But in a. moment she con- trolled herself, shook away her tears orossly, and dafobed at her ayes with the back of her hand. lacking the wispy handkerchief that was gone.

“Is this the quiet good little place they brag about?" she asked her- seli. “Where they come and-steal dead bodies-from under your very eyes?" Both tears and laughter mine alt the whimsical notion. But in spite oi her attempt to be iaoetious ‘and. unconcerned she was highly nervous and quite urlstrung. A sud- den clear call. "Hallo there." from behind, startled her into a {night/m- ed scream and. she sprang to her ieet. Quite beyond power o! reason as she was. the cell had seemed to come linmn the valley c! death.

Glancing up, she saw on the piaz- zaoithemttleclulaanlanwho leaned over the railing and beckon- ed to her. He was a. stranger, she knew at once, one oi‘ time siunmer people. no nattive son. _

"I beg your pea-don." he called pleasantly, "but will you kindly show me the way down? I cannot ilnd the

“There is no path. There is no way down." - "But-I beg your pardon-you are down, are you not?"

They did not speak again until they entered the wood. when the Captain, rather diﬂidently, broke ‘ ' the silence. ' .

"You oughtnt to live there by ‘yourself, Gay. Women hafnt no call to live alone. It ain't eccordin’ to natur.‘ ‘Phley get queer. They get to thinkih’ things, they get to seein’

s - timings-ghosts and sech. You better go to the hotel. Gay, for the rest oi the summer. I’ll let you oi! on the rest of the rouse. It ain't accord- ln’ to natur‘, livin' alone."

Gay made no answer, but she smiled at him. and when they came at last to the precipitous cliiis that girt the cove, she led the way. stumbling, sliding ialling, while the Captain granted and softly swore beneath his breath behind her. In the cove. at last, she turned with her usual brisk assurance, and ﬂung out a handtoward the spot where the body had lain.

Then her eyes widened, her lips parted and she stared, aghast.

The captain was right. There was no bodyon the sand. Except for themselves. the cove was void of

‘liie, as it was void of death. Flashes

oi light Iwam before heu- eyes, and she swayed dimly.

“I'll just sit down a minute to 89$ my wind back," the Captain printed. and dropped down heavily on a low rock, m I away great beads 0i perspiration with his red hanker- ohiei. ~"

Gay pulled herself together.

“Somebody took him away while

“I put his hand on hisbreast, and my handkerchief I spraak over his face. Captain, do you think I'm

Gay smiled rwther warlly. “I am sorry for all the trouble I have caus- edyouIamsureyouknowthatI had no desire to deceive you, de- liberately. I am very sorry. Will you go on home now. and leave nte?

The Captain demurred, but GAY stood ilrm against him, and his ob- jections dwindled. He went of! at last, a sturdy little ﬁgure. tor- alli his frailty and his bent shoulders. .
