"T've always said," he conf1ded apropos
Of nothing, "that if ever married it
would be q girl who loved swimming.
Somebody who was really good at it."

it's going to be a very nice cup, and I

Kay nodded -committally and
looked at the patch in the sky where the
sun was trying its best to break through.
Robin followed her gaze. "If 1t clears
this afternoon, I'd like to show you q
clever underwater trick I've just learned.
It's called the Monte Cristo sack trick"
Kay wasn't clear on all points as Robin
explained the trick, but on one point she
was certain, The performer of the
Monte Cristo sack trick was not going
to be Kay Douglas.
Mrs. Ostrand had few Of her friends

For this Kay was passionately grateful,

dying to go swimming. At last he could
stand it no longer. "It isn't fair to

and show her that Monte Cristo sack

Mrs. Ostrand's indulgent smile in

bother any more, my dear; Just get your

around her coffin. Spurred on by this

the average swimmer, but it's going to
be paradise for you"
Kay allowed herself a hollow laugh.
"Oh yes, indeed" she agreed.
Dinner was hardly over before Kay re-
ceived her second shock.
'I was looking forward to driving you
over to the club for a few Dances" Robin
mentioned regretfully "but Aunt Martha
says the Manual has it you always hit
the hay before g."
II might break the rule just once"
Kay smiled up hopefully.
NO" Robin was firm. "Its not for
one of your fellow swimmers to under
mine your excellent habits. But I tell
you what. I'll call you at dawn tomor-
row and we can swim over to Hunters
Point
It was then that Kay searched In vain
for one of the thousand good excuses her
sister had failed to mention.
CHE allowed Robins ."Yoohoooo!" next
morning to go unheeded. Perhaps
he'd think she was heavy sleeper and
go away. It wasn't until some rocks
began hitting the pane in businesslike
manner that Kay opened the window.
Been waiting long?" Robin called up
chummily.
'Tve been waiting for this moment
all night" Kay admitted, and in her
voice was the undeniable ring Of truth.
"Im sorry to disappoint you," Robin
was apologizing, "but don't think we
ought to try it this morning. There's
quite gale up, and think it would be
pretty rough going. But come on down,
anyway, and let's have breakfast"
Kay couldn't suppress the relieved
smile. Some other time then," she
called back recklessly. "See YOU below
rs soon as I'm dressed"
Kay shifted the heartening aroma of
good strong coffee and gave contented

the twin they invited?"
1T was evident from the expression on
Peggy's face that this was ground they
had covered many times before.
Haven't told you the OStrands
haven't seen us since we were young
sters? Nobody ever remembers messy
children-and when they're twins it's
harder"
Kay brushed this aside. "You know
the only reason they asked you, Peggy,
is because you're the swimmer. The
letter says they saw the write-up the
Swimmers Manual gave you. They even
9orgot to mention me in their letter"
'I wouldn't ask it," Peggy said stif1y,
eff it wasn't that Gordon is coming up
and, anyway" she reminded Kay, "re-
member the time made that funny
Simpson fellow think you were kepto-
maniac just so he'd stop pestering you?"
AT this unsporting reminder of past
favor, Kay's spirit, if not broken, at least
began to crack. Nevertheless, when the

"Ancients like the Ostrands don't swim.
Though anybody with speck of brain,"
she added after the departing train,
"could think of thousand perfectly
good excuses"
u HOPE, my DEAR" Mrs. Ostrand said
brightly as she showed Kay to a
pretty guest room, you don't think I've
asked you down merely for my own
selfish pleasure. I've quite a delightful
surprise for you. Robin Sproule, our
nephew, is staying with MS for few
weeks"

begged weakly. Kay knew of Robin
through hearing Peggy rave about his
aquatic feats.

the Sproule crawl, the Sproule back
stroke and the Sproule dive. Holder

as you are to meet him."
If this were true, Kay told herself,
Robin Sproule could get along nicely
Che rest of his natural life without see
ing her.

bat down to the dinner table with more
than her usual healthy appetite.
Dreamily she closed her eyes and wished
For creamed chicken. She opened them
cautiously. gratified smile curved her
red lips. Before Mrs. OStrand sat

Kay had ever seen.
With Seraphic expression she turned

believe her eyes. There, in front Of her,
was a perfectly uninteresting vegetable
plate in which spinach and turnips were
featured with disgusting prominence.
