The Banjo slid over the beach water and up to the pier-steps, the young man at the prow bringing her "to" like some sensate thing that knew her duty. A few idlers down from the hotel stood by, awaiting the arrival of the afternoon steamer bringing the mail and such guests as fate might send. These turned to watch the disem barking of the sailing party, anything being idly interesting upon such an exquisite day, with the sapphire sky and the amber and green and gold of the ocean. 'By George!" murmured Harry Dil lingham to his companion, removing his cigar from his lips in surprised ad miration. "I say, old boy, who is that magnificent woman in the gray boating-suit, with the gold anchor on her sleeve and the pennon around her cap? Thew! You have a beauty here, Bcnsonhurst!" His companion shrugged his snoul ders significantly, knocking the ashes from his cigar against the pier-railing. "Your ignorance proclaims your so journ in the wilderness, Dillingham," was the lazy rejoinder. "Every one who is any one or has been any where this season knows Mrs. Gra ham. She carries a fortune in her finger-rings and a nabob's ransom in her necklace. None of your milk-and-water beauties, either. There is a power of wisdom in that little dark ; head, let me tell you. You arc bound to be at vour best in her society. Her husband adores her." "She has a husband, then? Is he here?" "Of course. One of the lavish sort, you know. Spends cash like waver. Their house on the avenue is magnifi cent. No shoddy; blue biood straight through. Surely, you have heard of tht great house of Graham? They muse have been abroad, he and his wife. They just returned this sum mer, and have spent the monihs at this island. But thafs enough for now. She's coming up." He turned toward the woman in question, as she was assisted, to the pier, a tall, high-bred gentleman stand ing before her bareheaded, his cigar consigned to Neptune, as he added, smiling: "No need to ask if you have en joyed the sail, Mrs. Graham. Your j face tells its story." ! She smiled dazzlingly. Her lifted j eyes, even in that clear light, were the even color of violets. She dan gled a bunch of sea-weed in one hand, careful that the water should not drip upon her dress. The sunset struck gold through the brown of her hair, under the pretty cap. "We have had - such a delightful sail," she said, "that my face would be a craven not to show it, Mr. Ben sonhurst. The Banjo s well named. It is the music of motion." "Priestly bandies the ropes as deftly as the literal banjo string.," added Beusonhurst. "May I have the pleas ure of making my friend known to you? Mr. Harry Dillingham, Mrs. Graham. Dillingham's been tranipincc through the forests of Maine this summer, and only now comes to Fire Island, so he says, from pure friend ship for me, which I doubt. To descend from the killing of deer to the killing of dolphin for some other fellow's sake isn't the nineteenth cen tury code. Here comes the steamer. The Zingara, by Jove! Wonder what's happened to the other? Are you ex pecting any one out, Mrs. Graham?" "No one," said Mrs. Graham, with Bupreme conviction. "Most of my friends are at Mount Desert cr the Thousand Islands or Europe. My husband and I came here to watch the sailing of ships, instead of spend ing the summer where dress is set by Fashion's decree. One needs rest after the winter, not fashion. So the surf here and the light-house and the coastguard and sands" The brilliant smile that came and went instantaneously, but was like sunlight upon her face, finished the sentence eloquently. "And sailing!" added Bensonhurst, with his significant uplifting of the eye-brows. "Especially the arrival of tne zingara, with her passengers, Mrs. Graham!" "Yes," replied Mrs. Graham, absent ly, her eyes on the approaching steam er, slowly swinging the sea-weed to and fro, yet never splashing her gown. "Everything here is very restful am. charming, Mr. Bensonhurst!" The party iroin the sail-biat wen gathered about them, having alighted, and were also awaiting the arriyal o. the Fire Island steamer. Mrs. Graham was conspi ious among them for hex beauty and grace. "Unless I am mistaken," Ninette Bradley said, turning to Mrs. Graham, "your husband Is on the steamer, Alecia. The; j i scarcely ever any mistaking him, is there? He is such a magnificent u n!" Alecia Graham shook her head an-, turned- her face with one of tuost swift, transfiguring smiles, upon hei friend. She appreciated praise of he. husljand. "You are not mistaken, Ninette. Harold is upon the steamer. He wen to the city this morning on business. Do you think that"l would have gone without him even in the Banjo this afternoon, had he been here?" xMnette laughed. She moved a trifle away from Alecia's. swinging sea weed. She abhorred a soiled toilet or a speck upon her gown. gang-plank where the steamer stopped, and waited for her husband to come to her. -The color came and went in her face: her eves. too. were burning with nervous excitement. - Mr. Graham sprang lightly on the pier, ere the plank was thrown out, and again lifting his hat courteously to her and her companions, gre them with a word or smile, here and there, turned with her up the pier to ward the hotel. "Was it warm in the city, Harold?' "Very warm, Alecia suffocating. It is like champagne to breathe this air trom the ocean. Let us go down to ihe beach, if you are not fatigued." "I am not-fatigued, Harold. Shall we go to the pavilion or along the sar.us "Oh, along the sands," he said, rest lessly, keeping his eyes resolutely from meeting hers. "A long distance on the sands, Alecia, where I can have you to myself. Then ah'. " he broke olf sudueniy. "How can I tell you, Alecia:" "If there is anything that you should tell me, Harold," she said, steadily aud sweetly, "you need not fear. Nothing can hurt me much while I have you!" That wonaeri'ui smile ot ners was on her face as sue lifted it to his as ilicy passed aioug the covered walk, arcuml the hotel piazza and out ou the other side toward the beach. There were groups here and there on the yla;:za, reading or laklug or idly waicliing the l.ght of the fading suu set upon the water aud the glimmer or' sails iu the distance against the heavens. Thise the two must greet or exciiange wnn them ligut worus ot compliment "There have , so many ships passed to-day," she said, mechanically, not to ailow silence to fall upon them. "So many ships, Harold but they all go by; they never stop or stay." "Yes," he said bitterly, commanding j his voice by a powerful effort. "Every- : thing passes, Alecia, like the ships." ' "Not everything, Harold. Love nev-"j er drifts by when once it finds harbor. J The winds and the currents cannot j move itj Its anchor sinks so deeply In the heart, Harold, that only a dead heart yields it up." He turned upon her in sudden fierce ness. His burning eyes llamed into hers, but she would not falter. "1'ou have never been tried," said, hoarseiy. "Try me," she said. But he made no answer, and could not speak further with growing fear in her heart; and so in silence they descended the steps of the pavilion and struck out upon the sands, where the surf hissed and seethed with the lifting and falling of the breakers. The sand was heavy,, and they moved slowly along, she with the dangling sea-weed, he with his clenched hands, the soft lights upon them, the ocean and the ships Jtut beyond. They turned the bend in the beach and were alone, so far as curi ous eyes could see or curious ears catch any word not meant for them. Then Harold Graham stopped and faced his wife. lie placed some mar velous restraint upon himself for he was a passionate man and when he disengaged the seaweed from her rin gers, letting it fall unheeded upon the sands, his touch was very gentle. Both her hands he held in his, and drawing her to him so, he laid them upon his' breast, his eyes upon hers. "Alecia!" "Harold!" "My, darling, you believe that I love you?" "Perfectly." . "You told me back there to try you. I shall try you infinitely." Terror was growing upon her. Her startled eyes would not retain the brave spirit she sought to hold. Her lips would tremble, do as she would, as she answered, softly: "Yes, Harold." "Alecia!" he cried, letting her hands fall and turning despairingly from her toward the one or two sails down on the horizon. "Alecia! You cannot tlrearn what it is! How can I tell fOU?" ! have not one penny in all the world She sighed. The tense lines of her face relaxed; her hands upon his aai were quite steady. She had feared something bo different, that this was a relief. "Is that 'all, Harold?" He fell bacK from her, letting her hands fall from his arm - Amazement was upon every feature of his face Then he recovered himself, believing that she did not understand. "All, Alecia? Is it ndt quite enough? Do you comprehend that I say that we have not one penny in the world to live upon or die upon; not one penny! Is that not enough? Beggars cast upon the world with nothing but cred itors clamoring about mc and you: Is this all?" "But my money, Harold? now calm she was! Surely she did not realize what it meant to be penniless. "Can we not manage upon that until bet ter times are for us? You Avill re trieve yourself; you could not stay crushed. Your brave heart would never admit that, dearest." He groaned again turning his face from her eyes. "Your money, Alecia? Your money was in with mine and has gone, too. I believed it perfectly safe, this last investment, and put every penny into it every one! The house closed to day, though no one outside is aware of it; and as I shall give up every thing, I cannot meet the demand. I shall be weighed to the earth with lia bilities. I shall drag you down as well. But, of it all, the bitterest is that your money is gone through me. The house is yours, Alecia. It was bought and made over to you when there was no hint of failure. And your jewels are yours. Were you not accustomed to the luxuries . of our home, you might call this a fortune; nevertheless it is not half equal to the fortune I lost for you." She smiled Very softly, taking his hand in both of hers aud leaning her cheek against it. x - "I love beautiful Hung?-," she said. "What woman does not? But, after all. I can be happy without them, Har old. HaA ing each other and our health and brave hearts, should we not feel that we are blest? Whatever you did with my money you did for the best, I am assured. The one thing that I regret is that every demand cannot be met. Of course we will give up the house; that will surely realize a good deal and may help you. The jewels I will keep because you pave them to me, and because "how steadily she spuke "because there is no reason why I should give them up. i You think that I do not comprehcul this, Harold. I may not know all that this means, but have you, aud have no fear. I can be happy in but one room at a time. Our EDUCATIONAL GRAND RALLY HAD A NICE STATEROOM.

Harold, dearest," added Alecia presently, they two standing alone upon the sands with the purple and lilac and pink of twilight falling around them and the hoarse murmur of the sea at their feet; afar off, against the lifting rose of moonrise, a white sail glimmered. Her face, lifted steadfastly to his. was touched with some indescribable soft ness of light and shadow from the world around them. The golden anchor on her sleeve caught reflection from the moonrise and glowed against the soft gray of her gown like an emblem of hope. "We will face the tutu'-e and conquer it, Harold!" It was a question as well as a com forting assurance, for she kuew how i much this fashionable world was to i him, and how he demanded luxury where she would force herself to be happy without, it. "We will agree to be true to each other, dearest," he made answer.vcry gravely. They turned back toward the hotel. feeling that were beginning a new li'e an unknown life from that time. Alecia, pausing a moment in the pa vilion, her hand resting lightly upon her husband's arm, gazed across the purple black of the ocean, along the line of silver heralding moonrise, to wfrere the distant ships seemed sta tionary so far away against the light ing neaven. "And are they laden with hopes too," she thought, wistfully, "and sail ing away?" (To be continued.) made to secure volunteer commit tees to look after the school houses in every district. Superintendent Charles L. Coon, ol the Salisbury graded schools, made a ' very bright and effective speech in ex ; plaining the condition cf the average school house in North Carolina and ; iu impresflng the need of just the kind of work it is proposed to ac- ; complish through the association re- ; ccntly formed at the State Norms.1 j College. Superintendent Coon laid ' down the proposition that the ques- , tion of education in North Carolina is j a question of religion and stated that when he preached this doctrine he i remembered that the people of North ( Carolina believed in a hell of fire and brimstone. "If there is a hell for the . man in North Carolina who gets drunk ; and beats his wife," he said "there i3 ; surely a hell for the men and women who don't educate tueir children, but ' permit them to grow up for the chain- gang and the penitentiary. If folks can build churches in North Caro- . Una. why can t they ouiid scnooi houses? It is a strange proceeding to , leave a child to just grow up until he : or she reaches manhood or woman ' hood and then-hold a revival over him or her." By way of emphasizing hts remarks, Mr. Coon said the people In Salisburv. some time ago. built a do much to stop the influx of the co'in- try people to the towns. Mr. I'mstead's : speech was one of the most earnest and ; practical made and, was highly com plimented. !

But she crowded down her fear and responded: "Harold, my dearest, you may safe ly trust in me. What have you to tell?" He looked down upon her as she clung to him, and smiled with a bit terness deeper than words. She did not know what it was she said. Some men might affirm that the blow fallen upon him was not so Dad after all with this exquisite face and steady eyes and musical voice his own. Some men! To him it was infinitely worse because the blow must also fall upon her. Nevertueless it was sweet to have her clinging to him and assuring him that he could trust her very sweet. ''Alecia," he said; his voice was per fectly steady now, for his manhood de manded that he should be brave and strong and true to her, "You have been the sweetest of women always.. You are brave, too; and you love me. So far, in our married life, I have given you everything you could de3ire that money cpuldbuy. Now? cannot. X Notable Find In Egypt IVhlcb May Solve a Vexed Question. The history ot the extinct members of the elephant order has always prov ed of interest because of the associa tion of primitive man as a contempo rary of the mammoth. Older elephants than this big furred elephant are known to science, and among them stand out very prominently the masto dons. One of the unsolved points regarding elephant history in the past has been the nature of the links, which on the evolution theory are bound to exist by way of connecting these giant creat ures with their ancestors, says the London Chronicle. Dr. C. W. Andrews has been making a notable find in Egypt, such as may serve to supply the gaps ana to produce the "missing links" in the elephant chain of descent He has found the fossil remains of an animal which, while smaller than the mastodons, is evidently closely re lated to tnem on the one side. Beyond this comes another fossil "find of a still more primitive elephant that takes U3 back in the family history to the hoofed quadrupeds. This last form may come to be regarded as the Doint of departure of the elephant branch of the mammalian tree. The British Mu seum will probably be duly enriched by the exhibition of these primitive typea 01 elephant life.

The district had a total population of 153. and out 01 this there were nine white men ovei 4(1 vsara ot ntrft who could neith-?'- ren.ii nor wrue. iue wiirn ui iuu v thse men were In the same plight lhere was a school population of and the number of pupils enrolled wc 49, the averaee daily attendance dm ing the term being 25. The term which closed a few days ago. con tinued for 86 days. The school was iau?ht by a farmer in the neighbor- f hood for the munificent salary of $2 a month. He had no special training for the work and his general educ tiou lacked a good deal of being ex tensive. The school was conducted In a Ehabbl'y constructed hut, al though In the district there were two neat church buildings. This school. Mi. Coon said, was like unto a grea' many others in North Carolina. He argued that the conditions and sur roundings must be Improved before any perceptible improvement In the educational standarde of the peopl can be noted. Mr. Coon was followed by Prof. J M. Smith, cf Elon College, who gave his experience in dealing with some of the country schools. He spoke of the great necessity for improving the school houses and thir surroundings and urged that tome definite plan be adopted for carrying on the work. State Superintendent Joyner spoke eloquently of the education outlook in North Carolina and expressed the belief that a brighter day was dawn ing. He gave It as his opinion that the three most Important questions in con nection with the public school prob lem in North Carolina were: Improve ment of th school house, consolidation of school districts, and an Increase in the public school fund by local taxa tion. He declared that the rural schoal oroblem was today the great unsettled problem in North Carolina.
