and Delamater erred gravely at this
moment. He kissed Allie. Without
warning he kissed her full and fair
upon her red halfSopen lips.
For the briefe instant of amaze

Delamater was surprised ~Hhen
his pupil turned her back upon him
strobe to the nearest window. and
flung it open as if for air; hi, sur

To those who are familiar with
Burlington Notch, it will be remem-
bered that the hotel is pitched upon
slope and that the rooms on the
first floor Of the east wing are rails
ed considerable distance above the

rooms, overlook the eighteenth
green, and during tournaments they
are favOrite vantage points of golf
widows and enthusiasts who are too
old to follow the competitors around
the course. Today they were filled,

some Dorothy Perkins rosebush. He
landed with a shrek. Briefly the

deep bosom was heaving, her smoky
hair was lightly disarranged; she
allowed her eyes to rest upon the
figure entangled among the thorns
beneath her, then see closed the win
dow.
Mrs. Ring was waiting on the We.
randa for Gus Briskow when he re-
turned to the hotel about dark. He
had learned to dread the sight of
her on that veranda for it was her
favorite resigning place-what Gus
called her quitting spot" and It
was eviden4 tonight that she was N
a quitting mood, mood more hys-
terical than ever before. 1t was
