THE SECRET OF STEEPLE ROCKS

STEEPLE ROCKS

"Are you satisfied, Beth?"

"Yes, Beth; I'm not myself at all. Here,--take these and look at those towering rocks with them." Sarita Moore handed her fine glasses, all shining and new, to the older girl, who directed them toward a distant pile of rocks. There two rose high, irregularly decreasing in circumference, and at this distance apparently pointed at their tops. Below them massed the other rocks of the dark headland.

Elizabeth looked long and steadily. "Steeple Rocks!" she murmured. "I wish that I owned them! But I would give them a better name. I'd call them Cathedral Rocks. Doesn't the whole mass make you think of the cathedrals,--the cathedrals that you and I are going to see some day, Leslie?"

"Yes, child. Who could help being happy here? Look at that ocean, stretching out and away--into eternity, I think,--and the clouds--and the pounding of the surf. Think, girls! It's going to put us to sleep to-night!"

"Unless it keeps us awake," suggested Leslie, "but I'm all lifted out of myself, too, Beth. Imagine being here all summer! Look at Dal, Sarita."
