•xpectedly. To set food for M
attempts the mainland bf notorbofct.
We all went dowii to see Kim'effand
sat on the dock until b« got omj
thing ready—all of as, that Is, except
Mrs. Green, who complained at •
headache, poor old lady, and fledded
to stay In bed.
I did not help Bopp on his way
much, as I should have liked to, be
cause I know my limitations when ft
comes to motorboats. Now, with SO
automobile I am right at home. When
a car refuses to do what the advertise
ments claim for It, an yon nead to (do
Is to get out the tool kit, Jack op one
of the axles and telephone the nearest
garage. Sometimes it Isn't even nec
essary to use the Jack, but 1t looks
more professional and Impresses your
passengers -with your mechanical skilL
Bopp looked the engine over and sniff
ed. "Looks like It was built by a one
armed plumber's assistant with the St.
Vitus dance. However, Ifs very sim
ple. A child could understand thla."
He pulled a few levers, set the Hat
lng wheel and started to crank It
"Monty," be commanded, ^oosqb that
line there, and when tho engine starts
throw It aboard so I ««1 late to
leave the steering wheel."
I did as he asked.
He turned the flywheel m pain
fully. There was a sort Ct wheeling
sound, but nothing resembling uie ref
ular explosion of a marine motor in the
flush of perfect health feeling Its oat&
"The engine Is cold," he announced.
"The principle of the gasoline «n
glue," I lectured glibly to Lucfle, *1»
easily comprehensible to the intellect
of a boy of ten. It consists simply of
mixing gasoline In the thlng-e-cna-Jlg
which is drawn into a what-d'-yoo-call
it in the engine, and then when to
electric spark is applied from the ding
bat there is an explosion. 8e»—he
turns the wheel over—this draws the
charge of gas into the engine—now the
eccentric trips the sparking d«viee
now listen Intently for the explosion.
Sou can't hear It because there la ft
very good muffler on the boat."
Bopp expressed what he thought of
me by hitting the engine a smart rap
with the monkey wrench.
"What's the matter?" inquired Lo
clle sweetly, wishing to smooth matters
over. "Won't the engine run?"
That Is always the prlie question to
ask the operator of a gasoline engine
oh a boat or an auto. Not that yoc
see an auto stalled beside the read,
with the driver dripping perspiretiofi
and tearing his heart out ftt the crank,
ask him that, and you will he** Wp»
pour out his Innermost soul wdl
of one syllable.
Bopp seemed disinclined to sm#•*,
so I did it for him. "Xoa eee, be oenld
make the engine go, any chad eeftll,
but he wants to get It all warmed «p
before he starts It It la mlljr Mad
ness on his part. No huiMite bu
would want to make « poor, ooU, «wm
line engine run fast right ftt ftsrt- left!
Mr. Bopp is going to hold It tn his tap
until it gets warm."
"Oh, dry up!" snapped Bopp Impo
litely.
"That's Impossible," 1 retorted. The
earth Itself Is over, two-thirds wate*.
and I stack up considerably hlghe*
than that"
Bopp now had a smudge eg teak
grease on his light trousers, bed 0SW
a blister on the palm of his hand eod
had used up a collar completely. He
opened a valve on top of the eogftvfc
sniffed suspiciously and looked Wtoft
"It's flooded," be snorted.
"I can sympathise with W I
feelingly.
After rummaging around tn the fcftfc
er for awhile he got eut ft eoDectlee e<
tools and began Co semore ft atari
from the engine.
"In order to make tt mkr to udee
stand the inner vorktnga 9t tto en

with black grease Is the <W*
N'o; I am mistaken. That la the man's
leg. The crank shaft to that ottor
thing not quite so thin and aitapslses.
Move your leg a little, will ye*, Bopp,
so that Lucile can tell which to
crank shaft?"
There was no reply save a g*swl e<
rage from below where the young den
was standing on his bead D»«rln®
the gizzard of the machine.
"Don't forget to tell me wheo to !•*
go of the rop®," 1 reminded Mm.
Ludle suddenly scrambled flown teto
the launch. _ ,

He aroe© from his Imitation of a kan

gw» without comment Ela feelings,
whatever they were, ha did not dare
trust to speech. There was something
majestic about the repression of the
man that forbade comment In pal
pitating silence he attached the wire
to a place which seemed to be made
for it, reassembled the engine, wiped
off hfc hands and grasped tbe crank.
He turned it once easily, and, "slug,"
the motor got down to business Bke a

She was too lata. Tbe boat stopped
soddecly. Bopp bsstfiy took an ha

tnteatlonally from pain, holding one
hand co his belt line when the wheel
had struck him.
