PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE.
(Continued from page 2, Col. 6.)
vanced warmly. “You would be used
to it. It must be grand to be able to
play football the way you did, with
everybody hollering your name every
time you moved.”
He blushed boyishly. “Oh, I say!”
he protested. “You make me sound
like—"
“Well, it’s true, ain't it? I feel
like telling the manager so when he
gets off that sarcastic stuff about no
college hero ever being able to play
the game without a lot of applause.
Or saying that when it comes to real
nerve the felows do the dirty work
have twice as much—and don’t ex-
pect to be patted on the back and
tucked into bed every night.”
Don's eyes darkened. “Did he say
that?” :
Penelope hesitated. She knew just
what she was doing but had no right
to involve her chief.
“Well, not exactly,” she amended.
«But that’s his idea. I guess he's
getting ‘kind of touchy because every
time one of J. T.s pets quits, J. T.
lands on him.”
She looked at him expectantly but
he said nothing. He seemed to be
considering the silent pool that re-
flected the slender grace of the wil-
low or perhaps the shimmer of gold
on the tranquil river beyond. But
she had a feeling he saw neither.
And swiftly she felt compunction
—_as she should have, for under the
veneer of partisanship every word
she had said she had definitely bar-
bed.
“I suppose,” he began slowly—and
surprisingly, “that there is something
in what the manager says. But just
the same—"'
He stopped there and Penelope lit-
erally held her breath.
“But just the same I don’t think
I'm a quitter,” he finished.
He looked up but Penelope said
nothing. He was, she realized, argu-
ing not with her but with himself.
“I suppose,” he admitted honestly,
«I do like popularity and applause.”
«I'm rather keen for both myself,”
admitted Penelope, as honestly, and,
for a moment, forgetting her role.
He did not notice her lapse. “The
real question,” he enlarged, “is what
it all leads to. I had an idea that
it might lead to something worth
while. But now—well, I'm beginning
to wonder.”
Penelope forgot her role again. “It
can’t help but be worth while—if you
stick it out,” she broke in. “Can't
you see that?” ’
“I may be dumb—but I can’t.

“You

forget,” she interrupted
again, “that having college men like
you is J. Ts pet idea. It hasn't
worked out very well yet, but that
has him all the more determined that
it. should. He—why, if you only stick _.
he'll go out of his way to push you
ahead. I—I only wish I had the same
chance, I—"
She stopped short, conscious
something new in his eyes.
“Gee,” she amended swiftly, striv-
ing desperately to get back into her
role of Mabe again, “I certainly do
argue both ways, don’t I? Ma says
1 talk like a nut sometimes.”
He, however, continued to gaze at
her. He was, she knew, trying to
fathom her. And suddenly she felt
a perfectly preposterous, wholly un-
of
precedented sense of panic. She rose
swiftly, almost hectically.
“I'm always butting into other
people’s business anyway,” she added.
“Y guess I'd beter paddle my own
canoe.”
He rose, his trim six feet towering
over her slim five-feet-two. He said
nothing for a moment—a pregnant
moment.
It could not be anything but that,
for he, after all, was only twenty-
four and she but twenty-two. His
eyes sought, hers and hers met them,
curiously defiant. But only briefly.
They fell as he spoke. ’
«” «On, wad,’ ” he quoted, half
whimsically, half wryly, “ ‘some pow-
er the giftie gie us, to see oursel’s
as others see us’ . . . Well, you cer-
tainly did.”
Penelope said nothing—what was
there to say?
“You were very clever,” he went
on. “Almost clever enough to get
away with it. I all but accepted you
at your face value.”
He grinned down at her and again
something feminine stirred in Pene-
lope.
“Well, what's the matter with my
face?” she inquired, on an impish im-
pulse.
No use now, she knew,
to be Mabe.
He did not answer that but his
to pretend
eyes darkened, for a moment, as wa-
ter does when a strong gust sweeps.
over it. Then, abruptly:
“You did rather ache to tell me I
was acting like a spoiled baby,
didn’t you?” he challenged.
Penelope saw no reason to deny it.
“Weren't you?” she asked.
“T imagine I must have seemed so,”
he admitted. “I did expect a bit
more ‘attention—and approval—from
the powers that be.”
“But can’t you see that that would
only be stressing the favoritism idea
—and that wouldn't have made it any |
easier among the men?”
“Naturally not,” he conceded. Pen-
elope felt his eyes seek hers again.
“What made you pretend to be—well,
the sort of girl you so unmistakably,
are not?”
Penelope felt she might as well be
direct. “Because,” she replied coolly,
“jt gave me a chance to sting you—
without giving you a chance to get
back.
He grinned swiftly, delightedly.
“You did a thorough job,” he assured
her. “But why should you bother?
There must have been some reason.
Something that eludes me.”
“There was. I'm private sec to the
manager, you see. And I knew if
— _— ee - —
f you quit it would make trouble for
the manager—at least a letter from
/J. T. that would spoil his day and
| mine too. Men are that way, you
| know.”
He grinned anew. Then: “I had
' about decided to quit,” he admitted—
Ine did not, she noted, sidestep the
‘verb.
i “On,” she said serenely, “I knew
that!”
He did not look surprised, nor did
he ask her how she knew.
«But I think I'll stick around in-
stead,” he added. “So your afternoon
has not been wasted, after all.”
* Penelope herself did not feel that it
had been, somehow. But she did not
tell him so. She merely smiled and
moved toward her canoe.
“Must you go?” he asked swiftly, a
new note in his voice.
i He didn’t want her to. And he no
longer spoke with lazy assurance.
| Penelope wavered. She didn’t, some
how, want to go herself. And that
being so, why—be silly? He was,
really, awfully nice and—
“Do you prefer green olives, or
ripe ones?” she asked abruptly.
He did not look suprised, merely
grinned. “Ripe ones, of course,” he
said.
“I think,” sommented Penelope,
“that almost constitutes an introduc-
tion.” And with that she reseated
herself. Casually enough, to all out-
er seeming, but with a certain quick-
ening in her. That was inevitable.
. Experience—or perhaps the word
should be experiments—had made her
wary. Of, that is, the way a man
will ever misinterpret a girl's mo-
tives. This man, she had determined,
would have no mistaken conception
of what she thought of him. She had
gone to him not to bind his wounds,
pouring in oil and wine, but to apply
caustic. She had done that and still
well, he was obviously as other men.
i Penelope stayed at her peril—and
Penelope knew it.
The soft sunshine and the dusky
fragrance of the trees encompassed
them as they talked of many things.
And presently Penelope got the vol-
ume of verse and read bits from that.
And still later she produced ham
sandwiches and ripe olives and shar-
ed them with him.
| The pale enchantment that preced-
es the sunset came on and then the
sunset itself flamed into glory across
the western sky. For a spell they
were silent.
Then the sunset faded and she
came to her feet. “I must go,” she
announced—and offered him her hand.
He took it and held it, perhaps a
bit longer than he should. Then: “Do
you by any chance come here Sun-
days, too?” he asked.
“Usually,” admitted Penelope—
which was a considerable concession
for Penelope.
In fact: “Mabe herself might have
said the same thing,” Penelope in-
formed Penelope as Penelope paddled
back upsteream through the glamor-
ous gloom. Nevertheless, she didn’t
care. Not with the memory of that
which had leaped into his eyes as she
had spoken.
_ “But. supposing it rains. tomoe-
row?” he had suggested almost ap-
prehensively.
Penelope had not told him so but
she had felt very sure it wouldn't
rain or that it wouldn't matter much
if it did.
Because—well, because he was so
nice and because he liked ripe olives
and sunsets savored in silence and
Edna St. Vincent Millay and because
she knew now that he certainly
wasn’t the sort to quit when there
was anything definite in sight.
Even if it should rain Sunday. —

J. W. WHITE & CO REBUY
: BRITISH BUSINESS.
. J. W. White and Co., Inc.,, of New
York City, have announced the re-
purchase by them of J. G. White and
Co., Ltd of London, and in the forth-
coming annual report will disclose
the sale of the J. G. White Manage-
ment Corporation to J. H. Pardee and
J. I. Mange, president and vice presi-
dent, respectively, of the J. G. White
Management Corporation. The latter
company, it is now disclosed, was sold
early in 1928, although no formal an-
nouncement has heretofore been
made. These changes leave J. G.
White and Co., Inc., with two subsid-
iaries, namely, the J. G. White En-
gineering Corporation and J. G.
White and Co., Ltd., of London.
The British company, organized
more than twenty years ago, by J. G.
' White, was sold to their interests at
the outbreak of the World war. In-
creasing foreign business of J. G.
| White Engineering Corporation is
‘the reason given for the recent re-
purchases, arrangements for which
| were made by J. Dugald White, vice
president of the New York company.
The British subsidiary, which until
this time has been engaged chiefly in
engineering activities, will have facil-
ities for acting in the investment
banking field as well.
