CUPID'S SUMMER SCHOOL?
tcopyrltf*. "^Co^;i8- 8. Mcaur.'
Tommy Darling?It was Thomas
Hendrlx Darling on the hotel register
?was In love. New, In a way, this
was nothing unusual, for Thomas was
so frequently, so variously and so ob
viously in love that no one at the Sea
View House took him at all seriously.
In other words, Thomas was'a whole
sale dirt who conducted his campaigns
so openly that had he sat In solitude
for an hour the er4?re summer con
tingent upon the island would have
remarked upon the strangeness of the
proceeding; not that, such an event
was probable when there were twenty
seven attractive and tractable young
women at band?that Is, all were tract
able except one. Tommy frapkly ad
mitted that he ^iad been rejected by
twenty-six out of the twenty-seven, but
when urged to eo ahead and make his
volume of ructions complete he
turned strangely reticent.
No one would have believed the
truth?that the twenty-seventh was the
real object of his adoration?and that,
despite his vast experience in tills in
stance, be became oddly incapable of
uttering the words that would pat his
fate to test With twenty-six of the
"Sea Viewers," as he dubbed them, he
was brave,to the point of audacity,
and not one of the girls felt her heart
touched by the turn of so much an
feather's weight; but with Janet Mars
den! Ah, that was different! She
might not take him seriously either.
Tommy really loved this quiet, self
contained girl, and his tongue stam
mered and grew slow when he tried to
tell in all seriousness what ho bad
ofttlmes spoken in jest In spite of
his mercurial temperament Darling
was not a flirt In tlie common accepta
tion of the word. Beneath his gayety
was hidden a strong, manly nature
that seldom manifested itself. Perhaps
all unconsciously he bad showQ this
better side to Janet tor hf felt in
stinctively that flippancy in her pres
ence was a desecration of the love he
nurtured far below the surface.
The weeks sped by. Pretty girls
came and pretty girls went Moonlight
sails and rides gave way to hops and
amateur theatricals on dark nights.
There were crabbing on the lake, clam
bakes beyond the Point and picnics in
the" woods across the Inlet and of all
these Tommy was the life, the bright
and guiding star. But tomorrow it
would all end. Janet was going home.
Tommy gazed moodily toward the
point of rock around which she had
disappeared. Seven wasted specks! He
was an idiot, a?
Tommy kicked over a camp chair
that, stood in his way and strode down
the steps toward the beach. He found
Janet with her new magazines perched
in a shady, sandy corner.
?'Your mother tells me you leavo for
the mountains tomorrow. I'm tremen
dously sorry you are going."
Tommy was-digging holes with the
point of her parasol.
His voice was genuinely tender and
earnest The smile died on her lips,
and her eyes softened; b&t after all,
his record was against him."
"Are you clever at figures?" she in
quired.
She had the parasol now, and Tom
my followed what she wrote in the
sand: ? . ' .
?'27?20=7'
Like a flash he reached for what had
now become Cupid's weapon. Under
the question he wrote clearly "27?26=
everything."
"The others don't count you know,
he added, looking out at the dancing
' waves. v ' ???
"Very clever of you!. What,a time
you must have thinking up all these
pretty speeches. When do you have
time to sleep?" ..Her raillery brought
a flush to his cheeks, and he clasped
his hands resolutely about tils knees.
"To be honest I haven't slept much
lately. * I've had something on my
mind. I've been trying to flnd a way
to tell a girl that I love her, .but I
can't make it She's not a 'summer
girt' you see, but the sort of girl one
would want winter and summer?for
all time." His flippancy had quite dis
appeared now, and Janet suddenly
shielded her face, w^h her hand,
though the sun had n*>t yet crept
round the rocky barrier behind them.
"You see, no one believes I've a^fl^art
for I've let the girls play football with
It till everybody thinks It's worn out,
but thst was just a counterfeit, don't
you see, and I want this girl to un
derstand that the real thing is all hers,
and I think it has been waiting for
just her all these years. Now, if you
could tell me what to say?how to con
vince her"?
His hazel eyes, from which all play
ful, teasing light had fled, were fixed
on a distant dipping sail, and he did
not see the expression on Janet's face.
There was a moment's silence; then
she drew a quick, sharp breath,
"You might"?her voice war<ver
low?"you might tell her that yoh love
her;" simply that nothing more-no
pretty speeches, but as if you really
meant it ?hd perhaps?perhaps she
would believe you." ? _
Tommy turned sharply and read
that IQ her "face which transformed
the barren sands into "a garden of
LlSden. ,
| Half an hour later Janet gathered
ap her books and handed them to the
radiant Tommy.
"You're a very docile pupil* dear, but
the first lesson is over."
Tommy smilingly accepted the bur
den she offered him, but still held fast
her outstretched hands.
"With such a teacher, sweetheart,
hope the book ot love will never be
cloned. We must try lo keep It open
always, for this is to be no summer
school." HENBY WINTHBOP.
