We might inquire.” There was silence in the library for a space of 20 seconds. Then Cynthia said, “Ninety-nine years is rather a long time.” “Yes,” I agreed. “If we talk hr.ru the whole time, wo shall have said a great deal. ” “I think we might allow eallerp. ” It relieved me to hear her say so, but I clung to tho original proposition as long as I eould. “Wo might be at homo,” I said, “on Wednesdays. ” “To the officers from the barracks.” “And the charming Miss Can others.” “Unless they stepped the night,” ' meditated Cynthia, “I don’t sec how they could admin* the Crown Derby dinnir service Uncle Jeseph sent us.” There was not a suspicion of iuter- ; rnption about, either at tlie door or at tho window. We heard not so much as a furtive rustle in the passage, and our distaste for the rest of the world was ebbing away. With Cynthia’s pretty head resting upon my shoulder I some how had the patriotism to feel that England was good enough for even so absorbed a couple as ourselves. “I am not,” she whisper'd in my ear, “very good in a boat, you know. I don’t always look my best.” “There are not many islands attached to the mainland, I am afraid,” I an swered. Then we looked at each other and laughed aimlessly, but happily. “The island problem,” said Cynthia, : “is more difficult—not that I do not I care for you tremendously; still it is mere difficult than I thought.” “I am devoted to you,” was my gal lant answer, “but I am prepar'd to treat th" Robinson Crusoe qu 'stiou like other riddles.” “How do you mean?” she asked. “To give it up,” I replied.—St. James Budget.
