• No, my dear Dolly. 1 dare say you
will be expectiug me to come and apol­
ogize. anil implore you to come out on
tbe river with me, but you’ll have to
.end for me first."
With which noble display of inde-
pendeuee Robert Jamieson fiung out of
bi. room aud down to the river, met­
aphorically patting himself on the way,
and ail the time dreading the blank In
bis life which he would feel as soon as
his rage should cool down.
Dolly Parsons put on her prettiest
white frock aud a picturesque sun hat.
••If .Mr. Jam < son calls, tell hhn I am
out," she said to tbe maid. ”1 am going
on the river.
She told herself this last piece of In­
formation was for the benefit of the
servant, in case she required to know.
"When lie comes and fimls me gone
he will be furious. I will take my
eanoe and stay out till quite late. I'd
lore to frighten him thoroughly.”
Miss Parsons’ bright, blown eyes
flashed a little. A faint flush appeared
on her pretty cheeks—It was a flush of
anger, but It was eminently becoming.
She looked maddeningly pretty as she
sat in her canoe an«l paddled away up­
stream. It was a glorious afternoon,
and the river was looking its best; but
Dolly Parsons' eyes were not filled with
appreciation of the beauty around her.
She repeated to herself again and again
the horrid things Bob had said.
"No, she would not forgive him for a
longtime; it would not do; tbe circum­
stances were too aggravated. He would
becoming back expecting her to forgive
everything some girls must be so silly,
but he would fiml she was made of dif­
ferent stuff.”
And all the time she knew that she
dared not let her anger cool, for a hor­
rid, absorbing pain would fill her heart
at once, and a wretch«*d feeling of lone­
liness au«l depression, and she bated to
be unhappy.
She paddled on and on, until tbe other
lioata were all left behind. She was
very tired, but she would not stop. Her
mind was made up on one point; site
would frighten Bob Jamieson Into an
appreciation of her worth.
It was almost twilight when she
turned to go home; tbe river seemed to
have suddenly become lonely and de­
pressing; the sun had gone down aud
a chill wind had spruug up. Dolly pad-
died fast and splashed tbe water over
her pretty frock, and grew cross and
miserable. She had quite expected Bob
would have followed her to “make it
up;" she had decided how long she
would keep him In suspense, and how,
at last, to forgive him.
A elock In the distance struck 7. Doily
paddl«*d faster and faster, though she
was so tired she hardly knew how to go
on. She l«x»ked anxiously along, when
swiftly around the bend she had just
«lea red shot another boat, close In her
wake, It came so swiftly It was almost
on her before the sound of the oars
made her glance up; it came so close
that her cry to “look ahead!” came too
late.
"’■e screamed with alarm and missed
her stroke. The man In the other boat
looked around with annoyance written
on every feature, and then before be
could back water, the impetus of his
last stroke brought the nose of his boat
with a crash into the stern of her canoe,
which filled and sank Instantly.
"Bob! Bob! Bob! Help!” But before
th«* cry wag past her lips Dolly had gone
under.
“Great Scott! It's Dolly!"
In a second Bob had sprung into the
water after her. A stupefied face rose
above the surface and two hands strug
tl;ng wildly to clutch something; then
•he sank again. In desperation Bob
made a wild plunge down, and this time
’’•nght a bit of her sleeve. It was bare­
ly enough to support her by, but having
s°t a hold he made the most of it and
manage«! to k«*ep her up until he could
zrasp her firmly, then by degrees he
drew her to the bank, and In time man-

tunately had drlft«*d to the bank. She
was conscious again by that time, and
