"A few OF tNS boys got cold feet"
remarked Aid. Owen, after the meet
ing, and Aid. Vernon, who took an &C.
tive part In the preparation OF tho
amendment, smiled wisely.
1T would have been a sorry blow
II this measure had to go to the peo-
ple with the council divided on It,
said Aid. Vernon. THAT IL one OF the
best arguments with the people In
favor Of the measure, the fact that
the mayor and the common council
are unanimously in favor OF the
measure. With a split vote on 1t, the
people would be suspicious"
Other amendments to the bill pro-
vide for q sinking fund to retire onIv
the mortgage bonds issued on the
security franchise at their maturity,
the commissioners being given author
ity to pay of the general bonds AT
their discretion. The idea Is not to
make payments SO heavy that three
cent fares will be impossible at the
start. An interest limit Of AZ per
cent on all bonds is provided for.
Special Counsel Frazer told the al
dermen that he and his associates
had not been given enough time to
properly study and discuss the legal
ity and policy OF the measure.
THE present draft Is the best
thought 80 far on the subject" he
said. 1.-THE people should now have
a chance to consider the measure. III
any serious and reasonable objections
are made we can take the amendment
of the table and correct 1t. OF course
we would like to vote on municipal
ownership at the spring election, but
we want TO be sure the measure Is
right first"
II the amendment remains undis'
turbed on the council table f7r Ia
days, the next heating OF the com.
mon council to consider the municipal
ownership amendment will be on Fri
day, March %. II II is then adopted
by the council. the amendment along
with others, providing for civil ser
vice, Increase Of city bonding limit
and the water board bonding limit
will be sent tt, the governor for his
signature. Then the amendments
must be advertised for seven days
allowing the council just enough time
TO comply with all the provisions OF
the law, and place the amendments
on the spring election ballot, thereby
saving the expense Of a special cleo

She glanced at him quickly. His
eyes met hers with a look of uncon-

abruptly.
"On occasions"
And when you are not one-what

"At times-a hunter"

yet not quite strange; she had seen
him before, but. In the general sur
prise and perplexity of the moment,
did not ask herself where. The inter
val between what she last remem-
bered on the beach-the rush and
swirl of water--and what she woke to,
absorbed the hazy workings of her
mind.
The young man stopped; stirred the
fire, and after a pause, apparently to
give her time to collect her thoughts,
repeated his question: Are you bet
ter, now?''
"Oh, yes" she said, with an effort,
half sitting up. And then irrelevantly,
with rather a wild glance about her:
"lsn't-isn't 1t storming outsider

long speed now showed signs of d.

sand less vigorously, and looked
around at his mistress with wild, I'M
easy eyes. Again she spoke to him;
pulled with all her strength at the
reins, and, at once, he stopped,
None too soonl Great drops of rain
had begun to fall, but the girl did not
notice them. The white line alone
riveted her attention! 1t seemed to
grow broader; to acquire an intangible
movement of its own; at the same
time to give out sound-a strange,
low droning that filled the air. Heard
for the first time, stranger at the
Mount would have found it inexplic-
able; to the Governors daughter, the
menacing cadence left no room for
doubt as to its origin.
The girls cheek paled; her gaze
swung in the opposite direction, to-
ward the point of land, now so dis
tant Could they reach it? She did
not believe they could; indeed, the
grand tide coming up behind on the
vel &c VI ln6 blOilll3 laSbNt lhdh any
horse could gallop, would overtake
them midway. And Saladin seemed
to know it also; beneath her. he
trembled. Yet must they try, she
thought, and had frightened the reins
to turn, when looking ahead once
more, she discerned a break in the
forbidding cliffs of the little island Of
Casque, and, back of the assure, g
shining spot which marked a tiny
cove.
A moment she hesitated; what
should she do? Ride toward the isle
and the white danger, or toward the
point of mainland and from it.?
Either alternative was a desperate
one, but the isle lay much nearer; and
quickly, the brown eyes cleaning with
sudden courage, she decided; touched
her horse and pressed him forward.
But fast as she went the grand"
tide came faster; struck with loud,
menacing sound the seward side of
the isle and swung hungrily around.
My lady cast over her shoulder a
quick glance; the cove, however, was
near; only line of small rocks, jut-
ting from the sand, separated her
from It. If they could but pass, she
thought; they had passed. she told
herself joyfully, when of a sudden the
horse stumbled; fell. Thrown violent
ly from his back, a moment was she
cognizant of deafening roar; a riot

then all these sounds mingled; dark
ness succeeded, and she remembered
no more.

to be conscious of a gentle languor;

AS she gazed before her, something

from the chickering's, her glance quick

sat, propped against a stone.
But why7 The spot was strange; in
her ears sounded a buzzing, like the
murmur of a waterfall She remem-
bered now; she had fingered before
one-in the woods; and Saladin had
run away, madly, across the sands,
until-my lady raised her hand to
her brow; abruptly let it fall. In the
shadow on the other side of the hearth
some one moved some one who had
been watching her and who now
stepped out into the light
Are you better?" said a voice
She stared. On the bold, swarthy
features of a young man now standing
and looking down at her, the light
fared and cleaned; the open shirt re-

would dare, and you did"
About to reply, she became once
more aware she was still very dizzy
from the fall on the sand; the shapely
figure swayed and she put out her
hand with a gesture of helplessness.
At the same time. the man reached
forward quickly and caught her. A
moment was she conscious of a firm
grasp dark, anxious gaze bent upon
her; then, slid gently back to the
stone seat.
A brief interval, and gradually she
began to see again more distinctly
mans face, not far from hers; face
that drew back as her own look
cleared. At respectful c,stancs he

why did you do that?" she asked
angrily.

man, bow1ng hideously. They are to
see no one
Then let them up at once! Do
you hear? At oncel"
And as he began to unlock the door,
walked off. After that, her interest
in the rock waned; the Mount seemed
but prison; she, herself, desired
only to escape from it.
Have my saddle put on Saladin,"
she said TO Beppo the next day,
toward the end of a long afternoon.
Every well, my lady. Who accom-
panies your ladyship?"
'No onel" With slight emphasis.

Beppo discreetly suppressed his sur
prise rs your ladyship going far?
If so, beg to remind that tonight is

Il was already aware of it, and shall

shore. Have my horse sent to the up

ward rode down.
The town was astir, and many
looked after her as she passed; not
kindly, but with the varying express
sions she had of late begun to notice.
Again was she cognizant of that feel
ing Of secret antagonism, even from
these people whose houses chung to
the very foundations of her own
abode, and her lips set tightly. Why
did they hate her? What right had
they to hate her? A sensation, al
most of relief, came over her, when
passing through the massive, feudal
gate, she found herself on the beach.
Still and languorous was the day;
not a breath stirred above the tiny
ripples of the sand; a calm, almost
unnatural, seemed to wrap the world
in its embrace. The girl breathed
deeper, feeling the closeness of the
air; her Impatient eyes looked
