Dolly dimpled with smiles as sud-

as it raced toward the sea. The tide
was just at the turn, and the water
rippled over the shadows In a mil
lion cleaning points of light. The
pines that surrounded the estuary

Tit girl observed with satisfaction
that Bray obeyed her injunction
promptly. Something in his tone haG
added that he regretted the lost Op
portunity of the summer because he
had meant to propose to her then. She
was not minded to give him that op
portunity now. For more than yea
Bray and Tommy Gordon had strug

been able to decide her preference.
She had skillfully evaded Il direc
proposal from either. but she was be

seemed impossible. She admired Cor

admired Bray's grave reserve. No cir
