over the face Of the young man. It
was so enigmatical, and withal SO sus-
ceptible Of fine gradations of analysis
that the companion Of the exclusive
Miss Dallemand was influenced to pay

II fancied the young man was very
courteous, and-handsome," added Luz
cha, with a twinkle in her eye, and
she made good her promise when the
second van arrived.
The Dallemands were about to take
up summer quarters at Haven Cove,
where they had sumptuous home
near Clear Water lake. 1t was their
custom each year to do this. In the
absence Of her father and mother,
Miss Dallemand had assumed charge
Of affairs. She had sent to the town,
as was usual, to, secure a moving
crew, and the first van, carrying the
piano, some book cases and other spe-
cial furnishings. was now jogging
along down the road, driven by Whar-
ton.
The young man was an accom-
plished driver, he showed that in the
way he managed the team, but his
two helpers were unruly comrades.
Armed with several bottles, they
threw themselves upon heap of mat
tresses piled in one corner of the
great wagon and ordered Wharton to
give them the word when they
reached destination

they had to secure the services of two
farmers with their teams to haul them
onto solid roadway further on.
They reached the point of land at
the extreme end of which the Dali

in the evening. Wharton had planned
to reach the place by four o'clock in
the afternoon. The horses were we'll
