But not for long did the ribbon dance on the lake, for the sun gathered it up like a train and dropped with a sigh behind the peak. At least It seemed like a sigh from the fiery orb of the day, as though he were tired from his twelve hours of labor, but In truth it was leaves brushed by an evening wind. Amid those same leaves birds rustled restlessly and twittered. It was a time for. lovers to wander along the shore and cast pebbles into the darkening waters and make foolish remarks, or to sit on rustic benches and whisper sweet nonseuse. Two 'philisophers, a man and a girl, did sit on a rustic bench, but no such foolish remarks or sweet nonsense issued from their lips. They were not there to make love; they were just philosophers and friends. The man had never been In love,' he said ; the girl had been and was now, but not with her present companion.
