The sun fell bright on his mane of yellow hair. He took in a deep breath. "It's good!" he declared. "It's great! And the water looks better yet. Shall we make it in a rush?" He began to plunge down the long, broken sand-slope. Each step was worth ten. Randolph followed with judgment. He would not seem young enough to be a competitor, nor yet old enough to be a drag.
My long fast it was now close upon ten o'clock, and I had eaten nothing since tiffin on the previous day combined with the violent and unnatural agitation of the ride had exhausted me, and I verily believe that, for a few minutes, I acted as one mad. I hurled myself against the pitiless sand-slope. I ran round the base of the crater, blaspheming and praying by turns.

On the opposite shore is Aberdeen, where Kentucky swains and lasses, who for one reason or another fail to get a license at home, find marriage made easy a peaceful, pleasant, white village, with trees a-plenty, and romantic hills shutting out the north wind. We are camped to-night on a picturesque sand-slope, at the foot of a willow-edged bottom, and some seven feet above the river level.
The beach, at its edge, was firm, and they strolled on for half a mile and cooled off as they went. The air was mild; the noonday sun was warm; both of them had taken off their coats. They sat down under a clump of basswoods, the only trees beyond the foot of the sand-slope, and looked at the water. "It's like a big, useless bathtub," observed Randolph. "Not so much useless as unused."
They glanced at the wrecked pantry window, and they looked with more intentness at the long sliding footprints which led away, down the half-bare sand-slope. Then they slid down themselves. Medora asked Carolyn to do what she could toward constructing a lunch and then walked down to the shore with Cope to compose her nerves.
