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 unclouded 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 enchantment of each
other, sat the entranced voyagers.

CHAPTER XIII.
NINE. HELEN DEssAUD.

The group about the table in the
smoking room of the Cedric remained
motionless, silent, waiting for the mar
rator to continue. We were intensely
interested, our cigars out, all our eyes
upon him. One of the ships officers
stood, Just inside the door leaning
against the bulkhcad. The swinging
light revealed expectant faces. 1t was
the little man whose curiosity broke
the silence,
Is that all, Monsieur" he asked
eagerly.

to his feet.

and the light made her appear picture

woman, gazing at us in surprise.
He stepped forward, and took her
hand, and thus they faced us

Blue Flame Perfection Oil Stoves

The aged parson of FoxviIc, intent
on his bobbing cork, looked up in mild
surprise to see a canoe, heavily hung
with water-lilies, glide into his pool and
swing shoreward.
The parson Of Foxvile was a very
old man-almost too old to fish for
trout.
Crawford led him a pace aside, leav-
ing Miss Castle, somewhat frightened,
knee-dcep in the purple iris.
Then the old parson came toddling to
her and took her hand, and pcered
at her with his aged eyes, saying,
" You are quite mad, my child, and
So think, after all, you would be much
safer if 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 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
trailed 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
like rubies in the dark
Onward, onward, through the spell
bound forest; and at last the windows
of the house glimmcred, reflected in
the water.
CARBIDE and Crawford awaited them
on the veranda rs they came up, rising
in chilling silence, ignoring the offered
hands of greeting.
"Pve word to say to you, snarled
the Hon. John CARBIDE, in his wards
ear-"and another word for your
fool of an auntW
She shrank back against her husband,
amazed and hurt. "What do you
mean" she stammered "we-werc
are married. Will you not speak to
my-my husband"
A silence, too awful to last, was
broken by hoarse laugh.
you're all right, jim" said the
elder Crawford, slowly "Ophir Steel
won't slip through your fingers when
I'm undt. the sod Been married
long, Jim?'

Con i1ued from b ge 6.

'O'' ~ -
He pointed off to the westward,
where through the forest 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.
Where are YOU taking me?" she
asked
But the canoe wa already in the
narrow stream, and he was laughing
rcc'ilc 'sly, sctting-pole poised to swing
round the short turns.
"li we turned back now she said,
lit would be sunset before we reached
the club"
What do we care?" he laughed
"LoOkl"
Without warning, a yellow glory
broke through the trees, and the canoe
shot out into vast, flat country,
drcnched 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 it held her speech
less; the spell was upon him, too, and
he sat motionless, the water dripping
from his steel-tipped setting-polc in
drops of fire.
There was a figure moving in the
distant meadow; the sun glimmered
on something that might have been
long reed quivering
An old friend fishing yonder," he
said, quietly; 81 knew he would be
there He touched her and pointed
to the distant figure. "That is the
parson of Foxvile," he said. 1--WE
will need him before we go to London"
She looked across the purple fields
of iris. Suddenly his meaning flashed
out like sunbeam.
Do-do you wish-that-now?"
she faltered.
He picked up the paddle; she caught
his hand, trembling.
"No, no!"-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.
ooh, we are quite mad" she said,
unsteadily.
81 am glad we are, he said.
The mellow dip! dip! of the paddle
woke the browsing red-winged black
birds from the reeds; the gray snipe
wheeled out across the marsh in flicker
ing flight
