long been drifting aimlessly, for he
had shipped his oars and from the
center seat leaned forward eagerly,
peering keenly into her face as he
spoke.
AS for her, one could not be sure
whether her manner Of indifference
was born Of coldness or whether the
rigidity OF her features was a mere
mask, concealing emotion racing fleet
through all the courses Of her young
blood, but OF which her femininity
would not permit betrayal.
She leaned back in seeming languor

thought had provided for her comfort
and save that her white and lissome
fingers played increasingly with the
red and white striped cords winch

she did not move. Only when now and
again she raised the downcast lashes
which curtained her dark eyes did this
impatient hoccillatlon cease. Then the
nervous picking Of her madonna fin
gers would grow still and her deep
glance would rest full and unfiinching-

her. There was In this glance, 50

While attending a reception IN his
honor at st. Johns. Newfoundland, in
1860. the Prince OF Wales, now King
Edward VII. Of England, soon left the
oficial circle and danced with the
wives and daughters Of the fishermen.

even to creep to safety toward the
shrouded voice Of the mourning siren.
But she too sank to her seat and was
still. The fog grew denser. Now a
swift rush Of wind rippled the water
and stirred the tiny craft uneasily.
The lake grew voiceful beneath its
sombre mantle Of dull gray and with
a padding tongue licked hungrily the
seams Of the oarless boat. Every
minute the siren sounded to the gloom
its iterant "Hool Hool" The warning
call seemed now farther away. The
girl bent her head but remained un-
tongued.
George rose unsteadily and stood
on trembling legs in the rocking boat.
A third time he spoke her name. There
was the light Of a love-born frenzy in
his blue eyes and he drew his fine
figure upward as one who has formed
a great resolve.
"Falice. 2 he said. you say you love
me. You say you cannot marry be-
cause have no ambitions. You charge
me with Incidence. You even laughed
and said il is untrue the giant sloth
is extinct Well, we viii end It.
Come"
He held out his hand imperiously.
This time the girl looked up. His
manner made his purpose clear.
The wind had risen higher still and
now whistled shrilly about them. The
boat was drifting. Falice looked
straight before her through the breeze
swept alleys Of the fog and across her
face once more fitted that uninter-
pretable shadow Of a smile. SO swiftly
evanescent She held out her hand
to George and put her foot upon the
gunwale as he did his.
"Comel" he cried again-and they
leaped together, hand In hand. The
lines Of his mouth had grown grim
and straight, but the girl. who looked
behind him, hardly could conceal a
tender fearful laughter
AS they splashed furiously into the
rippled lake the breeze swept the light
boat away and instantly its keel
grated upon the beach. A moment. as
they sprang. he had. repentant sought
to stay the girl. but it was too late
They entered the water together-an

With a passionate gesture he drew her
to his arms, there in the ecompassine

resisting. Then she threw her round
arms about bis bent neck and bursi
into hysterical sobbing interleaved
with ribald laughter.
He looked at her ruefully. Then he
