 sF@st.Not today" I exclaimed aghast turning my eyes from the blazing sun shine outside, which indicated proba- ble temperature of somewhere in the nineties before noon, to the cool inte- rior of my own room. where we sat.
 This very day" she answered, look ing solemnly at me, with her big blue eyes, and then continued nonchalantly "Hot, isn't it?" as she brushed the damp curls from her forehead and wiped her face with the bit of em- broidery she calls handkerchief
 Her calmness irritated me, for I knew there was some secret in the wind--a secret should never know from her, at least--so long as she could maintain that air of perfect coolness.
 "Do you take me for salamander ?' I demanded somewhat sharply, and threw myself on the lounge while De- ris continued to rock back and forth with that air of perfect self confidence which is so exasperating in another person. She made no answer to this attack, and began to turn over in my mind all the incidents likely to bear in any way on the situation, or to give even a clew to Doris unwonted energy There was Frank--but the idea of a quarrel was preposterous, for they had been perfectly friendly, and more, at the sailing party two nights before.

 Well, we'll ride, of course" a little hurriedly, "but I must go, Gray, and I don't want to ask any of the other girls. They are all so curious-do go with me- The indifference was fast disappearing, and Doris face assumed the wistful expression no one can withstand long, so with a sort of un- comfortable feeling in my cheeks over that allusion to undue curiosity, I slipped out of my comfortable wrapper and began to don the ever proper shirt waist and skirt.
 "Why didn't you come down yester- day evening"" I asked, by way of mak- ing conversation, as Doris turned her parasol round and round on her lap and gazed thoughtfully out of the win dow.
