OV(VONOVONONNO VOVNVOSOVONO
There is a certain little inn on the
Thames. quiet, unpretentious little
affair with ivy running all over its low
walls. and a stretch of velvet lawn be-
fore it running down TO the river,
where fussy little launches go whisking
up and down Importantly and gay
young couples loiter along in punts.
Some one had recommended the inn
to Bellingham long ago, and in his
present state of mind It seemed to him
the very place TO hide from the world
until his heartache was over-the very
place in which TO think it all over and
adjust himself TO the new conditions
In which Katherine had no part.
Therefore. as soon as his baggage
was released by the custom house, he
sought the little inn on the Thames, en-
gagged rooms for two months, and pre-
pared 10 blot the memory of certain
young woman in New York from his
mind, II such q thing were possible.

Some two hours passed pleasantly
before they went out for the pole

and cushions into the girls punt and

naively.
Il say" Bellingham proposed, "let':
form a mutual consolation society and
have tea again here tomorrow after
noon"
"All right. Agreed" she laughed as
she started up the stream.
During the following weeks Belling
ham left the striped awnings on the
lawn to the other guests. He spent
most Of his time at certain patch OF
willows on the banks of the river
where there were cushions and book;
and tea-and pretty girl. He learned
TO pole n punt with something ap
preaching the English skill. and they
poked about the stream discovering
other quiet hooks. The pain in hi:
heart was. considerably lesSened, and
certain. disturbing memories ceased tc
disturb him longer.
The two months slipped past and tht
time of his return drew near. The aft
ernoon before lis departure they were
on the river together, Bellingham pol
ing and the girl penslvely silent. The
punt drew up TO the willows on the
bank where he had first seen her.
Il hate the idea Of breaking up this
society for mutual consolation" said
he. It's been wonderfully successful
as far as l am concerned. 1 wish il
might continue"
For about how long?" she asked
archly.
Forever" said he fatty.
She rose and abstractedly broke off g
piece Of the low hanging willow
branch. He noticed that her hand:
trembled.

the vista of green meadows. whats te

loosen it, The punt careened danger
ously. 1t was a case Of letting go the
pole or getting a spill Bellingham
chose the lesser evil. The pole was left
sticking upright in the water as the
punt drifted away from it.
Bellingham looked about him help
lessly. As he did so he heard a laugh
ing hail from the bank and. turning.
saw young woman just stepping into
punt beneath the willows. She poled
out to him skillfully and brought her
punt alongside his helpless craft.
Just catch the gunwale of my punt
and I'll have you ashore In a moment"
she said.
Thanks" said Bellingham, doing as
he was hidden. IT'S very good Of
you"
Il wouldn't have come out II I hadn't
recognized fellow countryman in dis
tress," she laughed. 1T really isn't as
easy as it looks, is iti"
1--WE discovered it isn't" said he
ruefully. Very kind Of you to give
me this assistance. 1t was a decidedly
awkward fix l was in"
They had reached the willows on the
bank, and Bellingham helped her
ashore. 1t was coy spot. Books
and cushions lay against the trees and
a spirit kettle blazed away cheerfully
on a fat stone.
You might tie your punt here, and
then I'll take you out to your POLE"
she suggested.
Bellingham's eyes were resting with
no uncertain meaning on the spirit
kettle.
Perhaps you'd like a cup Of tea
first" she said. 81 suppose, since we're
fellow Americans, formalities may be
overlooked, Mr.
"Bellinghan." he supplemented.
I'm Miss Holt" abe said, "and i'm

Beilingham bowed. quite correct,
he laughed. And, thanks. I will delay
long enough for the tea"
They made themselves comfortable
on the bank, and while they drank ties
and nibbled thin biscuits they chatted
gsyly. Bellingham was surprised Il
