However, the laugh began. It Ik a
recognized fact that a few healthy

Imaginable. It gets plenty of fresh

tones one up. Also, It eases the

June's glance triumphantly swept
the long stretch of deserted beach.
Not a soul In sight ! For nn hour at
least she might confidently expect to
keep all this wonder to herself. Glee
fully she visioned the chagrin of Tom,
not to mention her half-dozen other
satellites, when they should have dis
covered her to have already taken her
morning dip, without their ubiquitous
ministrations.
It was live o'clock, and half an hour
before sunrise. Jane waded out to
wards a nut distant sand bar, her eyes
fixed mi the eastern sky, where the
gray mist was parting. t reveal hid
den color treasure of orange and gold.
She fell suddenly awed. How big ev
erything was! How tiny her hands
seemed, luioyed in front of her on the
surface of the water. At lhat mo
ment site hall' wished for a chance to
snub the owner of a certain steadying
if presumptuous arm. then shaking off
the weakness and determined to glory
In her new found freedom, she plunged,
squealing irrepressiltly, into an on
coming wave and swum with an even,
sure stroke for the bar.
Once there, she turned to glance at
the hotel, oddly somnolent in the half
light, (hen with, a superior sniff, In
tended for its lazy inmates, site
stretched luxuriously on .the sand and
gave herself up to the enjoyment of
the spectacle to the eastward. For a
full half-hour she watched and mar
veled and dreamed. How trivial now
seemed yesterday's prep'oxitics and
Intrigues! Her unaccountably poor
showing at the tennis tournament, that
cataclysmic error which had caused
her partner to view her In stunned
surprise bow little such things real
ly mattered. She remembered with a
certain sense of shame the tlirtations
which bad marked her stay at this
most popular of beach resorts. What
poor sport It was, after all. Hence
forth she determined to repress the
eternal Eve in her and to save her
smiles for hlni. And a delightful
speculation gripped her as to who he
might be.
A cold tongue of water lapped her
bathing slipper anil she jumped up,
shivering. The tide had risen. Jeal
ous waves were already trying to edge
her olT her perch. Site fussed wilh
her cap in preparation for the swim
back, pausing for a last look at the
King of Hay, now well over the rim
of the world.
For 11 while site slooil there, a
charming figure, in her modish sea
suit, eyes ngleain with youth's love
of life, curling tendrils of gold whip-
i plug her creamy throat. Suddenly
she stiffened and u sharp cry escaped
her.
Cradled between two of I he larger
overlapping waves she had espied
j something sinister and white, a gleam-
ing mass that moved ami glowed in
1 the long rays of the morning light.
A sort of numbness seized her, as
through her mind then! Unshed till
the stories she had heard recounted
of the white-bellied terror which many
of the hotel habitues were reputed
; to have glimpsed thereabouts, always
from the asylum of a dock.
June viewed despulringly the fast
dlmlnisblng strip of sand. Ten min
utes at the most, and she would have
to take her chances with the thing
In the water. On the verge of faint
ing, she yet managed to find her voice.
At llrst thin anil weak, desperation
lent It strength. A favoring breeze
I aided her, and the cry which roused
', half a hundred sleepy vacationists
from their beds was that of "Tom;"
j Tom heard with the rest, and not
one of the wondering watchers saw
j anything grotesque in his pajatna chid
figure, as it Hew to the water's edge,
"(let a boat, Tom." Jane screamed,
then toppled and fell,
j I lilt Tom didn't go bark. A few
' minutes and lie had in his arms it
' sirangely docile Jane, who could only
j whisper faintly, "Tom, darling Tom,"
1 mid who clung pilcoitslv to him.
As lie swum back to the beach, now
Ihloiiged with half-clad people, his
S precious burden bold close, lie was
j too deliriously happy to wonder why
j Jane, conceded the best swimmer In
I the crowd, had not dated negotiate
the short distance. Time enough for
explanations later for the present
life was very sweet, with that soft
"Tom, darling Tom" In his ears.
Through a haze of joy, be was con
scious that one of bis vigorous strokes
brushed away something which felt
like seaweed, but which was apparent
ly a white satin petticoat, and he won
dered from whose clothesline it was
missing.
Movements of tht Earth,

night of about 15,000 feet above the
ocean bottom and their weights caus
ing a pressure of 15.000 to 20.000
pounds per square Inch on their bases
Is supposed to be causing a slow
creeping of the land Into the sea
against the S.000 pounds of pressure
by the water at the bottom. The
rocks of mines are observed to creep
under less pressure. In recent ex
periments, two hemispheres of rok
were fitted together by plane surfaces,
and a cavity was ground In one or a
steel washer was laid on It and the
hemispheres were then forced together
by hydraulic pressure continued for
sionths, at room temperature. It wss
demonstrated that a pressure of Ml'stO
pounds per square Inch will close even

No, jndeed, she scratches a darn
site harder.

When times arc hard and no money in sight,
Shall we go to sleep or continue the fight?
We'll take a lesson from the hen and work the

We'll all pull together and help one another.
And when the clouds have rolled away and the
the sky again is clear,
We'll scratch some more and cast away all
thoughts of this bad year.
