SYNOPSIS.
Luclle Green, charmlns. but with fada,
13 visited at the Greens' aummer Island
home by Monty Blalney. She propoaea a
week's fast. All food la bonlahed.
Franlt Bopp, a rival aultor, appear® un
expectedly. To set food for hlmseU b4
attempts the mainland by motorboat.
'What's that?" demanded Luclle,
straining her ears to catch some sound
out on the water. There was a faint
"put-put" out somewhere.
'It's Johnson's launch," said Mrs.
Green. "I can tell because It misses
every tenth explosion."
"Lipton 8. Clair says that fasting
makes all the senses extraordinarily
acute." Luclle explained.
I know Mrs. Green said " Lipton
S. Clair!" under her breath, but I did
not hear it.
"I wonder what Johnson's boat can
be doing out here at this time of
night," Luclle speculated.
"He must be bringing some one over
here," said her mother. "Ours is the
only island for miles which Is inhab
ited as late aa this in the season."
"It can't be father," Luclle mused.
"He said he wouldn't be home until
Sunday."
so wo went uown 10 we um.it. it
was moonlight, and the old launch
coming In looked some way romantic.
What was she bringing us? Some
thing within me suggested food.
The launch came alongside; a man
with a couple of grips Jumped ashore;
then the boat backed away and limped
off again into the darkness.
"Why, Frank Bopp!" exclaimed Lu
clle, greeting the newcomer. "We
weren't expecting you until next
week."
"I know it," he said, "but I got two
weeks' vacation Instead of one, and I
thought I'd be welcome, so I grabbed
the first train, and here I am."
"Of course you are welcome." Lo
clle was wondering how she waa going
t«i break the news of the fasting to
hlm/
"How are you, Monty?" He hailed
me with the nickname I most Jet eat
and slapped me on the shoulder blade
where the sunburn was the worst
I assured him politely, but untruth
fully, that I had never felt better.
Then we went back to the houae.
All I had needed was the presence of
this mosquito to be absolutely misera
ble. Ho knew more different ways of
getting on my nerves, even when I
was well fed, than any other Individ
ual In the world. I hated to think
what the next few days would be like
with Bopp and hunger for my compan
ions.
"Believe me." Bopp was saying, *1
had some dinner on the dining car this
evening. There was some fried chick
en, with biscuit and gravy, mashed po
tatoes, corn on the cob"—
"Isn't the moon beautiful?" Interrupt
ed Luclle. Even she could atand no
more.
"Looks like a great Dig pumiinja,
doesn't It?" Bopp blundered.
I am going to put a new verb In the
dictionary—namely, "to Bopp," mean
ing to speak at length on any annoying
subject.
Finally Luclle took him one side and
explained about the fasting. The Idea j
fascinated him, especially In Its appli
cation to me. He offered to wager me
huge sums of money, which neither of
us possessed, that I couldn't last for a
week, and If I did he wanted to open a
pool on my probable weight and waist
measurement at the finish. Yon can
imagine how much his talk amused me.
CHAPTER II.
After the Arrival of Mr. Bopp.
WIIEN we got back to the house
Luclle passed every on® a
glass of water. Bopp, with
mock alarm, would not let
me drink mine.
"Walt till I get a tire gauge," he
said, "and see if Monty can stand an
other glass without bursting an Inner
tube."
"Don't be funny," Interposed Luclle.
"About tomorrow you'll feel the way
Mr. Blalney does now."
"Why?"
"Any one does after fasting the first
day."
"Me fast?" Bopp laughed a clear
ringing laugh. "No, thank you. I
don't go In for those fads. I think I
can have more fun watching Monty do
a gradual disappearing act."
Luclle didn't tell him then that there
was no food in the house, and I Joy
fully refrained, for fear of spoiling one
little Jot of the pleasure I would have
in watching him when he discovered
it for himself the next morning at
breakfast.
"I'm going to bed," I announced
stiffly.
"Aro you sleepy bo Boon?" asked Lu
clle.
- "Xot Eleecr. hut vers. llraL" jald L
looking pofiiteSlyaiTopp. think I
may read awhile."
I started to get a glass of water.
"Pass Monty the boiler compound,"
said Bopp. "He's getting full of lime."
"Good night, Mr. Blalney," said Lo
clle sweetly, to make up for the boor's
rudeness.
I held her hand for an Instant
"Good night, Miss Green." Then as I
turned to go up the stairs I mumbled,
"Good night, Bopp."
"Good night, Monty," he returned.
"Gee, for your sake I hope we don't
have a frost tonight or you are apt to
burst"
I went upstairs and slammed my
bedroom door. At last I could be alone
with my misery. After I got Into bed
I tried lying on my back, on my side
and on my stomach. It waa no uae; I
could not Bleep.
At last I heard the others coming
upstairs to bed. I wondered If ho had
kissed her good night in the hall.
Some one knocked at my door.
I growled, "Come in."
Bopp stuck his head In at the door, i
"Excuse me, Monty," he said. "I
saw a light under your door,' and,
thinking you might be awake, I
brought you a book to read."
He tossed a volume on my bed, with
drew and ahut the door.
I wondered If I had misjudged the
man. It certainly was decent of him to
bring me a book. I picked up the vol
ume, read the title and threw it at the
door he had Just closed.
It waa "The White House Cookbook."
In an teon or two It was daylight
once more, and I dressed my emaciat
ed figure with care, Inserting a precau
tionary safety pin hither and yon in
the folds which were once the waist
line of my garments. Early as I had
risen, Lucile was downstairs almost as
soon as I was. We had our tipple
standing and at separate times.
"Shall we waken Mr. Bopp?" I asked.
"I should hate to have him miss any
of this glorious day."
"No," vetoed Lucile, who suspected
my motive. "The beauty of fasting Is
that it relieves one from all the re
straint of convention. We are not tied
down to meals, to regular rising and
retiring. Every one may consult his
own convenience in the matter. You
choose to arise and glory in nature; he
prefers to dream."
There were sounds of some one stir
ring upstairs.
rruu&isup, miuuuutni uucuo mui
relief. I think she knew there was a
storm coming and was glad to get the
suspense over with.
Bopp sang as he dressed. I never
care for a person who la cheerful be
fore breakfast It always seems to me
as If the person puts It on to Irritate
others.
The melody which Bopp dressed him
self by wna "Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes," and then as an encore he
favored Mmsplf with "The Old Oaken
Backet" and "Suwanee Blver." After
that he was entitled to all that was
coming to him.
Be came downstairs smiling and ask
ed pleasantly, "Have you been out to
pump your breakfast yet, Monty?"
When be noticed that Lucile was In
the room he made no further allusions
to eating or water. Then he went out
Into the kitchen. When he returned
his face wore a puzzled expression.
"Do you know where the maid Is?"
he inquired. "I thought I'd ask her to
make me a cup of coffee."
"The maid Is taking a vacation," I
answered hastily, for fear Luclle would
rob me of the pleasure of telling him.
"She won't be back for a week."
"Oh!" Ho received the blow with
open mouth. After a moment he re
covered "You won't mind, will yon,
Lucile, If I get myself a bite?"
"I wouldn't mind in the least," she
answered, "but there Isn't a thing to
eat In the house."
"Nothing to eat?"
"No. That's so we wouldn't be
tempted to break our fast"
I sauntered casually over to the
piano and with one finger picked out
"I'm on the Water Wagon Now."
Bopp was too stunned to notice It
much.
"What shall I db?" he yelled, with
all the rage of a regular man deprived
of his breakfast
"Why, you'll have to fast too," said
Lucile placidly. "It will make you

feel better and will put flesh on your
frame."
"But you said that it would make
me thin," I Interrupted.
"It works both ways," Bupplled Qu
elle.

"Why, yes, I guess It Is," Lucile re

be doubtful about a motorboat "But
