freshments which the ladies of the party
had provided.
We will take occasion to say that Rennie
McNor formed one of this party, but, for
some unknown reason, Angus Tolland was
not among them, Notwithstanding he most
invariably constituted one in their parties
of amusement but whether he was sick, or
what other cause intervened to prevent his
going, is not known. But to the party in
the boat; after sailing about on the lake
till about one o'clock, they steerel for a
wooded knoll at the western extremity OF
the lake. Rennies escort on this occasion
was young man named Ritter Lindesford,
the son of wealthy farmer in the neighbor-
hood, who had just graduated from one OF
the New England colleges Angus had
watched him in his strict attentions to Ren-
ME with jealous eye, yet he did not allow
that green-eyed monster to find a place in
his heart.
On nearing the shore the ilii,ler of the
boat struck the branch of fallen tree and
was completely torn off, on which the shall
|
in one minute from the time her ruddcr
struck she was keel upwarl and her human
cargo struggling in the water. Ritter Lin
desford grasped Rcnnie by the waist and
bore her triumphantly to the shore, and so
with four of the Others, but one of the party
unfortunately could not swim, and had it
not been for the heroic eXert0ns of Ritter
Lindcsfurd and another of the party, he,
and the lady he escorted, would have been
drowned When all had got safely to shore
the gentlemen Of the party went in and got
the boat upright, again moo,cd her to the
shore, got the ladies' on board again, and set
sail ON their return, wet and hungry-their
provisions being all lost when the boat
upset.
The news of this adventure soon spread
over the neighborhood with all the false
coloring that romance could give IL. Angus
Tolland heard these glowing reports of the
heroic character of his rival and OF his put
ting his own life in jeopardy to save that Of
Rcnnie McNor. He listened to these en-
comiums upon Lindesford's noble conduct
till his heart grew sick. Why could it not
have been his fortunate lot to save the life
of one for whom he would willingly ven
gladly lay down his own? Why was an
other permitted to snatch from his lips tie
golden chalicc whose contents he coveted al
mucb ? Rut so II was and what oon,d bo
do but how to the DEGREES of fate. thonol
hard it seemed they bore unon him.
