Elinor glanced roguishly at the
young man sitting dejectedly beside
her on the sand at Milton Point.
"You may have as many minutes as
this sand takes to run through my
fingers" she said, taking up handful
of warm. white sand from the beach.
And then If you continue to be dis
agreeable and cross Pll-well never

She let the soft sand trickle slowly
through her sun burned fingers like
a minute glass as she hummed care
lessly, softly, IF 1 but knew"
The young man turned impatiently
and looked out across the broad ex-
panse of water. How easily the white
winged yachts SKINNED over the wa

would run so smoothly.
"Elinor" he said, turning to her,
"will you stop singing that song?'

| doubted that he really meant all ne
said He was such a serious sort OF

her own estimate of herself Why
should he love her? And yet, why
should he say so If he did not?

She pointed to a large rock just in the
edge OF the now low tide.

ed at the very though of it. Should
she go on?
And what then? Who ever stayed
out there all night?" he asked, know
ing well what was coming
"Why-why nobody" she hesitated.
"Would you do it?'
"Do YOU ask me tor" He looked at
her intently. She was building a pyra-
, mid of sand.
I'D believe you If you did" she
said. at length, and looking into his
eyes TO see how he would receive the
suggestion.
"And you'd like to believe me, Eli
nor? Tell me that-but, no, don't; I'll
do it. Are we not living hundred
years ago?"
Blinor wished, now that he had
promised to do it, that she had not
asked it. Suppose a storm should COME
up and the waves should dash over
the rock and sweep him off and-and
he was not able to swim far enough 10
reach shore.

But Jack would not pass over the
century so quickly. He would do as
/ she had asked him: he would spend
the night on the big rock and then

EHnor sat in the window of their
! summer cottage on the shore and
watched the tide come in, wave by
wave. One by one the shadows fell
| and the figure out on the rock became
less and less distinct. At last she had
/ 10 go out to the beach to see 1t all.
Higher and higher grew the water
mark about the rock, and yet the
! figure did not move: il sat on the
| topmost point. looking out over the
| sound.
! At last it was too dark to see the
figure on the rock and Elinor walked
up and down the beach in front of the
cottage. She was supposed to have
retired, but somehow 1t seemed SO
useless to pretend to sleep. She Won

long ago slpt on as usual while their

wished tomorrow would come when
she might live again in the twentieth

The searchllght of a Sound steamer
was thrown on the rock and by its
light she could see the waves break
and smash about the ragged edges.
Running close to the waters edge
she looked up and down for a skim
one of the old float boats she and Jacl
so often fished in. Finding one fai
up on the shore she dragged 1t dowI

Stroke by stroke she pulled out to-
