Marvin" she said as II entirely uncon-
sclous Of a double meaning. The poor
fellow gasped. for he saw the chance
10 make the Idea OF cumming lead up
10 a remark involving their cumming
together for life. But the very thought
Il being 50 daring put him in funk.
Lcona looked at him innOcently. then
with satisfied smile at the struggle In
his mind that was making itself so ev-
idcnt ON his blushing face sank back
contentedly. among the cushions.
Again the silence fell. and Marvin
kept his eve seaward like an able sea
man. though not like the host OF so
pretty a guest. Leona looked at him
from time TO time and smiled mischie-
vously. for she knew that whenever she
liked she could torment him again. as
she had often done In the past. He had
made nj least a dozen futile attempts
to propose to her and had been pre-
vented by his bashfulness. On each oc-
casion she could have helped him out
and enabled him TO speak the momen-
tous words, but IL was too much fun TO
be free. and. though she had always In
tended accepting him in the end, she
could not help putting OFF the hour OF
capituation as long as he showed no
evidence of trying to escape. or course
he had run away from her after every
attempt TO propose. but he always came
back. He seemed to move around heI
in much the same way as comet goes
around the sun. He would approach
with ever increasing velocity, just miss
| embracing and then whirl off In the op
posite direction on an orbit Of wonder
full extent.
after he has gone around the globt
on one of his runaway trips I'll take
pity on him and help him out" Leons
confessed to her mother. And in spit
of her cruelty she cared for him al
much as he did for her and had no In
tention Of losing him, but 1t is true sh'
would much prefer having him do al
the proposing himself.
Leona was quite comfortable amonl
her cushions, and 1t was no small pleas
ure to her to sit and watch the youni
giant who kept himself so busy witt
the sail and tiller But she made up he
mind that she would not speak agai
until he did. They were almost at tn
fishing grounds before the silence wa
broken, and then he remarked:
I'm going to throw out line now
Do you care to do the fishingf"
Anything to pass the time,' she sal
somewhat viciously, for she was tire
of the long silence.
He unrolled the line, tied one end 0
it to hook in the gunwale and droI
