the danger there had been, Idle, was
strangely moved and lightheaded, but

legged, very quiet chap from Maine, who
never went into society, hated young
4 ladies, had a rooted dislike of southerners,
and regarded women who fiirt as no better
than traitors to their sex. We called him
Billy Car-what his middle name and
family Were did not know-but except
for prejudices of this kind he was as much
liked, by those who knew him intimately,
as any man l have met. Well, Billy Carr
and ldita kept looking at each other in a
curious way, and finally Tommy Moore
spoke, rather hoarsely:
BILLY, You saved my life just now"
ooh, that : all right"

l told her you were VIGOROUSLY dissipated;
that you never went anywhere because
people wouldn't receive you. 1t was u

VIII you forgive Inc. Billy"
Carr held out his hand, but Idita burst
into tears
Il never, never will forgive you, Mr.
M-M-AIoore, never!" And she wept and
sobbed as if her heart would break.
l tiptoed away reckoning Tommy to
follow, as the fire was now started and
there was nothing else to do. We went
down to the canoe in silence; in silence we
padded to Bar Harbor; in silence l took
