Them was an office -boy, and if the

there was a commissionaire downstairs,
and failing him there was still a dis-

elected to take the note himself, and
leave the oftice-boy in chargo. And,
moreover. instead of going straight lo
the links when he reached Surbiton,
where it was ten to one his employer
we. to be found, he went fleet to Mr.
Cumberledge's house.
"I want to see Miss Cumberledge," he
told the maid.

explaining that he must see him at

That restless pulse of the ocean, the
Ude, works wonders everywhere, but,

it ntiains its greatest height, its mani-
festations ere the most varied. Here is

Into this bay ihe sea pours twice every
twenty-four hours an immense volume
of Water. Theoretically there aro four
tides a day, the moon and the sun ante-
ing Iwo titles each. But the solar tides
are so much lower than the lunar and
so largely merged in them that they
escape notice. '
Twice a month, however, the moon
and the sun pull together, resulting in
the unusually high spring tides. When
the pull of the sun is at right angles
lo that of the moon, at the first tiod
third quarter of' the moon, the neap
tides, which aro always low, occur.
