ing the tomatoes and picking the Gu
cumbers he walked straight up to the
unfortunate" and wrote on a pad he
had brought for the purpose:
Fishing was good yesterday. l
hoped you would be out"
81 don't care so much about fishing"
she wrote
Wouldn't you like a sail on the
bay?'
She shook her head.
81 see no hammock here l have a
spare one and will be glad to put it
up for you"
Another shake, but she signed her
thanks at the same time.
81 said he'd come, and he did come"
observed Aunt Rebecca after the young
man had departed. Here's the card
he left. He lives in town and paints
pictures. What's the name-Clarence
Denton?"
"Oh, he won't come again! Pm going
fishing today, and if see him coming
I'll row away. Perhaps l shall give
him a snub."
The snub was administered two
hours later. Miss Jessie had reached
her fishing ground when the artist was
sighted bearing down upon her. She
lifted her anchor and rowed straight
away. and the distance was too far for
him to see the smile on her face or for
her to see the look of chagrin on his.
AS the day turned out to be warm
there was no boating in the afternoon.
and neither did Mr.. Denton show up
for more vegetables in the morning.
Miss Jessie pretended to be well pleas
ed. but down in her heart she was
piqued.
AS matter Of fact, the girl had be-
come indignant by the time she had
taken up the oars, and the feeling was
added to after she had fished for an
hour without a bite or a sight of the
other boat Then came an interrupt
ton. She hooked what she believed
was a whale. and in her excitement
she rose up and tumbled into the wa
ter with a great splash. The boat
did not go over. and she soon had her
hands on it. But to draw herself up
was another matter She could not
do it. She could only hang on and
think of sharks.
She had been clinging for half an
hour when a boat suddenly appeared
in sight. and at the top of her voice
she called out to be saved. She called
