5 "Wheneyer you are ready" said
Annette duly.
The next morning found her down at
the bluff once more For the first time
In her joyous life she could see no
beauty in the sky or sea. In the song
of birds or the caress Of the west wind.
Down at the landing her little boat,
Billy Boy. rocked with the tide. and she
was tempted to go forth and be alone.
: When the Billy Boy had nosed q way
out of the harbor and the stretch OF
blue water lay before her Annette
laid course for the sandy shoal which
would be uncovered by the time she
reached 1T. Bitter thoughts came and
-stung her heart to beating madly. and
as she neared the sand strip she found
herself hating Billy Slater with ha-
tired that was dangerously near an
other sentiment.
Once on the sand she pulled the bow
Of the Billy Boy above the tapping tide.
and, pulling out knife from locker.
she laboriously scraped the name OF
the boat from the bow. She finished
the job with handkerchief dipped in
wet sand and scrubbed viciously until
the letters forming Billy Boy were en-.
tirely obliterated.
The name was also lettered on the
stern. but that was task that she
must leave to Peterson. the man OF all
work. when she arrived home. She
knew that a change Of name must be
explained to her family. and she could
hear the chorus of protest, for it is
most unlucky to change the name Of
craft.
A boats keel grated on the sand be-
side her. and she sprang to her feet
to confront Billy Slater. looking abom-
inably well; yet if she had looked close
| ~ she would have noted the old anx-
ious expression clouding his eyes.

81 thought perhaps you'd rather call
yours the Ellie" flashed Annette. and
then she could have bitten her tongue
SO angry was she at her own folly.
There was an, uncomfortable silence.
Then the sand crushed under slowly
approaching footsteps. Nearer, near,
er they, came until Billy's arms closed
around Annette's slender form.
"Do you hate me. Annette? he
breathed in her ear.
YES" she said half sObbing.
"Why?" asked Billy softly.

Annette with a fash Of her old Spirit.

stared unseeing ahead. All he was
conscious Of was the sinking pain at
his heart that was intensified by An
nette's Indifference to him. When she
spoke he answered with an effort ant
at last managed to keep bis boat be-
yond speaking distance
So Indifferent was he to the outcome
of the race that he allowed the girl to
beat him by a quarter of mile. and
by the time he reached the landing she
was halfway up the long fight Of steps
that led to the houses on the bluff.
The next morning Billy Slater went to
the White mountains for several weeks
and in the round of gayety at the big
hotels tried to forget all about Annette
Fiske. and in measure he succeeded.
In the meantime Annette sailed the
seas alone or with uncongenial COM
panions, and she nursed bitter re-
sentiment toward Billy. Slater because
he had ended their. pleasant summer
sports. After awhile she neglected the
motorboat because somehow 1t remind
ed her strongly OF Billy and made her
feel exceedingly uncomfortable. Ii
Billy had only been content to accept
her refusal in friendly spirit and let
their old relations continue they might
have had the best sort of summer!
AS it was she was quite wretched even
with other admirers lowering near.
Something was lacking. but she would
not admit that 1t was Billy she prefer
red.
1t was Maud Losing who shattered
her self esteem with one innocently
dealt blow. She had met Maud In
town one hot day. and they had lunch
ed together.

yours, Annette?" asked Maud.
Their place at the bluff Is next to
ours" replied Annette indifferently.

up at the Defile House last month. and
he was the most popular man there. II

The color left Annette's cheeks, and

When the table stopped whirline
around and around she would ask
Maud who the girl was. After awhile
she heard her voice-was that timic
voice her own?

ANNETTE'S
REFUSAL
She Did Not Know Her
Own Mind
By cLARISSA MACKlE

Billy Slater chose a most inopportune
moment in which to propose marriage
to Annette Fiske. Their motorboats
had been racing side by side over a
summer sea swept by a fresh south
west wind.
Together they reached the goal, a
strip of sand laid bare by the falling
tide At high water it would become
a dangerous shoal. Billy dragged the
boats up on the sand, anchored them
to make their safety a sure thing and
sat down beside Annette on the top
most ridge of sand, which the sun had
speedily dried.
Annette's dark blue eyes took In the
scene with never failing contentment
In their depths. She loved the blue
waters of the sound. the broken. high
bluffed coast line. the distant view OF
Nesting villages, the fresh salt smell
of the air, and the fact that Billy Sla-
ter was looking at her with alteration
in his brown eyes did not detract from
her enjoyment in the scene.
She was accustomed to having Billy
adore her. Indeed, she would have
missed his worship had he failed in
his allegiance to her. But she knew 1t
could not last forever, because some
day Billy was going to propose to her,
and then their friendliness would cease,
for of course she was not going to mar,
ry him, for she did not love him.
Girls didn't fall in love with the boys
they had played with from babyhood,
and as the Slater and Fiske homes had
always been side by side both in town
and country there wasn't the slightest
chance of Annette's accepting Billy
Slater, as you may see.
Nevertheless Billy, whose lips had
been trembling to tell his tale of love
these many mont hs past, gained cour.

He mad been held upon technical
charge of vagrancy.
A crowd OF 1900 persons witnessed
the release of Rose, WALTON and Web
Der from the West Side prison. Rose
left in one automobile, and Weber.
accompanied by his wife, was whlried
away in another. WALTON slipped out by
a side entrance, mingled with the
crowd and disappeared unrecognized
except by few.
When Rose was asked If he was
frightened and if he would flee, he
replied: II shall be at my lawyers
office every morning at 10 o'clock, and

Hot Springs, failed to pay $40 week

will be enacted when Justice Golf pro

THE MISTAKE OF TALKING
DOWN TO A BOY OR GIRL

David Grayson, writing one Of his
new Adventures in Contentment,
in the December American Magazine
says:
Il keep learning that there is no
thing which reaches mems hearts
like talking straight out the convic-
tons and emotions of your inner
most soul. hose who hear you may
not agree with you, or they may not
understand you fully, but something
incalculable, something vital, passes.
And as for a boy or girl it is one Of
the sorriest of mistakes to talk down
to them; for almost always your lad
of fifteen thinks more simply, more
fundamentally, than you do; and
what he accpets as good coin is not
facts or precepts, but feelings and
convictions-life. And Lord! why
should not we speak out?"

THE AVERAGE BAD WOMAN

In the December American Maya
zine Ida M. Tarbell in an arti lie en-
titled Good Will to Woman" re-
ports the work being done at the
New York State Reformatory for
Women at Bedford. Following is an
extract showing what the average
type of the Bedford girl is:
The average type of that materi-
al-that is, a species of composite
Bedford girls easily arrived at
from set of statistics, which was
made up after the institution had re-
ceived its one thousandth case,
which happened in November, 1909.
According to this record the girl is
young, under twenty-one; that is,
she is just about the age of the girl
entering one of our higher institu-
tions Of learning. She is not materi-
ally less in stature or weight. Her
blood is less purely American; in
deed, it is nearly thirty per cent Cor
eign born, and eighteen per cent col.
ored. She has little education. IShe
has no expert training. Nearly } alf
of her working life has been spent
in unskilled housework. She has usu-
ally a queer streak; she is the vic
tim of moods. She must be watched
for hysterical tendencies. She
smokes cigarettes, drinks Freely, aud
is tainted by diseases of the streets.
Almost always her life has been ir-
regular sexually."
