Luclle Qreen, charming, tint with fads,
te visited at the Greens' mramer Island
horns by Monty JBlalney. She proposes a
week's fast. All food Is banished.
Frank Bopp, a rival suitor, appears un
expectedly. To set food for himself hi
attempts the mainland by motorboat.
"Hoi' your bead steady • minute,"
she requested gravely. "Wanna see
who y'are."
"I'm Mr. Blalney," I explained.
"Everything in all right"
"Course lt'a a' right But I don't
think 111 get up till the boat stops
rockin'."
"You're not In a boat, Mrs. Green.
This Is your own homsk."
"It's a boat I tell yon. I guess I
I know wh«n I'm seastck. Besides, at
t home ain't got so many pictures of
purple sunsets."
"But there aren't any picture* of
purple sunsets here," I profited.
"You're mistaken, my fren\ there's
two at "em over there." Bhe pointed
limply In the are of a circle which took
in the entire opposite slds of tho room.
"I'll show you. HoP thla board steady
while I step on It"
8be gravely made an effort to rlae,
but falling In ttmt. fell back Hmjdy
Into my anna.
"It's no use. Ship rocks so I can't
stan' tip. Have to roll over there."
I tried to prevent her, but It was
useless. She Insisted on rolling on the
floor. She was engaged in that pleas
ant pastime when her daughter and
Mr. Bopp entered, dripping from the
rainstorm.
I tried to pick Mrs. Green up.
With a cry of alarm LocUe rushed to
her mother's side, then started back,
sniffing the air.
"Mr. Blainey," she cried In horror
stricken tones, "you've been drink
ing!"
"Don' scol' my HI' fr'enY' Mrs.
Green protested, patting my arm.
"He's moe' beautiful fr'ea* I got"
A tight of understanding began to
dawn in Lueile's eye.
"She fainted," 1 explained, "and a
man who was here to repair the tele
phone gave it to her to revive her. It
was too much on an empty stomach."
"Is the telephone fixed?" demanded
Bopp, springing up. "Maybe I can get
a launch to come for me yet"
Tho look which Luclle gave him
warmed my heart and made up to me
for the hours I had spent alone that
day. He sank back into his chair.
"Will you call up Br. Stone, Mont
morency," she requested sweetly, "and
ask him to come over to see mother?"
"Surely," I replied. I soon had the
doctor on the wire. I told him that
we wanted him to come over.
"I don't believe that It is possible,"
came the answer over the wire.
"Not possible?" I echoed. "Why
not?"
"Haven't you seen the sea that is
running? It wouldn't be safe for any
kind of a boat to land at Green's Island
the way It is blowing now. You knrfw
the shore is Tery rocky there, ind if
you miss the entrance to the cove
you'd be dashed to pieces sure."
I told that to Luclle.
"Ask him what we should do for
mother ourselves," she instructed. "TeTl
him she has some fever and seems
very weak."
I told the doctor what she had said
and asked what we could do for the
old lady until the sea quieted down
enough so that he could come over. He
told me, and I hnng up the receiver.
"Well," Luclle interrogated, "what
did he say?"
"He said"—I repeated It carefully—
"he said: Tell her to give her digestive
apparatus a rest Don't eat anything
for twenty-four hours, and drink plenty
of water.'"
Bopp laugnea aenaiveiy.
The elder lady showed signs of In
terest "Thagg what I wan*—'water,"
she declared, "plenty o* water. Blalney,
beautiful tt"en', gimme some water.
Have some yourself."
I gave her a glass of water, which
she drank with enviable relish.
"Beg* water I ever ta*t*d," said Mrs.
Green, attempting to pot some to ber
eye under the mistaken impression that
it was ber mouth. "Blalney, be like
me. Never drink anything stronger
than this water an' you'll always be
blithe an' gay, Jus' like m*"
"Ton are going up to bed," Luclle
said reprovingly.
"Go to bedT t don' wanna go to bed.
I'm gonna put on my red drees."
Mother and daughter started up the
stairs, bn tbe landing Mrs. Green
turned.
"Goo'by, beaufful Blalney. Most
beant'ful man I ever met Goo'by."
After she had been dragged around a
bend of the stairway by ber scan
dalized daughter tbere drifted down to
the living room a grumbled fragment
of Indignant protest: '"Weighs is beauf
ful. He's more beaufful than th' Meth
odic' minister, an' you knot* It"
CHAPTEh IV. "
Tho Raid on tho Kltoheifc
WIIE^I wo were left alone to
gether I could tell by the
scowl on Bopp's face that
he had fallen heir to the
headache I had possessed the day be
fore.
"Cheer up, Bopp," I admonished,
moro to make conversation than any*
thing else. "I am just as hungry as
you are/'
"No one has ever been as hungry as
I am," he declared.
'Trobably I am more hungry than
1 you are," I Insisted. *1 have more
room to bo hungry In."
Tootles enme romping In.
"Poor pup!" commiserated Bopp. "I
supposo she is starved too."
"No; that Isn't tho reason she's bark
ing. Sho has been fed."
"Fed? What?"
"Dog biscuit"
"Where are they?"
"In the kitchen," I replied unthink
ingly. "From tho way she 1s behaving
I there must be some One outside."
I It was almost dark. I Went to the
door and peered out There was a man
! joining up the path.
| "Who is It?" Bopp demanded
| "I can't make out"
I "Maybe It's a man off the supply
| boat"
| "Ipipoaslble," I explained. "The eu>
ply boat isn't due until tomorrow, and
even If she were here they couldn't
land from ber In this storm."
The telephone repair man appeared.
"I gnesa I got to stay here att night"
be announced. "The storm is gat&nf
so bad I don't dare try to row badk to
town. I don't care much for water un
less it's mixed with something; else>"
Luclle came downstairs. I explain
ed the situation to her. "Of eooree
you can stay all night, but It will be
Impossible to give you anythihf to
eat" she said.
"Why not?" be asked. "I don't ex
pect to go to the trough with the fam
ily. I'll feed wUh the help In the
kitchen without a murmur. As far aa
that goes, though, I'm a union man
and as good as anybody."
"Certainly," agreed Luclle. "Ton are
welcome to anything we hare, but w»
have nothing. We are <<£-fasting. We
decided not to eat anytime for A
week."
"Bugs," he decided briefly; then,
turning to Bopp and myself: "Gent*,
put me right. Do I or do I not coal at
this station?"
"The lady has told you correctly," I
assured him. "There Is no food In the
house."
"And you're doing It, too T He
laughed sarcastically. "When I come
here the old lady was pulling a Brodle
Dn the floor, and now the fat guy ain't
•atlng anything. A bunch of dlpa all
right"
"Yon had better go upstairs and
:hange your clothes," said Lucile.
"What will I change 'em Into—t
I nickel plated wash boiler or a pall of
llamond earrings?"
"I mean pnt on some dry things.
Frank, you and he are about the same
size. You'll lend him a suit of yours,
tvou't you?"
Sure he would. lie had to.
When they were at the top of the
stairs Bopp yelled down, "Monty, Mra.
Sreen wants you to come up I"
1 started, but LuPlle stopped me.
"Ask her what she wants."
In a minute Bopp had the answer.
"She says she isn't going to sleep
until she sees her beautiful friend
Monty. If he doesn't come up she'll
rome down."
Lucile, blushing, went up to explain
to her mother that her request wm
Impossible. From behind the closed
loor of Mrs. Green's room there issued
sounds of an argument supplemented
by weeping.
Eventually Lucile came to the top of
the stairs and called, "Monty I"
How different that name sounded
when she used it! I bounded up the
Btalrs. When I say "bounded" I mean
tt It was the first time that I had
lone anything like that in years.
Lucile stood leaning over the banis
ter, perplexed (Tnd troubled, her face
Bushed nnd her hair becomingly dl»
irranged, as If she had been engaged
in a physical contest of some sort I
stopped on the stairs below her.
"The blessed damosel leaned oat
Prom the gold bar of heaven,"
I tjuoieu.
"Don't be silly," she said In a tone
of voice that told me she liked it "I
bare to ask you a dreadfully embar
rassing question."
"All right." I commanded. "Shoot"
"Would you mind very much kissing
a lady who is not as young as she was
once?"
"Would I mind?" I said, taking ber
hands. "I've been thinking of nothing
else for two years."
"I meant" disengaging her hands
gently, "would you mind kissing moth
er good night? She is acting very pe
culiarly this evening, as you know,
and she says she won't go to sleep
until you kiss her."
I was touched at the old lady's fond
ness for me. We went In. She wa«
lying tucked up in bed, with a night
cap tied firmly nnder her chin.
"Luei.'e made me come bo bed," Mi*.
Green volunteered, her bright ey««
snapping with wakefulness. all
nonsense. Don' wanna be in bed. I
wanna get up and go somewhere with
you and eat"
"There, there," said Lucile, "the doc
tor 6ays not to eat anything."
"Yes." snapped her mother, "and HI

he said it 1 know a place to eat over
In town, beautiful Blalney—lotfl of fine

She started to throw back the cov
