An, Iuat is easy 10 understands SnS
said My mother camo from Aries"
She was French, them" he en-
ella ed with some surprise,
No. she answered sravely. she
was Norwegian, because her father
anG mother both were OF this land,
You must not ask me any more about
her, please."
Errington apologized at once with
some embarrassment, and Il deeper
cc.ol ttar usual on his face. ShH
Il ked up at HIM quite frankly,
lit is possible | will tell you her his
I, rH scme cay" she said when We
81 ali know each other better, do
like to talk to you very mCoh' l sup
pose there are many Englishmen like
you?"
Philip lauated. Il don't think am
at all exceptional! Why 10 yol ask"
She shrugged her shoulders. Il
have seen some of them" she said
slowly, "aLC they are stupid. They
shoot, shoot FISH, fish, all day, and
eat great deal,...."
MY dear Miss Guldmar, | also do
al these things!' declared Errington
amusedly. These are only our surface
| faults. EngliShmon are the best fell
lows to be found anywhere. You
mustn't judge them by their athletic
aro rts or their vulgar appetites. You
lnIst appeal to their hearts when YOU
want to know them"
"Or to their pockets, and you will
know them still better!" said Thelma
almost mischievously as she raised
herself in her chair to take a cup of
&C flee from the tray that was then be-
ing handed to her by the respectable
steward. "Ah, how good this is! 1t
reminds me of our coffee at Arles."
Errington watched her with half
smile, but said no more, as the others
now came up to claim their share of
her company.
Il say!" said Lorimer, lazily throw
! ing himself full length on the deck and
| looking up at her, come and see us
spear a salmon tomorrow, Miss Guild
mar! Your father is going to show us
how to do it in the Morse style"
THAT is for men" said Thelma
loftily. women must know nothing
about such things"
by Jove!" and Lorimer looked pro-
| foundly astonished, why, Miss Guild
mar women are going in for every
thing nowadays! Hunting, shooting,
lull-hghttne, duelling, horsewhipping,
! lccturing. heaven knows what! They
stop at nothing salmon-spoarlng is Il
mere trihe in the list of modern fem
| mime accomplishments"
| Thelma smiled down upon him be-
nignly. You will always be the
same" she said with sort of indul-
sent air. 1T is your delight to say
things upside down! But you shat not
make me believe that women do all
these dreadful things. Because how
is it possible? The men would not
allow them!"
| Errington laughed, and l.orimer APP
peared stupehed with surprise
The men--would-not allow
them?" he repeated slowly. ooh, Miss
Guldmar, little do you realize the state
I of things at the present day! The gla
NOR of Viking memories cings about
you still! Don't you know the power
of man has passed away, and that the
ladies do exactly as they like? 1t Is
easier to control the thunderbolt than
to prevent woman having her own
way"
"All that is NONSENSE" said Thelma
decidedly Where there is man to
rule he must rule, that is certain"
as that positively your opinion?'
and LCrimer looked more astonished
than ever.
1T is eyerybody's opinion, of
counsel" averred II elma. How fool
ish it would be if women did not obey
men! The world would be all conf,l-
sion! All, you see you cannot make
me think your funny thoughts 1t is no
use!" And she laughed and rose from
her chair, adding with gentle persua-
sive air, Father dear, is it not time
to say goodbye
Truly think it isl" returned Guild
mar, giving himself a shake like an
old lion, as he broke off a rather tedi-
GUS conversation he had been having
with Macfarlane. I'VE shall have
Sigurd coming to look for u.s. and poor
Britta will think we have left Ter too
long alone. Thank you, my lad," this
to Sir Philip, who instantly gave or
ders for the boat to be lowered "You
rave given us day OF thorough,
WI olesome enjoyment hope shall
be able to return 1t in some way. You
must let us see as much of you as
possible"
They shook hands cordially, and Err
rington proposed to escort them back
as far as their own pier, but this offer
Guldmar refused.
Nonsense" he exclaimed cheerily.
With four oarsmen to row us along.
why should we take you away from
your friends? won't hear Of such a
thing! And now, regarding the great
fall of Njedegorze; Mr.. Mncfarlane
here says you have not visited n yet.
Well, the best guide you can have
