The son tide of the bay Japped almost at her feet, and the draperies of her white gown melted hazily into the sands. She looked like wraith, a despondent phantom of the sea. although the adjective is re- Hnndnnt .Xohodv ever thinks of a cheerful phantom.

And then 1 came, accompanied by a tray of little silver dishes that jingled and an unmistak able odor of broiled chicken! "Oh!" she said quickly: and then, Dh! 1 thought you were Jenkins." "Tinieo Donaos what's the rest of It?" I asked, rendering my offering. 'You didn't have any dinner, you know." I sat down beside her. "See, I'll be the table. 'A'hal was the old fairy tale? 'LittT goat bleat: little table appear!' I'm perfectly willing to be the goat, too." She was laughing rather tremu lously. "We never do meet like othei peo ple, do we?" she asked. "Wc really ought to shake hands and say how are you." "I don't want to meet you like other people, and I suppose you always think of me as wearing the other fel low's clothes." I returned meekly 'ftt doing it again; 1 don't seem to "Be Able to help it. These are Grang er's th I have on now." She threw bick her head and laughed again. Joyously, this time "Oh. it's so ridiculous." she said, "and J'ou have never seen me whet. I was not eating! It's too prosaic!" "Which reminds me that the chick en Is getting cold, and the ice warm."

' But she ate nothing, after all. and pretty soon 1 put the tray down in the sand. I said little: there was no hurry. We were together, and time meant nothing against mat agelong wash of the sea. The air blew her, hair in small damp curls against her tace, and little by little the tide re- treated, leaving our boat an oais in a waste of gray sand.

"Yon said, you know, that you had ordered all this for something you you wanted to say to nie. But the faet is. 1 lixed it all came here, I mean, because I knew you would come, and I had something to tell you. It was such a miserable thing I needed the accessories to help me out."

Nobody else does." "I wonder." 1 repeated, "why 1 do!" "It you prodr.t Harry Sullivan." she was saying, partly to herself, "and if you could connect him wi'h .Mr. Hronson. and get a full account of why Ik was on the tiaiu, and all that, it it would help, wouldn't it?" She Was Sitting on I acknowledged that it would. Now that the whole truth was almost in my possession, 1 was stricken with the old cowardice. I did not want to know what she might tell me. The vellow line on the horizon, where the moon was coming up. was a broken j bit of golden chain: my heel in the, sand was again pressed on a worn- j an's yielding fingers. I pulled myself j together with a jerk. ."In order that what you tell me may help me, if it will." I said con- strainedly. "it would be necessary, perhaps, that you tell it to the police. Since they have found the end of the necklace "" "The end of the necklace!" she re peated slowly. "Wluit about tin- end of the necklace?" I stared at her. "Don't you remem ber" 1 leaned forward "the- end of the cameo necklace, the part that was hrnk-en off. ami was found in the black sealskin bag. stained with with blood? "lHood," she said dully.

I bent toward the girl "I am going to ask ju.-t one ipies lion " "Anything you like." Her voice was almost dreary. "Was it because of anything you are going to tell me that you refused Itichey?" She drew her breath in sharply. "No." she said, without looking at me "Xo. That was not the reason." CHAPTER XXVIU. Alison's Story. She told her story evenly, with her eye3 on the water, only now and then, when T. too, sat looking seaward, I thought she glanced at me furtively. And once, in the middle of it, she stopped altogether. "You don't realize it, probably," she protested, "but you look like a a war god. Your face is horrible." "I will turn my back, if it will help any." I said stormily, "but if you ex pect me to look anything but murder ous, why, you don't know what I am going through with. That's all." The story of her meeting" with the Curtis woman was brief enough. They had met in Rome first, where Alison and her mother had taken a villa for a year. Mrs. Curtis had hovered on the ragged edges of society there, pleading the poverty of the south since the war as a reason for not go ing out more. There was talk of a brother, but Alison had not seen him, and after a scandal which implicated "Sirs. Curtis and a young attache of the Austrian embassy. Alison had been forbidden to see the woman. "The women had never liked her. anyhow." she said. "She did uncon ventional things, and they are very conventional there. And thpy said she did not always pay her her gambling debts. 1 didn't like them. 1 thought they didn't like her because she was poor and popular. Then we Harry Pinckncy Sullivan." "I know. Oo on." ".Mother had a nurse, and I was alone a great deal, and they were very kind to me. 1 1 saw a lot of them. The brother rather attracted me, part ly partlj because he did not make lore to me. He even seemed to avoid me. and i was piqued I had been spoiled. I suppose. Most of the other men I knew had had " an Overturned Boat. "I knew that, too." I said bitterly, and moved away from her a trifle. I was brutal, but the whole story was a long torture. I think she knew what 1 was suffering, for she showed no re- , sentment -f w:t oarly and ihere were few j,npi, around none that I cared aumim And mother and the nurse tli:iyd cribliage eternally, until 1 felt as though the little pegs were driven into my t,raj. And when Mrs. Curtis ;,rraneed drives and picnics. I I slipped away and went. I suppose j you won't believe me. but I had never done that kind of thing before, and I well. 1 have paid up. I think." "What sort of looking chap was Sullivan?" I demanded. I had got up and was pacing back and forward on the said. I remember kicking savage ly at a bit of water-soaked board that lay in my way. "Very handsome as large as you I Lucky He Was Not Vain Rather Keen Thrust Given Traveler Passing Through the Mountains of Tennessee. According to a Washington ollicial. whose public business occasionally takes him to the mountains, of Ten nessee, the inhabitants of those parts evince a naivette that is at times dis concerting to the stranger's amour propre This official had one day stopped at a mountain ret 1 eat for a few minutes to change horses. "Iurty fair lookin" boss you've been ridinV observed the not nncomely j young woman who had met the travel er at the door. "Yes, purty fair." "Purtv fair lookin' yourself.'' was the next observation, delivered In a cool, level tone. "Thanks." said the ollicial. slightly blushing. "Are you married?" asked the young woman. "Xo, I'm a bachelor." "Well, I reckon you're 'bout as well off that way. an' mebbe -a little better. I'm married myself Charmed by this show of confidence, j are, but fairand even more erect," I drew my shoulders up sharply. I am straight enough, but I was fairly sagging with jealous rage. "When mother began to get around, somebody told her that 1 bad been going about with Mrs. Curtis and her brother, and we had a dreadful time. I was dragged home like a bad child. Did anybody ever do that to you?" "Nobody ever cared. 1 was born an orphan," I said, with a cheerless attempt at levity. "Go on." "If llrs. Curtis knew, she never said anything. She wrote me charm ing letters, and in the summer, when they went to Cresson. she asked me to visit her there. 1 was too proud to let her know that I could not go where 1 wished, and so I sent Polly, my maid, to her aunt's in the country. "Did You Marry Him?" I Demanded. pretended to go to Seal Harbor, and really went to Cresson. You see I warned you it would be an unpleasant story." I went over and stood in front of her. All the accumulated jealousy of the last few weeks had been fired by what she told me. If Sullivan had come across the sands just then. I think I would have strangled him with my hands, out of pure hate. "Dil you marry him?" I demanded. My voice sounded hoarse and strange in my ears. "That's all I want to know. Did you marry liiiu?" "No." I drew a long breath. "Yin!--cared about him.'" She hesitated. "No." she .-aid finally. "I did not care about him." I sat down on the edge of the boat and mopped m hot face. I was heart ily ashamed or myself, and mingled with my abasement was a great re lief. If she had not married him, and I bad not cared for him nothing else ! was of an importance. "I was sorry, of course, tin- moment the train had started, but I had wired I was coming, ami I could not go back, and then when I got there, the place was charming. There were no neighbors, but we fished and rode and motored, and It was moonlight. like this." 1 put my hand over both of hers, clasped in her lap. "I know." I ac knowledged repentantly, "and people do queer things when it is moonlight. The moon has got me to-night. Alison. If I am a boor, remember that, won't you?" Her lingers lay quiet under mine. "nd so." she went on with a little sigh. "I began to think perhaps I cared. Hut all the time I felt that there was something not quite right. Now and then Mrs. Curtis would say or do some'hing that gave nie a queer start, is If sbe had dropped a mask for a Jioraent. And thore was trouble with the servants; they were almost insolent. I couldn't under stand. I don't know when it dawned on me thai the old Maron CavalcautI had been right when he said they were not my kind of people. Hut I wanted tov.get away, wanted it des perately." "Of course, they were not your kind." I cried. "The man was mar ried! The girl Jennie, a housemaid, was a spy in Mrs. Sullivan's employ. If he had pretended to marry you I would have killed him! Nor only that, but the man he murdered. Harrington, was bis wife's father. And I'll see him hang by the neck yet ir it takes every energy and every penny 1 pos sess " I could have told her so much more gently, have broken the shock for her; I have never been proud of that evening on the sand. I was alternate ly a boor and a rullian like a hurt younsier who passes the blow that has hurt him on to his playmate, that both may bawl together. And now Alison sat. white and cold, without speech. UK cv."TI.nti:im the official observed that perhaps hl3 own condition would have been better had he married some good, sensible girl years before. "I'm sure." he add ed, "that I should have been a happier man " The young woman smiled reflective ly. "Mebbe." she concluded; "but how'd the girl be feelin' by now?" Lippincott's Magazine. How Cowper Would Open His Eyes. In the eighteenth century, as to-day, vour putt sometimes gave himself up to rueful reflection on the market value of his wares. In a letter of Cowper's. lately "sold at auction, occur this leference. "I an: no very good arithmetician, yet 1 calculated the other day in my morning walk that my two volumes at the price of thre guineas will cost the purchaser less than the seventh part of a farthing per line.

A portion of the prize cattle exhibit representing the I'niversity of Ne braska at the Internationaljive stock exposition held in Chicago last week has reached Lincoln, accompanied by Herdsman Charles Shumate and As sistant Hert Co.ad.
