There were three or four reasons

old was padding about the bay in a
canoe She was bareheaded and at

reasoned it out that she was camping
with party on one of the Islands in

Ii was altogether improbable that she

but she unanswered up and down in

him the impression that she was show

fiattered him, and when he saw that,
according TO his standard, she didn't
know the first thing about managing a
canoe, the way to make her acquoint-
ance seemed clear To him. Before he
could launch his canoe she had disap-
penfed but his disappointment was not
TO last long.
At 9 O'Clock he took his station at
the head Of the mill race TO FISH. With
