brought her little craft beside my
pipe, which she deftly caugiit on the
paddle blade and tossed to the wharf.
"Perhaps you can pipe a tune upon
It," she said, dipping the paddle.
"Y'.u put me under great obliga-
tions," I declared. "Are all the girls
at St. Agatha's as amiable?"
"I shouldn't say so! I'm a great ex-
ception,—and—I really shouldn't be
talking to you at all! It's against the
rules! And we don't encourage smok-
ing."
"The chaplain doesn't smoke, I sup-
pose."
"Not In chapel; I believe it isn't
done! And we rarely see him any-
where else."
She had idled with the paddle so
CHAPTER VI.—Continued.
I turned to siand face to face with
the girl in the red tam-o'-shanter.
"1 beg your pardon," I said, stepping
away from the canoe.
She did not wear the covert coat of
the morning, but a red knit jacket, but-
toned tight about her. She was young
with every emphasis of youth. A pair
of dar.; blue eyes examined me with
good-humored curiosity. She was on
good terms with the sun—I rejoiced in
the brown of her cheeks, so eloquent
of companionship with the outdoor
world—a certificate indeed of the fa-
vor of Heaven. Show me, in October,
a girl with a face of tan, whose hand.;
have plied a paddle or driven a golf-
ball or cast a fly t>eneath the blue
arches of summer, and I will sufTer
her scorn In joy. She may vote me
dull and refute my wisest word with
laughter, for hers are the privileges of
the sisterhood of Diana; and that soft
bronze, those daring fugitive freckles
beneath her eyes, link her to times
when Pan whistled upon his reed and
all the days were long.
Her rubber-soled outing shoes had
made possible her silent approach, and
she enjoyed, I was sure, my discom-
fiture at being taken unawares.
I had snatched off my cap and stood
waiting beside the canoe, feeling, I
must admit, a trifle guilty, at being
caught in the unwarrantable inspection
of another person's property—particu-
larly a person so wholly pleasing to
the eye.
"I believe—I believe that is my pad-
dle," she said, a little timidly I thought,
and yet with definiteness.
I looked down and found to my an-
noyance that I held her paddle in my
hand.—was in fact leaning upon it
with a cool air of proprietorship.
"Again, I beg your pardon," I said.
"I hadn't expected—"
. She eyed me calmly, with, the stare
of the child that arrives at a drawing-
room door by mistake and scrutinizes
the guests without awe. I didn't know
what I had expected or had not expect-
ed, and she manifested no intention of
Helping me to' explain. Her short skirt
suggested 15 or It?—not more—and
'sucn being the case there was no rea-
son why I should not be master of the
situation. As I fumbled my pipe the
hot coals of tobacco Burned my hand
and I cast the thing from me.
She laughed a little, then caught
herself and gravely watched the pipe
bound from the dock into the water.
"Too bad!" she said, her eyes upon
it; "but if you hurry you may get it
before it float*. away."
"Thank you for the suggestion," I
said. But I did not relish the idea of far [jUt now _

I hate myself to this day for having

drooped into the water with a splash;

with wonder and dismay in her eyes.

To Be Fat, Drink Chocolate
In an obscure but picturesque lit-
