Ames did not turn to look after her.
A recently returned betrothal ring
forbade active interest.
After an adequate interval OF wait
ing he strolled toward the other
beach. When he raised moody eyes
from the pebble he was kicking lazily
they encountered a white figure sill
houetted against the blue. Far out
on the water a canoe rocked provok-

Her smile was icily sweet when

come for me-"
Under the goad of Hammond's
name tit had decorated Miss Vests

night he became vehement.

81 am going back with whom I
please-or stay here Indefinitely"
was the decided answer.
She looked so small and dainty, to
be cared for tenderly instead of hurI-
ing defiance, Ames smiled sadly. But
the returned ring also forbade pro-
longed contention. He bowed grave
~ and left her.
The tide was coming in. Mild
whitecaps on the bay attested this.
But 1t seemed marvellous that any
trick Of the tide could have brought
a canoe to the right about in such a
short time. Then came acute realiza-
ton. 1t was his canoe.
A quick solution of this problem
was necessary. The shore was beyond
swimming distance. Only he and Trix
West frequented this tiny strip of sun
swept land, cast up by an ocean vol
cano In idle sport. It would be cold
when the September sun had van
ished. Her gown was summer white,
the waist fllmy. Ruefully he reflected
that thin serge coat afforded little
protection against chilling breezes.
Consultation being imperative, ne

There is no time for quibbling. We

answer. But she shivered slightly
and he knew that she was troubled.
"You must take my coat" he said
gently placing 1t about her shoulders
It was shaken of impatiently.

Katherine's mother saw her laborious-

Iorimer's eager smile brought
lump TO Hopes throat and then Pc
cuilar gladness TO her heart
IF you only would" he cried quick
ly. 1T would be ideai-for me" He
called out TO his nurse. who he saw
passing along the corridor. -oh. Miss
Lane, How soon could manage 10
get into the country
The nurse smiled and made his
plans for him Lorimer was happier
than he had been since Clarice Nc
Clure refused to love him
II was on Good Friday and they
took him out TO the little farm on
Long Island and he limped. on his
new clutches. to the big chair on the
veranda. Hope and her mother had
come from the long glass house
through which the white heads OF
lilies looked like little ghosts. Hopes
hair was a riot Of tawny gold and her
eyes were as gray a. the mountains
Mrs. Carter greeted Lorimer and then
went quickly into the tiny cottage for
the egg-nog she had prepared for his
coming.

very near It." He looked contentedly
up at Hope and saw her smile down
into his eyes. VERY near" he re-
peated.
But am going to make you work"
laughed Hope quickly. do you see
that basket of eggs and all those funny
little papers? l am going to put you to
work as soon as you are rested-each
egg must have one Of those transfer
pictures on 1t. Do you think you can
do that?"
Mrs. Carter came out again with q
long. foaming glass of egg-nog and
waited until Lorimer had taken It.
II feel as II / could do anything
now" he said by way Of thanking
Mrs. Carter and answering Hopes
question In one.
Il must go IN now and practice my
song for Easter Sunday" Hope said
shyly. They have asked me to sing
in the village choir" She cast q
laughing glance at Lorimer. 1T will
be almost as bad as being in a coun-
try boarding house to have to listen
to me singing Easter hymns to the
wheeze Of our organ"
She tripped happily indoors and
soon Lorimer heard a sweet, clear
volume of tone coming out through
the lattice windows.
He smiled with utmost contentme emit
and was scarcely aware that he spoke
aloud or that Mrs. Carriers eyes were
watching him with motherly approval
Songs Of praise, then let us sing"
he repeated after the voice Of Hope.
He turned to Mrs. Carter and the
smile that made women adore him
was in his eyes. you are going to

Every muscle tense. the girl raced
10 the edge of the encroaching waves
Then the reason OF this apparent
madness came like q binding flash.
The waters were coming TO claim

Aeons, apparently, she stood strain

sunset, while a determined swimmer

an ardent cheer rose to her lips.
Closer came the crawling death. but
that was not in her mind. How pretty,
how trifiing. was the slight misun-
derstanding that doomed SO large an
hour ago.
The breeze had freshened so much
1t was not possible for Ames, ex-
pert canoe1st that he was, to gain the
dry interior OF his rocking captive.
But fortune favored-now he was
swimming with the tide. When he

his coat with gay encouragement. She
was standing beside the lone tree the
island boasted. The waters had risen
perilousiy far. Ames forced strength
into his waning stroke.
Eager hands met his, and together,
without loss Of time or words, they
rushed the canoe to the other shore
, where they would not have to fight
the tide. The tiny tree was all atoam
"Splendidly done, Bob"
Her voice was full Of courage. Not
trace of the tears Ames had feared
to see dimmed her eyes.
The next few moments marked des
perate effort. Some fiend seemed to
be struggling to draw the frail canoe
back to destruction. But it fought
with youth and youths ardent desire
to live. AS the small craft sped out
beyond the danger line, the rose glory
of dying sun touched sea and sky.
Look" cried the girl suddenly
"Our island! The island we loved!
It is gone!"
Ames turned the canoe a trifie anC

showed bravely above the wash oil

Somehow the fact that her eyes were

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Feb. 2S.--Less favorable news from the English labor situation caused scattering liquidation by some of yesterdays buyers in the cotton market today but failed to stimulate aggressive offerings, and business was very quiet with the close steady at a aet decline of from to points
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of points on February, but generally l to points lower, and active months sold about to points under the closing figures of last night during the early trading in re- spcnse to disappointing cables and reports that prospects were less ia vorable for avoiding general strike of British coal miners.
 Latest estimates places yesterdays March notices at nearer 10000 than 10000 bales, and it is supposed that the local stock is now practically concentrated in the hands of the big spot interests.
 Receipts today, 51 .3SO bales, against 30,1S2 last week, and 1O,3S2 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans, H. S71, against none last year; at Hous- ton, S.790 against 2.514 last year, and at Galveston, 1O.2O3 against 5,Ss1 last year.
