Earthquakes, fires, floods and tidal
waves have been especially numerous
and destructive in Mexico this year.
The latest of the visitations is a tidal
wave along the coast of Lower Cali
fornia, causing the loss of several
lives and the demolition of many
buildings. AS the wave swept inland
for two miles something of the force
and extent of the flood may be con
ceived. Mexico will have reason to
remember 1909 because of the fire.

We had reached Glenarm gate, and
st. Agatha's was now hidden by the
foliage along the winding path Helen
threw away the bits of twig when we
came to the wall, and, as 1 swung the
gate open, paused mockingly with
clasped hands and peeped inside.
L must go back" she said. Then,
her manner changing, she dropped her
hands at her side and faced me.
You will warn me, Mr.. Donovan,

she murmured. averting her eyes.
1 turned to retrace the path with
her; but she forbade me and was gone
swiftly-a flash of white through tho
trees-before 1 could parley with her.

hear her light tread in the path. And
when she had vanished a feeling of

changed the Glenarm gates to-
gether sharply and went in to dinner;
but 1 pondered long as I smoked on
the star-hung terrace. There was no
Disgusting the truth that the coming
of the Holbrooks had got on my
nerves-at least that was my phrase
for it. Now that thought of it, they
were impudent intruders and Paul
Stoddard had gone too far in turning
them over to me. There was nothing
in their story, anyhow; it was pre-
posterous, and I resolved to let them
severely alone. But even as these
thoughts ran through my mind
turned toward ST. Agatha's, whose
lights were visible through the trees,
and 1 knew that there was nothing
honest in my Impotence. Helen Hol-
brooks eyes were upon me and her
voice called from the dark; and when
the clock chimed nine in the tower
beyond the wall memory brought back
the graceful turn of her dark head,
the firm curve of her throat as she
had listened to the mellow fling of the
bells.
Sobered by these reflections, I left
the terrace shortly after IL and walked
through the strip of wood that lay
between the house and the lake to the
Glenarm pier; and at once matters
took a turn that put the love of WON
an quite out of the reckoning.

en-. 'It must be a great luxury for the
the farmers to have the post-off1ce at

Yes, but the school and Mr.. Glen

until we can have it sent to US with

Certainly, Aunt Pat" replied Hell
en-, readily. 81 didn't mean to give
Mr.. Donovan the impression that my
correspondence was enormous; but it
is odd to be shut up in this way and
not to be able to do as one likes in
such little Matters
1t was time for me to leave and I
picked up my hat and stick. AS 1
started away 1 was aware that Helen
Holbrook detained me without in the
least appearing to do so, following a
few steps to gain, as she said, a GER
tain view of the lake that was par
ticularly charming.
There is nothing rugged in this
landscape, but it is delightful in its
very tranquility she said as we
1oitered on, the shimmering lake be-
fore us, the wood behind ablaze with
the splendor of the sun. She spoke of
the beauty of the beeches, which are
of noble girth in this region, and
paused to indicate a group of them
whose smooth trunks were like mas
sive pillars. AS we looked back 1 saw
that Miss Pat had gone into the house,
driven, no doubt, by the persistency of
the west wind that crisped the lake
Helen's manner changed abruptly, and
she said:
IF any difficulty should arise here,
if my poor father should find out
where we are, trust that you may be
able to save my aunt anxiety and
pain. That is what 1 wished to say
to you, Mr.. Donovan"
Certainly L replied, meeting her
eyes, and noting a culver of the lips
that was eloquent of deep feeling and
loyalty. She continued silent as we
marched on and I felt that there was
the least defiance in her air; then she
drew a handkerchief from her sleeve,
touched it lightly to her eyes, and
smiled.
Il had not thought of quite follow
ing you home! Here is GIenarm gate
and there lie your battlements and
towers
Rather they belong to my old
friend, John Glenarm. In his goodness
of heart he gave me the use of the
place for the summer; and as gener-
osfty with another's property is very
easy, I hereby tender you our fleet
canoes, boats, steam 1aunch-and the
stable, which contains a variety of
traps and a good riding-horse or two.
They are all at your service. I hope
that you and your aunt will not fail to
avail yourselves of each and all. Do
you ride? 1 was specially charged to
give the horses exercise"
Thank you very much" she said.
when we are well settled, and feel
more secure, we shall be glad to call
on you Father Stoddard certainly
served us well in sending us to you,
Mr.. Donovan"
In moment she spoke again, quite
slowly, and with, I thought, a very
pretty embarrassment
Aunt Pat may have spoken of an

-'Oh, yes; of the youngster who has
been troubling you. Your father and
he have, of course, no connection ?"
NO; decidedly not But he is a

CHAPTER I-continued.

CHAPT TER I.-COntInueo.
IF strange knight in quest of a
lady comes riding through the wood,
how shall I know him? What valorous
words are written on his shield, and
does he carry a lance or suitcase"
He is the Knight of the Sorrowful
Countenance, said Miss Holbrook in
my own key, as she rose. You would
know him anywhere by his clothes
and the remarkable language he uses.
He is not to be taken very seriously
that's the trouble with him, But
have been afraid that he and my
brother might join hands in the pur-
suit of u.s."
But the Sorrowful Knight would
not advance his interests by that
he could only injure his cause," L ex-
claimed.
''Oh, he has no subtelty; he's a
very foolish person; he blunders at
windmills with quixotic ardor.''
Wont you please say goodnight
to Miss Holbrook for me?" 1 said, my
hand on the door.
And then an odd thing happened.
I was about to take my departure
through the front hall when l remem-
bered a short cut to the Glenarm gate
from the rear of the school. L walked
the length of the parlor to a door that
would, 1 knew, give ready exit to the
open. 1 bowed to Miss Pat, who stood
erect, serene, adorable, in the room
that was now touched with the first
shadows of waning day, and her slight
figure was so eloquent of pathos, her
smile so brave, that 1 bowed again,
with a reverence 1 already felt for
her,
Then as I flung the door open and
stepped into the hall 1 heard the soft
swish of skirts, light furtive step,
and caught gl1mpse-or could have
sworn 1 did-of white. There was
only one sister in the house, and
few servants; it seemed incredible
that they could be eavesdropping
upon this guest of the house. 1
crossed a narrow hall, found the rear
door, and passed out into the park.
Something prompted me to turn
when 1 had taken a dozen steps to-
ward the Glenarm gate. The vines on
the gray stone buildings were cool to
the eye with their green that hung
like a tapestry from caves to earth.
And suddenly, as though she came out
of the ivied wall itself, Helen Hol-
opening from one of the first-f1oor
rooms, rested the tips of her fingers
on the green vine-clasped rail, and,
seeing me, bowed and smiled.
She was gowned in white, with a
scarlet ribbon at her throat, and the
green wall wildly accented and
heightened her outline. 1 stood, star
ing like a fool for what seemed a
century of heart-beats as she flashed
forth there, out of what seemed a
sheer depth of masonry; then she
turned her head slightly, as though in
disdain of me, and looked off toward
the lake. l had uncovered at sight of
her, and found, when 1 gained the
broad hall at Glenarm House, that
still carried my hat.
An hour later, as / dined in solitary
state, that white figure was still pres
ent before me; and I could not help
wondering, though the thought an
gered me, whether that graceful
head had not been bent against the
closed door of the parlor at st. Aga
tha's, and (if such were the fact) why
Helen Holbrook, who clearly enjoyed
the full confidence of her aunt, should
have stopped to such trick to learn
what Miss Patricia said to me-

BRYAN TO RUN FOR SENATE.
Interesting Announcement Made in
Nebraska Concerning the DEM
ocratic Candidate.

Washington, June 1.-THE an
nouncement just made in Nebraska
that William J. Bryan would be a
candidate for United States senator
next year, has caused considerable in
terest to be shown in the subject here.
Mr.. Bryan is either idolized or hated
politically among the national law
makers. Immediately after the elec-
tion last fall, it was understood that
he would make the race, but later it
became understood also that he had
given up the idea.
The Nebraska Legislature adopted
the Oregon Sensational pri-
mary, and election plan. last winter
at Mr.. Bryan'S request. Under this
each party will nominate its own can
didate for the Senate, and at the elec-
ton in November, 1910, the entire
electorate will vote for Senator. The
candidates for the Legislature will
have the option Of declaring their
willingness to support, in the As
sembly the popular choice, or their
purpose to ignore that choice and
vote as they please.
Mr.. Bryan's opponent, as matters
now stand, is likely to be Senator
Elmer Jacob Burkett, but the poll
tical situation in Nebraska is pc
culiar. The liquor question over
shadows all others at present. Mr..
Bryan few days ago came out with
the declaration that he expected to
take an active part in the campaign
in favor of suppression Of the liquor
traffic.
This will become a big issue in this
campaign. Senator Burkett, like Bry-
an. is a total abstainer, and has al
ways linedup with the anti-saloon ele-
ment. It is therefore surmised. that
the liquor interests will make fight
in the Republican primary, in an eff
fort to nominate as the Republican
candidate some other man than Bli' IL
EFT more friendly to the saloon cause.
If they succeed in beating Burkett
with q liquor man they vii. the. back
this Republican VIGOROUSLY ii tie gen
eral election. md in :nch u campaign
a GREAT deal T. mpn:y likely world
be spent.
If BRYAN comes to the Senate he
Twill stand in much the same rela-
tions to the Democrats in the upper
chamber that LaFollette occupied to-
ward the Republicans when he came
here. His efforts will be to preach
the gospel to a new Democracy and
to force his views on his party follow
ers.
If they decline to accept his lead
ership they will be called upon to
answer to their constituents for that
refusal, and Bryan's popular strength
it is declared might easily cause the
retirement of various Senators, who
have not been willing to accept his
leadership. The prospective appear
ance of Bryan in the Senate in short
makes a good many Democratic Sen
ators uneasy about their own status
but it is long run to the wirs, and
to defeat Burkett will be no small
undertaking.
