UNFORTUNATELY there was no
- night train which made con-
nections with Crest Lake at decent
hour, and the day ride was dreary
indeed. But, once the train reached
the vicinity of the lake, the flying
scenery began % take on the lush
green charm which was so charac-
teristic of that part of the state. 10
was delighted when at last she
heard the conductor call out Crest
Lake Station! :" and she could
quit the hot green mohair of the
train chair.
Crest Lake Station was at least
two miles from the lake itself, and
10 was relieved to see Douglas
Marsh standing by the tiny yellow
building, scanning the length of the
car for a glimpse of her. She saw a
dark green roadster, smaller and less
expensive than the one he'd driven
in town, standing by the roadside.
Hello, Mr.. Marsh" she greeted
him.
He broke into a wide, relieved
smile. Thank Heaven you're here!
You know. I've had the most fright
full feeling that you still might kick
out on me. Have nice trip DOWN."
only fair" 10 admitted. There
were three children-all with very
sticky fingers-who took a strange
liking to me- 1 adore children,
really, but" she broke off, laugh
ing.
Marsh nodded 81 know. You
ADORE children, but not on trains,
not three at a time, and most GER
tainly not with sticky fingers That
day train is bore. But you'll feel
grand when you've had a tub and
dinner, and a glimpse of the lake by
moonlight"
They climbed into the little green
roadster and Marsh drove swiftly
into a forest that at first glance
seemed impenetrable, but through
which a narrow, hard-packed dirt
road meandered in intriguing fash
ion. 10 breathed deeply of the
clear, clean air and thought how
good it was to be out of the city
and out of the workaday worry and
fretting which was part of it.
Il feel much better already" she
confessed with a laugh.
I'm sure you'll be happy this
summer" Marsh assured her. Did
they fix you up at Lytsen's all
right?"
TO laughed. They certainly did!
- You would have thought the
Princess Marina was shopping. I'm
afraid the bill is pretty large, so
1 hope"
Nonsense! I wanted you to do
it up right, and 1 hope you did"
He was silent a moment, giving all
his attention to the twists of the
road. Then he said, Il think 1
told you that some persons call
mother eccentric didn't -"
Yes, I believe you mentioned
something about it."
"Of course you'll meet her when
we get to Crest Lake, and I want
to warn you not to be alarmed or
disturbed by anything she may say.
She's a very outSpoken old lady
and that's probably because so few
persons have ever had the nerve to
talk back to her. She" he cleared
his throat nervously, and began
again: she wasn't very delighted
about my idea of having a hostess
at Crest Lake"
Wasn't she?" asked 10, her
heart sinking.
You see-Ill let you into the
family skeleton closet just so you'll
understand better-you see, Dad
was a bit of a gadder, I'm afraid.
And Mothers always afraid I've in
herited the tendency. She may
view you with a good deal of sus-
picion at first. But I know she'll
like you once she knows you
better"
II hope so" said 10 uncer-
tainly.
Il know she will. The main
thing is not to be concerned about
it. Just don't let it disturb you"
I'll try not to-" said 10.
