written in the sand,
and half-consciously he stopped 20
read them. Then suddenly he step
ped back, and gazed again.
That's odd" he muttered at length,
and his face flushed and his eyes were
interested. Its nothing of course.
But S. F.! It's a queer coincidence"
Then he noted the small footprints
and the trail of the sunshade. and un-
hesitatingly he followed them.
At the end of the trail he found the
pink lady-the daintiest little person
he had ever seen-and he stood abash-
ed before her as she looked up with
wide, innocent eyes, as If half-startled
at the intrusion. But he did not turn
away.

ed, but | feel almost as il couldn't

declared, simply, but plain, unpoi-

"Ah! / am 10 that" she admitted.

eager as a boy.

WHAT IS. F. MEANT.

muslin frock about her waist by means
OF. a satin sash, and looking back at
her reflection as she did so. On her
head was a pink triumph-in other
words, a shady hat-in her eyes lay
a twinkle of mischief, and her chiffon
sunshade lay on the bed.
A few minutes later, fully equipped.
Miss Mary Girlington passed through
the y~estibule. There was a travel
worn trunk in n corner with two
initials on it on which her eyes flick
cred with a CLEAN OF satisfaction, then
she stepped into the garden, and on
down the cliff path leading to the
beach. When this was reached h
slackened pace, sauntering, as IL to

life.
The tide was out; the beach was de-
serted save for a shrimper far out by
the rock pools; the sand was smooth
and yellow, as tempting to the ferrule
of a sunshade as a sheet OF fair paper
to a scribbler. At any rate, the temp
tation seemed too great for the fer
rule Of Miss ~Girlington's ~sunshade;
with a nonchalant air she prodded and
scooped little tunnels in it; then, with
elaborate carelessness she trailed the
pretty sunshade up and down in some
thing a trifie more shapely. When this
was done she gave a surreptitious
glance of her merry eyes toward the
cliff path. then sauntered on across
the beach, trailing her sunshade as
she went.
Soon after the dainty pink figure
had disappeared round a group of
rocks a second figure came down the
cliff path to the beach. A mar this

lures. and tanned complexion. He
strolled along aimlessly, smoking a
cigar and looking alternately out to
sea, and at the surrounding scenery.
The solitary shrimper seemed no in
truder on the deserted beach, and the
newcomer spread his arms slowly, and
gave a huge stretch of contentment.
IT'S good to be in England for a
time" he thought, land free-and idle
in a little place where no one knows,
or cares, whether you're a power in
the land or a trupper from town. But
/ wonder what fate led me here, of
all places in the world?"
Then, like the pink lady. he saun-
tered on, but now his eyes were on
the ground, and he prodded with his
stick as he went. When, however, he
reached the spot where the smooth
ness had been already RULED. his

SHE INSISTED ON FRESH AIR.
And the Cold-Blooded Man Had to Stand
the Draught.

Travelling brings out the idiosyncra-
sizes of people as no other experience
can effect. Certainly the man and
woman who occupied opposite COM
partments in a car that recently rolled
westward from New York could not be
said to be as conveniently adjusted as
Jack Sprat and his wife. Ii was a
very cold morning outside the frame
work of the Pullman, but within the
heat surged the mercury upward until
it reached the fever register. "Por-

looked up with innocent interest from
under her shady brim. Stretching
far away from those letters was a
faint trail across the sand, and at the

The tide was still out. The shrimper
was very far away. The beach was
deserted, but the man was so honest
and winning, and after all it was
fate's doing, so she crumpled her pink
pillows and gave permission as gra-
ciously as is the rock had been her
