"Yes, Miss Doreas," said the Pro fessor. "Good! You can take me to the depot at once, said Miss Dorcas. "I'll !iave Just time to catch the ifVmnnn train for Harbor Head. and that young man who" She stopped short Professor Plunkett shook his head slo-l, and went away. A moment later Miss Dorcas could hear him starting the engine of bis noisy and antiquated car. She took a last look around the room, put on her hat picked up her suitcase, and went down to loin him. Miss Dorcas arrived in Harbor Head that day at the same hour Lavinia had arrived the day be fore, but she did not get out of the bus at the point where KoaencK Ellott's cottage was visible. In fact she didn t know his cottage was visible from that point One thing she did know, however, and that was that she was going to And Roderick Elliott and say a thing or two to him. And as the bus carried her on to the Cliffside Inn, she planned what she would sav. "Look here. young man, just hat did you 4 to make my niece rush off in the midst of her vacation?

It was nearly deserted, since it was the dinner hour, and she was glad of this. She went to the desk to register. "Why, now do you do. Miss Prentissl" the clerk greeted. "Glad to see you back." "Thanks." said Miss Dorcas, and Wrote her name. . She was Just about to ask the elerk If ha knew why her niece had departed in such a hurry, when Margot Linden came In from the dining room. "Hello. Miss Prentlsst" she called. She hurried over, her hand outheld. "I was hoping you'd visit us again." Miss Dorcas acknowledged the greeting, and opened her mouth to speak. Margot Linden didn't give ner a cnance. Margefi Story "We were so sorry to lose your niece," she said. "She was such a charming girl." Miss Dorcas took Mariot't arm. drew her over to a secluded place behind a palm. "Now," she said, "tell ma all about it" "All about what?" said Margot "Don't try to be polite or eva sive. Miss unden, said Miss Dor cas. "My niece left in a big hurry. Why?" "None of us know, really," said Margot "Hut since you ask, 1 11 tell you all I know." "Good! Go Aheadl" Margot explained about the government men and what had happened, just as she had ex plained to Lavinia the day before. "But" she went on, "I think the real reason she left in such a hurry was because of Roderick Elliott, "What about Roderick Eliott?" Mist Dorcas demanded. "He'd disappeared yesterday while she was in Portland." "Disappeared?" "Yes, just like that here one day, gone the next" Margot low ered ner voice. "No one aaw the government men with him, but we all feel he's one of the men they took away." "But why on earth should they do that?" "Didn't your niece tell you he was suspected of being an escaped German prisoner?" "Yes, but It sounded like a lot of nonsense to me." Miss Dorcas frowned. "Didn't he leave any message for my niece? I under stand they had seen quite a lot of each other." "No, ne left no message for any. one. That's why we're convinced now that he was a man escaped from Canada. Either that or one of the men who helped the pris oners after they'd gotten over the border." "Were people around here do in thfttV' Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 23. OPt Col. H. C. Kress Muhlenberg was found innocent yesterday at a general court martial of charges that he wrongly criticized dis tribution of combat plane out- tide of the United State and its Insular possessions.

And Roderick Elliott bad a boat" "So my niece told me," said Mlsa Dorcas. "She told me about the trip to the island." She shook her head sadly. "The poor darling! She'll never forgive me for Insist ing that she come up here." "Oh, I wouldn't say that" Mar got said gently. "After all, she did have a lot of fun. And Mr. Elliott did her a lot of good." "How?" "He helped her with her danc ing and her bridge," said Margot "If she hadn't been in such a hurry to leave, I'm sure her last daya here would have been decidedly pleasant Anyway, a lot of young men had taken an interest In her. "They had?" Mist Dorcai waa pleased. "I should say sol She was on the verge of becoming the belle of the Inn." Miss Dorcas sighed. "And so my trip here has turned out to be a wild-goose chase," she said. "I came to have a talk with this Mr. Elliott thinking I miaht straighten out matters between him and my niece, and now you tell me he's gone also." "I'm sorry,1' said Margot "I wish there was something I could do." "So do I," said Miss Dorcas. "I reckon I ahould have minded my own business right from the start and let my niece go to that quiet spot in Connecticut she was al ways talking about At least she'd not have had to run away from anything." "She'll get over It," said Margot Tve had a lot of disappointments where men are concerned and I got over them eventually." "I know," said Miss Dorcas. "But my niece is a bit odd I mean, she's been devoting her life to business. I'm afraid this thing wil hurt her more than it would the average glrL" She turned to go. "Oh, well, I suppose I'll stay overnight and then follow her to New York. She probably needs me now, more than ahe ever did." Rod M' ARGOT started to make a re. mark, and gasped instead. "Ohl" she cried. "Oh!" "What's the matter?" Miss Dor cas asked, startled. "Look!'1 said Margot pointing. "Look! There he is nowl "Who?" "Roderick Elliott!

"Are you Lavinia Prentiss s aunt?" Roderick asked, in a breathless sort of way. "Yes," said Miss Dorcas, "I am." Then what have you done with her?" Roderick demanded. "I haven't done anything with her," said Miss Dorcas. "And how dare you address me In that tone?" "I'm tony," said Rod. "I waa all excited, and distressed to hear she'd gone." "Where on earth have you been?" Margot said, Anally locat ing her voice. "We thought" "Never mind whet yon thought," said Miss Dorcas. Sht looked Rod straight in the eye "Young man, I want to have a talk with you." "I want to have a talk with you, too," said Rod. "Then what are we waiting for?" said Misa Dorcas. "This way" said Rod. "Well go outside some place." Margot a little annoyed it be ing left out of things, shrugged and said: "Why not take Misi Prentiss, out in your boat Mr. Elliott? "I haven t got a boat," said Rod.

In the late 18th century conditions aboard ships of the British navy had become intol erable and in the spring of 1797 the Channel fleet, stationed off Spithead, refused to put to sea. No sooner had this situation been cleared up, than the North Sea fleet, off The Nore, also mutinied. These men formed a "floating republic" and elected an education mid shipman.
