"Yes, it is interesting work. It will 'be

"Yoa were here then?" she asked.
Jack ehifted his hand, the plan, curl-

to find some difficulty in setting it out
etraight again.
"Oh, I've heard all about It," he said,
eareleselY.
"I suppose the Withycombe jetty
could be altered, built like this?" she
asked.
"Oh. Yee," lee replied. "It would cost
a great deal of money -were you
thinking of doing it, Miss Bramley?'
Clytle ehook her head and eighed.
"No," ohe said, gravely, a little wiot-
flillY; he could not tell him she was
oily a caretaker of the property;
that the proper person to Improve
Withycombe jetty or any other part
of the 13E8.11110y estate was Sir Wilfred
Carton, who probably would have no
desire to do so.
"Ah, well, if you should, it would be
a good thing te run the jetty out a
bit farther than it is; there is seaNely
room for the boats M the wild wea-
ther, That le what I mean." He made
a rough sketch on the back of the
plan, "Like that. It would be a boon
to the men."
"You .draw very well," said Clytie;
then she laughed, "My sister called
you the Admirable Crichton," •
"Oh!" said Jack. "Never heard of
him," And he had not; for he had
been too busily engaged at playing at
Jack of all trades to heve time for
books.
Clytie colored slightly. It was not
the first time she had forgotten. that
she was hot talking to an equal,
"He was a man who did everything,
and did it well," she said.
Jack laughed. ,"riliss Mollie was out

He leaned against the wall, looking
out to sea, but thinking of the girl by
his side, so near to him and yet so
far away! He had seen her, spoken
to her, nearly every day for the last
three weeks, and he was conscious
with a conscieugness agaiest which he
fought, that he liked seeing her,, talk-
ing to her; better still, hearing her
speak. When she mune in sight some-

end amazing, hoW well he knew - its
eyery.expression; the slight, wistful
curve of the lips, the trick of the
etreightening brows, the steady, direct
geze of the beautiful eyes, the smile
which lit up the rather sad face as
the sunlight shimmers on a summer
bea. And her voice -surely it was the
most musical, the sweetest ever owned

SOlitude, ttp in the woods, on the

"I'm keeping you front your book,

"No, thanks," she answered.
He glanced at his watch.
"1 have to take the boat to the
.Head," he said, nodding at the pro-
Montory. "Would you -do you care
to come?"
She lookee seaward.
"Yes, I think I should," she said. e1

As they reached the shed, she
called:
"I'm ping intolhe boat, Will you
come, Mollie?"
Mollie shook her heed; she was sit-
,
ting on a log with the big stone for a
back, with her arms round her knees..
"No, indeed. Lord Stanton is tell-
ing me of all the wonderful things he
did at Oxford, and I haven't the
heart to ship hint You go, Clytie."
Clytie hesitated a moment or two,
then followed Jack -to the beach.
CHAPTER, XIV,
There Was a fair wind for them, and
Jack put up the sail and was making
a comfortable place in the bottom 62:
the boat for Clyde, when she said: ,
"I will take the tiller, so that you
can look after the sail."
She had never before offered to
steer, but he piled the cushions on the
stern and gave her the tiller, and she
put her arra over it In good, nautical
fashion'and kept her eye on the wind.
"Yo nay emoke if you Wish," she
said, and Jack, with a respectful

was almost touching her -filled him
'with a happiness which was not per-

every now and then he glanced at her
as if She were a necessary part of the
'beauty of the multicolored coast the
opaline sea.
"What are you going to do at the
Head?" she asked, after a rather long
silenee, 'during which his mind was
dwelling on the ever absorbing mar-
vel of the change which had been
wrought in her, the change from the
gawky girlhood -and yet, no, he told

He had not been thinking of the
weather, but he glanced round him
now, and he saw a bank of clouds
which had mysteriously risen in the
southweat, and as he let down the sail
he felt the wind come in a sudden
puff.

and began climbing to a 'narrow ridge

felt alettle jar of fear.
"You are not going any higher?"
she called. "That sandstone is very
treacherous."
"No, no," be called back, and he
descended quickly.; he had cast an eye
seaward, and saw, more plainly than
he had seen while in the boat, that the
bank of clouds was rising svaiftly, and
that One of these sudden changes of

"It will do," he said, as he put the
boat off. "It will save us a tong

He ran up the sail and they started
on the home track; but they had not
got very far before the sky was dark-
ened, the wind began to eurke itself
heard, and the first dea'sh of rain
swished across. them.
He glanced at Clytie, noticed that
the pretty dress, which had filled him
with ndmiration and. delight an hour
ago, afforded very insufficient protec-

Bourgeois and Proletarian,
The word bourgeois is the old
French word for a citizen of a bourg,
or city; we have the -same word in
English, as burgher, says the Youth's'
Conapeuioh. Originally it distingulehed
the town dweller from the nble who
the town 'dweller from the noble, who
dwelt in the hamlet among the fields.
Then, since the bourgeois was likely
to be a tradesman or a craftsman the
word came to have that -meaning, too.
As a noun it deseribes the thrlftY,
industrlous mei:niter of the mereantile
or manufacturing Classes; as an ad-
jective, it described the qualities, the,
etandarde and the characteristics ot
those classes. In tne most modern
sense ,of all -that employed by tete
Socialist writers who take their Cue

mean those who have aectimulated'

them Is attaehed, by a slender fila-
ment, which serves the purpose of a
Ile, a bait in the form ot a shiny
bit of mentbraue. The hooks are set
in the mouth of the fisherman be-
low, and in order to induce the fish
to venture within reach of them, the
angler stirs up the mud at the bottom
with his fins and tail. This attracts
the fish and conceals him from their
observation. He then plies his rod;
the glittering bait glows in the water
like a living insect.. The dazed fish
are taken in great numbers, perfectly
circumvented by the trick of the
crafty, angler.

HKR AGE.
It All Depends On the 'Woman
Herself.
Take two women. In equal eireurce
stances, with as equal amount of re-
SperenbtlitY to bear, and ot an equal
age -say, 30 year. Why diees the
first impress one as "on the shelf,"
so to speak? She is "settled" in fi.
glare, manner and outlook, and her
face, though not old, has still lost its
Hush of yooth-its pulsating quality of
expectation. -
The second, though the game age,
has the slim boyish lines of a girl in
her 'teens, her warmer te so alive -so
expectant, and her face aglew with
youth.
One unconsciously never considere
her age, so strong is the impression
of merely the beginning or things, -
she seems alWaYs On the threshold oe
life. She looks almost in e different
different generation from the first
.woman. Yet the eause of this differ-
enee has lathing to do whatner with'
the brand of her favorite face cream
-nor her preference in the matter of
face pewder! Her mind is the real
fountain of her youth ,and bids fair
to stay so indefinitely, Her thoughts
-are young thoughts. They belong to
morning, not dusk. She has the glam-
orous trusting outlook that belongs to
youth. She'has warm young impulses,
young enthuslasme, young interests.
She never invites Father Time by
thinking .or or fearing him. To bee
he simply doesn't exist.•
But how different are the thoughts
and the spirit of the first woman. To
begin with, she remembers weeks
ahead the coming of each new birth-
day. And each time she says to her-
self, "I'm a year oldek-before long
I'll be forty!" So lookieg forward to
