SYNOPSI8. - ■ •'
I.ucllo Green, charming. but with fads,
la visited at the Greens' summer Island
home by Monty Blalney. She proposes k
woek's fast. All food Is baaished.
Frank Bopp, a rival suitor, appears un
expectedly. To get food for himself b4
attempts the mainland by motorboat. I
The boat breolu down and Bopp la ma
rooned. During a fierce storm Mrs. Oresn
faints and la revived by- a - stimulant,
which Intoxicates her. ,, I
Blalney discovers Lucllo and Bopp nib
bling dog biscuits. Me proposes to end
the fast, but there la no food. Mrs. Green
suddenly disappears, and all hunt for her.
Blarney recPtvua a telegram aoaresseo
N. Bianey from Vlda Duiimore, an actress,
speaking of marriage, tie is nonplused,
but Lucile's Jealousy Is aroused. •
A supply bout Is wrecked on rocks near
by. The crew lands safe and Blalney res
cues Vida. She is dressed as Rosalind.
The boat's captain explains that Vlda
had donned the costume for safety. All
are forcod by the high soa to remain ton
the Island.
Vlda discovers In Blalney a dramatlo
orltlc who had praised her work besides
being her rescuer. She explains to him
thai sho Is uugaged to a Ned Blansy. t
"Ilello!" " '
"Hello, Mrs. Green! This Is Mr
Hlainey." fs '
"Hello. -Vr. Bfalney!" There was a
ring of ladylike indignation In her
voice. "Can you explain to me. Mr.
Blainey. how I happened to find my
self In a rowboat out In the middle of
the lake, wearing my red silk dress
and a nightcap tied under one ear?"'
"Wait a minute, Mrs. Green, central
hi listening."
"I don't care. She always doea. She
probably wants to know Just ai much
as I do. What happened? Was there
an earthquake? 1 remember the island
was sort of wobbly and hard1 to
walk ou."
"No, there wasn't any earthquake,"
I answered. "We were fasting-, you re
mem!>er?"
"Yes, I remember that, but I'm not
any more. The first thing I did when
I landed was to break Into thla house
and cook myself a can of baked beAna.
It's funny if there wasn't any Earth
quake. I remember the floor of the
house all running In funny little
waves." • ^ <
"I'm afraid our time must be nearly!
up," I suggested in the hope of turn
ing the conversation. "Central Will
cut us off."
"No, I won't," interposed a third
voice, the sweetly professional one of
the operator. "Talk all you want to.
There ain't anybody waiting for tie
line."
"I suppose I must have got into the'
boat when the earthquake commenced,"
persisted Mrs. Green, "but how did I
get on the decollete red dress? And
where did I get the nightcap? I hare
not worn that dress for ten years." '" J
I told her that we would have to
wait until she got home to explain a
number of things. "Lucile will be
very glad to know that you are safe,"
I added casually as if she had Just
gone over to a neighbor's, hoping to
deceive central. "She was afraid you
might get wet."
"Did Lucile know I was going?" in
quired the startled Mrs. Green, who
apparently did not catch on to'my
acting.
"*N0, not until arier you wuu suiruru,
I said, skirting the edge of the truth
neatly. "She will be very glad to hear
that you are all right I'll tell her as
soon as she wakes up. She Is resting
now."
"Sleeping? Now? What for?"
"Why," I explained, "she was up all
night."
"What? And all alone on that Island
with you two young fellows and no
chaperon!"
"Oh, no," I hastened to reassure her
and central, "not alone with us! There
are a lot of people here—six or seven,
I should say." •: i
"Holding a convention of earthquake
sufferers, I suppose," Mrs. Green sur
mised caustically. "What sort of peo
ple are they?"
"Oh, very nice people," I answered
promptly. "One of them to a lady."
"How do you know she to a lady,"
inquired Mrs. Green—"Just because she
happened to be wearing skirts when
she arrived?"
"Oh, no!" I said hastily. How could
I tell this elderly, dignified lady that
our feminine guest had not worn skirts
on her arrival
"Ilumph!" Mrs. Green was not par
ticularly Impressed. "The soonet I get
back the better. You'll hare to «end
some one over after me because there
weren't any oars in the boat I came
in. I wouldn't go out In a rowboat
again anyway. Send a big boat or I
won't leave here."
"I'll send for you Just as soon aa I
can." I was glad to have the conver
sation draw to a close. It had been
bad enough already, but who could
tell what else might come out if we
kept on talking? "The storm ought to
quiet down soon now. Goodbf for the
present" . -
"wait a tnlnute. I want to ask"—
I am afhild I was guilty of rank dis
courtesy in hanging up the receiver
Wfor© t heard her question, but I knew
t should bfe bnable to answer It any
toa^, and I had to bare an opportunity
to think what It was all about.
First of all, Lucile must be told and
an end put to her anxiety. I went
upstairs and called "Lucile!"
•"'* CHAPTER X.
Thf Clam Hunter.
THERE was no answer, and I
stepped to the door of her room,
which stood open. She was ly
ing on tier bed, dressed, with
her head on her arm, sleeping the dead
sleep Of utter exhaustion. She seemed
very small and childish, and her An
gers curled adorably, like a baby's. I
didn't have the heart to waken her, so
I tiptoed out The news would be
just as welcome when she wakened
of her own accord, and sleep would do
her much good.
When I came downstairs I saw Bopp
go through the yard, looking under
every bush and Into every gully. I
went out to tell him that Mrs. Green
was located.
He stopped when he saw me.
"I see Clair has cut you out with
your actress friend," he said. "I saw
them arm in arm on the beach a min
ute ago. There's no use talking, Mon
ty, you can't seem to hold a girl's at
tention long enough to slip a ring on
her. Why don't you try advertising In
one of those matrimonial papers?"
I«uade no answer, hut turned around
abruptly and went back to the house.
I was angry enough myself to let him
hunt until the crack of doom before I
Would tell him that Mrs. Green was
found. •
When I entered the house the tele
phone was ringing again. I took off
the receiver.
•'Hello!" I snld.
"Hello!" said n masculine voice. "X
am a newspaper man, representing the
Haniman syndicate. I understand that
you bad an earthquake over there
this morales and that Mrs. Green, the
wife of the president of the First Na
tional bank, made her escape In an
aeroplaoe dressed In a spangled red
ball gown/ I wimt to know If 1
hare these facts absolutely correct be
fore I"—
I carefully lowered the receiver un
til It hung suspended from the wires
and tiptoed awuy from the telephone,
letting him talk to the empty air.
The story was out.
W'heii I tfeut out. after leaving the
reporter holding the wire, so to speak,
I took Tootles for a walk, and I then
turned my attention to the undevelop
ed food supply which I had discovered
earlier 'when walking with Vlda.
There were hundreds of fresh water
ciams on the beach, and it was possi
ble to dig them in the cove when the
water was "not particularly rough. I
spent the afternoon wading, compen
sated for the 'cold discomfort of the
performance by the thought that by
providing food I would win back a
largo share of the favor I had lost
with Luclle." Not that ehe would ad
mit that she needed food. Not she.
Vlda and Llpton S. Clair strolled by
while I was wading. It seemed to me
that she was making rapid progress to
ward winning her bet
"Are you still looking for Mrs.
Green?" Clair called out as I fished
under water curiously.
"No," I replied shortly, "I am teach
ing a pet flsh to swim."
"You look as though you were tak
ing one of those barefoot cures."
"I didn't know you could cure bare
feet," supplied Vlda. "By the way,
Mr. Blainey, does your ring come off
easily?"
"It would from your hand. Do you
wish to wear it?"
5 "Oh, no, not yet—not until I am en
titled to. VOu can begin to work it
off though."
"Did any one call me up on the tele
phone?" asked Mr. Clair.
"Yes," I said.
"Why didn't you call me?" he de
manded crossly. "I haven't been far
away."
The self assurance of this man en
raged me. Here he was, an uninvited
guest, complaining that he was not
"Aro you (till looking for Mr*. Green?"
Clair callod out.
paged as be would fcave been in a ho
tel I wondered where he got his ideas
of the social relations of modern peo
ple. Who could hare spoiled him so?
Sometimes the adulation of women
will put an ego on the bias that way,
but Clair was a professed woman
hater. I only hope that some day he
will write tt play which it will be my
pleasure to review.
I explained in words of one syllable
that I had not called him because I
did not know where be was, had a
sore throat, was under physician's or
ders not to call any one, my mother
had trained me not to yell at stran
gers, and, besides, I never did any
calling except on Thursdays.

THE WEEK
IN SOCIETY
(Unavoidably held over from Sat.)
Tha Red Cross is doing a morl
of work liese days. All and every
wjoman aoid man seomg to take
a decided interest in, tha work. Tin
large room where the membrs
meet every Thursday is now so
filled with the laboreru that it Je
deemed advisable to hold sessions
twice a week instead of once and
then those who wish may come in
comfort. In spite of the two
long tables that will accommodate
twenty when sewing is being done
now are inadequate when, hospital
supplies are the work of tho day.
Small tables were brought in on
Thursday; last and still the room
was too crowded for folding band
ages. Should the women in charge
secure tho room for another day,
due notice will bo given later.
