The persistent rumor that the Uni

purchase the Galapagos islands has
recently derived additional strength
from certain semi-otiicial admissions
made at Washington. The probability
of such action on the part of the gov
crnment is demonstrated still further
by the announcement that diplomatic
negotiations of Importance are In pro-

fol; he never left the high walls which
4 surrounded his estate. and on no ac-
count was anyone allowed to enter his
domain, save the necessary servants
and tradesmen.
One warm summers afternoon Sir
Giles was being drawn in bis bath
chair across the lawn, thence along
narrow pathway until the wall was
reached. Under the tree there was n
comfortable lounge chair, in which,
with the help Of his footman, Sir Giles
took his seat.
.Push me a little nearer the wall,
he cried. irritably. Now you can go.
Come back at 4 o'clock"
The baronet gazed after the footman
until he disappeared among the trees.
He then proceeded to displace stone
near the bottom of the wall. His
fingers CROPPED around, and he gave a
sign of deep satisfaction.
mo letter. They will come, then"
A quarter Of an hour passed, and he
tapped his fingers impatiently on the
magazine which lay OH his lap.
THAT'S the boy" he muttered, as
there came a soft rustling Of dried
leaves.
..She Is late"
The voice was impatient
Sir Giles chuckled softly.
'.The Impotence of youth"
A glad cry was heard, the sound Of
OF kiss, then another kiss.
.aThe girl now" the old man said
softly.
Twenty years of solitude had left
their marks on his face. AS he listen
ed to the love chatter Of the young
couple on the other side Of the wall
his face gradually softened.
Not always had he been the recluse
and misanthrope. There was no proud
er and happier man than Sir Giles had
been some twenty years ago. His life
and hopes were centered in his son
Jack, a fine, manly young fellow, such
as would gladden. any fathers heart.
The quarrel was sudden one. The
reason-a woman. Hard words were
exchanged, for they were both possess
sors of the Aravis temper. A parting
in anger and two months afterward
news came of Jacks death. Not a
line or message had been left for his
father.
The blow was terrible one to Sir
Giles. he closed his heart to all
human sympathy and retired to the Sc
clusion of Travis towers.
A few months afterward he was
stricken with paralysis, and the long
years had been wearisome with suffer-
ing and ennui.
For the last two or three months a
new interest had come into his life.
The whole pretty love comedy seemed
to have been played within earshot.
When first they met there was the
difference Of youth. Their voices Mt
flrst were louder, but as their love in
creased their seats on the fallen tree
without the wall grew closer together,
and their voices were lowered when
they began to exchange sweet loving
nothings.
A week ago the boy had declared his
passion. The old mans heart seemed
to unfreeze and grow human again as
he listened to the passionate pleading
of the lover, the shy, timid answer,
and the frenzled kisses that were ex-
changed.
Only twice since that day had they
1 met, and a cloud had appeared on
loves horizon.
