II and III Carson is iufatunted

V. VI and VII Ho lands in the

THE first day Theodore sent or
ders for the shipment of the
engines and began to provide
better equipment for the
bouse. He brought as a companion
lor Miss Suarez an elderly widow.
Mrs. Stott, who was addicted to the
writing of poems of a lovelorn nature.
Virginia's opinion of her new uncle's
worldly wisdom rose at this provision
lor chaperonage. But she gave him
too much credit. He merely thought
f Virginia's becoming lonely.
He could not depart until sure that
Miss Virginia" would not feel slighted
should he push on.
Craighead's telegrams came In from
the cast, still Delphic In significance.
One reported that New York was prac
tically "surrounded," another that tho
country would soon bo "gridlroned."
Theodore was deaf to voices from the
enter world. A letter from narrod.

had reached the cabin in the dunes.
lay on the old escritoire one morning.
Theodore inserted a paper knife in tho
envelope, half cut It open and saw
Virginia's dress glimmering outside.
Tho half opened letter fell to the desk,
and Uncle Theodore leaped out on the
eranda.
"Morning, uncle!" said she. "Have
70U slept well?'
"Fine."
"Vou-'don't look it," sold she. "Your
eyes look dull. You devoto too much
time to business while your family Is
asleep, don't you?'
"Uncle" thought of tho unopened let
ter, the unanswered telegrams, the
Bcglectcd business. Mr. Wnddy's mon
ey, the uncompleted aeronef, the sleep
less nights, tormented by not business
at all, not business! Decidedly not!
"I slept too soundly," said he.
They spent most of their time out of
doors. Theodore nte wolfishly each
day and drank great quantities of cof
fee to show that he was In fine fettle
quito unable to pick up his end of the
conversation. It was youth and spring
and sweet fellowship, though the
Items made him trfck of Mrs. Stott'a
table talk. He wanted the river and
Psyche, knowing that ho ought to go
and leave her. Every night he vowed
to go next morniug and laid plans for
another day with her.
Early ono morning they started out
on a berry picking expedition. Tho

heap on tho Bermuda grass. Theo
dore found her with her ankle gripped
la her hands and her lips tight to hold
back a cry. A hurried question, a
cheery reply cut in two with a twinge
of pain, and ho picked her up. She
threw her arms about his neck to ease
the burden. Alas, it mado It heavier!
Tho fervor of his embrace did the an
kle no good and nearly crushed poor
Virginia. Tho color rose slowly to her
brow as ho set her down on the veraii.
da and stood over her, breathing hard.
She rose on the sound foot and tried
tho It her carefully.
"It Isn't bad at all." said she.
Taking off tho shoe, sho held the lit
tle foot in her hand, examining the an.
kle critically,
"Do you think It's swelling?" she
asked.
Theodore tenderly Biueezed tho
shapely ankle and roso to his feet.
"I don't know," said be. "I-Pfr-liitia"-
IIo had seized her hand and was
looking at her with none of tho Im
personality of tho surgeon or physl
clan. Sho did not take her bund

the romantic dangers of bis uuclehood.
Trembling with excitement, he attempt
ed a note to Virginia. WIzner at the I
cabin, luossnccs at the beach, meant
danger und disgrace if he neglected his
task longer, Infamy if he toyed on
with temptation. He told Chloe
through her door that be bad been
called nwny and that sho must explain
to the ladies. He hastily packed a
bag, ran down and unmoored the
launch and tied down the river.
Captain Ilarrod, dignified, barefoot
ed, soft voiced, unkempt, kept his
lonely vigil on the white straight edge
of beach that lay from Fort Morgan
to Perdldo bay. Captain Harrod, Ig
noring landscape and seascape, devot
ed himself to the study of sand tracks
of all sorts tracks of foxes examin
ing the beach for turtles' eggs, months
ahead of time; talon marks of opos
sums and raccoons prowling about for
crabs, mice and birds' eggs; hoof
marks of wild hogs, etc. Trails of men
there were along the sparsely trav
eled highway of the strand and the
footprints of one in particular attract
ed him. Tracks in tho sand were to
Harrod book, newspaper, telegraph
and circulating library. He knew sev
eral things that this man might be
a deserter from the fort, perhaps, or
It might be some one connected with
the revenue service. His cabin was
"Harrod's flshingcamp" nothing more.
What had revenue officers to do with
such humble piscatorial headquarters
as these? They should not care about
Theodore's hidden Invention.
