Meanwhile, at the other end of the

face, and withed most devoutly that he
were lest of a duffer.
He wat a big. heavily built young
fellow, with a frank, boyish face and a
laugh that wat very attractive In IU
genuineness. If you ever managed to
get well enough acquainted with him to
hear It Mi Wllmot bad board It
many timet when the wat alone with
him, and It told ber much of the real
man that lay beneath the awkward
reticent exterior.
Just now Endlcott'a trouble gaze
waa fixed on tome ragged bitt of red
cloud, the aftermath of a gorgeout tun
aet "I think I thai! leave In the morn
ing. " he tald uneasily. '
"Bot yon haven't been here a week
yet" the tald In surprise.
"I know," tald be, "but tomehow I
don't teem to lit. If a fellow'a going

out of coartety to me, they'll drag me
Into an these things, even If it doet

"Ton than't talk to," the tald.
"Coma, Ifa time we were getting ready
for that moonlight tall."
"If tbere'a to much at a ripple on tbe
water I'm tnre to be tick." be obterred
ftoomlly. "That makea It very cheer

"Ton have an attack of pewlmltm,"
tbe langhed aa ahe aroae. "Bait water

Tbey rent down tbe veranda togetn
r. At the goor tbey found Mm, Eaun-
naaloa amid

aera tinting e.ctredfy to her gne.
who were grouped about her.
"U'a dreadful," ahe waa aaylng. "AO

When tbe party atarted for tba pier
Cndlcott ttepped up to Mlta Wllmot
I don't believe I'll go bak tomor
row, ba whispered, "rerbapt I caa
flt after alt"
"Of course you caa," abe aald and
thought aa mora at ala worda uaOl
they had reached the end of the pier.
It waa than tbey found Cndlcott waa
mlaalng. After much abouttng aad
-hurried aaarch about tha Immediate
vicinity tbey atarted out without him..
It waa aaarly when tbey rrtnmed.
Mra. Saundert met tbem on tba tw-
raada.
"Where do you tuppoae Ted Endlcott

"Where?" cboruard aeveral voloee.
To tba Bownea. Ha la going to atay

died. Then when tba quarantine of tbe
houee waa at aa end he came back to
tbe 8aundera cottage to get bit trap
before he went back to town.
Ilia bouae party made a hero of bltu.
Tbe men tpled blm coming up the path
