My unpardonable fling at the girl still ranked: and was cold from the quick descent of the night chill on the water and anxious to get into some comfortable clothes. Once on the sec. end floor was sure of the location of my room. and I was feeling my way toward it over the rough floor when I heard low voices rising apparently from my sittinsroom.
 It was pitch dark in the hall. I stopped short and listened The door of my room was open and faint light flashed once into the hall and dlsap. peared- l heard now a sound as of a hammer tapping upon woodwork.
 Then 1t ceased. and a voice vhis- pered:
 Hell kIll me if he finds me here. I'll try again tomorrow I swear to God I'll help you. but no more now
 Then the sound of a scufse and again the tapping of the hammer. After several minutes more of this there was a whispered dialogue which I could not hear.

 "A case for surgery, I'm afraid. A truly gordian knot, but I haven't my | knife."
 "Oh, but you wouldn't" she ex- claimed. T think can manage" She bent down. was aware that the sleeve of her jacket brushed my shoulder-seized an end that had ignored, gave it sharp tug with a slim, brown hand and pulled the knot free.
 "There!" she exclaimed with little laugh; T might have saved you all the bother"
 How dull of me! But didn't have the combination" said, steadying the canoe carefully to mitigate the ignom- iny of my failure.
 She scorned the hand I extended, but embarked with light, confident step and took the paddle. It was grow ing late. The shadows in the wood were deepening; chill crept over the water, and, beyond the tower of the chapel. the sky was bright with the glory of sunset.
 With few skillful strokes she brought her little craft beside my pipe, which she deftly caught on the paddle blade and tossed to the wharf.
 Perhaps you can pipe tune upon It," she said. dipping the paddle.
 You put me under great obliga- tions." I declared. Are all the girls at St. Agatha's as amiable?"
 T shouldn't say so! I'm a great ex- ception,-and-I really shouldn't be talking to you at all! It's against the rules! And we don't encourage smok- ing"
 The chaplain doesn't smoke, I sup. pose"
 Not in chapel; I believe 1t isn't done! And we rarely see him any where else"
 She had idled with the paddle so far, but now she lifted her eyes and drew back the blade for a long stroke.
 But in the wood,-this morning by the wall!"
 l hate myself to this day for having % startled her. The poised blade dropped into the water with a splash; she brought the canoe a trife nearer to the wharf with an almost imper- ceptible stroke, and turned toward me with wonder and dismay in her eyes.
 So you are an eavesdropper and de- tective. are you? I beg that you will give your master my compliments! really owe you an apology; I thought you were gentleman" she exclaimed with withering emphasis, and dipped her blade deep in flight.

The paddle rose and fell with trained precision, making scarcely ripple as she stole softly away toward the fairy towers of the sunset. I stood looking after her, goaded with selfcontempt A glory of purple and scarlet and gold filled the west. Suddenly the wind moaned in the wood behind the line of cottages, swept over me and rippled the surface of the lake. I watched its flight until 1t caught her canoe and I marked the fiimsy crafts quick response, as the shaken waters bore her alert figure up- ward on the swell. her blade still main taining its regular dip. until she dis appeared behind little peninsula that made a harbor near the school | grounds.
 The red tamo'-shanter seemed at last to merge in the red sky. and I l turned cheerlessly to my canoe.
