Something disquiettng had come into the
qporld.
had suddenly come into, the world,
something unpleasant, but indefinite,
yet sufficient to leave her vaguely ap-
prehensive.
Somebody threw a tennis ball at her.
She caught it and hurled it in return,
and. for a few minutes the white, felt
covered balls flew back and forth from
scores of graceful, eager hands. A
moment or two passed when no balls
came her way. She turned and walked
to the foot of a dune and seated her
celf cross legged on the hot sand, her
serious, beautiful eyes fixed steadily
on a distant white spot-the sponsor
canoe where Gladys and Selwyn sat,
their paddle blades flashing in the sun.
How far away they were! Gerald
was with them. Curious that Selwyn
had not seen her waiting for him,
knee deep in the surf-curious that he
had seen Gladys instead! True, Gladys
had called to him and signaled him,
white arm upfiung. Gladys was very
pretty-with her heavy, dark hair and
melting, Spanish eyes and her softly
rounded, olive skinned figure. Gladys
had called to him, and she had not.
That was true, and lately-for the last
few days or perhaps more-she her
self had been trifie less impulsive in
her greeting Of Selwyn-a little less
sans facon with him. After all, a man
comes when it pleases him. Why
should a girl call him-unless she-un-
less-unless-
Perplexed, her grave eyes were fixed
on the sea where now the white canoe
pitched nearer, close on now.
When the canoe suddenly capsized,
Gladys jumped, but Selwyn went with
It, boat and man tumbling into the
tumult over and over As Eileen looked
she saw a dark streak leap across his
face-saw him stoop and wash It or
and stand, looking blindly about, while
again the sudden dark line crisscrossed
his face from temple to chin and
spread wider like a stain.
'Philip" she called, springing to her
feet and scarcely knowing that she had
spoken.
He heard her and came toward her
in a halting, dazed way, stopping
twice to cleanse his face Of the bright
blood that streaked 1t.
"It's nothing" he said. "The infer
nal thing hit me. oh, don't use thatr'

However, the younger set, now pre-
dominant from Wyossett to Wonder
head, made up parties to visit Sci
wyn's cottage, which had become
known as the Chrysalls, and Selwyn
good naturedly exploded pinch or
two of the stun for their amusement
and never betrayed the slightest an
noyance or boredom. In fact he be-
haved SO amiably during gratuitous in
terruptions that he won the hearts Of
the younger set, who presently came

On the sunlit sands dozens of young
people were hurting tennis balls at
each other. Above the beach, under
the long pavilions, sat mothers and
chaperons. Motors, beach carts and
victorias were still arriving to dis
charge gayly dressed fashionables, for
the hour was early, and up and down
the inclined wooden walk leading from
the bathing pavilion to the sands a
constant procession of bathers passed
with nod and gesture of laughing salu-
tation, some already retiring to the
showers after a brief ocean plunge. the
majority running down to the shore.

embrace OF the surf rolling in under q

As Eileen Enroll emerged from the
surf and came wading shorsward
through the seething shadows she
caught sight Of Selwyn sauntering
across the sands toward the water and
halted, knee deep, smilingly expectant,
certain that he had seen her.
Gladys Orchil, passing her, saw Sel-
wyn at the same moment, and her clear
ringing salute and slender arm aloft

moment they were or together, SWIM

Gerald had just launched with the as

seaward with the others. Yesterday
she would have gone without a thought
to join the others, but yesterday is
