was, besides, the man with brown,

like patient oxen, who rowed so many
hours on the lake alone, in abstracted
fashion.
Urace hadn't felt so light-hearted in
the years siuue her father's deat U. The
ttenso of elegant leisure, for a brief
aeaaou gave her au air of repose, which
became her vastly, as she crumpled
her roll leisurely and sipped oream aud
atrswberriea. Sue belonged for the
time to the ranks of Meld lilies, who
neither toil nor spiu, and beiug a lady

Urace put on her shaker bonnet after

"He in genuine ns his diamond mid

summing up.
lie was destined to remain in her
memory, it neenied. After he hid leD
with his pur.'hnse, she found among
the gloves strewn on the counter, a
charm, fragrant ami amber-colored.
On one aide wan n sl.ir and crescent
and the mystical word "Kismet,"
while the other side was covered with
eabolistic symbols.
Grace gave a guilty little ntart when
this point was reached. Hhe had been
wearing "Kismet" for good luck ever
since, had it suspended from her neck
by a ribbon at that moment, nml there,
a few rods below, wan its owner. Had
thing gone wrong with him since its
loss? He didn't look quite as happy
an the day lie hud pulled it out of his
Iioeket with some rumpled bills, ai
uck and Hunning's. As for her, things
had gone swimmingly. Khe had se
cured a better position thn very next

ring and her purse which she ha I
dropped on the stivet.
Grace might hnvn sat th're till
doomsday, without being disc ivered,
had U't the wreaths of nmoke fiom hin
cigar wiindered up to her perch and
tickled her throat into a cough. Her
face Hushed furiously. Why must
cigim always a rve her thin trick. He
would think she had coughed purposely
to attract nl tent ion. With that thought
came another cough which brought
Jack Hardy to his feet in an instant.
He craned hin neck for a view of the
face above, but it was mercifully hidden
by the nfiaier Hunbonnet.
"1 did uot know I had a neighbor,"
Jack mid. Hure enough tlm cough
had emboldened him.
"Von would not have known now if
your cigar ainoke had stayed at home,"
retorted Grace, who wan pitiufully con
scious of her disadvantage.
"In behalf of the eig,tr, I beg par
don, "Jack responded.
No answer came from the high Hot
ter. "I have thrown it away now," ho
Baid meaningly.
"1 see you have."
''Aren't you a bit louesomo up
there."
"No."
"I'm awfully luoesome dowu here."
Jack had reached the second "step,"
of the of the old tree trunk, and wa
looking off over the lake disconso
lately. "It's this 'Kismet' that ha brnngh'
us together," Grace thought. "How
ridiculous I Ha his lady lovo wjru

With this thought, Grace unbent a
little. He wa uot "flirtatious," and
ft young man in love with another girl
wai a safe enough coiup.iuiou for
her.

Moreover, she bad the Wantage.
Not an inkling of her identity had
dawned upon him, but she know at

They talked ot New York. Jack let
fall that he was from California, and
ha l tirst seen Gotham six months ago.
Urace was demurely retioont about
herself. There was no need of uu
folding herself before stranger.
They sat, talking pleasautly enough,
until lunch wa aunounoed by the
"toot, toot" of horn. They saun

out ao much as ft siugle kuowiug
glance being exchanged betwaen those
already gathered at the table. "We
are a picked company and can do as
we please," win the motto at Brim

good deal of time together, after that.
They boated, aud walked, and talked,
