*•.r:.-vrr. ' 1 snrorOT. "but your,
play is probably rotten, and 1 shall tell
the public so."
"Then I'll lei! all 1 know about what
has happened ou Green's Island, and 1
shall hint at n lot of things I don't
know. If you will agree to like my
play I'll promise to shut up and not'ask
any more Questions."
IIo looked me squarely In the eye.
"I'oes Mrs. Green ordinarily drink
too much?" he asked.
His guess was too near the mark for
comfort I took out my knife and cut
bis bonds.
"Thanks, okl man," said the reporter,
slowly stretching his celling muscles.
"They are waiting to take you back
to I'air View," 1 Informed him.
"They?" he Inquired.- "Who are
they?"
"All the principal characters in that
story you were going to write. By the
way, your name Is Jones — Clarence
Jones—you're an old school friend of
' mine." f
"Any particulars?" he asked, ns we
walked down to the dock.
"It isn't necessary. They won't have
' a chance to pump you because you are
[ going to be toweil behind the rest in a
rowboat."
"Why Is thai?"
• "You promised not to ask any more
( questions," J reminded him.
At the <locl; 1 introduced him per
L fuucforiVy to bis felloe? voyagers, and
ho took his sent docilely in the row
boi;t. ... . .
Bill Joiuisou cranked up his engine,
and Uie Meriy Widow started blithely
away. When she was a few feet from
the dock the engine stopped.
"What's the matter—broke down?" I
shouted.
".\'o," answered Bill. "1 yust stop her
because you lorgot to tal me what for
Mrs. Green be ou Huntingdon's island.
You say you tal me, and you forget"
"Yes," chlmcd In Mrs. Green, "and
I want to know how I came to be
floating out on the lake during the
storm with my red dress on."
I reflected u moment.
"The young man in the rowboat
knows all about it," I shouted. "Xoa
can ask him as soon as you get to the
mainland." T didn't add that be would
not answer. , ,
"Mr. Blainey," yelled the reporter as
the engine started up again.
"Yes," 1 replied.
"The name of that play is 'The Hon
or of Thieves.'" ■ -- - i
"All right." I waved my hand in
farewell.
The Merry Widow towed my troubles
around a point of land at the entrance
of the cove aud out of sight.
I smiled to myself as I turned away,
and I whistled an aria that Was partly
Puccinils and .partly mv own.in places
where I' couldn't roniBmbeT tha" orig
inal.
The provisions I had brought from
Huntingdon's Island Were still when X
had hidden them. I took them with
me. If I was going to get thoroughly
lost at least I should be well provi
sioned.
On my Way to the trackless depths
of this half mile Wide wilderness I
stopped at the summer house and un
earthed some tea things which I knew
wero stored there in a locker. There
was a lunch cloth, silver, china, a
small caddy of tea and tiny water
heater, ali of which I added to my
pack. Then I plunged through the no
derbrush into the warm, soft bypaths
of the woods. • it- v i»
After I had lost mys$l£ in the forest
as far as I could without coming pot
again on the other side I.put down, my
burden and prepared to; abandon my
self to despair as comfortably as pos
sible I was rather relieved to find
that I bad given up hope of finding
my way very close to the spring which
' I believe I have mentioned a* existing
on the island. At any rate I should
not die of thirst ,
A fairly fiat tree stump'looked ex
traordinarily like a table when a cloth
was spread on It and places for two.
There was a cheerful look, too, about
the teakettlo when the alcohol lamp
under it had been lit long en$ug{i
make it send out tiny curly spirals of.
steam. And over all a flicker of sun
light romped about the table as if the
fairy Tinker Bell were touching the
dishes to make it a magic feast, - »
I did not eat, though. Instead I leis
urely brewed a pot of tea, I had never
cared a great deal about tea ^efore,
but the aroma qf that particular brew
will haunt me when other perfumes
have lost their savor.
I drew up two pieces of fallen tree
trunk to serve as chairs and seated my
self on one side of the table. My trap
was ready.. > « •»>*, w •>. ;j
Presently there, was the sound of
breaking twigs in the underbrush near*
by. I pretended not to notice. Then
Tootles came forth, frisking and wag
ging her tail. I petted her. ^ ;J.. .
Some one coughed in back of me. I
turned. Parting the bushes on either
side like the folds of a heavy green vel
vet drop curtain stood the shy tpirit of
the wood.
"I had to make yoo turn around,"
she said apologetically, "and get it over
with.
Never was a fairer flosallnd. She
held up her head with a flpe courage in
spite of the crimson blushes which
chased each other over her face and
neck, and she stood straight in the
high heeled soft ldd boote, a slender
figure, almost boyish, - ■— —
"Won't you sit down?" .1 bad risen
and Indicated (life log seat opposite
mine.
"Were you. expecting some one?" she
asked, casting an anxious look at the
seat . ,
"Why, yes." I pretended to be hesi
tant about confiding in her. "I was ex
pecting some one, a lady, one that 1
am very fond of, but I am afraid that
she has disappointed me. Won't yon
take her place?" ■* ■.
"Thank you," she said simply and
slid into the seat ^ v
When I poured her some of the tea
and offered her euch food as was avail
able she accepted everything and ate
with unembarrassed appetite. It may
sound unromantic to say that we satis
fled our hunger without conversation,
but remember that there had been
many hours when talk had been oar
only substitute for food. Tootles had
some of everything, including - tea,
which proves to my. mind conclusively
that she isn't a regular dog. But no
more of that 1
"i n sorry, my v«-»*vja »iu u>- u»i,
leaning forward with her chin resting
on the backs of her clasped hands, "I'm
sorry to be sitting In the place of
some one else whom yon wonld prefer
to have here." Then she added, with
a- little sigh, "That Is, tf you would
prefer some one else." , ,
"I would and 1 wouldn't^ 1 smiled.
"I am trying to Imagine that you are
she."
"Io these—In this costume?" ••
"It is difficult to Imagine her dressed
as you are, but not impossible. I ad*
mlt, though, that Jt would be easier to
picture you In her dm) than hex In
yours."
"Why did she not come?"
"I huve dlspleaaad her."-.. ...... ,
"If she has been angry It must be
that she forgot for the moment how
braTe yon are and how kind." •
"She !said she never wanted to see
me again." u£i 0... , ■■
"And you said yon wonld never enter
her house again. Yet you broke your
word when she was. In danger, and she
was very glad to see youljideed." - She
reached across the table Impulsively
and laid her small brown fingers to
my palm.
"What would you do In that case?"
"I'd come and find yon," she answer
ed, "and when I'd found yoo, I'd put
my hands to yours, just like this, and
I'd ask your forgiveness for being a
cross, cranky, old maid."
"But she Isn't an old maid." I heM
her fingers tightly-j- .»>. ...
"Shell be twenty -8ye: tomorrow."
She laughed. "And if a girl isn't mar
ried by the time she la twenty-flve she
is an old maid." lv,
"Then shell never be an old maid." I
declared, "because by this time tomor
row shell be married—that is/' I add
ed, "if she'll accept a stout, middle
aged man for a husband." ,.
"There Isn't one on this island/* she
declared, looking at me With shining
eyes. Ton can't claim to-be.stout
when yonr belt nearly reaches around
you twlcei Monty," she gaTamy hand
a quick little- squeeze, "yon're a dear."
"Will you marry, me?" I asked.
"Of cotjrse. 1 decided that long agtv,
Do you suppose I'd let any man see me
In this costume unless be was going to
maijy pie?" _ • "

"Excuse me, folks," said a voice, "I
bate like the deuce to bntt In on the
8othern and Marlowe stuff and J cer
t*tai£.Jbave enjcjred It, but.I've cot to
make a getaway and I can't -do a Bro
dle out of this tree without disturbing
you."
We looked up at the anxious face of
Kent peering between the branches.
"That revenue boat la coming back,
and lt'a a cinch they're going to get
me this time If I stick around this
dinky Island. I've got to beat It"
'• He scrambled down. * r ./
"How can you get away?' I asked.
"The launch," be explained briefly.
"I've been fixing her up on the q. t
this week getting ready for ap emer
gency. She looks good for fifteen miles
an hour."
"Sixteen," corrected Lucile.
"All the better then. I'll lose 'em
out there. I don't suppose you two
doves win mind If I keep 'em so busy
that they ain't got time to land Mr.
Bopp for an hour or so." He grinned,
r "Not a bit," I answered. "Good
luck." .
He started for the cove. I watched
him out of sight
' When I turned back the bench op
*1 caught Mr and punched her at aha
daaarvad."
uro was stealthily making for the shel
ter of the thicket
When I bad caught ber and punished
her as she deserved for desertion I
still held her tight In my arms for fear
she would escape me again.
"By the way," I asked casually some
time later, "where-would you like to
spend your honeymoon?"
She considered a moment and the*
parted ber lips In a slow smile.
"I think I'd like to spend our honey
moon in a dining car."
