She wai In the water, ao waa Baldy, to waa the food and the beer, the beer at the bottom of the lake and the aandwiehea diitictegrating slowly. Baldy groined and floundered ashore with Myra who dragged the canoe with her and emptied the water with difficulty, Baldy aat down and held his head In hit handa, hit aporta run dripping around hint ah ape leu iy. "Now," aald Myra, "atep in care fully thit time." "No," aaid Baldy. "Not if I have to live her the rait of my life! 1 ain't going to riak going over those fallf again ... or drowning in the middle of thia lake. I can't iwim." "Too bad," aaid Myra. "What axe you going to do?" "You try and get back and aend someone who can work one of thoee things." "All right." Myra spoke quite cheerfully, but with a lurking smile in her eyes. "It might take aome time." An hour later the bedraggled Baldy climbed up the path to the house with Ferdy. They passed the rockery and Baldy'a neck went red with a sudden desire to com mit murder wnen he caught view of Peggy suddenly releasing herself from the arms of Nigel. She ran to meet him. "Oh, Baldy," she cried. "Did they only just get you? They said they'd go right after lunch." Baldy eyed her with 1 glitter ing hatred. "You little . . ." Then he paused as he saw Nigel's fist close aignificantly. Peggy a eyea warned him to keep quiet. "1 ve Bxea everything, she said. "Not a word." She pushed Nigel back and walked with a auspicious Baldy. 1 ve got a new idea. I ve fixed everything." said Peggy con fidently. "Maybe you weren't bom in large family like 1 was. If you were you'd know that when they get tough the only thing to do is to string along with them for awhile and then gat your own way later. It is the easiest way in the end." So what?" grumbled Baldy rudely. You go and change and 111 be waiting for you with a Collins," she said. "Make It three, and six sand wiches," he growled. A LITTLE later Baldy emerged in a auit and loose jacket in a pal roae shade, beautifully i pressed, with ahirt of deeper ' hut. almost maroon, as a final im-' probable touch. Baldy took deep draught at on of the four glassea in front of him and bit deep into a sand wich. His eyes did not meet those of Peggy, who sat deep in a chair swinging one leg ever the arm. "It's this way." said Peggv. "Youv got to handle familiea gently. So I thought if I became engaged to Nisei . . . "That nrnW ........ tuRni oaiti.-, his mouth full.

Where's she gone?" Peggy soothed him by pushing the third drink invitingly nearer. "They drove away about an hour ago, just the two of them . . She paused while a hint of apoplectic crimson darkened Baldy'a neck and then spread over his domelike head. He gulped the third drink and grabbed the fourth.
