TIE THIRD PARTY.

the February thaw. Jarvis bad
come across from the law school
with nothing particular to do,
and was feeling even too lazy
to go to the library to read.
when he found himself in front
of Stoughton and decided to 60
in and see Ford, a senior, whom
ne knew very well, but whose
rooms he had never seen. Ford
was out. the solitary occupant
of the room said, but be would
soon return, so Jarvis had better
come in.
Partly because he had roth
ing else to do and partly be-
cause the room attracted him,
he stroIled in and sat down at
the window seat and proceeded
to light his pipe.
Jarvis ewes wandered from
One piece of bric-a-brac to the
other until they suddenly
stopped at the desk, and he sat
app. Looking straight at him
out of a silver frame, was
very beautiful girls face, with
eyes that looked straight into
his own-eyes one trusted.
Jarvis drew a quick breath. 1t
was a photograph of Edith
Ashcroft.
A great wave of recollection
swept over him and he closed
his eyes for minute. Ah, how
lonely be had been since that
September, two years ago, when
he had first met herI He had
never before realized what he
had missed out of his life in not
having a home, or mother or
sister.
He sank back 10 the shadow
OF the curtains on the broad
window seat and looked at the
picture through a haze of
smoke.
Several fellows strolled in to
see Ford, but he did not notice
them until some one awOke him
from his reverie with the fol-
lowing greeting:
why, old man, why so solemn
over there in the corner? Heard
the news? Ford is going to an.
pounce his engagement on class
day."
"Who's the girl?' asked Jar
Wis, lazily. His eyes were
still fixed on the eyes of the
gpicture.
"Wby, Miss Ashcroft, of
course. He has been devoted
to for the last year. There is a
picture of her over here some.
where"
Everyone noticed the change
An Jarvis as the end OF the year
came. He was pale and thin,
and bad a stoop he never had
before. He seemed old, like a
man who had struggled long
and failed.
Z The fellows had tried to get
him to enter into their plans for
those last half sad, happy days
of college life, but he refused
all invitations for class dav
spreads. He had made up his
mind to escape and not return
until it was all over, but an lr.
resistible impulse drew him
back in the late afternoon. He
must see her once more before
he went out IN the world alone.
1t was twilight and the sun.

Meath bright skies and gray,

And thanked God for Winter,

He sang with the reapers
That reaped through the years
The thorus with the roses,
The hopes with the fears;
And Light was bright
In the rain of his tears
The Light of the joy of the

California Amateur Tars Begin Work
on New Quarters Near Key
Route DeDOt.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
first pile of the foundation for the
new house of the California Yacht
Club was driven at a point about 1000
feet from the pierhead OF the Key
route railroad. The work of driving
the piles will be completed in a few
days. No ceremony accompanied the
work, except that a new burgee of the
California Yacht Club was raised. Ex-
Commodore ]. w. Pew Of the Corin-
THAN Yacht Club sailed over from
Tiburon Cove in the sloop Truant to
witness the work. The sloop Valkyrie
also cruised off the pier. Two or three
well-known yachtsmen were present
on the pier, among them Allen M.

Yacht Club, to whose energy the crea-
ton Of the fund for acquiring new
headquarters on the bay is chiefly due

purposes on the part Of Folk against
me and certain prominent banker

was promised to all who would give
information that would lead to my
being indicted.
II am charged with bribinR q wit

about the indictment before I left st.

vance for the furnishing OF a bond. !"
