 Don't go out much further, Bob," he called back, unless you want to row | home"
 He thought they seemed a 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 l fancy this interview ought to fix mat ters.' Whistling joyously the arch | plotter started on 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.
 T thought Eleanor went sailing with 1 you" observed that lady as he ap, preached
 So she did" replied Elmore, bat fate intervened and Prof. Lee took Hsy ! place" He narrated the incidents of the trip and Mrs. Minturn smiled gra- ciously. The professor was rather l favorite of hers.

My eyes are so wretcbedly weak that can only see a short distance" Elmore peered through the glass at a white sail in the offing, smiled and closed it after 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 1 don't believe they'll be in ! for a 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 retraeed their steps. On Elmores face there lurked furtiye grin-the grin of enc who has played a winning game with fortune

The afternoon was extremely warm, even for the middle of June. month o1 roses. Occasionally a team rattled along the bluff, and the hoarse call Of a steamer whistle echoed across the water. The white sails of many schooners, sloops and small boats of every sort dotted the sound.
 About a mile from shore little yacht was beating close up into the wind. Jack Elmore 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 off 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 wind is dying away he said. We'll make one more tack out toward the reef and then go in. don't feel like sculling this craft home.
 Eleanor looked over at him. This is your last sail. isn't ." 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 I shall miss you aWfully.' FL more looked up, or rather down, from his vantage point.
 "MiSS mo- Oh I rInsS not There are plenty of men here" he said with smile.
 And I adore them all, suppose?" she responded, dragging her hand through the water.
 Well, there's Emerson, the lawyer, he suggested.

My Dearest Mamma: We are en route, We left Paris at the cheerful hour Of a. n. yesterday morning. No one was up. and there was another train at half-past nine, but uncle said that. considering the work that lay before us, Re had better not begin by dawdling. l do think there Is happy medium between rising at five and ~daWdlinR. but of course l didn't tell him SO
 Edna sat up in bed and kissed me good-by She and Mrs. Clary looked upon me as q cross between the saver of the situation, and burnt offering on unele's altar: but they were all happy. and I didn't eare-much.
 Uncle mapped out the route, and. as a result. We got down at Chartres about half-past nine He put the bag gage in eonsigne. and then looked about with the air of charger who snffs the battle afar I stood beside him, feeling like Mazeppa just before they let the horse loose
 The outlook from the station is not very attractive. and the first thing that uncle said was that he didn't be- lieve it was worth while stopping at all, and that he had a good mind to go on with the train: but just at that instant the train went on by itself. so we did not need to discuss the subject
 We walked straight to the cathe- dral. and It was so big that uncle thought We had better each take one side and meet behind 50 as to save time and not miss anything" I ac- quiesced. because I mean to keep him goodtempered. if keeping good-tem- pered myself and acquiescing will do so.

 How about the muscular eollegian, Beaumont" lie 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 dainfully. T don't admire your selec- tions, Jack
 T only mention one more. said FL more your friend the professor"
 The girl colored Oh. you mean Mir. 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 you 99
 Well, rather. Lee was a great chum of mine in college and is a much finer fellow than you seem willing to admit" returned her companion
 EImore turned the yachts bow to- ward the shore 4 hundred yards away rowboat was gliding over the waves. It's occupant was a tall. stalwart young man who managed his oars slilIfully.
 There goes Lee now" Elmore ex. claimed. He looks as if he had had long pull If | take him on board you will try not to eat him up, Flea nor, won't you?a
 Eleanor laughed She looked any thing but a cannibal. So they hailed the oarsman and Lees skif was soon bobbing along behind the larger Goat. while the new arrival sat perched on the side of the yacht, carrying on a rather desuitOry conversation with Eleanor They were nearing the pie. now. and the wind freshened a little but Elmore $ experienced eye could see that it was only a dying gasp. Nevertheless he swung the boat slow ly around and started out toward the reef once more.
 Take the tiller moment, Bob, Y" said Elmorc when they were about q mile from shore. T want to fix that foremost Sprit
 Lee took EImore'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 we'll Jack found no trouble doing it quite naturally Eleanor and Lee laughed unsuspectingly as Elmore' s shining head appeared above the sur taee several yards astern. He climbed Into Lees boat and sat :here drip ping.

 But Elmore objected; he wanted to row in he said To keep from catching cold. and at last Lee united the row.

I asked for cheap one but the woman was quite indignant and said that she did not keep any cheap umbrellas-tha the lowest she had was two frances-40 cents.

Meakle who has a place of business on Twen- ty-second street and Avenue C. and l.. Rothanbach who runs a boarding house on Twentyfourth street and Avenue C, were the persons arrested. They will be given a hearing tomorrow. These arrests show the activity of the police in running down alleged violators of the anti saloon law as the many re- cent arrests will show. They have rare ly failed to convict those who have been arrested
