let out from school, in simple frock,
in a marvelously fetching hat, white

as Dan helped her into the boat,
pushed it out, pushed away with her
on the crest of the sun-fecked waters,
spring was in his heart, and he
found the moment almost too great
to bear.
The actress had been a girl with
him all day, giving herself to his
moods, doing what he liked without
demur, talking of their mutual past,
telling him one amusing story after
another, proving herself an ideal COM
panion, fresh, varied, reposeful; and
no one to have seen Lefty Lane with
the boy on that afternoon would have
dreamed that she ever had known an
other love. They had moored their
boat down near Maidenhead, and he
had helped her up the bank to the
little inn, where tea had been made
for them, and served to him by her
own beautiful white hands. He had
called for strawberries, and, like a
shepherd in a pastoral, had fed them
to her, and as they fingered the sun
set came creeping steadily in through
the windows where they sat.
AS they neither called for their ac-
count nor to have the tea things taken

lily opened the door and, unknown,
looked at one Of the prettiest pictures
ever within her walls. Lefty Lane
sat on the window seat, her golden
head, her white form against the
glow, and the boy by her side had his
arms around her, and her head was
on his breast. They were both young.
They might have been white birds
blown in there, nesting in the humble
Inn, and the woman of the house, who
had not heard the waters of the
thames flow softly for nothing,
Judged them gently and sighed with
pleasure as she shut the door.
Here at Maidenhead Dan had left
his boat and the motor took them
back. Nothing spoiled his bliss that
day, and he said her name thou
