simply, but his eyes we're on the
Soman's face.
She flushed angrily. Don't be stupid
and commonplace"
He turned his face from her and
looked over the water, where, through
an opening in the woods, the broad
glimmering river could be seen, the
mountains towering majestically he
yond. Some familiar verses came into
his head:
And on her lovers arm she leant.
And round her waist she felt il fold,
And far across the hills they went
In that new world which is the old.
But he did not repeat them to Dorothy;
she would laugh at such display oil
sentiment. Arnold took off his hat
fiinging it into the bow of the boat.
II uncover my head in the preseD ce OF
your enthusiasm His voice was very
hooking, but it changed again to its
usual serious tone. Perhaps you do
not know, dear. that / grew up on the
river. Not nook or eddy or creek that
I do not know by heart. And / love
every turn of il, but it is too much a
part of me to excite any special demon
stration. As a boy l spent whole
days drifting about, conjuring up
visions OF the old PATRONS who rode the
waters in high disdain and lived like
lords in the stately manor houses along
the river banks. Sometimes ] built air
castles, too. Foolish day dreams, you
would call them. and l have not alto
gether gwen up the habit yet"
"Were you not relying just little on
the environment, dear man, when you
brought me here today" Miss Kent
laughed softly. Il see through your
articles; big. honest men like you
are as transparent as glass. "She
pushed away the cushions on which she
had been lying and sat up in the boat.
"Give me an oar, this minute she de-
manded, "two oars-and / want your
seat. II don't do something / shall
grow sentimental! There is nothing
like work to give one balance! Pull me
up, Mr.. Arnold!'
But the man did not move from his
seat, and leaning forward he laid one
hand on her shoulder. at is not nee
essary that you should resort to such
desperate means OF killing sentiment. l
wish for once you would give way to it.
Why he added bitterly, do you al
ways crush your better impulses-you
who are so keenly alive to everything
that is beautiful? Oh, my dear. my
dear, do you not know how sweet you
could make life for
For any man. il tried?" she inter
rupted fiippantly.
Arnold drew back as il she had struck
him. "You may finish it as you like"
Mise Kent pulled herself upon her
knees, bringing herself on level with
he man who sat facing her. Then she
took his face in her hands.
Il don't like to be nasty,"-her voice
was childishly penitent / am
going to kiss you, as sign of truce. il
you will be very good and sit quite
still" In her sudden change OF mood
she was all tenderness. She put her
face up close to Arnold's. ''Oh, shut
your eyes, dear; could not bear the
humiliation Of having you see me do it!
She brushed his cheek lightly, but al
the touch Of her lips Arnold dropped
the oars and flung his arms about her
drawing her close. He made no attempt
to kiss her in return, fearing he should
brighten her into the garb Of cynicisu
which she habitually wore. Having
