Miss Eleanor Haskell-the one he had

flashing poles. He shrank farther back
into the shadow of the shrubbery. She
was tall, stately and dark as of old,
and the peculiar feeling of mingled ad-
miratlon and fear came back to him
Neither he nor the girl beside him
stirred. He felt sure she was watching
him, and he waited. The party called
to the dark girl, and she finally turned
away. They heard her say calmly, un-
emotlonally: Yes, it is rather good.
