The "summer man" was Indeed eiy sadly ku-klnc; at this faorlte ieott, and amoiiB the bevy of attracth e young ladles who swarmed the hotel piazzas dally, vasuely wondering If "the next boat would bring any leally attractive young men," were seveial mlsse.s whose .prospective foi tunes Tinulil hae made thrm enviable targets Indeed for mine designing noblemen ('.') with n title to exchange for good Anu-iUau gold. Like most jming men Winfieil rushing found much that was really onjojable in the many attractions that woe r-nn fiioil et the hotel to encourage- the fretiuc-nt visits of the handsome campers. In common with his associates he at tended these entertainments, and heie he met a beautiful picture of female loveliness Miss Klcanor Van Court -landt. of New Yoik, the belle of the summer colony and an lit-lrcfe to a very wealthy household. It was upon the occasion of one of these partleulaily blilllant functions that he found himself in the conferva tory with the young1 lady In question, watching from the leafy bower the giddy wnltzern upon the polished lloor. Pel haps you were not aware that I paddle, Mr. dishing?" she Inquiringly remarked, as she looked up Into his handsome face with a bewitching hinile playing about her lips. 'Indeed. I was not," speedllv leplled the young man, as he recognized in hei words the generous Insinuation that they conveyed. "I am pleas-ed to know It however. Have you a canoe heie?-' 'Not yet: it will arrive toii)iu-io, and then, sir, beware lest I iie-t jour alued title from you." h! u challenge?" he laughingly n sponded, and he t-nw u gleam of de light ami satisfaction in her ey as s-lie coyly answered: Well jes," and then her l.uis'ilng ice'iang through' the leafy nich.s of the loom in mellow iaden"e as she burst Into a peal of uniesiilue-l nur liment nd so on the morion, as the beau tiful helie.-s saw the light cedar shell borne fiom the steamer's deck to the v liavf her limit leaped with pleasuie as she thought of the davs of bll.s ihut vire in stoie ior lier, and AVIntied CiMiIng, fiom his station among the Huong iipou the nlcr, gnawed alnn st , lously nt his unlluhted Igar and Jlngk-d a bunch of kejs in his pot ltd us he softlv mmmuied: Pretty craft pretty owner,"' nnd tor minute later he was paddling swiftly out of the nai rows alone with his thought and In the glad sunlight that klsstd evu-y tiny dancing ueln and sent back a shimmer Ilk" bui lnshed silver from his chipping. Hush ing blade. 'Pile is a deueedly handsome nit I, theio is no dlhputlns th it." he kept soliloquizing, and he idled his , lade with still greater visor, turning the j low of the canoe out from the leafy shadows near the shore and heading for the bold promontory that juts into tt-e lake near the tlHtant toweling llghtli uise. At the Island, under the sh.idou of the blu tower, he drew uo Ills null ciaft and was soon at lull length upon lis back In the shelter of the Jagged li des thinking of her and tin- new lunoe. She leally challenged me," he mused, and the thought lecurred again nnd again, until ho found lilnit-lf unit ing a fresh ciaar oven liefoio the- Hist had been half consumed. Then the flash of something In the water e-ioe at hand, and the glint of a shimmeiing. silvery objoct, that was icilociei in his spectacle lens, caused him to sit up nhiuptly. (iieat Kcott'" ne ci-!alnied, "it she isn't out already," and he gazed anoss tin Intel veiling water to vheie, a num ber of rods away, a canoe with Us fr jiirtlo occupant was lapldly leailng tlio islinil, "I feel Just Ilko taking a tilal seln with this fair amazon," he thought, and Immediately )i Miode dow n to the water's "dge, and as he was In the act of stooping to launch his oanoo he called, "Wall a moment and 1 11 acconwany you." He saw her hesitate and turn with n Midden nervoua Man, and as he Hfn.i the light shell Into the water he fan cied that she missed a stioke, as though the surprise had "tattled" her. Then, us he took his paddle In hand, he saw the light canoe ahead spring forward with new life, and instead of pausing the fair canoeist bent to her task with a will, us though to ehallense hlin by her er aet, and In another minute she laid disappeaied fiom lc mound the jutting point of land while dishing, ;csolutely sent his feather like raft I'lmples, blotchoi. blackhead, red, roii"h oily, inothy skin, Itchlnc 6caly scalp, illy thin, and falling balr, and baby blemishes prevented by Cuticuha Soav, the most effective tVIn purifying and beautifying soap in tho work), as well ns purest and sweetest for toilet, bath, and nursery, (fUiCUM Por U told tbroarhoul th. world.

EVERY HUMOR r,S KSKj.r swiftly in pin suit, ileterinlncd to over take her nt once, if possible, ".She is no novice with the paddle, I declare!" was his coniplimcntaiy ejacu lation as he was uppronrhlug the nar low peninsula which still hid the fair canoeist from his eyes, nnd when, u few moments later, he had reached and rounded the unfriendly obstruction his lips parted In a whistle of surprle, for theie was no fllgn of a boat of any kind upon the water. At Hrst he felt a thrill of alarm lest the young lady. In her haste had cap sized her ftall canoe. Hut he speedily tcalized that had such a calamity be fallen her some sign of the light craft or its duinty spiuce blade must appear upon the surface, and nftor sweeping the entire circuit of the little bay to satisfy himself that there was no nils take, the young man pushed his boat In toward the descent beach of pure white sand, fully believing that Miss Van Couitlandt had landed nnd pulled her canoe from the water In older to play a Joke upon him. Sure enough. He had paddled but a very short distance when he beheld the Ugh cedar shell, still dripping from Its recent baptism In the water, turned bottom up beneath a stately pine, and no slcn of its chaimlng owner nny wheie at hand. He called her name lightly once, nnd after listening In vain for a response, repented the call, but still theie was no leply, and he speedily came to the con clusion that the young lady had been out for a tilal spin and had not com ted an Interruption. I thought her canoe had an alumi num gunwale," he mused, as he paddled slowly back to camp, and then he shook his head as he added: "I'll bo Mowed If It don't puzzle me, for that shell was ti limned in bronze. " II. "Yes, Mr. dishing, it's all settled at last. The landlord just Informed me that uriangements had been finally completed for holding a regatta the last of the week, and, do vou know I told Mr. Lewis to enter us in the mixed doubles vou and I ?" Miss Van Courtlandt paused, for Wlnfred Cushlnsr was looking at her ir. a manner that Mizzled her exceed ingly There was a strange light In the young man's eyes, a light such as she had never seen there befoie, and she wondcied what it meant until he spoke. "I thought joii eiiesed jour In tention of competing In the ladls" sin glet, piovlded the event came off?" "Hut. Mr. dishing, with whom would I compete" Surely not with Miss Walsh oi any of the Oakland people' T don't think j ou would leally onjo tilth lac ing now would j-ou?"

Then his Hushing giay ey-s soheied with a mellow light, for his thougnts wandcied to u ceitaln bronze. tiinimed eanoe that he had seen nniny limes under the shelter of (he1 big pln at l'.utsell's point, and he resolved that on the lollowlng day he would leain if possible who was t lie owner of the prettj" craft. They danced until a lal hour that night and Winfieit Cushlii; dieamed of an enchanting face and .i bewitching smile which seemed to glide befoie him constantly, a me-itor leading lilm on. He Awoke late on the following moin Int, with a ringing headache, mil after I'm lug pa i taken ot a t im of stiong coffee he launched his canoe and set out for a iilk tuin up the lake. The morning was cleir and blight and a flesh bu-ezefroni the west caused ihe dancing waves to spaikle around his Hashing blade as he sent the light ei.itt swiftly beneath the shelter of a loeky lee shore. Suddenly the young man behel 1 lountllng ,i point some half mil" away the outline of nr.othei ea"oe and in a minute ho had made out ihe oioupant to ) o female. "Miss Van Cortlandt is out getting Into fettle for that les.ittn." he niur muietl, ni'd then, us he yaw the canoe appioaehiug: ' Well, I hone she w 111 not think I must accompany her this moinlng, for my head Jiimnlns as it does now, 1 doubt If 1 could do the gallant - "Hello! Hy Joe! It's not Miss r.A'n CurtlMid's canoe after all. but that In nze-t illumed shell, nnd" He paused, while a riot of kindling i motions suddenly Hooded his brain and falilv relieved the pressure of hln ret ent headache, as he fixed his gazo upon the charming ottupant of the ap. pionchlng eanoe, nnd he found himself wondeiliitr whom she might be. wheie she came fiom, w heie she was stopping and thin, as the canoe came neatly abtenst of him he veiy courteously tipped his tap in obedience to the pre. ailing custom of boats, which signal the passing of one nnother. He fancied that he taught the slight est nod of lecognUlon a passing glume, so to spt-iik that sent tho blood tourslnz through his veins and In ought a cilmson Hush to his ruddy cheeks Somehow he could not resist the temptation to slant e back over his shoulder at hei ; there was something so striking beautiful, so betw Itching, so attractive In her manner, nnd, be sides, she could handle a middle with remarkable skill. Wlufied dishing went back to camp minus his headuche, but his mind was stiangt-ly preoccupied and his com panions noticed n mniked change in his demeanor. That afternoon they beheld him for the Hrst time in his neat-fitting summer suit that had thus far been sadly neglected for the more comfort able outing costume that he dally wore, and when ho told them not to keep sup per wnltlng for him If he should not return In season theio was some friend ly badlnuge nmong his Jovial associates as to whoio he was going. ' I'll wager a lime nf good c-Unrs he is o(T to dlno with Mlbs Van Court land," exclaimed Hnrold Tlleston, and somehow that appeared to bu the pre vailing opinion, for theio wete no tak 111. The tlav for the mm Ii-tnlUd-of le galist was at hand, liluo skies and a ni"rry tluong ot enthusiastic speclu tois crowding the water about the big stake boat gae promise of n success ful outcome. Kury kind of cm ft was theie. from the tiny cockle shell which indeed ami il'inced upon the spaikllng waves to the big double-decked Anueiiln the crack steamers of inland wiitcr.s--nnd all wcie laden with meiry crowds of human fielght. One ev 'lit after another was tun off with thrilling success. Th" big whis tles and their moie diminutive eonttin poruties shrieked and tooted list they had never blown hefore.whlle everybody shouted himself hoarse In a aln at tempt to outdo 1 Is nelghboi. It was a gala day Indeed for J.ake Sunap'-e. Tialnload after tralnkmd ut lived, and after everv boat obtainable had been cicwded Into commission nf tl there was no other means of reanliliis the see no ot the ta-es the shore In the immediate vicinity became black with' the inter ested spectators. At this period, when scoies of Intuit Il ea nnd lowboats were daitlng hither and thither about the 1udge' boat, the olllclal starter called for the cuttles Ii the ladles' single scull race. Almost Immediately the course was cleaied: a quarter mile straight u.i with a turn and back to judges' boat. Wlnfred dishing in his light shell, the Water I, lb', watched the result of this call, for his cheeks wete binning with Interest ns he thousht of the "dark hoiso" that lie had quietly en tered, nfter having devoted the better pait of two days to gain the necessary consent. She was there, and when Hleanor Van Courtlandt paddled lightly up to the lmaginury lino of stait nnd was greeted with a lousing leeeptlon by her bevj' of joung lady friends, who had eharteied a steam launch fiom the ho tel and come down with laurel vieaths and bouquets with which to crow n the winner whom they confidently believ ed would be the beautiful heliess no one nppeared to notice the tilm figure In jaunty flannel, ami handling her paddle like an expert, who quietly took her place next In line. Xo one" Ye, Wlnfied Cushlmr ob seived her, nnd when he shot her an eneouiaging glaive fiom his station near at hand It certainly leceived prop er iccogultion, nnd he saw her t hitch her paddle with Him lesolutloii as the preparatoiy slgral was given. Then they wcie off. J-'leanor Van Couitlandt was so positive of her su peiior skill thut she gave the lace hut little serious thought until she caught a glimpse of the bionzed gunwale slow l.v but mirelj' cieeplng pist her to ward the tinning stake. Then she turned n haughty look of cold disdain upon her ambitious llval, and she dis covered for th" first time that she was being ptced by a gitl of about 17, lair us a lose and with a delicate tinuspiir ent skin, ian blue ejes an 1 hair in Vihleh the gulden sunlight i-c -meil to nn It and lightly Men 1. i "It l Fanner IMsnn's little niniN." spitefullj- nullified Miss Win Couit landt, whose uiistociatlo nlioil Instant- i lv became tiled Willi a determination to , In now at any tost.

Then a iriltd thought inieittl the Sen Ymk heliess' mini. "What ir sho should de-fiat me, nt tei all"" she ynsped. and then Mie u tailed her words to .Mi. fushinir. Then she thought of the chigtiii thai must be heis If she permit tj I herselt to suf fer defeat nt the hands of a count! y liiiineCs daughter, "i v, m never lose it!" she llinilv dedaietl, nnd there was a dangerous Hash In the jet-black ej'fs as the tinning stake was almost i cat li ed. "Thej- tv n nevor.kuov." she trem ulously whlspeicd, as she felt her stifiigth rapidly yielding to ihe violent efioit wh'lrh she had mad.-. Then she suddenly turned the plow of her leader Just abaft the seal, and instantly there came a splash, a feminine shilek of alarm, and the vision of mi unturned canoe was Hashed to the spct tutors on the Judges' bmge. "The le.tdei has capsized' Miss Van Couitlandt is oyei!" w is ihe eiy that rose from scores of lips, while Ihe olll clal launch was headed straight for the stene ot the mishap til top spe. d. Then they saw one of the canoes safe l.v loiintl the stake, anil i.i another Mo ment the white, seaied face and uplift ed arms of the drowning ghl v.eie le velled close by. "Quick, or she Is lost' ' was the shout that echoed over the water.

'Hurrah' Huriah for beautiful Ma bel Udson," was the ringing ennuis tint Elected the winner of the ladles' -ipgle scull iaee, as she paddled light ly up the staiter's boat, and the gentl- teclplonl f all this far-sounding deni onsliation quleilj- accepted th" veidict of tin people and watche 1 n little steam launch wlih lis eiowd of voung Indie, and Miss Van Court limit on bo.ud c lidding away towaid the hotel.

Hut tho nice was by all means tho crowning event of the day. Not en. tirely bemuse of the fut t that Mabtl lklson. the bewitching winner of tin preceding event, had taken the place assigned to her former rival In tlK entry lists, but as much on in count of tho apparent closeness of the c n tcst. Hut down at the tinning stake theie llilll.tpiied a little Int Idem that was of signal Interest to but t wis Wlnfred dishing and his fair companion, lie had watched with keenest delight the supcib skill of Miss Hdson's method of handling the paddle, and noted with udinliatlon the graceful cuives of her supple model ot genuine grace, and It suddenly dawned upon lilm that she had won something In the race be side the empty honor of lcatleislili a place In his lieait. "Ho you really think Miss Van Courtlandt's uiifoituuutn spill an ac cident?" ho quietly usketl, as they pas. soil tht spot where the heliess had t-omo so near being drowned. Kho duitcd a quick compiehenslvo glance oyer her shoulder, which foi tilled the reply. "How could It huvo been otherwise?" And although AVInfred had seen the whole thins through his now ci fut field. glcsscs he did not think It necessary lit suggest that which he felt postlve the young lady alicady knew, Theie Is to be n quiet wedding at the old fin m house during th. holldn) Week mill as Wlnfied and Mubel look ed down from the hall that commanded a lciv of the old ince colli He one nut mini nfteinoon, he gently took her hand in his mid whispered.

"And, do you know when Miss Van Couitlandt left for home last week she sent me one of the nlecest little notes Imaginable, wishing me evetj happiness, and saying that 1 was about to many one of the best ye ung men living.

The Wanamaker Idea is never to speculate in merchandise. When our buyers strike a particularly rare bargain, we pass the benefit on to our customers. Not a penny is ever added to price because goods arc worth more than our cost. The Wanamaker History Club illustrates this. By undertaking to sell One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars' worth of Ridpath's History of the World we secured an entire edition at unheard-of figures. This history has never been sold for less than $48 to $175 per set, accord ing to binding. Over 50,000 sets have been sold at these prices. Would 50,000 people pay more than worth ? A very slight reduction would have sold out the entire edition in our two stores but our policy Cuts the Price in Half. Nor is this all to make this entertaining and educational work available to everyone that cares to know the characteristics and achievements of the men and nations who have made the world what it is today, we have organized THE WANAMAKER HISTORY CLUB. Join it before our edition is exhausted; pay the membership fee, ONE DOLLAR the xvhoc eight-volume set in any binding is delivered at once, you agreeing to make 15 monthly payments first payment 30 days after joining for the cloth bound, $1.50 a mouth ; for the half-Russia by far the more durable and attractive $2 a mouth; for sumptuous full morocco, $2.50 a mouth. The edition, though large, is limited, and the club will close without notice when all sets are taken. Members may resign and return their books within 10 days and club fee will be returned. Books delrv nxl free where our wagons run. We pay no freight or express charges.
