Late In the afternoon his meditations

CHAPTER NIII.
A MOVE

n bfoIEhhI MONE,
mf IT was morning when Eliza
l8I Il beth came again to the ter
ka3mS6d race above the water battery
gasXsssg overlooking the harbor. She
had passed n night of slecplcss agony,
and her pallid face, with its huggard
expression, the great black circles un-
der the cycs-for her grief had been
too deep for tears-gavc outward evil
dencc of her breaking heart. She had
besought the admiral again and again
to stay the execution of her lover, urg.
ing every plea that the most desperate
mind could suggest. She had implored
his mercy and pity upon every ground,
and upon his memorable refusal had
begged that he might bo repricved for
q few hours md that sho might at
least be allowed to see him before he
died. Touched by her sorrow, Mt first
the old man had beer inclined to grant
this petition and had scrubbed n line
on his official paper, giving the desired
permission, but before lie signed and
sealed it he changed his mind and
deemed 1t best to refuse-more mcrci-
full to her, In fact.
1t really wrung his heart to be I'M
able to extend clemency to this young
man. He repented him of the tempta-
ton lie had thrown In his way. The
nobility with which O'Ncill had re-
fused and rejected the chance of life
which had been offered him, the sim
plicity with which he had given up
everything for honor, impressed him
more than e lie was sick ut heart
at the grief of his ward, whom he
| truly loved, and the broken, dcspairing
face of his son since lie had learned
that Elizabeth loved O'Neill haunted
him. lie wished that the Irishnan
had never come across his path, though
he could not but admire his honor, his
grace and his courage. He was bit
terly sorry that lie had eyer attempted
to influence the man. He had an .un.
comfortable and growing suspicion
that his plans had brought nothing
but trouble TO every ono. Breaking
away from the presence of eliza beth,
whose anguislled face was n living re-
proach to him, he finally secluded him
self In his Office and refused to see her
again.
SO the day, like yesterday, wore
away, but, oh, how differently! The
girl never knew how she passed the
hours. She wandered restlessly up
and down the terrace, her eyes strain
ed upon the sea. The garrison, who
idolized her to n man, had been apprls-
ed by the sergeant of what had hap.
pened, and, to a man, they were upon
her side. The men would never forget
the picture she made as they watched
her pacing to and fro, censclcssly gaz-
ing at the white ship in the harbor-

work on the foundation for the new
third ward school building will be be
gun next week and pushed as fast as
possible. The cost of the completed
building is placed in the neighborhood
of s., 600.
Through the courtesy of Rev. L. Z.
flnney, who will superintend the con-
struction OF the building, and who drew
them up, we were shown the plans and
specifications and were given the fol-
lowing data;
The plans were AS complete as could
be made by any architect, showing front
and side elevations Of the building and
hoor plans from foundation to roof.
The building will be Romanesque in
design, two stories in height, built of
brick, with pressed brick veneer Garth
age stone trimmings and foundation of
rough-dressed native stone metal roof.
Each of the two floors will contain two
class rooms of 24x30 feet, three cloak
rooms and large corridor, with lavatory
on ground floor. The building will be
heated by steam, the steam heating
plant to be located in the basement
where there will be storage room for a
carload of coal From the basement
there will run up beside the smoke
stack two vents for carrying off the foul
air generated in the class rooms, thus
assuring pure air at all times in these
rooms, something very necessary for
the preservation of the health of the
children. The building, with the ex.
ception Of two windows on each floor.
will be entirely lighted from the north,
thus giving the pupils the best lighting
possible.
For sanitation it is proposed to install
a chemical cesspool until such time as
the city installs sewerage system.
