CHAPTER I I .— (C o n tin u e d .)
She w alked aw ay an d leaned on the

I followed. “T h e re ’s q u ite a rise of

I t ’s nearly full, an d then it will

She looked a t the

“B u t th a t will he 7 o’clock, and then

“T hey dine too e a r l y ; they miss the
best p a rt of the d ay .”
She turned a trifle im periously to
w ards me. “ S till, th a t is th e hour, and
I m ust be g ettin g back. W h a t an sw ers
to the problem have your freq u e n t stu d ies
b ro u g h t?”
“T h e first is to w ait u n til the cau se
way is d ry ,” I answ ered, avoiding her
eyes and looking o ut to sea.
“ B u t th a t is o u t of the q u estio n ,” she
said, w ith the fa in t h in t of a tap p in g
foot upon th e deck. T h e touch of a u
th o rity made me stubborn.
“T h e re ’s a fine view of the
su n set
from here, though n ot so fine as from
the cliff beyond my house. You should
see th a t some evening when you’re not
a fra id of m issing d in n e r.”
She looked me over while I kept my
face aw ay, and I could feel the stru g g le
w h eth er resentm ent o r am usem en t should
have the upper hand. T h e la tte r finally
won. “ P lease help me to get home, M r.

“ F elix Selden,” I supplied her, “ though

“ B a rb a ra G rah am ,” she answ ered q u ite

I w as forced to jo in her. “ Come, M r.
P ira te , now th a t a re properly know n to

to go w ith o u t d in n e r and come to see the

“ I t ’s a b arg ain ,” I said, an d stro d e res
olutely across the deck to the side w here
the causew ay ran .
“ B u t how ?
W h a t a re you doing to

I stopped an d tu rn ed . “ You will not

the slippers, so th e re ’s only one

left.”
“ A nd w hat is that?* she asked.
“ F o r me to c a rry you ash o re.”
I happened to be looking a t her, and
her face w ent pink of a second, pink
over the brow n of th e sun.
“ B u t,” she stam m ered, “ I don’t think
th a t would do.”
“ I t ’s the only a lte rn a tiv c e ,” I said,
positively.
“ A re you sure,* she said, “ th a t you
are s tro n g enough?”
I looked a t h e r slender
figure and
laughed. “ I have n ot lived o ut of doors
for n o th in g ,” I answ ered. “ I could c a r

yonder w ith o u t tirin g .”
A gain cam e the Infectious laugh, a p
p a ren tly a t the th rill of th e ad v en tu re,
an d I found it im possible to keep from
jo in in g her.
“ B u t it’s tim e I made the boast good,”
I answ ered, and, leaning to w ard s her,
picked her up In my arm s, carefu l to
keep the little slip p e rs and her s k irts
clear o f th e waves.
“ You m ust p ut your arm s about my
neck to keep the balance,** I said, “ or
I ’ll n ot g u a ra n te e th e consequences.”
“ M u st I ? ” Rho said q u ite dem urely, and
did as I com m anded.
F eeling my w ay cautiously, I s ta rte d
to cross the causew ay. A false step and
I should have slipped in to the deeper
w ater, so I w ent slowly, feeling for safe
footing ns I took each step. O nce
I
glanced m om entarily a t the face which
w as so close to m ine, b u t M iss G ra h a m s
eyes w ere fixed on th e shore ah ead , and
would not look a t me.
W e reached the sand a t the foot o f th e
cliff a n d I put the girl dow n. She looked
a her slippers.
“ S plendidly done,” she said. “ N ot a
drop of w a te r touched me. You’re q u ite
as stro n g as you said.
“ R em em ber the cause,” I answ ered.
“ B u t you’re frig h tfu lly w et,” she ob
jected. looking a t my heavy riding b reech

w ere
soaked
through. “ You m ust ru n back to th e cot
tage as fa st as you can, to save y o urself
a cold.”
“ I m ust see you to the club first,” I
answ ered. “ I know a sh o rt c u t back of

“ H u r ry , th en ,” she said.
“ I ’ll

W e scram bled up the headland and
stru c k in to the pine woods, I leading, she

often
stopped to in su re a g a in st her tirin g , I
found th a t she w as a stro n g ru n n e r and

“ I ’ll say good-by h ere,” she said, “and
spare you th e sight of a civilizatio n th a t
you dislike.” She held o ut her hand.
T h en I rem em bered our b arg ain . “ You

“ N o ; b ut I m ust th in k o ut a way.

She gave me her hand a second tim e,
