CHAPTER XXXIV
DOB'S father had been afraid
- that the surprise he had in
store for his soma yachting
party including Is young friends
hastily gathered together by Bar
bara-might prove unwelcome
Mr.. Weston was quite sure Bob
would have preferred to make the
trip without these companions but
he was sure also that companion
ship was exactly what Bob need

he went ahead with the cure for

the others and deep in converse

set of his mouth.
I'm an impatient old man"
Mr.. Weston thought unhappily.
young people take disappoint-
ments to heart more than we old
sters, who have forgotten our ro-
mantle pangs, can realize"
BARBARA, trailing about in a
~ filmy lace dress, was looking
particularly lovely that night. Mr..
Weston glanced about for his son
but did not see him. He sat down
