let her little girl go out with him.


 One afternoon Brewerton got Into his boat for pull to explore the lake from end to end. He pulled up past Camp Wocomoc till he could go no farther by water, then turned and pulled back Noticing that the swimming float was covered with girls, while others were splashing in the water, he concluded to go to 1t and watch the aquatic pes fOrmances. At a point about a hun dred feet from the float be paused Some of the girls were diving from a springboard. One girl climbed lad. der and stood on a platform about twenty feet above the lake. Presently she gave q jump and plunged head foremost The water closed over her, and she did not appear again for half a minute, and when she did she popped up within few yards of Brewertop's s boat and facing him. .S.~ .'.~'.
 Great heavens! She was the kid he had rescued from under the branches of a tree and had taken into his boat to save from drowning! - ... Dr..
 The water was cool, but not cool enough to keep the blood from rushing in a torrent to her cheeks. Though out of breath, she ducked, and came up with her face the other way and swim- ming lustily for the float .'
 BrewertoD's eyes were opened 10 the fact that he had been fooled. Indeed, he had been fooled in more than one re- spect. He had by this time seen a number of the girls of the camp and had learned that he could not judge. of their age when in camp costume. But why should this girl have deceived him, feigning to be afraid ef the wa ter? Quite likely she was one of the most expert cancers on the lake: Doubtless she was one Of the deniZens of the camp. All this was untntelligi- ble to Beaverton, and, being untntPlli- glble, 1t occupied his mind during the rest of his sojOurn at Lake Winnepoge.
 One day in September, after the fall heglra back to the city, Beaverton re ceived a message from his friend Mrs. Webster, asking If 1t would be cOnven- lent for him to dine with her the next evening. She was anxious to hear how he liked Jake Winnepoge. He replied that 1t would be convenient, and he was desirous of learning why she had not told him that there was a girls | camp on the lake. . . >,,. ..t kn hfc I hostess house and was, telling her about how he liked the lake when the doorbell rang and another guest was admitted. Mrs. Webster left him to receive the newcomer and presently re; turned with a stately. young woman h dinner dress. Brewerton's eyes weVe fixed on her for a few moments before he recognized in her altered costume the gltl he had saved from drowning.
 There was on the young Iady's face an expression of mihgling emotions There was some blushing, some shrink ing, some sign of a guilty conscience the whole topped with a. dash Of amusement. On Mrs. Webster's face it 1 was all amusement.s On BreEerton'S face-Brewerton's face was indescrib' 1 able. .-,.. .-..-.- fsr,
 "This is my friend Nick Brewerton,' said the hostess. land this fs- also my friend Miss Eleanor Tibbits. I believe you two have met before. Be seated.
 It was not till long after this, Ehen Beaverton had become the husband oi Miss Tibbits, that he learned what a nefarious conspiracy had been coneoct ed against him. Miss Tibbits had! been with Mrs. Webster when he asked to be recommended to, a restful summer 1 spot where there were no women, l Miss TIbbits-she was twenty years oi age - thought 1t would be a gooc scheme to impose herself on the gen tIeman in camp costume ss G4little girl. She had engaged to go to! Ca1nT Wocomoc and when Beaverton arrived was posted as to the fact. HsShe had "laid" for him and caught him the first day after his arrival Her husband referring to her popping up before hin after having taken a twenty foot dive declared that it was more surprising than if he had seen A yeritablel mer
