There was a long, cool piazzi in front, and a long inviting jog gling board in the east end. - A least it must have been very in viting, for gay groups of noiej t.school children were continuallj joggling out there. There, was bright, laughing set of girls an< boya, sitting undier a great hicke e rg Lie .nin front, and their daint lun rch was spread in temnpting prc fgtshin on the white towels som Cof themn had spread. From a 'apper window I1 was watchin their merry prattle and recalinw my own happy school days. 'Ther was fun loving Fred Harlanw TSteve Henton and Day MerLur Tand tLe girls, were .Laydia au .Fannie Bailey, Olive Brown an IMay Morton. -~ Say girls 1 Lets sany lusel -ITve got, some royal fried chieke over here, and I want ses Mies Glive's''fat,iy buietcuit?' to g with it,' Fred called outi. -e Very well i'll swap!. Ther a, goes 1' Fannie called back, as st snatched up.one of Olive's biscui and tbrew it across to' him. 'Hand over those jumbles, Ster< l'i I'l give you an egg for one.' 'All right. Miss Lydia. But wont eat '' egg, I'll keep its a bighily prized memento ofi day's lunch.' -~You do not ask me to join yoi m.lunch,' Day remarked throwi: h' imself on the cool grass at wiping his greasy fingers wit,h h ahandkerchief. Olive loed up quickly ar then lowered her eyes as sl sought the lau'ghing glance Lbent on her. 'Why,' spoke up Lydia. -1 an Bposed you knew that you were ways welcome I Of course o1 group would never be compt - ithout your moat.highly pris companionship.' Ih'ranks. Mises Lydia I I belie you do ~welconme mec.' Daya swered with a laughb. Jertaitily I do. It, would Sstyidly dull without our Da; laughing. onare quite comnpimental DN o fred and anyself.' Steve marked dryly. 'Pubaw, boys, you have not learned Miss Lydia's wiles yet.? Day said, 'Never mind, Fred, I don't mean you, of course. There !' she -added tossing him a flower,. and.then turning with anotherI which she was about to fasten in Day's coat, when he arrested her and throwing it across -to Olive said, 'There, Miss Olive I you can keep that or give it to your sweet heart, just as suits your fancy.' She picked it up and gary him one quiek glauce of the black brown eyes. 'Thank you Day !' Lydia said testily. 'When I next offer you a flower you will accept it.'. 'No offeie meant, Miss Lydia, I only did not like to share senti ments with Fred.' -1 don't call that 1' she said snapping her fingers, 'Come Fred, let's have. a game of croquet. And you Steve and O+ive.' '1 prefer reading, I believe,' the 1 latter answered as the others left ! the shade. Day was still stretched on the grass, and pushing the wide straw I hat off his t;row, he said: 'Why J don't, you talk to me sometimes, Miss Oliver 'I think you are talked to quite enough without my help. Lydia hardly notices those other poor ] fellows when . you are near at hand.' She said, trying to reprees I a smile. 1 'You mean when Fred or Doland is away. She i. a qly ulss. Mi'.u Olive. A fellow hardly knows where he stands with her.' - 'Why don't you ask her ?' dry ly. rather know how I stan in the op,i iion of some one e se. 'Then I must tay you care so little for her opinion, I am sure she thinks you do.' -1 am sorry I do not, just see how she is smiling on poor fool ish. Fred. But there is no go I there I Not while Doland is in the field. 'So you think he is first choicu with her?' - 'Yes so long as he carries the t heavier purse.' 'And you think she can be r bought.' I 'Yes.' S'You are complimeutary to my Isex.' - I only refer to a certain one.' r 'Oh, well, we won't quarrel -though I flope you are mistakehn.' e -1 don't think so, though, just ci see how she is turning the heads ; of those two foolish boys yonder.' S 4nd if you were there you too e would share her smiles. Where's , the difference ?' , 'Quite. I 'prefer being here and ii lett.ing you quarrel at me.'. d -Do you reaU? ' -Yes, .1 am iiot. at all smitten I Ia-suire you; . The ge:icine way in which this '. was said 'eaused Olive's heart to >i beat; more quickly, but she re mem bered what Fan had only ac e fejw days beforettold her, and when e her reflections reaiched this point t Day saked abr.uptly :'Of what are you thin -g, Miss Olive ?' 'Of you,' s said coolly. 'Thank you I did not think . I ever occupied your thoughts, wa' as was it good or bad?7' o 'I was only wondering if a cer tain rumor were true.' r 'It is not. Will you believe me g You refer to a report that I bat d addressed Miss Lydia.' is -Yes; I am glad you had hear< it before. But sorry I. heard it d at all.' ~e 'And why ?' Did you pity m ~e or the young lady ?' 'You. And I am sorry on som< p. ')tber account.' l. 'I think I understand you~, an r I hope she will feel no annoy anc' te from the knoR ledge of havin d originated the report.' -I can't see what object, sh -e har: in view unless-' u. 'She was jealous I just so!l' h .finished laughing. e 'Of whomt pray. I can't i ,agiue who'd be her rival.' 'You can't! Well i'll tell you s'ecret I told.her on our last hui a. May day. I told berihad ali tie boqu. I. bad found in m bat, and I would give worlds to possess the giver's heart.' While be was speaking Olive relt the -guilty blushes stealing in to her cheeks, and she pulled her long son bonnet lo er to hide Lbem. She had put the flowers there and never guessed, till now, that be had found it out. When she looked up Day was watching her narrowly and turn ed sudde'ly and drew forth the lead blossoms saying, 'Are you sorry you gave them Miss Olive? [f so you can take them back.' She bakf. smiled as she arose saying. No. Au honorable ex ;hange is fair, I believe,' holding io the bud he had tossed her. CHAPTER II. A group.of expectantgirls stood >n the banks of the river and istened impatiently for the nearing pproach of oars that could be listinctly heard around the grace. al curve that bid the boatsmen ?rom view. Several loud, boyish augha mingling with the jesting >f the girls and the light canoe 'ove into- sight, ;nd Day and Loland sprang ashore. 'Heighol! Surely something is to iappen to-day I Girls actually waiting. Who ever before heard f a womarn being ready.' And Day shook his wide brimmed hat .nd wiped the perspiration from iis brow, aas. Olive came down to he water udge. -Oh I exolaimed Lydia.' I do ish I euuld have auch a nice ride as your:', Olive.'

'You mnean Dick.' -1l meanr simply wh#t I sa; You can believe what you wit about it,' she answered Tok i him. 'Really !, Then I'm awfully gli if you do' for you said the oth' day that'you liked me and if y only say ihat you mean wi that is good.' 'Certainly I like you. 'u better thin' I do either Steve< Fred,' she said looking at hi while a mischievous smile glaned in her eyes. 'Or Dick. Ah Miss Olive ye wont include him.' 'Why shiould I? Dick is only secondary acquaintance. I ci tainly d& not include him in .me tioning old friends.' 'Thanks. But 'do .you knc Steve always thought, these'c friends' very dry.' 'You do?7 I am sorry then had always thought it the ve best of fiendship, w her we e -recall school-mates and play-f lows in o.gr happiest days! I 'I don't mean that;' he sa I quickly. 'But when we once come 'oldfriends' we hardly kni I how we stand. For instance ,the little attention and cour tea we may accord an old frie s would be taken as. a' matter course, whbile in our own hei B they mean a something dee] than friendship.' IHe watched her narrowly a e aught a quick flush that eroe Sher browt s she partially giant at him. e Then she turned quickly olamin~g, 'Oh, I'm so glad we hi S got here at last!i and there eta' Lillie on the look-outfor us' I-As .the boat touched the la ing she~ sprang out and DI a ried, 'Oh, Olive we will Ii isuch nice1,imes.

She says you love Miss Ly.dia but I know you don't. Miss Olive is so much nicer.'. 'No useiFlorrie.' He said, smil. ing, -Yes, there is, Now, go!' she said coolly, as he started the swing. I)ay wen,t straight to Olive and taking a seat beside 'her said, 'Misi Florrie has been giving me some southd advice.' 'She has ?
