‘ Serial Story— ~ Frantic Week-End
"By Edmund Fancott
: CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO PEGGY, PLEASED with her brilliant staff work, slid into the water in her Hawaiian swimming suit. To the average man she would have been a perfect completion of the morning scene on that quiet laks, but Baldy closed his eyes. ‘It was all like 1 cover of a travel folder— Peggy the inevitable pretty girl with an attractive figure. All his life he had been plagued with pretty girls and sentimental scenery in the show business. He lay back and shut his eyes to forget it. If it had been Peggy's sister, Baldy mused, he might have kept his eyes open. In these days of fancy make-up and beauty busi“mess it was seldom one saw an honest-to-goodness homely face, one that had no nonsense behind it. Yes, she was quite a girl, and if he were a younger man without all that alimony to pay, hed pick a girl like that. Yes, a man could go places with a girl like Myra and not be afraid to leave her alone for fear of having tall, dark and handsomes hanging around while he was away. That was the trouble with Blossom. That was the trouble with Maisie
and Angela. He'd picked ’em from {
the show business when he still thought a pretty face was a fortune and good figures added up to something. o ” ” BALDY’S THOUGHTS drifted until he dozed off into quiet slumber. When Peggy came out of the water she covered his open mouth with his handkerchief to keep the flies out and lay down to dry in the sun and dream of her swift flight to fame. When she was at the top sne wculd come back to Montreal in beautiful clothes. Then some faces she knew would go green with envy. With this unworthy thought she drifted into a complicated daydream. Neither of them saw the reconnaissance patrol in the woods on the shore of the lake. Neitner saw the two soldiers with the skill of trained campaigners put off in the other canoe, approach the island silently, land and creep around to . the blue canoe. Neither heard a canoe drift lazily out in to the lake. aided by a gentle push. ' When Peggy sat up, the blue . canoe was almost 50 yards from the island, just about to drift out of sight. She looked at Baldy. He was asleep. She could swim out and get the canoe and bring it back. Peggy ran around the island and dived into the water, cutting through it with. the clean
+ strokes of a good swimmer, but
the canoe seemed to be moving steadily away. - 5 ” 2 SLOWLY she reduced the distance, but it was. a long pull. She was getting tired when Nigel swam easily around the end of the cenoe and with careful skill hoisted himself aboard. Peggy paddled the water with a look of surprise on her face. Only then did she suspect a trap. Nigel grinned down at her and paddled the canoe by her side. «Want a lift?” he offered with a broad smile. o She clambered’ abroad, suppressing a sudden desiré to tip Nigel out of the canoe, restrained by a realjzation .that she was too tired for fooling. She looked at Nigel, her green eyes calculating the proper reply to his obvious grin of triumph. “Paddle back to pick Baidy up,” said at last. ; Be doing,” said Nigel. “Let him swim back.” Peggy's temper’ flared. “You. .. you beast! I know what this is, It's all part of a plot to cheat Baldy and cheat me, Beasts! All of youl I hate them and you too! I loathe you! I never want to see you iy in love, Nigel should have ; n ove, Nigel xi disturbed by this burst of pashad: had the most of think about 1 and of Peggy's violent d of Regay's

ure and his laugh only made heft temper worse. ” t- =» WHAT SHE said in the next few minutes as they pulled to the shore should have withered him and cast his spirits to the depths. She made it quite clear, and in biting - language, person, his character, and everything about him in minutest detail, were the most hateful and most despicable traits she had yet met with. Furthermore, she was going to take good care that she never saw anything of him again. This made him laugh more than ever. : His laughter was the last straw to her impatience and as he threw back his head in delight she jumped up on the side of the canoe, overturned it, pitching both of them into the water. : Nigel swallowed more water than was good for his comfort and came up spluttering and gaspihg.

when a sudden twist of emotion as they touched one another crushed their lips together. With a frightened gasp. fearful of her own inner turmoil, Peggy pushed him away, clambered. to the wharf and ran to the boathouse. \ He watched her go with strangely still eyes. She turned as she stopped by the door of the boathouse. “I still hate you,” she cried. Then he began to smile again. (To Be Continued)
