Clavdringdid not Mike a word ftloie with Mhry. She sat on one of the divans. between Cora and Todd, while Scares lay on. the floor at -her feet, his heat! on a cushion, one foot paving over a lifted knee, the perfect picture of the content ed* playwright. They kept up a continuous murhiur, punctuated with gales of laughter. Clavering had sulkily taken a beside Babette Gold, whose metallic hu mXb sometimes 'amused him, but she .went sofcnd asleep before his eyes, and he could oidy'gaze into the fire and console himself with visions of a week hence, when these curse® peoplb had gone and he was the most fortunate man on earth. His room was downstairs next to Mi*. Dinwiddle's, and he made up his mind to let himself out softly at midnight, throw pebbles at her window and whisper to her as she ( leaned fronj her casement. It was 'a scene that if introduced Into a modern play would' have driyen him from the„theatre and tippled his pen with vitriol next morning, but it appealed to him, somehow, as a fitting «epispde in his own »high romance-. But he was asleep before his head touch-' ed the pillow, and did not lift an eyelash until the first bell rouse-d HAVELUNCH !

Then, how- xLix The hour between seven and eight was a lively one.in the upper corridor. There was only one bath room on the second floor'. Scores and Miss Gold took their morning plunge ip jthe lake, but the rest preferred the less drastic shower, and there was a continual darting I- to and fro of forms clad In bath- I robe or kimono; the vanquished [tfeping through door-fracks wait ing for the bathroom door to open —signal, for another wild rush down the hall, a scuffle at the door, a triumphant slam and- Root, and loud vituperations from the defeat ed. Mary cannily .waited until the last, and came down, clad in a while-. sweater and heavy white cwqed skirt, after the others had cleared the generous platter of iijm and eggs, and the mountain of torn bread was a hillock of crumbs, , “Oh, Mary!” said Mr. Dinwiddle, .-eprovingly, "and you as prompt is royalty. In camp >” ‘Tve no thought of going with-' wat my breakfast,” said Mary tin r. pentantly. “Ring the bell, Din.” The men had risen, but Clawer ing alone had determination in his rye. He pulled ou( a chair besida his own, and Mary accepted it gracefully, waving a morning greeting to tjie others. “How good' of you to keep this ehair for me, Mr. Clavering,” she murmured. “It is shocking of me to bb so lazy.” “I'm sick of this game,” growled Clavering. “If you act today ’’ "Shh! I am sure you are going to take me out on the lake imme diately after breakfast.” Ills' amiability was immediately restored, but his gayety was some ■i what forced. “You are looking charmings his morning.*Miss Og . den. I wished last night that there was a guitar or even s banjo in the camp, that I might serenade beneath your window.” (To Be Continued.) THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ?
