TIIK picture was a trifle startling.
On the floor lay the reporter,,
Ms face twisted up Into an ag

face, her little red tongue hardly able
to wag. . .. i... .4. . «
"Oh," Luclle screamed, Jumping up
and down in her excitement, "he's
killing Tootles!"
I'm afraid I laughed. Anyway, she
cast a look of reproach at me and
made a dire for the tired tittle pep.
Tootles went through the door and
dashed, banting, up the beach. Ladle
followed after, j .. -<♦ ■. .,<•* J ;

For tfci first time I realized that I

My clothe* were wet, torn, singed and
thoroughly mussed from taring been

I looked at him sharply. "What size
collar do yoa wear?"
"Fourteen and a half," he replied
gllbfy.
1' -4 granted. "Ill hare a look, any
way."
i' I rolled him over and removed the
collar and necktie as carefully as poe
slble. It was a fifteen and a half.
"Because you Ued 1 shall confiscate
the necktie a lea"
"No," he shouted, Interpreting my
glance, "you-: eeoldn't' wear another
thing of mine."
I'm afrtfJd we coincide only In the
neck," I sighed regretfully.
"Look here," he began belligerently,
"don't yon think this farce has pons

"If yoa aren't going to let me go,"
eoctinsed the young man, whose mind

"There, you hare ruined an other

He tarned his face to the wall with
oot a word. 1 left him alone with tbe
dost of his last cigar.
When I had goae a short distance I
heard him tneese.
When I was satisfied that 1 had done
the best I could to rearrange my dis
ordered clothe* and tin en I rejoined the
disconsolate group at the site of the
ooe time house. There were only four
of them—Captain Perkins, Jim. Vlda
and Kent Luclle had not returned.
> "Where's Locller Vlda Inquired.
"Tootles got sway," I explained,
"and she chased her."
"But Tootles is here." Vlda Indi
cated the dog playing around the shed
"She cams back quite awhile ago with
this In her mouth."
Vlda help up the torn and dirty rem
nants of what had been Ladle's
kimono.
"That's LocUe's kimono!" I cried
An idea struck me. "What was she
wearing tinder that?"
"I helped her put on my costume."
Vlda Touchsafed. "the one that was
drying la the shed. It fits her beauti
fully." i:
"Then I presume that you will find
Lccils orer there behind that clump
of bushes," I hazarded in a loud tone
«f roles.
There was a sound of branches
breaking and lee res rustling as If
some one were beating a hasty re- j
-on, x eeer ugru aawnea on > iu*.
"Just let her Alone. She'll get used
to them la an hour or so. Ion do feel
kind of fanny at first. Now about that
breakfast."
"Tea," Bopp chimed In, "produce
that feast you were speaking of. With
the dog in sight well take a chance
on anything you've prepared."
"Sail tor cried Jim
"Where be she?" demanded his su
perior. , ,
"Coming around the point," Jim re
plied: u
Bare enough, a fat little tugboat was
aoelag her way comfortably through
the wares Into the cove. "It's the rev
enue tugH exclaimed Captain Perkins,
whoee knowledge of lake craft was
naturally superior to that of the rest |
at u*.
"A revenue tug?" Bopp repeated. |
"What is she doing hereT"
- "Let's go and find out"
The tug came In as far as she dared,
and then an officer came ashore In a
dinghy.
"Pardon me, ladies and gentlemen,"
he began suavely, taking no notice of
•ur disheveled appearance. "I am the
Ksvenoe officer in charge of this dis
trict4 J K|; ; I" { . .!£
A cry from the tug startled us.
"What's thatr we exclaimed.
Sbe yell was repeated, this time with
• smothered finish.
y ,"JCs Just « couple erf prisoners we
captured this morning," explained the
officer. ..
"We are very glad to see you and
yoor boat" Bopp stated, doing the
honors. "We have had' a terrible lire
here, aad If you will set as safely
aabore at Fair View we shall be for
ever la yoor debt"
To eorry," fee replied, "but I cannot
carry your party as passengers. Be
ing en government service, my duties
are very exacting. However. I »hall
be glad to notify the first vessel I meet
and request them to call for you." |
• "But; men." Bopp exclaimed, "we
hare beat wlthoet anything to eat for
three dajfl Surely you caa't refuse to
take us to some place where food may
t* ..
"Yotl forget that T have provided
food," I Interposed.
"I'm trying to forget It," Bopp re
plied, with ungracious impatience. "I
want regular food."
"The lake is calming down," the offi
cer pointed out "and you can surely
get aid soon. As it happens, we are
hot on the trail of a gang of smug
glers, and If we delay now the chief
operator may escape us. He is posing
as a telephone repair mnn employed by
the local company in Fair View, but
merely uses thnt position to cloak his
criminal operations. lie was sent to
Green's Island before the storm and
has not reported back to the office, so
we presume that he is here now."
By a common impulse we looked for
Kent He was not among us. Appar
ently he had waited to hear no more
after Captain Perkins had Identified
the boat as in the government revenue
service.
"I can't believe thnt he is a smug
gler," Vlda argued. She, like the rest
of us, had conceived a '.iking for the
young man whose career had been so
varied and interesting. "He doesn't
look like a smuggler."
"I'm afraid that is no way to tell,"
the revenue officer said pleasantly.
"The worst smugglers we have are so
ciety people. We captured two of his
accomplices en Huntingdon's island
this morning, and when we get him
we shall have wiped out one of the
worst gangs of smugglers operating
across the border."
At the mention of Huntingdon's is
land we all pricked up our ears. What
connection did the smugglers have
with the disappearance uf Mrs. Green
and Lipton S. Clair?
"While you were on Huntingdon's
Island," I asked, "did you see any
thing of Mrs. Green?"
"Why," began the officer, with a puz
iled frown, "one of our prisoners
claims to be Mrs. Green, but that is
only an alias for 'Mother Farrel,"
whose portrait is in the rogues' gal
lery. I recognized her at once."
"Who Is your other prisoner?" I had
an Inkling of what had really hap
pened at HuntlmrJon's island since I
had left it.
"The other one is a man masquerad
ing In woman's clothes. He refuses
to give his name, but I think he is
Dan Maloney, a rather high class
crook who does smuggling only as a
■Ide line for grand larceny."
"I'm afraid you have the wrong par
ties." I smiled as I thought of Lip
ton S. Clair's outraged ilitmltv. "The
lady realC is Mrs. Green, and the
pcntleman Is not Dan Maloney, but
Mr. L. a Clair, a well knoWn literary
man."
The revenue officer's face fell, then
a suspicious look came into hi* ere*.
"How do I know that yon are not one
of the gang yourself and this la mere
ly a trick to get us to release yoor
pals? What was Mrs. Green doing
over there anyway 7"
"She was out In a small boat and
was blown over there during tbe
storm." Vida volunteered.
"Miss Green," the officer addrcicd
her huskily, "I cannot refuse to take
your word. IH have the prisoners
brought ashore, and if the lady is real
ly your mother I shall be glad to re
lease ber instantly."
Vida did not correct his mistake, but
asked, "liow do you know I am Mis*
Green V
"Oh, I'd know you anywhere," be
bragged, smiling. "I've seen your pho
tograph in the newspapers so often."
So be had, but not with the name of
Lucile Green attached to It
"Thank you ever so much for your
kindness."
"Not at all," he returned; then, ad
dressing the man In the dinghy,
"Smith."
"Aye. aye, sir."
"Report to Marshal Cochran on board
and ask him to bring his prisoners
ashore."
