stantly he recognized the Ianthe,
and a quick fear came over him. But
when a survey of the paddles and
cushions assured him that there had
been no accident he concluded that
Lenore, in her usual careless man
ner, had left the canoe unfastened
on the bank and that she was some
where high and dry by the river
with no means of getting home.
After Bleaching the empty canoe
Bob's first impulse was to leave Lee
more to her own devices. She had
surprised him with her fit of anger,
and he had not reconciled this blaz-
ingly angry Amazon with the loving
and fovable companion he had pic
tured her. But the strength of a
kind of habit of doing things for Le-
more made him reluctantly decide to
go to her rescue.
Bob did not hurry. He dawdled

along, exerting himself enough to
make slow progress against the
current until he came to the island
where Lenore slept. He saw traces
of the keel Of the Ianthe, and recog-
nized with a quick thrill the white
slipper in the mud.
Suddenly through an opening in
the bushes he saw Lenore sleeping
peacefully on. the knoll with her
lovely hair spread about her. AS
Bob watched her he forgot the petty
quarrel, the angry departure; he
forgot his surprise and his own
sudden anger, and he knew then, as
he had never known before, how
much this girl meant to bin and to
his whole life.
On the opposite side of the mar
row island he moored his canoe and
waited. When the full yellow moon
loomed over the black wall of pines

Rage, blind fury, and an intense
self-pity struggled within her for
mastry; and a bitter establishment
at the thought that the man she had
loved had left her first impulsive
suggestion that they part, filed her
heart with poignant ache that
would not cease. Long she wept,
until wearied to exhaustion, she
caught her breath in great irregular
gasps, sighed many times, and fell
asleep.
Around the side of the island up
on which Lenore had cried herself
to sleep. the river ran with more
current than was perceptible in the
seemingly sluggish stream. Little
by little the river leased at the
grounded canoe, and finally drew il
completely off from the shore.
