 T went out to fish, said the girl with the sunburned neck Not at all because I like to fish, but because there was nothing else to do, and the meat hadn't come. Emily said that unless I caught some we'd have no dinner So I took the rowboat and | rowed around the bend into the Bayou. He was there."
 The fish? ?"

 thee old straw hat, till he turned. and it was tl1een I was srnitten dumb by the profile. And the eyes! And the general look of being somebody | knew immediately he must be ., man of importance who had buried himself 1 in the wilds to rest, and I was so | thankful that I had on the newest style Of 1niddy and a becoming shade hat. I resolved to be perfectly oblivi- OuS and Self-posSeSSed, so l proceeded to stop and fish as had first intended. A man always admires an unffustered girl I couldn't help it. could l, if my bamboo pole dropped overboard?'' Tt was better than falling overheard myself" protested the other. Not nearly so mussy, wish you could " retrieved that pole and gave it to me! When he raised his hat I decided that he was some movie star. such was his grace.
