CHAPTER IV Anne packed for a space, then gave It up. Sbe couldn't go on with it, she wanted to lie downstairs, not lose one minute o f the last evening at (lull Island. Her spirits, oppressed by Joe's hehuvior, began to bubble again, foam tip In sparkling effervescence. She slipped off her negligee und chose her most becoming dress, leaf green crepe that made her look slim as a reed and turned her skin to Ivory. she said to herself with a satisfied nod and drew a freer breath. The weight lifted, she went across to the garden where she might find Bassett, and as she covered the space between the doors the picture of the launch rose on her luti ai vision with Gabriel the only visible occupant. Bassett was not In the garden, hut Shim was, sauntering into view from Hie balcony end. He'd been loafing about, he said. Just come up from the I ’oint. They strolled about on the luties of turf between the massed col ors o f parterre and border, the air languishing!}’ sweet with the scent of the closing flowers. Then they went In, luxuriously embedding themselves in two vast armchairs. Bassett found them here and tried to look genial at the a'grht of Shine. They talked about the moon and moonlight eflTects. Shine wanted to take some photographs after supper, get the pines ugulnst the sea and the silvered hulk of the I’oint, and he spoke of his flashlight picture, which they’d have as a remembrance of Gull island. Anne said that was a Jolly Idea, but she didn't think they'd need a picture lo remind them of their slay, and she and Bassett exchanged a smile. It was still on their lips when a sound cuttle from outside, a single sharp detonation. It fell upon the eve ning's tranquil husli, sudden uml startling, like something alien und un related. "What was that?" said Anne. "Sounds like a shot," Shine thought. "It couldn't he!" Bassett got up. "Nobody lias a pistol here und If he had lie couldn’t use It—one of the special stipulations Driscoll made when lie lent us the place.” He moved to the land entrance and looked out. The door o f Mrs. Cornell’s room opened on the gallery and Miss I’ ink- ne.v emerged, Mrs. Cornell behind her. ‘‘.Mr. Bassett,” slip cried, a hand on the railing. "W here’s Mr. Bassett?" Bassett drew out from under the gallery und looked up at her: “ Did j ou hear that?" " i did and I told you that Mr. Dris coll never allowed any shooting on the premises.” “ Do you think that was a shot?" "W ell, what else was it?” Mrs. Cornell, leaning comfortably on the railing, suggested that it might be an auto tire. This drew a snort from Miss Pink ney : "How'd a motor get here— swim or fly?” Then lo Bassett: “ Mr. Dris coll’s very strict about that. He won’t have the wild game or the gulls dis turbed and—” Bassett Interrupted her: "That's all right, Miss Pinkney. We were given those orders und we've obeyed them. And none of us could shoot here If he wanted to— there's not a pistol in Hie outfit. Don't you know it's against (lie law to carry one?” "Then someone's taken mine," she exclaimed, und straightening up with an air of battle, ‘'I'm coming down.” She left the gallery for the rear stairs. Mrs. Cornell in her wake. "What does she meau— hers?” Anne asked. “ I don’t know what she means." Bassett looked irritated. “ It's the first I've heard of It.” "1 don't see what there was to shoot at, anyhow," came from Shine. "Looked to nte when I was out there us If all the gulls hud gone to bed.” Miss Pinkney, entering, focused their attention. "What's this about a pistol of yours?" Bassett asked. She answered us she walked ueross the room to a desk under the gallery: "It's the one Mr. Driscoll gave me. thinking It might be useful when I was here alone, opening or eloaing the house. I was to keep it loaded and have it handy, but I'd trust my tongue to get rid of any man and here It's lain with the poker chips." She pulled out u side drawer of the desk. "T h e re !” she exclaimed, turning on them In gloomy triumph, "What did I tell you! It's gone.” Bassett looked Into the drawer: "You're sure It was here?" “ Didn't 1 see It tills morning when I imt away the counter» you were playing with last nlglit?" "Umph !’’ Bassett hanged the drawer shut In anger. ’’I’ll see Hint this Is explained to Mr. Driscoll. Ami who ever^ taken It. they'll get what's earn ing to them.

Athletic Interests Lead to Increase in Morality and Moral Standards By STEPH EN E. KRAM ER, School Supervisor, Washington. I M M O R A L IT Y is not found among the athletic boys and girls bnl among the bespectacled bookworms. The boy and girl who take active interest in athletics and participate in the games have too much to think of, too much demand on their energy, to have time and surplus energy to devote to immorality. The finest thing which is said of athletics is that it tends to increase morality and moral standards among our young people, gives them a bet ter and cleaner outlook on life and a better appreciation of the advan tage and desirability of having clean, wholesome minds as well as clean, wholesome bodies. There will be no effort to force girls back into costumes which have become passe because of their cumbersomeness. There is a great deal more harm in suggestiveness than in frankness. No encouragement to immodesty will be tolerated, but immodesty must be judged by the con sensus, conditions at the time, the appropriateness of the costume and demeanor of the wearer. We are going ahead with the development of interest in clean whole some sports among our boys and girls because we are convinced that not only are such things good to help build clean, strong bodies hut are of material heip in building clean, strong minds, and whether a knee shows or not is regarded as of little consequence by our boys and girls.
