and sat there swinging a dainty little foot.
Sabina had seated herself in the third chair

Dorothy made no response to this appeal,
and after a minutes silence Sabina said
practically:

Dorothy, I'll not allow you to disparage

the lieutenant was too tall. If the prince

The next moment the young men stood
before them, and, fntroductions being sober

was graciously pleased to accept, without
however. exhibiting too much haste about
her acceptance, and so they walked Off to-

Throughout the long summer day a gentle
excitement had fluttered the hearts of those
ladies' young, or not so young, who had re-
ceiyed invitations to the ball on board
the CONSERVATION that night. The last
touches were given to creations on which
had been spent skill, taste and money. Our
three young women, being most tastefully
and fashionably attired, were In high spirits
which state of feeling was exhibited ac-
cording to the nature of each: Sabina rather
stately in her exaltation Dorothy quiet and
demure; while katherine. despite her moth
er's suppllcations. would not be kept quiet,
but swung her graceful gown this way and
that, practicing the slide of waltz, and
quoting w. S. Gilbert. as was her custom
She glided over the floor In rhythm with
her chant.

law, a young officer of the American navy,
who awaited, with dutiful impatience. the
advent of the serene Sabina- When at last
the ladies came down the party set out

to the cruiser on the little revenue cutter
Whip poor-wii, which was later to con-
vey the Secretary of the Navy and his en-
tourage across the same intervening waters.
Just before they reached the pier their steps
were arrested by the boom of cannon, fol-
lowed instantly by the sudden apparition OF

lights; masts, funnel and hull all outlined by
incandeseent stars.

found that the tin breakfast service

III was just n. m, and Mrs. Yellett
thought 1t high time to begin school,
Mary tried to convey to her that the
hour was somewhat unusual. but she
seemed to think that for pupils who
were beginning their tasks compara-
lively late I'm life 1t would be impossi-
bic to start sufficiently early in the
morning. SO at this young and tender
hour, with many mlsglvings, Mary set
about preparing her al fresco class
room.
She chose nice, fiat little piece of
the United States, situated in the shade
Of the clump of willows that bordered
trickling creek not far from her
sylvan bathroom of the early morning.
How she was to sit on the ground
all day and yet preserve properly
pedagogical demeanor was the first
question to be settled. That there was
nothing even remotely resembling a
chair In camp she felt reasonably as
sured, as paw was sitting on an in
verified soap box under pine tree, and
paw. by reason Of age and infrmity,
appropriated all luxuries. Mrs. Vel

the situation.
