With a grateful heart she thanked the Lord for his tender love. It was indeed true that Leroy was well. About ten o'clock his mother carried him to the lake and, having Bessie to row the boat, gave him a pleasant boat-ride. The fever never returned; his head stopped growing; and he became a strong, healthy boy.

That same evening of the night when they disappeared I heard Paul tell his father of the proposed boat-ride, but that Oswald and the two girls were going. They agreed that Paul should trail them and learn what he could. Paul told his father what he had heard in the park. Both seemed much enraged, but Pierre Lanier cautioned Paul to be patient and not lose his temper.

"No," Annabel was saying decisively, and yet with an accent of regret, "No, Edgerton, I can't." "But our last boat-ride," he urged. "Don't refuse me the last ride a ride to think about all my life. I'm going away tomorrow at noon, as I promised. But early in the morning " "I have promised HIM," she said with lingering sadness in her voice. "So I must go with him.

As soon as he had a chance to speak without being overheard, he said, soberly "Tom ought to thank me for that boat-ride, I suppose." "I don't know what you mean," she answered, with assumed carelessness. "I mean that you went to punish me." "You're sufficiently conceited," she replied. "Laura, come here; your brother is teasing me."

"Yes sir," resumed Miss Hassiebrock, her voice twanging in her effort at suppression, "I notice you're pretty willing to borrow some of my loud dressing when you get a bid once in a blue moon to take a boat-ride up to Alton with that sad-faced Roy Brownell. If Charley didn't have a cent to his name and a harelip, he'd make Roy Brownell look like thirty cents."

We were presently met by a breeze, which increased the swell, and made it easier to fail in close under the northern shore, a line of stupendous precipices, to which the ocean goes deep home. The ride beneath these mighty cliffs was by far the finest boat-ride of my life.

What kind of a brute had she married who would go away on a military picnic among his nice, warm cacti and deny his poor deserted wife a little boat-ride and a breath of fresh air? If she had had any lingering inclination to visit Jim in Texas she gave it up now. She went to Newport instead and took Pet Bettany along for a companion at Kedzie's expense, of course.

But this boat-ride had a curious effect on the four or five male members of the party. I did not really desire a drink at the time; but I took two, and the other men did likewise. Tell me that I may not laugh, and I wish at once to laugh my head off, though I am at heart a holy person who loves Keats.

He sailed up here from White's Bridge to see Captain Dingley, and invited Joseph Dingley and Mr. Ring to take a boat-ride out to the Dingley Islands and to the Images. Since the loss of my father she dreads to have any one belonging to her go upon the water.

He walked about the house in a fighting mood all the time, with brows drawn down and fist ready to clench. He must have one more boat-ride with Helen Minorkey, and he took Katy with him, because he dared not leave her behind.
