SYNOPSIS.
lAicile Green, charming, but with fads,
kt visited at the Greens' summer Island
home by Monty lilalney. She proposes a
week's fast. All food is banished.
Frank Bopp, a rival suitor, appears un
expectedly. To pet food for himself M
■ttempts the mainland by motorboat.
jllainey receives a telegram aadresseo
N. Bianey from Vida, Duumore, an actress,
speaking of marriage. He la nonplused,
but Lucile's Jealousy la aroused.
A supply boat Is wrecked on rocks near
by. The crew lands safe and Blalney res
cues Vida. She Is dressed as Bosailnd.
The boat's captain explains that Vida
had donned the costume for safety. All
are forced by the high sea to remain an
the Island.
viaa discovers in uiauiey a aramuwu
er!t!c who had praised her work besides
being her rescuer. She explains to him
that she Is engaged to a Ned Blimey.
The boat breaks down and Bopp Is lp*
rooned. Durlhs a fierce storm Mrs. Green
faints and Is revived by a stimulant,
which Intoxicates hor.
Elalney discovers Luclle and Bopp nib
bling dog biscuits. He proposes to end
the fast, but there is no food. Mrs. Green
suddenly disappear and all hunt for her.
Mrs. Green suddenly phones that sne
Is stranded on another Island. While
ovcrstlniulated shs bad put out In a small
boat.
Vlda out of mischief wins a proposal
from Llpton Clair, another strandea rls
Itor. Not wishing to marry, he swlma
away from the Island,
Mrs. Green phones that a strange man
Is dogging her. Luclle hears her scream,
then the phone won't work again. Luclle
phones the sheriff on the mainland.
A reporter Invades the Island to write
up the mystery. Blalney makes him a
prisoner and In the evening hires a launch
to hunt for Mrs. Green.
"Stwufv. boys!0* the sheriff ordered.
"One moment." The young man with
the camera held up big hand. "Don't
move."
There was a blinding flash, and my
overwrought nerves jumped seven feet
anil rebounded before my brain assured
tliom that it was only a flashlight
The effcct oil the four members of
tho ambulance squad was even more
startling. Apparently not expecting
the expicslou. they dropped their bur
den nnd stood with mouths open. Ao
eldentally they dropped the body in a
sitting posture.
There v.-as a slight scream. Mrs.
Green opened her eyes and demanded,
"Where am I ?"
If the officers of the law had been
startled before, their condition now
was absolute consternation.
"Madame," the sheriff inquired,
"aren't you dead'/"
"I should say not!"
"Then you are not Mrs. Green."
"I certainly nm."
"But Mrs. Green Is dead, nerciaugn
ter told us so,"
"Dead! Fiddlesticks! It's a wonder
I'm not, though, after coming over
here in uu open boat and being at
tacked by a half naked savage with
whiskers, and, let"s see—some one
was shot. That's when 1 fainted, I
guess, because I don't remember any
thing more until just now."
"A11 I have to say," stated the man
with the rope, jamming his hat on dis
respectfully, "is that this Is a bum
night to get a man to play a Joke on
him."
"Madame," the sheriff said, with
gloomy politeness, "you have spoiled
the i nly murder case we ever had in
Miiskeloon county; that's what you
have done. Come op. boys."
In majestic silence the members of
the sheriff's posse filed from the room.
T'ue j"i'Ui;g man with the camera was
leit behind, hastily picking up his
traps in (.rUer to join the others before
their beat left Liio island.
I ayi'ioathcd Um.
".\V.v th .t I'jor: .j co murder mys
ter~," I "I presume that the
picture you took will bo useless."
".N'ot at all," he answered, too busy
folding up his tripod to notice that I
had opened the shutter of his camera.
""We'll find use for it some way."
I lit a match and held it about an
inch from the lens of the camera, pre
tending to examine the name of the
maker on it.
"What arc you doing?" he demand
ed sharply.
"Just looking at your lens," I an
swered, blowing out the match. 'It's
a Dalmeyer, I see."
"Yes. I was afraid something might
happen to that negative. I left the
film in the camera."
"Did you?" I asked innocently and
closed the shutter, once more unob
served. "May we have one of the
pictures if they turn out well?"
j lie smiled.
"If this picture turns out well," he
said, "nearly everybody In the United
States will fcavo a copy of it I'm a
photographer for the Hanlman Syndi
cate of Newspapers."
"That's what I thought," I answer
ed, returning his smile.
Aftei w -i/as gone I added, "That's
why I that negative got light
struck." '
My companions were sit
ting 6n ap«w.td Bides of the table.
"Pardon jJ6," I murmured. "I be
lloro that you have not met Mrs.
Greon, this Is Llpton 8. Clair."
"Is he the one who wrote the article
about fasting?" Mrs. Green asked me,
Ugain Ignoring her vls-a-vls.
"He is," I admitted.
Mrs. Green said nothing further.
"I presume," Clair stated sourly,
"Mrs. Green has forgotten that she
stuck a hatpin through my thumb less
than half an hour ago."
"It was not a hatpin. It was a safe
ty pin bent out straight I was afraid
It would not reach. Was that your
thumb you held over the keyhole?"
"It was. I suppose you are sorry It
was not my eye."
I could see that the more we talked
the worse the situation would get so I
Interrupted them. "We might as well
go back," I suggested wearily, survey
ing my companions. "I am going to
the mainland, Mrs. Green, and I can
leave you at home as I go by."
"You're not going away, Mr. Blal
ney?" Mrs. Green asked, with mother
ly kindness.
"Yes," I answered.
"What's the matter?" she queried
gently. "Luclle? You mustn't let her
fickleness hurt you. She has fads In
beans as well as fads In foods and ex
ercises."
I assured her with what dignity I
had left that I would prefer to con
sider my visit at an end.
When we descended to the shore to
embark on the Merry Widow, Mrs.
Green took one look at the lake and
flatly declined to travel by boat until
It was calm.
"I don't know bow I came over here.
I couldn't have been In my right senses
oven to start, but I certainly am per
fectly sane now, and as long as I re
main eo I Intend to stay on dry land
while a storm Is In progress."
"But your daughter will worry," I
protested. "Luclle has been very near
ly distracted for twenty-four hours."
"She might letter be distracted to- ,
day than an orphan on her mother's
Bide tomorrow. Anyway, I'll telephone
ber that I'm all right."
"But we can't leave you here " I re
newed" my arguthfeat, "and I have to
?o back."
"Perhaps the gentleman here"— Mrs.
3reen began.
"No," Clair de<'lifl*<l, looking at his
thumb. "I have to be in Fair View
Defore moruing to prevent my friend's
marriage."
"You can't go into Fair View wear
ing a Mother Hubbard," I reminded
tilm.
"Well, I can stop and get my own
dothes."
"On Green's Island? And meet Miss
Dunmoro again?"
"I'd forgotten about ber. What can
[ do?"
"Stay right here and I'll send the
t>oat back with a suit of clothes in an
iour."
"Is the lady, Mrs. Green, a wife or
I widow?"
"She has a husband living."
"All right then. My own clothes
that I came ashore in this morning
ire on a line on the back porch. Send
them back soon. I don't know what
I should do if Mrs. Green should fall
In love with me."
I surveyed him from the hem of his
skirt to the tip of his board. "As long
is you have those clothes on," I grave
ly assured him, "you're as safe as a
iollar at the bottom of the sea."
Before I left Mrs. Green telephoned
to Luclle and told her that she was
safe. I took the liberty of ransacking
the pantries and storeroom of the
Huntingdon bouse for supplies and
carried away enough tinned stuff to
assure the garrison at Green's island
at least one square meal.
BUI and myself embarked alone. 1
carry with me yet in memory the pic
ture of Mrs. Green and Lipton S. Clair
as 1 left them, two strangely clad fig
ures, one In a red ball gown, the other
In a calico wrapper and whiskers, hob
nobbing over a pot of tea.
