Bob declared he would be quite contented in the back yard with a hammock and a book. Pete was sure that a tiger-hunting expedi- tion to Central Africa was the only thing that would restore his shatter- ] ed nerves. after the hard work of the winter. Mother said the children did need a holiday. poor things! And our paternal relatives told us to stop quarreling and be thinkful that we had any vacation at all; when he was young people didn’t think holidays were necessary. It was at this point that Charlie came to our rescue.

He came forward with the handsome offer of a whole day's trip, entirely at his expense, to some far away point where he had spent several of his summers of student life. He was to choose the destination and no one was to ask ques- tions. After that every one was to go his own way, provided his money would take him. The result was that we found our- selves at a reasonably early hour the next morning, comfortably seated, and steaming out of Union Station, in a northern bound train. We thought of Gravenhurst or Brace« bridge, or some point in Muskoka. as a possible destination, and Pete even suggested Dawson City, as the limit of Charlie’s generosity, but the Bis- hop kept his own council, so we flew north and were content. He grew quite conceited when we be- gan to admire the landscape about us. and pointed out each new adornment as though he had provided it in the treat. And he certainly had reason gto be proud of the exhibition. Miles of never-changing farm lands. all heavy with the burden of the coming harvest. cool green woods. little broad valleys where the cloud shadows chased each other over green and brown and golden fields, all flew past as we clattered along. At intervals we stopped at a pretty little town, or roared through a less important one with noisy indifference. 1‘ 9LL Pete sat in a seat all by himseu Wuu his hat on one side of his head, whistl- ing the “Limited Express" in perfect time to the clatter of the train.

Pretty soon we found ourselves out1 111 the open lake. where the breeze was fresher and where the blue waters rip- pled away to the south and east as far as the eye could see. We kept close to the western shore from which the land stretched up and up away to the dim horizon, every acre of it well culti- vated, except the dense fringe of trees Lthat adorned the shore. The wil- lows hung down over the water’s edge. and were reflected in its cool green depths, except when the swell of our boat disturbed its clear surface._ “cinema little bay had its shores well lined with summer residences. with here and there a merry oampers' party or a group of hilarious bathers. But when we came out into the lake the shores became less thickly populat- ed until at last only the quiet farm houses appeared set here and there on the wide s10ping plain, and no sounds broke the stillness save the putting of “I- vâ€"v V-w â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"__ our little vessel-“or the or}; of some white gulls that were sporting far out on the blue water.

Bob and Alice promenaded what little deck space there was, while the rest of us lounged round on rather uncomfortable seats, and watched public in a corner. Pete pretended to be overcome by the touching scene. and fell off his stool with a th‘ud. But 'even sentiment and scenery will not pro vide for all the wants of nature. and soon there were anxious enquiries re- garding a lunch. And we found that here again the BishOp had showed his thoughtfulness. Sandwiches, salad. cake. and, in fact, everything good came out of a basket packed at Barrie. and behold, a bright-eyed little boy. who apparently regarded everyone as his special friend, came smiling round with cups and saucers and delicious hot, steaming tea for every one on Charlie confessed that he was not the author of this generosity ;. and we were almost too amazed to thank the boy when he informed us that “they always did this." even Pete was speech- "Orillia," said Bob. “80 that’s wne we're going, is it 2” “Next time I confide in you 1" as the Bishop, gazing as reproachfully his benevolent countenance would ‘ low at the stricken sinner. who 1 . o L- L:n Al‘11n’ lik‘ the shore. and. planation that it meant. so there was no more boat to cross th peace.

A perfect little beauty, long and winding like a river, with dense- ly wooded shores, and fairy-like islands rising out of the still water, like great bouquets set upon a mirror.
