Once ashore they made their way as near to the rapids as possible. The water boiled in fury as it rushed by the rocks that opposed its way. They met at dinner, and he observed her closely, but discovered not the smallest impropriety in her conduct. Her smiles and her beauty again wound their fascinations round his heart, and in the excess of their influence he was almost tempted to repair the injury which his late suspicions had done her, by confessing them at her feet. The appearance of the Cavalier de Vincini, however, renewed his suspicions; his heart throbbed wildly, and with restless impatience he watched the return of evening, which would remove his suspence. “I beat, too!

“John dear,” said Mother, “you are not to use such expressions.” A stretch of good going gave them time for a little reflection. Bob busied himself with thoughts of a possible dam site.
