Then. } realized that the blood wes flushing my face. Was it possible that Alice, Or anyone, could think that Karl Shepard was in love with me? "White vidlets and the word 'For- give!' '* All" those little notes and flowers at the hapsital! His inter. ferénce in John's flirtation with Bess Moreland! Still I, could not believe it might be true!' 4 Almost as if in answer to my silent heart questioning Helen said: some Mr. Shepard has besn-« bach- elor so long? Propinquity can not have much force in his case, or he would have long ago fallen in love with some girl of your set." ~ "Propinquity has two distinct re- sults, A person either grows very fond of another or mutual dislike ensues.' But while I was saying this the phrase "white violets and the word 'Forgive!" " was floatlug through my mind, Not a Wicked Woman. I don't think I was a wicked wo- man because the thought gave me a little joy, a little pleasure, a Nttie warming about my heart. My bruised spirit had been so hurt and torn that the fact that someone in this wide world was ready to pour the balm of adulation upon it was consoling. However, I still had seise enough to know in thet direction danger lay, and I rose quickly from the table, saying : : "Come on, Helen; I'm going for 'a long Bike. Let's walk up to the in- let and Aa "Splendid," said Helen, as she ad- justed her step to mine, and in a moment we were on the board walk. Helen and I had no need of asking each other if we were real friends. We proved it daily by the long, mean- ingful silences that fell between us. This morning we covered the distance from the hotel to the inlet without a word. The sun came out gloriously, and long before we reached our ob- jective I had to remove my heavy sweater. Much to my surprise, how- over, I found that my breathing was a little labored, and the first words that I said to Helen were: "I've got to get back into athletic trim. You see it has been months since 1 have done any of my old stunts. I hope I look as well now as you do," I com- mented as I turned to her, Her glow- ing cheeks and brilliant eyes made her appear like the girl I had known snd loyed so may years. . "Strange isn't it that that hand-{ed DAILY BRITISH WHIG Katherine?" she said, as her han went out as if in invitation to the sun and sea, "Is it?" I asked, and then I added: Y"Yes, of course #t is.

"I'll race you back the first half mile," she said, as she looked quick- ly down the walk to see. if there were many present to be interested in our mad prank, "All right! Here goes!" I answer- gone half the way I felt my heart pounding 1d my breath coming in +short gasps. 1 stopped abruptly and seated myself on a bench beside the walls: Helen looked around in surprise, and then came back in great conmtri- on. v "Oh, my dear, my dear, I forgot that you had not fully recovered from your illness! After your bath this morning you looked the picture of health. Forgive me, won't you?" "White violets and the word 'For- give!'"! Again the words seemed to stare up at me from the white sheet of Alce's letter. Utterly Vain and Conceited. How foolish! How utterly vain and conceited I am! Certainly if Alice had dreamed of the importance I should attach to her words, she never would have written them! this kind or she would not have been so quick to have helped Kar] Shepard to make his flower-laden devoirs easy. My heart would not stop pounding. I grew a little frightened, and I'think Helen did also, for she seated herself quickly beside me and 'threw her arm about me. For a few moments I rested quite relaxed with my head "Helen I am afraid I won't be able to walk back to the hotel. Hail that roller chair and we'll ride." "1 shall never forgive myself, Katherine, if anything happens to de- lay your recovery while you are with me."

At first thought, a resident being asked such a question, might reply, "From the small rivers and streams that empty their waters in- to the great lakes." But not 80; or rather but a small» portion not amounting to, as the old saying goes, a drop in the bucket. The spring freshets of snow and rain water raise the waters of the lake and river an average of about two feet, reaching the maximum about the latter part of June, then slowly sub- side until the following spring.
