Yes, Mr.. Gushing, it's all settled at
| last. The landlord just informed me
| that arrangements had been finally
| completed for holding a regatta the
| last of the week. and, do you know
| told Mr. Lewis to enter us in the
mixed doubles-you and l."
Miss Van COurtlandt paused, for
! Winfred Cushing was looking at her
| ir manner that puzzled her exceed
| ingly. There was q strange light in
the young mans eyes. a light such as
she had never seen there before, ard
she wondered what it meant until he
| spoke.
Il thought you expressed your in
tontion OF competing in the ladies' sim
giles provided the event came OFF,"
but, Mr.. Gushing. with whom would
I compete? Surely not with Miss Walsh
or any of the Oakland people I don't
think YOU would really enjoy such rae
ing-now would YOU"
"A sort Of procession. ch?" he mus
inGlv replied. However. the young
ladies should do everything possible to
| fill the lists and make the regatta Il
perfect success. certainly trust you
will"
"Oh, | will gladly enter for the sin
/ gles,' she interrupted, without pausing
to note the conclusion of his remarks.
But remember. it is agreed that YOU
will paddle with me in the mixed dou-
| hles,' and Gushing laughed softly at
her sclf-assurance as she rose to leave
| him for q moment.
Then his flashing gray eyes sobered
with a mellow light, for his thoughts
wandered to q certain bronze trimmed
| l..
under the shelter of the big pine at
RusSell's point. and he resolved that
on the following day he would learn if
possible who was the owner of the
pretty craft.
They danced until 4 late hour that
night and Winfred Cushing dreamed of
an enchanting face ana Il hewitching
smile which seemed to glide before HIM
constantly, Il mentor leading him on
He awohc late on the following morn
inG With a ringing headache, ami after
having partaken OF a cup Of strong
coffee he launched his canoe and set
out for q quick turn up the lake
The morning was clear and bright
and a fresh breeze from the west caused
The dancing waves TO sparkle around
his flashing blade as he sent the light
craft swiftly beneath the shelter of a
rocky leo shore
