Inza Burrage was there, with her chosen companion, May Blossom.

Inza was a beautiful skater, and so was much sought as a companion by the boys.

Three times did Frank approach her to ask her to skate with him, and each time he saw her carried off by some one else.
She was in a coquettish mood that day, and her merry laughter as she skated away each time proved rather tantalizing to Frank, who finally muttered: "All right; two can play at that game." It was almost, if not quite, May Blossom's first attempt at skating, and, although she was doing very well, her company was not in such demand as that of Inza.
Seeing May alone, Frank immediately skated to her side, and he was soon doing his best to instruct her in the correct handling of her feet.
They seemed quite absorbed in each other's company, and not even Inza's ringing laugh, as she sped past with Paul Rains, caused either of them to glance up.
At first Inza had not minded Frank's attentions to May, but, as time slipped away, and they still clung together, laughing, chatting, and minding no one else, she began to grow uneasy.
"Oh, she can have him, if she wants him!" muttered Inza, her cheeks beginning to burn.

"There are any amount of other fellows." That was quite true, but, in her heart, she knew full well that there was no other fellow she cared so much for as she did for Frank Merriwell.
From this moment she ceased to enjoy herself, and she could not keep from watching Frank and May, although she tried to do so.

She grew petulant, and those who were in her company found her surprisingly crisp and disagreeable.
Whenever she could, she skated past Frank and May, and she always laughed as she did so, but there was a false note in her laughter--it did not seem very sincere.
Paul Rains was a beautiful skater.
