And then Ruth had spoiled everything. She was one of those saccharine persons whose mission in life is to shed sweetness. She cooed like a mourning dove at every opportunity and was quite pretty in a soft, fluttery, way. Her elders said she had a beautiful nature. But she was apt to cloy if taken in steady doses. For that reason Ruth was always avidly interested in the appearance of a new man in town. And somewhere she heard about Ritchie Graham. She promptly telephoned Kathleen and insisted that he be added to the party. All things considered Kathleen arrived home practically ready to throw things. Laura was lying down with a touch of headache or so she had given out. Sut when Kathleen heard about Tom she surmised that her mother had gone to bed of a heavy heart Privately Kathleen thought her brother was well rid of an unpleasant Incubus. To Kathleen's surprise Shirley was also going to the swimming party. They didn't usually run in the same crowd except at very large affairs to which the whole town was invited. But Shirley gave the show away when Kathleen in all innocence asked if they couldn't all four go together. Away from Ritchie, Kathleen was not at all anxious to be alone with Gene Mays. "Sorry," said Shirley evenly, "but Connie Mays asked us to ride over with her and Lance Ferguson." "I see," said Kathleen, staring fixedly at the red leather belt she was fastening about her. She did see a lot. Of course Connie had engineered the whole thing. She had probably refused to go at all unless Jaird was invited. And Ruth was one of Connie's But to get Jaird, Shirley had to be included. Only Connie, with her usual brazen disregard for other people's rights, had arranged that too to her own taste. Ostensibly sheep, Lance, a weak little baa-bawas Connie's date. Actually he was being taken along for the ride, as Kathleen knew. And of course so did Shirley, even if she did not breathe out fire and brimstone as Kathleen would have done. In the end they went off with their respective swains, Shirley first. Both Kathleen and Laura noticed mat Connie had waited till the last to collect the second girl. And when her smart car disappeared, she was driving as she usually did with one hand, while she faced the back seat and carried on an animated and conversation with a rather silent Jaird and a totally silent Shirley. Hot Shot Mays drove up almost before his sister's dust had settled. He was in a terrific hurry to be on his way. He did not Dotner io exercise his famous charm on Laura. most It was not necessary with overmothers. As a rule they were whelmingly on his side.

W ' ' m Anyway," as Ruth brightly while Ritchie was helping her unload hampers and thermos Jugs, "it's so primitive to eat out under the trees, don't you think?" "Absolutely," he agreed. Kathleen darted him a glance. Ruthie was goinp strong in her own sweet way. But Ritchie appeared to like his flattery rank. If he was even aware that she was hanging around the outskirts, he concealed it. Shirley was helping Ruth collect the various eatables in a sheltered spot. But Connie Mays never put herself to such inconveniences. "I'll bet you a kiss, Jaird, that I beat you into the water," she challenged. "Say," growled Hot Shot Mays, "did we come out here to swim or what? I'm hot as two firecrackers." "Come on, Hot Shot," cried Kathleen crossly, slinging her bathing "You sort of make a feller pin his ears back in that outfit," said Hot Shot Mays. suit over her shoulder, "how's for getting dressed? And don't be all day about it, Tarzan." When she emerged in her brief e white suit, a scarlet bandana about her head, Hot Shot was waiting for her at the diving platalform, but Jaird and Connie were water. the in ready "You sort of make a feller pin his ears back in that outfit," said Hot Shot Mays as his hard blue eyes traveled over Kathleen's lithe young body.

She was beginning to wish that he'd go off somewhere and die for a week or two. Her pointed face took on a slightly haggard look. She did not beg for quarter. Somehow one didn't with Gene Mays. But there was still that catch in her side, only more of it. A little grimly Kathleen made for the big buoy at the upper end of the lake. It was quite a distance, but ordinarily no swim for her. Nevertheless, strangely it seemed to come no nearer however many strokes she took, and her limbs felt weighted. Lethargy attacked her arms. She glanced over her shoulder. She was quite far away from everybody. Even Gene had paused to filch a pair of water wings from a small girl who was doing her utmost to hang onto them. Kathleen measured the distance between going back and struggling on, and decided the buoy was nearer. Even then it did not occur to her she might not make it Again she risked a glance over her shoulder. Hope clanged a brazen bell in her heart. Gene had draped the water wings about his neck and was again swimming after her. Kathleen sobbed once. She knew by the exquisiteness of her relief how nearly she had lost her nerve. She had only to stay afloat till Gene reached her. She turned over on her back. But the cramp in her side doubled her up. She went under, gasped and almost lacked the energy to come up. "You would run off and make me wea' myself out chasing you!" shouted Gene. He was only a few feet away, flailing water like a porpoise, and laughing uproariously. If he ducked her again Kathleen was suddenly frantic. She tried to call out, to tell him she was exhausted. But the muscles in her throat locked with panic and fatigue. "All that goes down is bound to come up!" bawled Gene and made a dive for her feet. He meant to drag her under. With a terrible bitterness Kathleen realized that he would probably repeat the process with appropriate brays of laughter until finally she did not come up at all. And then he would feel dreadful of course. But she wouldn't be there to witness his remorse. She tried again to call out, failed, and saw Gene gathering his huge muscles for the lunge. "You damned fool, can't you see she's in trouble?" cried a sharp age.
