wind was growing alarmingly light
Gilmore pulled rapidly toward shore.
Don't go out much further, Bob" he
called back, unless you want to row
home"
He thought they seemed trife
more sociable than they had been at
first, and also noticed that the sails
were only half filled with wind. He
laughed softly as he tied his boat to
the pier
Lee has his chance now" he re.
marked exultantly. He told me he
would ask Eleanor to marry him if he
was given good opportunity, and
fancy this interview ought to fix mat
ters." Whistling joyously the arch
plotter started on a run for the hotel
to change his wet garments. Half an
hour later he joined Miss Russells
aunt and chaperon, Mrs. Minturn, on
the pier.
Il thought Eleanor went sailing with
you," observed that lady as he aD-
preached.
$50 she did," replied Gilmore, but
fate interviewed and Prof. Lee took my
place" He narrated the incidents OF
the trip and Mrs. Minturn smiled gra.
ciously. The professor was rather a
favorite of hers.
Perhaps you can make out whether
that is their boat out yonder," she
said, handing him spyglass. my
eyes are so wretchedly weak that
can only see short distance"
Gilmore peered through the glass at
white sail in the offlng, smiled and
closed it after a short scrutiny. He
had noticed that the heads of the two
occupants were very close together
and drew certain triumphant deduc-
tions therefrom.
Its Eleanor and Lee all right" he
said, "but don't believe they'll be in
for good while yet. The wind has
failed dead and Lee will probably
have to use his oars unless the breeze
springs up again. Suppose we walk
up to the hotel; it's nearly supper
time"
Mrs. Minturn nodded assent and
they retraced their steps. On Elmore's
face there lurked furtive grin-the
grin of one who has played winning
game with fortune.

The afternoon was extremely warm.
even for the middle of June, month of
roses. Occasionally a team ratified
along the bluff, and the hoarse call of
steamer whistle echoed across the
water. The white sails of many
schooners, sloops and small boats of
every sort dotted the sound.
About mile from shore a little
yacht was beating close up into the
wind. Jack Gilmore sat in the stern,
with one hand on the tiller and the
other braced behind him, his duck
trousers shining in the sunlight and
his blue tennis shirt setting of a
tanned, good-looking face and muscu-
lar brown hands. He seemed almost
to have forgotten the girl opposite
him. But she did not resent his appar-
ent Indifference and was looking out
over the water. evidently every bit as
contented as her companion.
THE wird is dying away" he said.
We'll make one more tack out toward
the reef and then go in. l don't feel
like sculling this craft home
Eleanor looked over at him. This
is your last sail, isn't it," she queried.
I'm sorry you have to go back to the
city tomorrow. You are good COM
pany, Jack, though we always disagree
SO, and shall miss you awfully." FL
more looked up, or rather down, from
his vantage point.
Miss me? Oh, guess not. There
are plenty of men here" he said with
a smile.
"And I adore them ALL suppose"
she responded, dragging her hand
through the water.
We'll. there's Emerson, the lawyer"
he suggested.

temptation of his own cleverness and
thinks he is going to be great man

Is welcome to be. I'm sure l can't
bear him."
How about the muscular collegian,
Beaumont" he persisted.
Who tries to write poetry and tells
us twenty times a day how near he
came to getting on the football team
last season." Eleanor responded dis
painfully. Il don't admire your selec-
tions, Jack"
Il only mention one more" said FL
more, your friend the professor"
The girl colored. oh, you mean Mr..
Lee" she rejoined rather hurriedly.
Elmore was gazing at her intently.
He might be bearable Tiff he wasn't
SO frightfully bashful You think a
great deal of him, don't your"
We'll, rather. Lee was great
chum of mine in college and is much
finer fellow than you seem willing to
admit" returned her companion.
Elmore turned the yachts bow to-
ward the shore. A hundred yards away
a rowboat was gliding over the waves.
Its occupant was tall, stalwart young
man who managed his oars slxillfully.
There goes Lee now" Gilmore ex-
claimed. He looks as if he had had
a long pull. If / take him on board
you will try not to eat him up, Flea
nor, won't your"
Eleanor laughed. She looked any
thing but cannibal. So they hailed
the oarsman and Lees skin was soon
bobbing along behind the larger boat.
while the new arrival sat perched on
the side of the yacht, carrying on a
rather desultory conversation with
Eleanor. They were nearing the pier
now. and the wind freshened little,
but Elmore's experienced eye could
see that it was only dying gasp
Nevertheless he swung the boat SLOW
ly around and started out toward the
reef once more.
Take the tiller a moment, Bob"
said Elmore when they were about a
mile from shore. Il want to FIX that
foremost spirit"
Ice took Elmore's place and the lat
ter scrambled forward to the bow,
where the sails hid him from view
Suddenly a splash was heard. It is a
very simple thing to fall overheard
when you want to-and can swim
well. Jack found no trouble doing it
quite naturally. Eleanor and Lee
laughed unsuspectingly as Elmore's
shining head appeared above the sur
face several yards astern. He climbed
into Lees boat and sat there drip
pins.
you poor, clumsy fellow" cried the
girl. Sit still and Wen tow you in"
But Gilmore objected; he wanted to
row in. he said, to keep from catching
cold, and at last Lee united the row.

BURN BEHIND IRON BARS.
Eight Workers i'm Comb Factory IL

men probably were fatally injured in
making their escape from the build

of the plant, lost his life in the flames
while trying to reach the safe and

the injured.
Luckily there We're only forty en-
ployees in the factory when the fire
started for the spread of the flames
was rapid in the inflammable comb
material. Many men jumped from the
third floor windows and were injured.
Those who rushed to the rear found
the windows barred and there met
their doom. Nearly all of the victims
were italians.
