When I cot hack to Washington I In-
tend to make a fresh start I will toad

I left Kllssaheth to struggle with tho
blue tli 'ils which had got possession
of her alter t go. and wont up to tin
village.
I was glad 1 wont, for, heavy
though the atmosphere undoubtedly
wan, It soontod loss depressing than
unr pretty little rooms, and, In sides
I wanted to he alone. Ho I got tin j
mall, nnd wandered slowly buck along
looked wistfully toward It, but the fog
was so thick I could see nothing.
"I’m going down,” I remarked de-
cidedly, as though some one had ob-
jected.
I sat with my face turned toward
the ocean, so 1 did not see a figure
follow nte down the steps, cross the
slip, nnd stand directly behind me,
quite obscured by my umbrella, which
I held very loosely Indeed until a
sudden puff of wind almost wrenched
It away from me.
I clutched at the handle in an in-
competent sort of way, and tried to
lower if, since It was dlfllcult to hold
and I was already very wet, hut the
catch would not work, anil I strug-
gled vainly with It until n strong
brown hand quietly closed over mine
nnd I recognized the signet ring with
tho Itennett crest.
“Allow me." lie remarked, just ns
lie had said to (Jabrlelle when she was
llshlng for the eoinh.
I could only stare dumbly, all at
once acutely consdotis^if my draggled
appearance, lie lowered the umbrella
and calmly seated himself upon the
ledge beside me, raising Ills own as i
he did so.
"Tills,” he said, adjust lag It ill an
angle which Id cold wilier drip down

I wriggled ungratefully, ami tried to
assume a careless air.
“I'ln not milch shielded,” I replied,
“hut. then, I did not ask lo he.”
"Hut you wanted to?"
1 was pot prepared to answer his
question, so parried it lit another.
"Where did you come from?”
"From Ihe village. I saw you there,
and followed humbly in I lie rear, as a
culprit should. Ihit, on my soul, I
don't know what I've done, except
"Don't," I Interrupted; "1 do not

"Well, I won't. Mul you might ad

when n fellow wants to rest after his

"Wlmt Is vnur work?" I Inquired,

I suggested pointedly as he paused.
"Illake Is all very well In his place,"
he returned, shifting the umbrella to
down to our little slip I paused and | his left hand and feeling abstractedly
strangely heavy and a very auspicious
lump In my throat, which made me
thankful I was not obliged to talk to
anyone.
When I got to the steps leading

lota better, and I tblnk I've found my
heart's desire. 1 wunt you to see ber

“So you are going to be married?*
I scarcely recognized m.v own voice.
It sounded so strained and mechan-
ical.
"I truly hope so, but I have not ven-
tured to ask her yet. Will you look
at the picture ami tell me whether you
think she will be kind? You see, I'm
by no means curtain, and It Is very
vital to me."
"How can I tell?" 1 begun petulant-
ly, then paused abruptly, for it was
our picture he laid upon nty lap, the
one he had so shamelessly abstracted
from Gabriellu's shopping bag. Ho I
stared wide-eyed and speechless, with
u clutching at my heart I could not
understand. Was It Gubrlelle or
Elizabeth?
"The one in the middle,” he said,
gently. “Kllse—will she be kind?"
And then I realized he was not
speaking of some remote, shadowy
paragon of a girl, but of me—Just as
I was, In my old rain-coat and dripping
hat, I realized something else, too,
for when I looked up and met his eyes,
1 tried to speak, but could not, be-
cause my heart was too full. fiat
words were quite unnecessary, for we
were looking Into each other's eyes,
and of course we understood.
"And now," he remarked, some time
later, when we were back to earth, or
rather to water, by the fine soft -driz-
zle changing Into a brisk shower—
“and now you really must go in, or
you will have pneumonia, and then
what should I do? Hut first It's up to
me to return that side-comb. I said
I’d do It In my own way. you know,
so I'm going lo put It In myself."
"But not now. Think how wet and
horrid my hair must be.”
And then—well, I don't believe It Is
necessary for me to say any more.
Things which are very sweet and nat-
ural, and often form cherished mem-
ories, are apt to look very different In
cold hard print, and, moreover, what
would become of the little shrine we
erected for ourselves that rainy after-
noon if I took the world Into our con-
fidence and allowed It to be desecrated
by the critical outsider?
CHAPTER XVIII.
Mary Anne made us our farewell
fire that night, almost putting It out
with the tears she shed as she ar-
ranged the driftwood. For Mary Anne
was a veritable Nlobe these last days,
poor soul, and every spare moment
was given over to weeping. She was,
she told us as she struck the match,
going home to Knglund, where she
hoped she might die happy some day,
If only she could learn to forgot. She
could live on her savings, and If not,
work was always to be had when one
looked for It. And she hung lovingly
about us, too, with protestations of
affection and regret at all that had
happened.
"I looked out fur you," she said: "I
done what I could, fur I come to love
you all, and 'ow could I 'elp it? I
made 'em give back your ring. Miss
Elizabeth, which she took offen your
finger before you very h'eyes, miss,
when you was 'oldlng of 'er 'and on
the rocks in the moonlight. Oh, she
was clever, she was. Hut I made 'er
give it up. I went out that night, but
she was nway wl' 'Arry Graham and
I couldn't git It till next day. Which
It was my shudder and Willy's you
seen that night, Miss Ellse. He, 'alf
crazy, pore lad, because jest as soon
ns you was out of sight she up and
Jlned 'Arry Graham and went out on
the water wl’ 'ini. And them red
roses, Miss Gabrlelle—you seen 'ow it
was. And she alwlz 'ad ’em, alwiz.
'Arry Graham seen to that, and Willy
couldn't do nothing.”
Here she paused for breath.
"And 1 never, never drugged you
but the once,” she continued—“In the
chocolate, you know. I wouldn't do it
for neither of 'em, and very 'nrd they
thought td me for It, ton; but 'ow
could I go for to do it anil you trustin’
me, even when you 'card me and
Willy talkin' In the cellar? And I
brought you the tan myself that last
night, Miss Kllse, when she wanted to
give it to you 'crsclf and put a powder
in it lo send you to sleep; but I
wouldn't lei 'er. for all she was my
son's wife. Oh. Willy, Willy!"
We goi rid of her after awhile, and
M illed down for our Inst evening,
while tho lire burned with Ils green,
blue, lavender, nnd red lights, where-
in 1 now found wonderful pictures and
not so very remote either, nml Ihe
ocean rolled monotonously outside.
In the Mist long silence I told the
gills about ii glad that the lamp was
not lighted, nml glad also that the
tirellght did not shine upon my face.
Well, they were very, very nice, nnd
considerate enough lo ask but few
searching questions although they
have since told me they were con-
sumed with the desire to do so.
So the evening passed, and at last
we went unwillingly upstairs, careful
not to mention that it was our last
night in the little cottage, which, iu
spite of everything, we still loved.
I lax broad nxvake for it long time,
listening to the washing of the
waves ami thinking the thoughts that
come lo it gh l lint once In a lifetime,
when 1 beard a low voice from the
next room, ami knew the others were
wakeful also.
“Were you surprised. Kllznhoth?"
“Yes. | certainly was'' the em-
phasis In Elizabeth's tone left no
room for doubt "Somehow, 1 never
associated Kllse with marriage -or
men either, for that matter."
"Neither did I She'll never be the
same again, but oh. Elizabeth. If It
had been you, what should I have
done?"
"Ami I was just lying here thinking
| how dreit Mill It would have been If It
had happened to you. So Iona as we
have each other, nothing else mat-
ters
"No. nothing else matters. I hope
slie'll he very happy, but Kllse Is—
well, site s Kllse. and I can't help won-
| derlng how she Is going to like mar-
ried life."
And 1 wonder, too, for. after all, It
Is always like starting a very small
ship across a very broad ocean. But
I am not afraid of the voyage, for Gor-
don Is going with me, and we have
engaged a pilot whose name is
spelled with four letters; he Is war-
ranted to steer a safe course through
every sort of weather, and we both
be' eve lie will bring us safe Into port
at last.
THE END.
HE STARTS ON A TRAMP
We got across the ocean from Africa
alive, but Pa was a wreck. It is a
pretty tough proposition to have your
appendix removed In a hospital on
shore where everything is quiet, but to
have an operation performed on board
a ship that Is running 18 knots an
hour straight aheud. and rolling from
aide to side In a storm, and rearing
up on the hind feet one minute and
trying to Btand on its head the next,
Is mighty trying on a nervous man,
especially when the doctor Is a vet-
erinary surgeon with delirium tre-
mens, and the nurse Is In love with
a cowboy, and takes opium. But Pa
pulled through, though he thinks they
took out half the works that he wore
Inside his person, and he walks on one
side like he had run off one wheel.
It Is pretty bad to come down from
a negro king loaded with diamonds
to a plain white tramp, but when they
got the blacking washed off of ub, and
we saw we were actually white people
again, half way respected by the peo-
ple that run the boat. It was not so
bad, and when we lunded In Germany
where you can get beer and cheese
by holding up your fingers, It was
great, and It was not long before Pa
was well enough to go out nights with-
out a chaperone, and as soon as he
settled up with the Hagenhacks on
the wild animal deal, and got his bar-
rel of money, there was nothing too
good for us, and we bought new
clothes, and begun to be taken for
escaped Americans.
Pa and the cowboy went to Paris
and ordered a new runabout airship,
and then went to Constantinople to
hlro-out to the Turkish government
to drop bombs all over Bulgaria when
the war broke out, and they left me In
ness, and let us have fun on an equal-
ity and go In our shirt sleeves, and
bare footed, but I won hint over,
and every day we had more fun than
he ever had before.
I told hint how Pa and I were chums,
and how we Joked each other and
laughed till our sides ached. He
couldn't believe that a boy could laugh
In the presence or his father, and said
he didn't believe his father could
laugh, as he had never seen him do
so. I told him that If he traveled with
me for awhile he would get his old
man laughing, or bust his slats. The
prince said his dad, the emperor, was
worried to death nearly, and took his
duties too seriously and the family
would give anything If they could Jolly
hint up. so I told the prince we would
put up a Job on his nibs and give bint
the first degree, anyway. So the next
day we hired an organ grinder and a
monkey and hired the Italian organ
grinder to disappear for the day, and
give us the machine and the monkey,
and we went to a costumers and 1 got
a suit Just like the organ grinder
wore, and we got a monkey suit for
the prince, a dead ringer for the one
the monkey wore naturally, and we
took the outfit to a place In the park
where the emperor and empress walk-
ed every day at ten o’clock, and when
we saw them coming I began to turn
the organ, and the natural monkey
and the Imitation monkey, the prince,
began to do stunts, and the prince’s
Pa and Ma stopped to see the fun.
The natural monkey worked them
for pennies and the prince stood on
his hands, and then on his head, and
turned flip flopB such as no monkey
ever turned before, and the emperor's
face relaxed and finally when the

Palace.”
Berlin to stay at u hotel iiiTtil they
came back.
I didn't have anything to do but to
ride around on the street ears and
loaf in the parks, which was pretty
tame until one day I got acquainted
with a young prince, who Is a son of
the emperor, and when he found I
was an American he got stuck on me,
and I taught hint some English he
couldn’t learn In school and after I
had taught hint a whole lot of choice
slang, we became great chums. When
1 told hint my Pn had been appointed
king of an African tribe, but was
away from bis kingdom on a vacation,
he said I must be a crown prince and
I owned up that I was a crown prince
all right, and you ought to see the
change In my German prince.
At tlrst he couldn't help lording It
over m»' and thought I ought to salute
him and stand up In his presence, but
I made him rut out the royalty busi-
ness and for a while we were on an
equal footing, while I taught him some
of the tricks 1 used to play on Pa.
but when he found I was a crow*,
prince and be was only one of these
eenntmon princes, a younger son, he
insisted that he must salute me and
stand up when In my presence.
It was quite a while before I could
get him to quit the whole prince bust-
Imitation monkey climbed up a tree
tall first the emperor roared with
laughter, unit the empress laughed,
and then she was afraid the emperor
would burst a tdood vessel, and she
tried to call him off, but he listened to
the organ and laughed at the stunts,
and seemed to be having the time of
bis life, when at a signal front me,
we both pulled the disguises from our
faces, the prince said "Hello dad, I
caught you laughing the first time In
my life," and the emperor and em-
press saw that the big monkey was
their own little prince and they laugh-
ed louder than ever, until some sol-
diers that were keeping guard ovet
the royal family came running up
thinking it was a conspiracy to do
them harm, bin the emperor sent them
away, and we all sat down on the
grass.
The prince Introduced me as an
American boy whose father was king
of an African tribe, and the emperor
looked at me and finally said; "If I
am not mistaken you are Peck's Had
Iloy, who uncorked a bottle of
Egyptian fleas in the palace years ago,
when you and your father were given
an audience," and I had to own up,
and the emperor laughed a lot more,
and said he never had had i much
fun since, as he did that day when tho
fleas got in their work on his royal
person, and he told the prince to In-
vito me home with him. and we would
all try to have a little fun.
Well, you could have knocked mo
down with a feather, I was so sur-
prised. The prince talked some slang
to his parents, that I had taught hint,
and then we returned the orgun and
the monkey to the owner, and the
prince gave him a lot of money and
we got Into our own clothes and the
prince took me to the palace to stay
a week, and when we met the em-
peror he was smiling all over his
face and the prince was afraid his
Pa's face would crack open.
Well, of all the snaps I ever had,
JUST WHAT IS A GOPHER?
:?•
Various States Have Given Name to
All Kinds of Creatures.
If you asked a mini from the Illinois
prairies what a gopher was," said a
■nun who acted as though he hail
asked a man from Illinois prairies the
question, “he would say a gopher was
a gray squirrel that burrowed In the
ground.
“If you should ask the same quos |
Hon of a man from prairies further
west he'd say a gopher was a striped
squirrel that lived iu holes In the
ground.
• A Missouri farmer, though, would
declare to you, If you asked hint, that
a gopher was a mole-footed brown
rat that digs Its way under Ihe ground
In that state.
“A man front Georgia would prob-
ably surprise you, therefore, when he
assured you that a gopher was a snake
familiar to everybody in that state,
but not more perhaps than a Florida
native would aurprrlse you when he
lufotnied you that a gopher was a
turtle.
"The funny part of the matter Is
that every one of these Informants
would be right in his view. A gopher
Is a gray squirrel that burrows, a
striped squirrel that burrows, a snake
that doesn't burrow and n turtle that
(lu»s. just according to the locality.
The most Interesting of all these Is
the harrowing turtle.
' This turtle Is a Florida Institution.
The Florida cracker, and quite a good
many Florida folks who hold them-
selves a good deal higher than the
cracker, dote on the gopher, nnd think
It is the finest thing in the edible line
ever created.
"The gopher never leaves its burrow
except to forage. If It can't get Into
a sweet potato patch It will graze on
the wild grasses that abound In the lo-
calities where It lives.
"The burrow of this gopher Is In-
variably shared by Its occupant with
a family of rattlesnakes or lizards.
The gopher plainly delights In their
deadly association, although It Is Itself
as mild and harmless as a dove.

the Turkleh Government.
living at a palace beat anything, be-
cause I had servants to do everything
for me but breathe. I had to do my
own breathing.
We nearly broke tip the whole fam-
ily the first day. The emperor has a
lot of black dachshunds, these long
dogs that are built as though they
were grown under a bureau and pulled
out by the tall and stretched. Two of
them were trained to roll over on the
floor when told to do so.
Before breakfast one morning the
prince and I were playing with the
dogs, and I told him If I could get a
length of small stove pipe I would
show them a trick, so he got the
stove pipe and we put one dog In one
end of the pipe with his hind quarters
sticking out with his tail wagging, and
in the other end of the pipe we put
the other dog. with his head and fore
feet out, so It looked like one dog six
feet long.
We had the thing framed up when
the emperor and empress came down
to breakfast, arm in arm. The dog
whose head was sticking out of the
pipe harked a morning welcome, and
the dog at the other end of the pipe
wagged his tall, and the royal family
got a sight of the largest dog in cap-
tivity, and the emperor stopped with
a frown on his face, and said; "Got
In hltnmel, vot vos der matter fronde
hundt,” and the empress held up her
hands and said: "Och, gott,” and just
then the prince who was at the head
of the dog said, "roll over,” and then
there was trouble.
The prince's dog at the front of the
stove pipe rolled over one way, and
the dog at my end rolled over the
other way, and there they lay on their
backs in the stove pipe, the front
logs of one pawing the air, and tho
hind legs of the other kicking, and
we had to pull them out of the pipe,
and when the two dogs began to
caper around the emperor and empress
the emperor said, in the slang the
prince had taught hint; "Veil, vouldn't
that skin me." and the empress said;
"You bed nty life already,” and then
we went into breakfast.
We had sausage for breakfast and I
whistled and the prince barked, and
the emperor wanted to know what we
meant, nml the prince told him that
in America bad men made sausage
from dogs, and the only way you could
tell If sausage was made of dog was
to whistle, and if it was pork sausage
It would lie still, but if It was dog It
would wag itself. They took It all
serious, and when Ihe emperor was
served with sausage he snapped his
fingers nnd said, "charge down," and
the empress held a piece of cracker
to the head of her sausage nnd said,
“speak." There was mulling doing,
and we ate the sausage without a
bark.
The emperor thinks of Bending the
prince to an American college and
wants me to give hint some pointers
o™ what he has got coming to him,
nnd I atn going to commence hazing
him to-morrow.

for two years but 1 noticed a scum
on my legs like fish scales. I did not
attend to it until It came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all
sore and scabby and I could not wear
shoes. I had to use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. I got a cake of
the Cutlcura Soap and some Cuticura
Ointment. In less than ten days I
could put on my boots and In less than
three weeks I was free from the con-
founded Itching. Capt. George P. BHsb,

A Tabloid Fable.
A man once collided with an oppor-
tunity.
“Why don't you look where you are
going?” growled the man.
"Don't you recognize me?” asked the
opportunity, pleasantly.
"No, and I don't care to. You have
trodden on my corns," replied the man
as he limped away.
Moral: Don't believe the people
who Bay they have never had a chance.
