Late in the afternoon the canoe
heavily festOoned with dripping water
lilies, moved like a shadow over the
shining sands The tall hemlocks wall
ed the river with palisades unbroken;
the calm water stretched away into
the forests sombre depths, barred here
and there by dusty sunbeams.
Over them, in the highest depths of
the unciouded blue, lowered an eagle,
suspended from mid-zenith Under
them the shadow of their craft swept
the yellow gravel
Knee to knee, vis-a-vis, wrapped to
their souls in the encaantment of each
other, sat the entranced voyagers.
Their rods lay idle beside them; life
was serious just then for people who
stood on the threshold of separation.

The aged parson of FoxviIle, intent
on his bObbing cork, looked uD in mild
surprise to see a canoe, heavily hung
with water-lllies, glide into MS pool and
swing shoreward.
The parson of Foxville was a very
old man-almOst too old to fish for
trout.
Crawford led him pace aside. Ieav-
ing Miss Castle, somewhat frightened,
knee-deep in the purple iris
Then the old paTson came toddling to
her and took her hand, and peered
at her with his aged eyes, saying,
=" on are quite mad, nv child, and
very lovely, and very, very young
So think, after all, you would be much
safer 1t you were married"
Somebody encircled her waist; she
turned and looked into the eyes of
her lover, and still looking at him,
she laid her hands In his.
A wedding amid the iris, all gray with
the lowering, misty wings of moths
that was her fate-with the sky a can
opy OF fire above her, and the curlew
calling through the kindling dusk, and
the blue professional of the woods
lining the corridors of the coming
night
And at last the aged parson kissed
her and shook hands with her husband
and shambled away across the meadows
Slowly nOrthward through the dusk
stole the canoe once more, bearing the
bride of an hour, her head on her hus-
bands knees. The stars came out to
watch them; a necklace of bubbles
tralled in the paddles wake, stringing
away, twinkling in the starlight
Slowly through the perfumed gloom
they glIded, her warm head on his
knees, his eyes fixed on the vague
water ahead.
A stag crashed through the reeds
ashore; the June fawn stared with eyes
ike rubies In the dark
Onward, onward, through the SPELL
bound forest; and at last the windows
OF the house glimmered, reflected in
the water.
CARBIDE and Crawford awaited them
on the veranda as they came up, rising
in chilling silence, ignoring the offered
hands of greeting:
1--WE a word to say to yOu," snarIed
the Hon. John CARBIDE, In his wards
ear" and another word for your
fool of an aunt"
She shrank back against her husband,
amazed and hurt. What do you
mean?" she stammered; "we-were
are married VIII you not speak to
my-my husband?"
A silence, too awful to last, was
broken by a hOarse laugh
You're all right, Jim," said the
elder Crawford, slowly. "Ophir Steel
won't slip through your fingers when
I'm under the sod. Been married
long, Jim"

He pointed off to the westward.
where through the forest a stream,
scarcely wider than the canoe. flowed
deep and silent between its mounds of
moss.
He picked up the paddle and touched
the blade to the water; the canoe swung
westward.

Without warning, a yellow glory
broke through the trees, and the canoe
shot out into a vast, flat country,
drenehed with the rays of the sinking
sun.
Blue woods belted the distance; all
In front of them was deep, moist mea-
dow-land, carpeted with thickets of
wild iris, through which the stream
wound in pools of gold
The beauty of 1T held her speech
less; the spell was upon him, too, and
he sat motionless, the water dripping
from his steel-tipped setting-pole in
drops of fire.
There was a figure moving in the
distant meadow; the sun glimmered
on something that might have been
a long reed Quivering
An old friend fishing yonder," he
said, quietly; az knew he would be

to the distant figure s'That is the

She looked across the purple fields

out like a sunbeam.
"Do-do you wish-that-raolc?'
she faltered
He picked up the paddle; she caught
his hand, trembling
"No, nol"-she whispered, with
bent head-''I cannot; don't take me
$3.50 quickly. Truly we must be
mad to think of it."
He held the paddle poised; after a
while her hand slid from the blade
and she looked up into his eyes The
canoe moved on.
"Oh, we are quite mad" she said,
unsteadily.
