to do"
It was rather dangerous theory,
thought, although as / looked AZ Mr.
Graham's ruddy face and heard MS
careless laugh / quite understood that
he would generally live up to what he
said. And l had quick recollection,
too, OF the package Elizabeth had
opened; was that caused by a sudden
impulse, l wondered, and had he ex'
tracted his full measure OF satisfaction
out of it?
Lord Wilfrid was waiting on the
dock when we landed, his cap pulled
down over his eyes and his manner
the reverse Of cordial.
II have looked everywhere for you,
Edith" he said. "You did not tell me
you expected to go sailing. Did you
make up your party this morning."
He looked at Gordon Bennett as he
spoke, and paused for reply.
1T was quite unprecedented" said
that gentleman. 'In fact, your sister
and Mr.. Graham we're kind enough to
pick us up good bit down the beach
and give US a lift home"
"Was any one else with your

am sorry if you have needed me, but
thought you intended fishing this after
noon"
She looked steadily at him, and he
lowered his eyes instinctively. But
his face, as he watched Mr.. Graham
push off and sail away, was heavy and
lowering, and his fingers twitched
nervously.
Listen" I said. "Mr. Graham ID
singing again"
He was standing by his sail now, the
light Of the sun full upon him, appar.
emily unconscious of the picture he
made.
''And I will love you still, my dear,
When all the seas run dry"
The words OF the old song died
away, and turned to my companions
LET us go home" said; but Lady
Edith and her brother had already
gone.

ham, dislike salt air and object to the
constant intrusion OF the ocean, this
narrative will not interest them.
Looking back upon 1t now, 1t seems
to me that everything we did that
summer, indeed. almost everything
we thought and said, was in some
way connected with the sea. And per-
haps this is not SO strange after all,
since we looked out upon it from every
window and its murmur was never
absent from our ears.
1t was Gabrielle who originated the
plan of supper on the rocks. Gabri-
ellie was great in originating, but we
used to tell her she liked to watch
other people carry out her IDEAS She
sat IN Tie hammock and urged her
project, while her hair blew about her
ears and her book slipped unnoticed
from her lap.

Mr.. Blake of course"
"And the Grahams," l added.
III you like" the tone was not en-
thusiastic. II must say she gets on
my nerves; she is 80 mysterious"
Gabrielle dislikes secrets unless she
happens to be party to them. She
now returned to the subject with re-
newed vigor.
1T Is full moon, you know. Think of
the water dashing over the rocks, and
the fire we'll make out of driftwood."

Anne to put some things in baskets.
In fact" Gabrielle paused moment
before breaking the news, Il have al

the village when went for the mail.
and 1t suddenly occurred to me it
would be nice to do this tonight"
OF course after this startling dis.
closure 1t was impossible to demur
further, and Elizabeth rose to the &C.
casion.

YES" said Lady Edith; do sing

So Mr.. Graham sang again, and we
listened entranced. for his voice was
very melodious, and he sang as the
birds do. with no apparent effort or
consciousness of his charm. Lady

Opinion

1t was stated yesterday that no de-
cision in the fight of residents of the
territory surrounding Hollywood to get
lower water rates from the Union Hol-
lywood Water company would be given
by the board of supervisors until case
now pending in the supreme court, and
in which water rates in Oakland are
involved, is decided.
After the investigation before the SUI
pervisors ten days ago ended the mat
ter was placed in the hands of Hartley
Shaw, chief deputy district attorney
with a request for his opinion.
"A case almost identical with the one
under consideration here, and in which
citizens of Oakland protested against
alleged excessive water rates, is in the
supreme court on appeal" said Mr.
Shaw yesterday. Il understand the
opinion of the higher court is in course
of preparation, and may be looked for
any day. AS similar issues are in
volved, l believe it would be the best
policy to await the courts decision
which may have material bearing on
the case here
