At last I said wltb equal pleasant

He sighed wltb relief.

quired.
"No," I replied; "tbls is merely a

"Umph!" I pretended to W»lgh his

CHAPTER XIV.
Ths Voyage of the Msrry Widow.
IT bad stopped raining entirely now,
and the south wind bad become a
warm and welcome reality. I
went down to the cove. As I had
»ther expected, I found Bill Johnson
there with hla motor scow, the Merry
Widow, with her nose driven up on the
beach.
Bill's father was Danish, I believe,
and his mother was a French Cana
dian. His speech is a combination of
pa to la that he heard at home. I
"Quito a sea out there." I indicated
the lake.
"Bhe shall run pretty high," replied
Bill, "but not so high like she do
awhile ago."
( "Just come out for the ride?" I
queried.
"No. The Merry Widow she bring
over a young man, a newspaper feller.
He say be give me three dollar or I
wouldn't by ylmmlny Christmas, do
It No, sare, not for two-fifty even I
shan't do it" Then he added, with a
•light wink, "The sea she ain't so high
now as I make him think."
i "Do you know where Huntingdon's
Island Is?" I inquired, a vague plan of
action formulating Itself in my brain.
"Sure I know him. She set over yon
'boot three mile, maybo four or two
and a half."
"Well, the young man you brought
over here has decided to stay for an
hour or ao. While you are waiting I
want yoo to take mo over to Hunting
don's and jet Mrs. Green."
tlln. Green J What she do by Hunt
ingdon's?"
*TU tell yoo later after I think up
ksu In teres tins explanation. At pres
ent I shouldn't be able to do the sub
ject Justice How about It? Will you
take me over there?"
He hesitated.
"Hera's a dollar," I said. "The
storm is quieting down a good deal,
and, anyhow, you know the Merry
Vnbew la the best sea boat on the
late."
The flattery won him. What owner,
erso of the rerlest motor monstrosity,
I* not susceptible to praise bestowed
Bpoc his darling.
"I guess she shall run all right One
waive she shan't work yust so good as
•be ought, but I got some wire. I fix
h|jn Qp,M
I helped him shove off, and Bill tin
kered with the one cylinder machine
fan which propelled the barge until he
induced tt to bark at Irregular inter
vals.
Have I forgotten to mention that the
Merry Widow is an open boat with no
superstructure or canopy of any sort?
If I have, let me state here that her
lines are very decollete, and a large
wave meets with little obstruction kqvo
the passengers when it starts to travel
from the bow to ^he stern.
"She shall be, by ylmminy Christ
mas, sure choppy," Bill commented.
"The wind she shall haul to the south
make cross waves."
e was absolutely correct. As soon
we left the mputh of the cove we
went through soihe evolutions which
I would have said It was absolutely
Impossible for a man of my build to
perform. I was favorably considering
tbe idea at being seasick when a
larger wave than usual washed over
*nd struck the engine. It expired
peacefully on the spot
"What has happened?" I asked, with
S landsman's Justified terror.
"Srha engine has stopped." Bill's
^alm statement of the obvious exas
perated me.
"QX eouree it has stopped. Can we

Wft-t His enthusiasm as a lecturer
on the gasoline engine made him for
fet the Jake outside.
tt Was brought to his attention by
4 large wave which tipped us on our
fejup ends and dropped Bill and my
self in a« affectionate group into tbe
stem of the boat, where we were Join
ed presently by a collection of oil
cans, wrenches, grease cans and other
barbie impedimenta.
BUI removed his elbow from the pit
at my long since hopeless stomach and
scrambled to the engine.
"8he hatnt hurted a bit," he an
nounced. "Lend me your handker
chief."
I silently passed him the article he
desired- He carefully wiped off a
large part of the engine with It be
ftse Jm. offered it hack ta m. -J da
cuiiea ana told mm to consider it my
contribution to the equipment of the
boat
"Now, sare," he directed, "you must
hold the coat over the spark so she
shall not get, by yee vlzz, again wet."
He showed me how to protect the
engine from the elements by interpos
ing my coat and my shivering body
between It and the waves. This being
accomplished, he started the machin
ery, and we lurched forth Into the
night once more.
Bill split his time between steering
and mending the engine, keeping up a
running Are of conversation, not with
me, but with the motor. When she'd
cough weakly Dill would hit her In
some apparently tender spot with the
flat of a monkey wrench and say:
It Was Brought to His Attention by a
Large Wave.
"Come on, Merry; you shan't stop. 1
knock the carbon off your waives. Now
you feel better."
Finally we reached the dock at
Huntingdon's island.
After I had filled my lungs with a
little undiluted air I picked up a heavy
wrench to use as a weapon, and, di
recting Bill to arm himself likewise
and follow as quietly as possible, I set
out up the path leading from the dock,
which doubtless ended at the Hunting
don domicile.
A turn of the path brought us In
range with an illuminated window. I
led the way oil from the path and

"No one In sight," X reported. "TSert
Is some one In there I want to sur
prise, to play a JoJke on, so I am going
to break in the door."
"Ha, ha!" laughed Bill "She shall
be very funny yoke."
We felt our way to the door, which
wa.1 a solid one of plain wood with no
glass panels.
"Could you knock that oft from 1U
binges?" I whispered.
"I bet," Bill replied; "easy."
"All right, then. Get ready. One1,

Crash! Bill sprang at the door, and
It fell inward.
I slopped across the threshold and
leveled uiy monkey wrench like a re
