"Oh, if you don't mind," said th
girl in the broad lint, "wonld you put
this worm on for me?"
Hallerk looked tip. She was dan
gling a Hue in frout of bin nose, and
she held out to hi in a tlu ran.
"I simply can't put tliem on the
book," she said, with a little shudder
"I bate to see them squirm."
Ilullock looked at her again. She
didn't seem at nil the type of young
woman who mude acquaintances pro
miscuously. She bad a grave, direct
glance, and at present her mind was
bent seriously on the question of fish
ing. In silence Hulleck Impaled the worm.
"Thank you," she said and dropped
her Hue into the water.
In a moment there was a splash, and
with a little cry the girl landed a fish.
"Please take It off," she said, and
Hulleck found the line again dangling
in frout of bis nose, but this time with
a golden, jewel spotted fish at the end.
Without harming tho charming crea
ture Halleck slipped the hook out of
its mouth. "You'd better throw It
back," he advised. "It's too small to
eat."
"Very well," she said and watched
the little Buufls.li as it swam through
the liquid water to freedom.
Then once more she held out the tin
an. . ; '
"Flense put one on," she said.
Again Halleck patiently laid aside
his baud net and baited ber hook, and
again she dropped her line in the wa
ter, to bring It out again with another
infinitesimal fish. .
"This one is too small, too," Halleck
told her. "You can't catch any flab
worth keeping on the pier."
"Why are you fishing then?" she
questioned. '
"I am catching bait," was Uallcck's
Information, "and when I have enough
I am going out in my boat for pick
erel." Her eyes shone. "Oh, I should love
to catch a pickerel," she said eagerly.
"Do you know, those two little fish
that you took oft of my line are the
first I cer caught?"
Halleck looked at her with a specu
lative eye. "I could take you out"
Ho lumltateiL
"Could you?" Then In a business
like, way,-"How much do you charge
for nn hour?"
Ilnllcck b tared at her.
"I don't understand," he said at last
The grave eyes met bis in a direct
gaze.
"Aren't you the man who rents the
boats?"
"No."
"Oh!" Ilor tone was startled. "Oh,
I beg your pardon. I thought"
"That's all right," Halleck assured
her.
But her face was stained by a burn
ing blush.
"I must have seemed very trouble
some" "Not a bit. I am oue of your fellow
guests at tho hotel. I sit at the table
nest to you. I saw jou last night with
on elderly lady."
"Yes, my aunt."
She spoke abstractedly as she gath
ered up ber rod and little basket "I
don't think I will fish any more," she
remarked.
" J "Please don't run away on my ac
count," Halleck begged. "I am going
out la a few minutes, and yon can
.have the pier all to yourself."
Ho did not offer to take her with
him. He knew now that she was not
that kind of girl, and be was glad she
was not
, ilo put bis traps Into bis boat and
pulled out, lifting his white linen hat
gravely as his boat shot Into mid
stream. That night he saw her again at the
table. Bhe was in pink, and she wore
1 her hair in pretty go'den puffs all over
tho top of her head. He liked her lit
tle stately manner and tho deferential
way she had with her aunt
The older lady was tall and thin,
with sparkling brown eyes. The spar
kling eyes rested often on Halleck dur
ing the meal, and when dinner was
over and the two ladles passed him at
the table the aunt stopped.
"You are Mr. Hulleck r she ques
tloncd.
"Yes." Halleck rose and stood be
side ber.
"I asked at the office," the lady ex-
. plained. "My niece has been telling
me that she took you for a boatman.
She feels badly that she should have
spoken s she did. But I am glad it
happened. am Mrs. Evans. I know
your mother well, Mr. Halleck, and I
might not have met her son if I hadn't
been looking for the man that Helen
fancied the had offended."
Halleck walked to the door with her,
whore tho girl in pink waited for
them.
"This Is Mr. Halleck, Helen," Mrs.
Evnus said. "Ho isn't a bit offended,
ami be writes delightful books, as his
molner did beforo him."
Helen, surveyed him with the grave
eyes that hnd delighted him that morn
iujr. "Did you catch any pickerel?" she
risked. " ' !
"Four," be Informed her, "big ones."
"Helen is simply craiy over fishing,"
Mrs. Evans stated. "She has always
lived Inland, and now she spends
morning, noon and nlghl on the lake."
"I'll tell you," Halleck planned, "we

will go tomorrow, and we will cafcb
our fish. and cook them ou the Island."
And they went, the three of them, In
Halleck's boat and for bait they had
minnows, and their prey was pickerel,
and before noontime Helen bad caught
two shining, slender beauties, uud Mrs.
Evans, who, in a broad bat and with
a magaElne, bad mnde herself com
fortable, was moved to enthusiasm.
"Helen," she said, "we will come
every day."
"Mr. Halleck may think we are trou
blesome, auntie."
"Mr. Halleck will think be has been
blessed by the gods," said that gentle
man, and Helen laughed a little.
"I am starved," she said. "Let's go
and cook our fish."
So Halleck took them to a green,
cool, shadowy spot in the center or1 the
island, and there they broiled their
fish and ate their lunch in delightful
solitude.
That was the beginning. Helen, un
der Halleck's guidance, learned to
catch pickerel. But she learned more
than that, for Halleck whs teaching n
lesson of lips and eyes and heart, and
Mrs. Evans watched the two with
shrewd but satisfied eyes.
It was In the third week that Hal
leck unconsciously launched a thun
derbolt "Every time I come It seems love
lier," Helen said us they explored the
island together, while Mrs. Evans nap
ped under a newspaper.
"Yes," nalleck said. "Mrs. Halleck
always Insists that it Is the garden
spot of the world."
There was a dead tsileucc, and pres
ently Helen complained of n headache,
and they went home.
Halleck found it Impossible to get n
word with ber that night.
"I don't know what Is the matter
with her," Mrs. Evans said when be
sought her disconsolately. "She just
sits up in her room and mopes."
That night she said to Helen, "I
think Mr. Halleck feels very bad at
the way you are treating him."
"I don't see why be should." Helen
In a pale blue negligee was curled up
In the window sent. "I don't see why
be should. I don't think it is the prop
er thing for a married man to take us
boating, nuutlc."
"Married fiddlesticks!" ejaculated
Mrs. Evans.
"Well, he Is," Helen Insisted. "He
spoke to me the other day of Mrs.
Halleck."
"Never heard of her before," sniffed
Mrs. Evnus. And the next morning
she sought Halleck. He threw back
his bend and laughed when she told
blm, and that afternoon Helen, fish
ing languidly on the pier, heard a
voice behind her.
"Can you put on your worms?"
"Yes," she said. "They wriggle
dreadfully, but I I prefer to do It my
self." "Of course," Halleck said, "If you
wish. I wouldn't deprive you of the
pleasure." Ho sat down beside her.
"I thought you hnd gone out in your
boat," she told blm.
"No. I expect Mrs. Halleck this
afternoon, and I wanted to make ar
rangements." "Oh," Heleu said and pulled ber hat
deeper over her eyes.
"She will bring both of the chil
dren," he wont on.
"Indeed!" Indifferently.
"And her husband, if be can come."
He was watching her out of the cor
ner of his eye.
The lino gave a spasmodic jerk.
"Her husband!" Helen quavered.
"My brother. Funny, Isn't It, that I
don't call her by ber first name. But
you sco my brother Is a lot older than
I, and when I was a kid I always
called her Mrs. Halleck."
"It is awfully funny." But there
was a queer little quiver iu Helen's
voice. Halleck's fuee grew very ten
der as bo watched.
She drew In her line.
"There Isn't nny bait on your hook,"
be told her. "Let me put It on." Her
eyes met his adoring ones, and then
their bands met. '
"Let me do things for you always,
dear," Halleck begged. And Helen,
with grave eyes and smiling Hps, whis
pered, "Yes."
