A WAUWINET WOOING; Mies Leila Hamilton was the chief stenographer in the banking offico of Harrison Bro, Stato street, Boston. She directed the feeding of six other typewriting machines, and sho kept her subordinates busy from morning until afternoon. Miss Hamilton was not only invalua? ble to her employers. Sho was a!so of Ijreat use to her sex, in whose emanci? pation she was mobt ntally concerned. Miss Hamilton wai, ia fact, a fair specimen of tho "new woman." Her great ampition was to see woman, in the full possession of tho ballot, rising on great billows of reform until all tho lins of nicked man wore swept away in ono great tidal wave of femine votes. But Miss Hamilton was a very at? tractive young woman She possessed large and lustrous blue eyes, which looked steadily and straight into the .yes of others and gave birth to\_iew sensations ia the hearts of the wicked nen. In short, Miss Hamilton had all the .ppearanco of being a pretty, happy, finlele#s chorus girl while sho was at -.curt a combination bf Mus Susan B, /knthony and Dr. Mary Walker. '?This yeir, when my summer vaca? tion comep," she told ono of her col ? eagu.s. "I am going somewhere where [ can rest and where I won't be trou? bled by men. I havo discovered an deni place at Wauwinet, on Nantucket, [t's a little neck of land, and on one iide is tbe surf and on the other the still water. It is out of the terrible *nsb, and lhere are a great nany wo ncn there, and as far as I know not .ne single man. If that is not a pnra lise, I do not know what is." Thus it happened that Miss Haruil ,on landed at Wauwinet, whero sho .eacefully established herself for three leeka of uninterrupted rest. Miss 3amiLon was greeted by a little bevy A woman who wore spectacles, had itt lo rod oases at tho ends of their loses and were plain in their dress and n general strict in lliiir appearance. "We are so glad you have come," hoy oxclaimed in a chorus, "and it ii io nice to have one so young and gir ish looking intorested in the great cause!" Mi s Hamilton had mado only one nis'ake in tho catalogue of tha advan ag' s of Wauwinet. As it happened here was a fine old mansion, which had been recently purchased by a party if bachelors from New York cih. El ere they had established themselves for theil first season. Thus it hap? pened tbat there were really 20 single nen instead of none at all when Miss drim iljon made her first appearance. Miss Hamilton rose early after a fine night's rest. She enjoyed with equal :e .1 her breakfast. Then she started >ut for a ramble along the beach. She ooked down toward 'Sconeet, saw Ihe loaring tower of Sankaty light and nidged toward it as a magnet draws ts iron. This brought her past the clubhouse rhere, all unknown,sho became an ob? ed of great interest. "Gad, Charlie, just look there,' ailed Billy Hills from the' reading oom, "a__d don't go too near tho win low or you will scare har! But, Jove, sn't sho a rare biid for Wauwinet? Ihe is the first good looking girl I a ve seen sinee we arrived." ??Guess 1*11 take a little stroll," qui tly obaervod Davy Ho'mes. "Think noeda little exorcise" "No, you don'i!" a half il zen voice, objected, '-You are too well 1 nown. You may disgraco yourself in New York as much as you like, lui" here < want to bo respectable." Ho "i'.iv,'' ?subsided an 1 1 ided bis t mc. A howling northeast cry storm had cut lhe nick of land on which Wauwi net stands in jtwo pieces. This bri sch occured at the spot wLich had always been called the "Hau'over," Lee nine it was tho narrowest spot where the fish? ermen hauled I heir bea's over to the other side. It was now called the "Opening"' and was growing wid r and wider. Miss Hamilton began at once to harden Ler rnusclss by rowing and hud rented a small skiff for the Mason She came to this opening, and, little realiz? ing tho danger when J the tiJe wns run? ning, she boldly rowed up to it and suddenly found herself carried along toward ihe open sea by a power as un? manageable as it wasiaipetceptiUc. This was on tho evening of her first day. Charlie Harris Lad seen Ler set out and was slyly following, unseen^ behind tho hedge of bayberry which grew along tho footpaths of tho neck. Ho thought at first that Miss Hamil? ton handled the oars in a manner which would be creditable to an amazon. He was quite as ignorant as Miss Hamil? ton herself of the great danger in which she rowed. But as Miss Hamilton approached the broad opening which leads to the great octan she became alarmed. She ?saw Harris and for a moment forgo, aer prejudices by calling for help. It took less than a minute for Harris, somewhat lighter by Ihe clothing ho lad hastily taken from his back, to reach the boat. Miss Hamilton had forgotten his sci. At the same time me forgot her prevailing opinion of His kiDd. Her hoart swelled with grati? tude as ho took the oars. But Charlie Harris was unable to ;opo with that tide, and the boat and its two occupants wt nt sweeping along raster and faster until it wns among the heavy breakers of the sea. It chanced also that Charlie had him? self been observed, and a party of a lonen young gent lemon were soon seen to bo making hasty efforts to launch a big boat. Then Charlio preeciwd I mrly of his friends making go ;d pro? gress toward his boat. His feelings were somewhat mixed. Elis desire to be saved was devided vith the hope tnat ho might have the jonor of paving Miss Hamilton alone, flo was disappointed, howevei. The ittle boat was broJght alongside, and he pair was transferred safely and >rought to shore. Then Charlie noticed his own condi ion and quickly fled without lurther :onversation. Miss Hamilton also lime* to her senses and started for tho lotel without a word. S ie said nothing about her adven ure to the array of severe matrons vho lined tho piazza as she approached, ind, eating her supper as quickly as )08sible, she joined the group, which vas busily discussing the propaganda )f their cause and the campaign which vas to be waged for the emaucip .tion >f women. Sornthow the old subject md lout somo of ita savor to Mis.s Hamilton. She talked less and stemed ;o havo lost her animation. Charlie Harris was also suffering in i different way. ?Wo are going to apply lo the life taving service, old man," paid Reggie Bowles, for a situation hero to rescue irettjc girls in th<3 summer, b-it I'm ifrald you'll not be csp'en, Charlie. Each one had a little jibe until it vas too hot for Charlie. He went to lia room a nd dressed for evening. It vas born in him tbat ho owed Mm lamilton an apology. At a'l events it nade an excellent excuse. As Charlie approached the hotel he loticed Miss Hamilton, and ho quietly lursed himself when ho saw h? r sur oundings. Miss Hamilton also noticed dm, and Ler color deepened. It was ust this moment that she bogan to lato the "cause.'' "I beg pardon for interrupting," bs aid, but I shold like to speak to you, liss Hamilton." The entire company rose as if gov. med by the samo impulse and depar ed with elevated noses. Miss Hamil on and Harri-: had the p'aco to them elves. At the doparturo M iss Hamilton ouml to her surprise ihat tdio had ac ually accepted an invitation to viwit iankaty light the next day. When tho two departed the next aorniug, thero was a wave of dismay n tho camp of tho woman suffragists. "It is a most disgraceful proceeding, nd Bhe is no longer respectable," de lared tho leader of thc crowd, and her pinion was re gi 'ded as final. Miss Hamilton was no longer trou loJ by their.ociety.
