was started.
Now the day was nearly done.
After dinner she had changed to
alone. She took her favorite path
down TO the edge OF the lake where
a canoe was tied. IL was then she
saw the man. He was sitting in "A
rather detected attitude on the mar
row strip of beach facing the water.
His knees were Drawn up, his arms
embracing them, and his head was
dropping forward inertly.
Evidently he had not heard her
coming. for ne sat immovable as

There was something oddly familiar
about him. 4 thrill OF mixed SEN

whether 20 go forward or back. To
go farther meant discovery. to 20

EIinor drew back involuntarily
when she saw the man, for she had
supposed she was alone midst the
grandeur of the mountains. II was
the time CT day she loved, the long.
restful twilight. when the lake and
pines looked like great splotches Ct
ink on a canvas OF silver white.
The stiffness and majesty of the
place rested her. and she needed
rest. for she had worked feverishly
all day on the first chapters OF her
new book.
There had been a party in the
afternoon. The girls had asked
some people to the lodge for ten
mis-, and ElinOr had expected to
play but at o'clock repeated rap
pings at her door had failed TO get

plans for what? For this total
stranger. who stood 10 feet away
and didn't deign 10 notice him? Had
he known that his own handsome

grOomed body was the subject Of
their whispering. as she stood chat
ting with several girls OF her own
age John Gates would have taken
heart but her forbidding back
strengthened his conviction that he
was acting fOolishly.
Yet he hung on and hoped that
some good fortune would bring them
together. Delightedly, he noted az
dinner that the newcomer was seat
ed at a table near mis-. and fortified
by a well-served and heartily con-
sumed dinner he glanced in her di-.
rection. but his incipient smile was
met by a vacant stare, and more
hispering with her friends Then
he sauntered out in the exchange.
and selected a chair. where he
might observe her. a few minutes
later she emerged from the dining
room with her friends. and they
made for the elevator, later return
ing 10 the exchange with their hats
and capcs. Then Gates left his
chair. for he saw her making a line
for the desk. and he suddenly de-
cided he needed a match. Standing
at her side. he was surprised when
the clerk reached in Box 213 in the
mail-rack and handed her some let
tiers. She had the room next TO his,

upon her and enhanced her natural
loneliness. Now and then he greet
ed some acquaintance from home
but the little Pied Piper was blow

Philadelphia, erstwhile of Hame-

didn't know himself. For he hid
himself as twice she crossed the

into the brilliantly lighted shop
windows. And then. in front Of the
Alamac pier. she turned ard their
eyes met, and Gates. turning a, deep
red. fled into the "skee- BALI pavil-

Dejectedly, he retraced his steps
