Meanwhile Captain Cy was to retain

But the courts action. expected

blue and downcast. He could see no

hope. He felt certain that he should
lose the little girl in the end In spite
OF the long succession OF appeals
which his lawyer contemplated. And
what would become of her then? Who
would her associates be under the au-
thority OF father such as hers?
Phoebe Dawes had come to be his
chief reliance. He saw great deal
OF her. Often when she walked home
from school she found him hanging
over the front gate. aud they talked OF
various things-of Bos'n's progress
with her studies, OF the school work
and similar topics. He called her by
her first name now, although in this
there was nothing unusual. After a
few weeks acquaintance We Bayport-
ers almost invariably address people
by their front names. Sometimes
she came to the house with Emily.
Phoebe was In good spirits. She was
as hopeful as Captain Cy was despond-
ent. She seemed to have little fear
Of the outcome of the legal proceed
ings. the appeals and the rest. Her
optimism was the best sort of bracer
for the captains failing courage.
One cold, rainy afternoon early in
February she came in with Bos'n. who
had availed herself Of the shelter of
the teachers umbrella. Georgianna
was in the kitchen baking, and Emily
had been promised saucer pie" So
the child went out to superintend the
construction of that treat.

Cy. What's the news-anythingP

of the proposed amendments OF the
state primary law The Tribune does
not believe that the legislature vii! make
any vital changes i'll the present system
of nominations OF candidates for office
Notwithstanding the apparent defects
and weaknesses of the present system.
the people are pretty thoroughly COM
mitted to the direct primary nominations
and the Legislature will hardly make
substantial changes in the system A
good many amendments will doubtless
be offered as to matters of detail The
recent decision of the supreme court
holding the thirty per cent clause of
EI1e law unconstitutional brings an i'm
.tant matter to the attention of the
oture. That clause, as we under
