lay on the bank smoking his pipe.
Their quest coutir.-ed 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 ut the big hotel on the
hill.
From that moment they were rivals.
and each one knew it instinctively,
though not word was spoken The
odd comradeship was as if it never had
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. Starlight did not care which one
should win Irene Campbell when she
had undertaken to chnperon that young
woman for the summer. She had vow Ell

should end. Either one of the young
men seemed desirable in her eyes, and
she was willing to encourage both in
the hope that one would succeed.
When, therefore, both men entreated
her to bring a party OF girls over Ito
their camp for picnic she understood
and made the engagement readily.
The day had proved to be perfect
one, and the party started In the high
