Chapter 12
GERMAIN E TREMBLAY
The captain, Captain Rainville,
had introduced her to him the sec
ond day out. "Mademoisell Gcrmaine
Tremblay" the captain had linger
ed over the name affectionately.
"You have only to be down here but
a very little while, Mr. Howard, to
know what the name of Tremblay
means on the coast."
She had flushed prettily. "Captain
Rainville is always like that!" she
had protested. "Don't you believe a
word he says. He Is a great tease."
But Catain Rainville, who had him
self been born on the coast and
knew everybody had been even con
servative in what he had said. Those
of the coast who were aboard had
treated her with the utmost defer
ence; and Colin heard much about
the fame of the Trcmblays and their
connection with the north shore.
They had been amongst the earlt-
RIP'S LONG WALK
By Mary Graham Bonner
"Bow-wow, bark, bark," said Rip,
the Dog. "I haven't had a good, long
romp in ever so long."
"Why don't you take one now?"
asked Willy Nilly, the little man who
lived with his anlnmal friends in
Puddle Muddle.
"I think I'll do that very thing,"
mid Rip, wagging his tall at the
thought of the pleasure aliend of
him. "But won't you Join me?"
"I'd like to," sighed Willy Nllly, as
he stroked one of his side whiskers
thoughtfully, "but I really should
fix the horn on my automobile Two.
Ways and do so many chores. There
have been a lot of interruptions late
ly, and I've no more backbone than
a kite if I don't do some work."
"Too bad you fell you can't come
long," said Rip, shaking his head
regretfully, "but you dont mind If I
go?"
"Not In the least, not In the least,"
said Willy Nllly.
So Rip started off on his walk. He
hadn't had a walk in so long a time
that he went on and on and on and
on. Everything seemed so interesting
to him and he sniffed the good air
and stopped now and then for a de-
llclous cooling drink of brook water.
But after awhile he became very
hungry.
"I should have brought something
to eat along with me," he said. "I
wonder what I can find in this
neighborhood."
All of a sudden there appeared a
man driving a little car. The man
stopped and said: "How would you
Jike a nice bone?"
Rip got a smell of food, but there
was something about the man's face
he didn't like.
Tomorrow: Rip's Decision.

est settlers, the first Tremblay com
ing originally from Prance. Several
aenerations. Prospering; open-hand
ed, respected. In short, the story of
the Tremblays was the story of the
north shore and vice versa.
Colin frowned over his packing.
Her father was Dr. Louis Tremblay
of Cap a' l'Orage, the present head
of the family. He had married an
English girl. A romance begun in his
college days in Montreal. But his
wife was now dead. There was only
a daughter and a son left. The son,
following in his father's footsteps,
had graduated in medicine in Mont
real, and was now taking a special
course in New York. Germaine
Mademoiselle Tremblay was re
turning from a visit to some friends
in Quebec.
Marvelous hair like burnished
gold where the sun glinted it. She
inherited that from her mother, too,
probably. Someone had said she
could drive a dog team with the best
of them and yet she was scarcely
up to his shoulder.
Colin went up on deck. Her chair
was still unoccupied. He flung him
self into his own chair and tugged
a book out of his pocket. For some
unaccountable reason he did not feel
like talking to anybody not even to
Francois Joliecoeur, the old timber
cruiser over there, who told entranc
ing talcs of the coast and his own
adventures alas, not always true! A
priceless old liar! A great character
for a book written around these
parts! A book? What book? Would
he, Colin, ever write another? He
had his own skin now, to put it
bluntly, to think of first.
Somewhere a winch suddenly
sputtered and clanked noisily dis
cordantly. They were getting cargo
up on deck. A sure sign that ano
ther port was near at hand. Cap
a lOrage. He looked up.
She had just emerged from the
captain's room up there off the low
cr bridgc.the captain following her
through the doorway. Colin heard
her laugh ring out as she gayly
spurned the captain's offer of as
sistance, and came llthely down the
ladder.
How would he describe her if he
were Introducing her as a heroine
to his readers? He wasn'f much
good when it came to his "girl" stuff
never had been. Always afraid of
it. But he wasn't describing her now
in a lame and groping paragraph as
he rose from his chair to meet her
and they automatically drifted over
to the rail together he was just
looking at her.
I thought you'd gone down to
pack," he said.
"Oh, no," she laughted. "I did that
before lunch except, of course, Just
the few finishing touches. And you?"
"All set, he answered.
"Captain Rainville chased me
away." She waved her hand shore
ward. "We'll be in shortly. That's
Cap a' l'Orage over there. See that
bald old mountain sticking out into
the water with a lighthouse on top
of It? The town is Just tills side of it
in that little bay. You can begin to
sec the houses now."
"I see," he nodded. "Storm Cape.
I've always meant to ask how It
came by Its name."
Studying her, he saw the smllle
fade from her eyes as she shook her
head gravely.
"I am afraid it has earned it,"
she said seriously. "I can't explain
It. Of course, the gulf Is very wide
here, like the open sea, and you
can't see the other shore; but then
that's true in lots of other places.
But the storms do seem to center
here and at times are very violent.
'Besides, though the gulf Ls fam
ous for Its fogs, wc seem to get more
than our share of those too and so
often they come upon us almost
without warning at aoll The storms
are really very treacherous and there
is scarcely a year goes by that one
of our men is never heard of again.

He nodded his head.
"I can well appreciate that, he
said quietly. "And so that's how It
came by its name Is It?"
She nodded her head In turn; and
then her mood, changed swiftly and
she was smiling at him again half
teasingly, and yet half In earnest,
too, it seemed.
"Do you know," she said, "that I've
really been worrying a lot about you
ever since I knew you were getting
oir at Cap a l'Orage?"
He fell in with her mood.
"How awful!" he said tragically.
"No really!" she returned quickly.
"Madame Prenier does the best she
can with her so-called 'hotel ,' but it
is far from being a modern hostelry
and far, I am afraid, from what you
will expect. It's mostly post office
and general store. You know, we are
supposed to be hospitable here on
the coast, and I am sure father
would take you completely under his
wing, only" her face clouded sud
denly "I don't think he's very well.
"That's what has brought me back
a little sooner than I had expected.
But, In any case, I promise you that
you won't be utterly deserted . . If
you like an occasional tramp through
the woods . . . and I've got a rather
Jolly little motor boat, not terribly
swanky, but a brave little craft just
the same."
"Glorious!" he exclaimed enthus
iastically. "As for the rest, I am
sure that Madame Prenier and I will
get along famously. And besides"
He studied her for a moment. His
thoughts raced suddenly. Why not?
He couldn't go around everywhere
asking for Joe Lazarre! This was
the obvious, the natural, the least
suspicious move to make. He didn't
like that with her! But what could
he do?
"And besides," he went on, "I'm
not sure that I am going to be whol
ly a stranger in a strrtnge land. A
friend of a friend of mine!" He
laughed a little. "You know! I be
lieve he's down here at Cap a l'Or
age. His name is Lazarre. Joe short
for Joseph, of course."
Lazarre?" she repeated, and
shook her head. "It's not an uncom
mon name by any means, but I am
sure I know everyone in Cap a l'Or-,
age, and there is no one by that '
name in the village." i
Colin dug for a cigarette and
lighted it. Lazarre wasn't the man's
real name of course. Everybody in
the whole business seemed to in
dulge In fictitious names himself
Included! But Reddy had said that
it was as Lazarre the man was
known here. Not so easy, apparently
from what she had Just said, to pick
up the trail! And yet he had scarce
ly expected to find the man a resi
dent of Cap a l'Orage. Reddy's un
certainly as to Lazarra's exact
whereabouts had suggested a decided
question mark In that regard. But
someone in Cap a l'Orage must have
seen or heard of Joe Lazarre. j
"Oh, well," he said lightly, "It i
really doesn't matter."
"Wait!" she cried out impulsively. I
He waited. He liked the dainty I
way in which her brow was sudden
ly profoundly puckered.
"Of course!" she said. "I hadn t
thought of that! If he's a friend of
a friend of yours and moving in ex
alted social circles she was a little
witch she made him a staid bow
"perhaps he's one of the men who
come down every year to the club."
The club?" he echoed. "Then
there is a club at Cap a l'Orage?"
