Martin's wardrobe was of the ntfest and his last shilling had gone for the purchase of a pair of stout shoes. He ‘was hungry much of the time, as the early season weather was cold and the water of the cler-fed lske too chilly for ing, and Martin's sole earnings were about a third of a shilling for each lesson he gave.

You have the advantage of me there.” Martin, overcome by the necessity of carrying on 8 conversation with the celebrated author of phnnsopl_uca_} works, replied: “Very good of you He saw his shadow make a bow that quite impressed him. “I must ask you to make allowances for my Little Weasel if her manners are not all they should be.” said Dob- bersburg after a short silence. “A first acquaintance with her is apt to be sur- prising. She is very far from the con- ventional mold.” “Yes, indeed,” said Martin, smiling softly in the radiant moonlight “The blame or the credit is mine for bringing her up as I have. I lived for many years in the tropics, you see. I brought back with me besides malaria a complete dissatisfaction with Euro- peans. 1 write books about it—but who ever altered men by books? Good Lord. I've no delusions about the Promethean might of the printed word. But as for Puck, my Little Weasel, she at least hes been brought up by me after my | own mind. Brought up—no, my dear | sir, that is just what she hasn't been.| I wished to see whether the soft and primitive woman of the tropics—with all the enchantment of her simple u. spolled instincts—could not flourd: over here, too. Well, there you see the result. She is a delightful child. I, at least, find her delightful.” . . . As this sounded like a question, Mar- tin replied with alacrity: *Yes, in- deed.” He was in excellent humor. He had had a meal. “It may, of course, be objected that such a little girl runs a risk, a greater risk than another, when she arrives at bout expecting a de- wflnm' every day—I am expecting a let- Indeed!” sald the baron vaguely, & trifle bored. *That is splendid.

Do you hear?” | Martin listened, smiling: he could hear her voice quite distinctly. It was sweet and of a remarkable flexibility. He would have liked very much to hear the words, but they were lost in the murmur of the trees and came to him only as a succession of melodious notes.

All the mountain- tops stood out sharp and clear round | the lake, the Iron Tooth, the Good | Brothers, the Honey-Pot, the High Wall. | Once again they were to be seen below in the water, looking as if they were | taking a bath. Martin was out by 6 | and had tested the temperature of the A PROTECTED to the front near the office and chalked up 19° C. in huge figures on the black- board. With a little grunt at his own picture and its sccompanying placard by the entrance, he went off to his work. Matz, late a foundling of the workhouse and now promoted to sn official of the bathing establishment, was sweeping the sand with a stiff birch besom. The Saxon gentleman was there already, taking a sun-bath in his striped bal drawers. He was always the first to appear and the last to go, for he wished to make full use of his season ticket dur- ing the fine weather. o There were people already g on the beach, playing ball or doing physical exercises. Frau Pauline Mayreder, who welghed six pounds too much, was doing her exercises with zeal. She was bending from the waist without much success; she was swinging her arms, and undulating inward and outward at the hips in pursuance of & complicated sstem. They she lay on the ground and tried to get her legs over her head, This came to no good, and she went purple from her exertions, so she sat down on the sand with her legs stuck out straight in front of her like a baby. Martin, as he passed, raised one fair eyebrow. Frau Mayreder remained seated where she was and contemplated Martin's back view. A few intrepid swimmers were already in the water. For those who could fot swim there was a space marked out by flags, and these Martin had to move dafly according to the level of the water. From here was to be heard a continual t and brawling. Martin was kept in a constant state of irritation by this little colony of non- swijmmers. Every five minutes he went along with an anxious face to see if one of these tadpoles were drowning. ‘The gangw from which he gave lessons was carried on posts out into the lake and was always besleged by shouting COMMUNITY D.

You art wanted indoors.” Puck took hold of Martin's hand, the one she had bitten, and rubbed her eheek against it with the tenderness of & little animal. Martin murmured something confused and unintelligible and, drawing his bor- yowed bathing cloak more tightly about him, followed the baron out of the hut. Outside there was a magic transforma- tion. The motionless air was warm and clear. An unnaturally large moon swam in a sea of its own light. The lake| lapped, with a gentle, sleepy sound, at | the foot of the promontory on which | stood the castle, white among the tree tops. On the other side the shore was | edged with a chain of light. That was Frauensee. There was dancing at the Ehlg Petermann. Music was being played ere. Martin gave a slight shudder. His blood had got thin and chilled beneath his brown, taut skin during the last weeks.
