"I'll play anything you like." "And do anything I like?" she ask ed, looking at him dubiously. Her tone was half-serious, half-playful. "Anything," he replied, firmly. That is provided you'll accept that as proof that I love you. I've said all I can to no avail." Elinor did not reply nor look up; she was tracing her name in the sand thinking. She had tried to believe Jack, hut, somehow, at times, she doubted that he really meant all he said. "He was such a serious sort of a fellow, and she O, she was frivolous and scatter-brained, according to her own estimatu of herself, Why should he love her? And yet, why should he say so If he did not? At last she covered the sand letters over and looked up. "Jack," she said, "wou. you really do anyti.i. 3 for me?

The young man turned impatiently and looked out across the hroud ex panse of water. How easily the White-winged yachts skimmed over the water. He wished his little craft of love would run so smoothly. "Elinor," he said turning to her, "will you stop singing that songT" "When fb r present fit of ill temper blows over," she retorted, watching the last few grains of sand fail from her fingers. "If I but luiew your heart was true," she hummed on, ig nornig him. "See here, what can I do to prove to you that I am sincere?" He watched her dust the sand from her pretty palm. "Do?

Tell me that but, no, don't; I'll do It. Are we not living a hun dred years ago?" Elinor wished now that he had promised to do It, that she bad not asked It. Suppose a storm should come up and the waves would dash over the rock and sweep him off and and he was not abgj to swim far enough to reach the shore. "Jack." she said, a little nervously, "let's move forward a hundred years; I don't like It way back here. I I might believe you." In a New Light. She: I shall have to refuse you again.

Elinor sat In the window of their summer cottage on the shore and watched the tide come in, wave by wave. One by one the shadows fell and the figure out on the rock became less and less distinct. At last she bad to go out to the beach to see it at all. Higher and higher grew the water mark about the rock and yet the figure did not move; It sat on th topmost point, looking out over the sound. At last It was too dark to see the figure on the rock and Elinor walked up and down the beach in front of the cottage. She was supposed to have retired, but somehow It seemed to useless to pretend to sleep. She wondered if the ladles in the centuries long ago slept on as usual while their knights were In danger. O, she wished tomorrow would come when she might live again in the twentieth century. The searchlight of a sound steamer was thrown on the rock, and by its light she could see the waves break and smash about the ragged edges. Running close to the water's edge, she looked up and down for a skiff, one of the old flat boats she and Jack so often fished In. Finding one far up on the shore, she dragged it down to the water and jumped in. Stroke by stroke she pulled out toward the big rock, but the tide was strong and the boat heavy. It seemed hours before she came anywhere near it. "Jack, Jack!" she called. "I'm O it's such hard pulling."

A derserved tribute to the country editor, couched in the language of frank truth and honesty, is quoted by the Way cross Herald. It declares: "The country papers have many faults, they make blun ders and leave undone many good works.

The wife has her realm and rules in it. The husband takes orders in matters under her control and she his in some other mat matters, and over other matters still they conslt and agree upon a course.
