CHAPTER III— Continued
The furthest o f these house«, built
■t the last stand, where the forest
and the shore-line merged, was the
Lone Pine. Beyond all others, farther,
higher, alone It stood, « lo o t remote.
Beyond th* Lone Pine, on the pen
insula o f forest land that ended In
sheer rocky cliffs, was but one other
building. This was known as the
Little d u b house.
The Little Gub had beet, a daring
social venture for a group o f Port
land business men In the years when
sailing was the foremost summer
sport along the coast. In those day«,
every man o f means In the city had
his own boat, and the Little Gub
bouse was their summer rendezvous.
As the men o f Portland took up
motoring, the vogue for sailboats
passed. Tear by year the Little dub
In the cove saw less and less o f sodal
life, and finally, for a period o f seven
years. It had been opened but once
each summer, when tlie remnant o f
the old group came by motor boat for
a great week-end orgy of lobster, fish,
and. It was rumored, forbldJen brew.
For the last three years even this
mild burst of diversion had been
abandoned, and the famous old Little
dub was as dead as the oldest gray
pine In the woodland.
The Little Gub house was built
With the natural rock o f the shore as
■ fMMral base, as Indeed were most
e f the talaad bouses along the coast
A wide piazza circled three sides of
the house, and on the north gave It a
fa r view o f sea and sky. Gay was not
long In discovering this deserted plaz-
aa. and sometimes went with her
sketching pad, which she carried on
all occasions, and sat there. Idly
drawing In the pleasant shade.
Gay often leaned far out over the
piazza railing, trying to see beneath,
wishing the distance were less, that
she could drop down. And then one
day, when her strength bad come
again, and her most venturesome mood
was upon her, she slipped nnder the
railing on the' eastern side of the
club bouse, and bolding with both
bands, now to the wild branches that
grew In the crevices, now to the
rough and ragged rocks themselves,
slowly, stumbling, falling, splashing
herself with water In the lower
places, cutting and bruising her hands,
she struggled on until she reached
the little stretch o f sheltered beach.
"1 knew I could do It," she said
coekily, waving away the reproachful
stinging o f her torn hands. " I said I
would, and I did."
She ran at once to the club house,
under the piazza. She found a full
lower story o f the ' -se showing
there, with a wide door, and two win
dows, but they were heavily framed
in wooden shutters, further protect
ed by stout Iron gratings, and secured
with heavy patented locks.
Gay shook the rusted lock Impa
tiently.
“ I ’d love to get In,” she thought
wistfully. "Perhaps It Is a haunted
chateau. Whoever heard o f an Island
without a haunted chateau?"
The little cove was a pretty one.
marvelously well protected. On the
left side the rocky ledge ran far out.
curving like a bow. It was among
the rocks on the left that the old
boathouse stood, but although Oay
pulled at the lock, even banged at It
with a stone. It would not yield. Ev
ery crack was sealed, and the win
dows were boarded and barred
“ Stingy thing«," ahe said crossly.
"T h e
way
they keep themselves
locked up you'd think they were a
band of bootleggers."
As she stood In the sandy bench,
looking out. her eyes shone with
pleasure. She forgot the hard strug
gle with the rocks, sue did not think
o f her torn and bleeding hands
The tide was coming In. nearly full,
and she was obliged to move back a
step oi two to avoid a wetting. But
ahe could not tear herself from the
place. And then, as ahe stood, she

Gay watched It curiously and felt
the little thrill o f excitement that al
wayr comes with thought of treasure
borne by the sea.
“ Treasure trove." she whispered
“ Pirate’s prize. Finders keepers."
Now It swept far forward on the
wave. Then It receded again, sucked

It swept close In to shore.
"Oh, I do bellev. It is a sea-cheat—
wrapped In rugs—or—something." she
cried aloud Joyously. "Oh, I believe
It Is !"
She ran out a few steps, regardles«

ankles, leaning fnr forward, ready P

Gay cried out, faintly. She saw It.

The hands beneath the water showed
faintly radiant, the fare shone palely.
Grating In the sand, surging In the
water. It sll^ up on the shore, swung
at her feet, and the receding waves
sucked at It Jealously.
Stilling her Innat* repulsion. Gay
thrust out a stiff, resentful, unwilling
hand, dosed her Ungers llrmly on the
flapping lapel o f the coat, and with
the help o f the next Incoming wave,
she drew It high np on the sand be
yond the water line.
No hope o f reauaritatlon for that
unfortunate. Already It was set to
the rigidity o death. And over the
temple gaped a great dark bullet-
wound, where tbe stiff hair, dripping
salt water, clung thickly In the blood
that had drenched It, the edges
washed flabby white.
Gay turned away from It. Instinc
tively recoiling, her natural thought

But as she turned her eyee

on the sand, a long One band, a hand
that even In death suggested the emo

Gay’s eyes hung to I t spellbound,
and then, slowly, swept to tbe face
again. It was a tired face, worn, all
set Into grim hard lines; had prob
ably been a handsome face In life,
the head flnely shaped, the forehead
high, the chin slender and clear-cut.
The lips had been delicate and One
before that last grim anxiety had
locked them Into this hard cast.
Gay shuddered, hurled her face In

rock; that bound the cove. It was
seldom that strollers came through
the woods so far, a n d ' the cottages
were far removed. There was do an
swer. although she continued to call
even when she had ceased to expect
response.
And so at last, bravely, she took re
sponsibility to herself, set her lipa
hard and bent down to draw the body
higher oo the sand, beyond reach of
the tide at Its highest point
She
lifted the outthrowD hand and laid
It gently back upon the breathless
breast, and spread her wispy handker

Then. In a fresh accession o f horror,
she ran wildly upon the rocks o f the
cliff, clambering over them, strug
gling feverishly In her haste, and her
terror was magnified by her night, so
that ahe sobbed aloud, fell often In
her foolish frenzy, and ent herself,
but did not feel the pain.
Out o f the rocks, disheveled, soiled,
her pale face streaked with tears, she
stopped to recompose herself, adjust
ed her blouse aDd belt, and tried to
wipe the telltale marks of fear from
her face. I d a semblance of order at
last, she ran through the woods, and
down the lane to the Captain’s house.
The Captain, shocked by her white
and frightened face even more than
by the Incoherent tale she told, extrt
rated himself from the fold of dog
and cats with nervous Impatience, and
brushed «gainst two granddaughters
In his haste to get Gay into a chair
before she fainted.
“ Do tell," he chattered gently,
“ dear, dear, now, what are things
coming to?— Lida, give Miss Gay here
some good hot tea. I'll go right down
there and— "
«
"I'll go back with yon and show
yon." Gay proffered quickly.
“ No, no. miss, tea's what yon need,
quiet's what yon need.
Lida, give
her some more tea— I'll take the boys
with me. We'll hare to work It np
over thoae rocks some »-ay."
He hurried away, an eager, brave,
frail little figure.
Naturally, the Captain did not go
direct to the cove. He went first to
the I’ler grocery store to recount tlie
grewsome tale. Then he stopped by
the way to pick up the Budlong boys,
two drivers from the taxi stand, Mr.
Allenby. tlie weather man. aud Lam-
ley Lane. With these enforcements,
and followed by a troop of a dozen
or more small boys shouting direc
tions and calling Inquiries, with two
or three of (he hardier native women
irudglng along at a respectful dis
tance In the rear, they at last began
the hard descent over the rocky cliffs
and ledgea that bordered the cove.
Helping one another as best they
could, scrambling eacb man to keep
pace with the man ahead, all alike
nnxlnus for the first frightful, horrid
view, they stumbled over the rocks,
grunting, swearing softly In the nssai
New England drawl, and reached the
cove at last, leaning forward, staring
about them.
Then they stood erect, with sheep
ish grins, and looked the length and
breadth o f the cove.
