The boy eyed her warily •as she
marched before him down the grassy.
slope, ttnd through the orchard.
-But he, reassured her about the cot-
tage. He said the, Captain would sur-
ely rent it, because it was for rent,
Naturally, that settled it. If Gay
wanted it, it was hers, And Gay
wanted it.
The, house to which he took her
was but a short distance up the same
lane.
"If you make the deal with the Cap-
tain you'll get it cheaper," he cau-
tioned her. "13tit they may try to
wish you off on Miss Alice, 'cause
she's the administrator, and•she_holds

her touch by a little old man, very
gray, very frail, yery gentle. If he
felt surprise 'at : sight of' the boyish
girl hi 'khaki gray and red leather on
his step he gave no sign, but in a
spft andgentle voice he greeted her.
"May I speak to the Captain?" she
began brightly.
"Well, now, I guess you can, seein'..
's I'm the Captain myself," he said
sociably, and stepped out discreetly,
to the porch, making as if to close
the door behind hits. ,
But his attempted seczec`,y. ,failed.
The closing door was suddenly ar-
rested.. •
A firm hand 'appeared in the aper-
ture, ands closed upon his arm. The
Captain looked back with gentle im-
patience, •
"Lady wishes to consult with'me—

"Now, ' Cramp, you wouldn't .keep
the lady standing," remonstrated a

opened, the Captain was drawn back
tothe kitchen.

curled his thick lips over his teeth, in
resentment at this intrusion in his
kitchen. The`three,wornen retired at
once to their work in different parts
of the robm,and the Captain. filled his
her grave eyes, the tired drooping of
her fine red lips.
The rest ' that Gay Delane came
seeking in the Nortbland, she had
earned indeed. Years of wilful slav-
ery to paint brushes and palette, dog-
ged persistence at her easel in the
face of physical exhaustion, led inev-
itably to relinquishment of hopes, am-
bitions and plans, and Gay Delane
was obliged to turn the key at last
upon her pretty studio in Greenwich
Village and go in search of recreating
rest among tate cooling breezes along
the °pine -girdled coast of the North.
Her slender sturdy foot was first
upon the gangplank, and it was she
who led the stream of eager tourists
ashore, making her way with impa-
tiently quick assurance to the head
car of a line of waiting taxis. Her
brisk gesture of intent to ride brought
up a tall, fair, freckled lad, who came
with slow but willing gait, an am-
bling roll
m-blingroll to his locomotion that was
almost seaworthy.
"I want to look at cottages," she
said briskly.
"Well—all right," he assented slow-
ly, in the soft New England drawl
that curiously harmonized with his,
walk, Gay thought. He cranked the
car and slid into. the � driver's seat.
