At midnight Gillespie and I discussed
the day's affairs on the terrace at
Glenarm There were Jong pauses in
lair talk. Such things: as we had seen
and heard that night, in the canoe-
maker's shop on the little creek, were
beyond our poor range of words. And
in the silences my ow» reflections
were not wholly' happy. If Miss Pat
and Rosalind had not followed me to
the canoe-makei s I might have spared
Helen; but looking hack, i would not
change it now if I could. Helen had
returned to St. Agatha's with her aunt,
who would have it so; and we had
parted at the school door. Miss Pat

I could have sworn that it was Rosa-
