flashed past him in a canoe while he
lay on the bank smoking his pipe.
Their quest continued for days, each
man thinking to achieve an encounter
by seeking his ~enchantress where he
had seen her once. But they did not
find her until together they met her at
an informal hop at the big hotel on the
hill.
From that moment they were rivals,
and each one knew 1t instinctively,
though not a word was spoken. The
old comradeship was as II 1t never a
been. A woman had come between
them, and neither man realized how
bitter his jealousy was till they had
leaped into their canoes to paddle to
the rescue of that woman.
Mrs. Starleigh did not care which one
should win Irene Campbell when she
had undertaken to chaperon that young
woman for the ummer. She had vowe'
secretly, however, being a born match
maker, to see her fair charge matri-
monially disposed of before the season
should end. Either one of the young
men seemed desirable In her eyes, and
she vas willing to encourage 10Th In
the hope that one would succeed.
When, therefore, both men entreated
her to bring a party Of girls over to
their camp for a picnic she understood
and made the engagement readily.
The day had proved to be a perfect
one, and the party started in the high
est spirits. They were already waving
salutes to their hosts when the crash
came.

So Morton knew his fate. That night,
while they were smoking their last
pipe he said to Carruthers: "Goodby,
Jim. I'm off in the morning. lot ma.

can't forget the blow l struck my best

The Blow That
ReCOiled
By CHARLES A. JOHNSON

There was small margin of difference
between the two men, so far as eyes
could see, al they threw off their coats
and sprang each to his own canoe.
Their paddles flashed into and out of
the water, sending the frail crafts over
the smooth surface of the lake at re-
markable speed. Neither one gained
appreciably on the other, though they
were racing with intense rivalry.
AS they had sat in front of their tent
awaiting the arrival Of the merry
launching party from across the lake.
they had witnessed an accident which,
even without the added incentive Of
rivalry, made each man strain his
every nerve to reach the goal. The
launch had struck on a rock beside the
narrow channel and, careening sud
denly on her side, had filled and gone
down.
Harry Morton and Jim Carruthers
were not men who could see women
drown without drowning with them.
But, as they padded, each mans heart

struggling group, and they loved the
same
This love was born, as owe some
times is, ia the idle time OF a summer
holiday. They had gone to the lake
for rest, each mar fancy free. Sworn
comrades, they had even laughed at
love and planned to live as they were,
fond Of the same things and looking
for no deeper interest than they found
in each other and In mutual pleasures.
: But before the first week In camp
was oye Morton had developed a hith-
erto undiscovered fondness for walk
ing, and for hours at a time he was ab-
sent from camp. Carruthers had about
the same time found himself to be de-
voted to canoeing, but neither Of the
men said much to the other about his
newly discovered pastime. In truth,
Morton sought a dryad whom he had
