Has the ! Perhaps at a more fashionable wa- tering place Miss Bonnington's boots would not have created the slightest stir, but at Silver Beach the first ques- tion asked the newcomer on the piazza was, “Have you seen Miss Bonning- ton’s boots?” and a negative reply was | to admit a truly recentness of arrival, There was nothing remarkable about the boots save that they were of Nile green waterproof material Jaced high upon the calf. At the re- sort where stockings or at the best the sort of canvas slipper to be had at thé drug store for a quarter were considered sufiicient, the appearance ! of Miss Bonnington on the sands at ' the bathing hour was the signal for the gathering of a crowd of the curi- Ous. aialie Bounington professed an in- difference to the curious gaze of the hotel patrons and the natives, She| i could not help heing aware of the ex- tement she created, yet she did not discard the boots. ’ | Ridley told Limself a dozen times ! that he did not love Miss Bonnington | because of her beots. A dozen times ! he had started to leave the place and ! thus free himself from the web of the enchantress, yet each time he saw | Natalie without the boots—and stayed. In honest truth he could not tell| whether or not he loved the girl. Aside from these odd bathing boots, | her attire was most demure. She af-| fected the simplest dresses—and looked better in them than the wom- en who wore silks and satins all out of harmony with the weather, Her manner matched her garments, for she was demure almost to a point of affectation and never a roguish twinkle marred the calm serenity of ker full, lustrous eyes. Those eyes were Natalie's greatest charm. Ridley loved to lie on the warm sands in the afternoon, sounding the placid depths of her liquid orbs. At such times he " = > Her mnnvmwmw was sure that he was in love, and he was—until he remembered the boots. It was in this uncertain frame of mind that he took to dressing early for his bath, and then running up the sands, around the point well out of sight of the crowd around the boats. Not until he felt sure that she had gone back te her dressing room did he venture to return, but even with this expedient his heart continued to be torn by uncertainty. But it was to the boots that he owed the final answer to his questioning beart. He was running along the sands on his way back to the bath houses when, on the turn of the point, he discerned a huge sun umbrella. Projecting below the edge he could see Miss Bonnington’s boots digging desperately beside a mound of sand that covered the extremities of her | companion. Just as he passed, scarce- ly making a sound in his bare feet, he hexrd a kiss; a loud, undeniable smack. It was not the sort of a kiss he imagined some day bestowing upon | the arched curve of those red lips | when he hould have at last decided to | speak. He had mentally rehearsed the scene over and over again, now in a | dark corner of the piazza, again under | the sunshade, but always in his dreams | the scene had ended in her whispered “Yes” and his lips had touched hers, | tenderly, reverently, in the first kiss of love. That Miss Bonnington should seek a secluded part of the beach on which to indulge her osculatory tendencies was intolerable. He was a man easily ! swayed by little things and the loud- | ness of the smack had sickened him, while at the same time his loss told him how truly he had.loved the girl. He dressed as rapidly as possible and sought his room. He was too miser- able to mix with the others. He want- | ed to be alone where he could think ; it all over. | His room seemed blurred with im- : ages of the past. He could see the ! yellow sands and himself beside Nata- ' lie questioning the limpid clearness of | her eyes. He could see the piazza in the soft moonlight and the rapt look : upon her face 4s he quoted poetry to her; then they vanished before the image of the afternoon with the half entombed companion, the boots be- peath the sunshade and that smack reverbeinting like the noise of thua. | e the piuzza, watching the reflection of the moon across the broken waters. * Her face brightened at his approach and she impulsively put out her hand to stop him. “I have not seen you all day,” she cried. “Have you been {ll?” “I was a little upset,” he answered constrainedly. “Is it trouble?” The soft eyes beamed their sympathy. “In a way,” he agreed. “I saw something this morning that rather upset me. Around the point,” he ad- ded, meaningly. “Ah, yes,” she mused up the beach to bathe.” “Way beyond the crowd,” he con- firmed. *I like it better there.” “You must take me some morning,” she said. “I have never been to the point. Is it not absurd?” “You have not been to the point?” His lip curled in scorn. Probably she would deny the scene of the morning. *1 should like a quiet swim,” she said softly. “Do vou know that I have just found out why the beach is so crowded.” “Yes?” He wondered what she would tell him now, “It is because of my boots,” she said with a rippling laugh. “Do you know that people came to see my bathing keots. Of all the foolish things of which T have ever heard. It seems they were almost what you call a sen- sation. He smiled in spite of himself. Her mother was a Russian and at times her odd expressions were delightfully quaint. One might almost believe that she was sincere in her declaration of the new discovery. “The boots are a little—individual,” he agreed. “I could recognize them anywhere.” Natalie did not observe the empha- gis upon the last word. “They were very comfortable,” she sald musingly. “And the people were 8o disappointed when I did not wear them this morn- ing. “You did not wear them this morn- ing?” “I gave them to the maid who makes the bed. With $100 I could not give her as much pleasure. Is it not odd, their love of color?” This, then, was the explanation of that nolsy kiss. With beaming face he caught her hand. “Natalle,” he cried. \ The rest of the scene passed off as he had planned it, even to the whis- pered “Yes” and that reverential first kiss. Miss Bonnington’s boots had served thelr turn. “You go far Not the Same. “You seem to think it's pretty well settled,” sald Miss Passay, “that I'd marry him if he proposed.” “Yes,” promptly replied Miss Knox. “The idea! So ybu think a girl should be ready to say ‘ves' to any man who asked her?” “No, I don't say that & ‘girl’ should.” At Last.
