had knocked Paul Colombo from q

river, succeeded in hooking his coat
and dragging the body to the surface.

The Eichlar boy just managed to es-

was struck on the side Of the head

Angy's secret hope that Abe would
change his smind and abandon the
projected trip to the beach remained
unfuldlled. In spite Of the fact that
cold weather suddenly descended on
the South side. and the bay became
first "scummed" over with Ice, and
then frozen 90 solid that all its usual
craft disappeared. and the "scooters"
took possession Of the field.
Abe and Samuel held stubbornly to
their reckless Intentions; and the Sis
ters. sharing Angy's anxiety, grew So
licitous almost to the point of active
Interference. They withheld nothing
In the way Of counsel. criticism, or
admonition which could be offered.

the evening before the date set for de-
parture, "ef yew.'re bound. bent an

to think that for seven days to come

Neither heard the door open nor saw
Angy standing on the threshold, half
