CHAPTER I.
Fast Ashore.
"W TE eat too much," stated Lu
cilo definitely while wo were
j Y having tea on the front
porch.
"We certainly do." I assented idly.
"Why not give our digestive appa
ratus a rest?" she propounded.
"Why not?" I rushed to my doom. I
was having my two weeks' vacation
and was too happy at being able to
spend It on the Island to care any
thing about an argument.
"I suggest that we fast for a week."
A suggestion like that put me in t
nice fix. I don't mind stating that at
that tiino I was about 210 pounds of
•ligible bachelor, aged thirty-five, com
fortably in love with Lucile, but too
aid and set In the complacent selfish
ness of single blessedness ever to pre
tend to be a Romeo. The idea of fast
ing gave me a sinking sensation right
where there was the most room to
sink.
"What?" I ejaculated, forgetting for
the moment that I had a reputation for
ready repartee.
"I said, 'Why not fast for a weekf
I read an article by Lipton 8. Clair
about it just this morning. He claims
that fasting thoroughly rebuilds the
system, gets rid of all toxins and In
creases tho mental efficiency 60 per
cent."
She picked up a magazine which was
propped open face downward on the
lower shelf of the porch table.
"Listen to this," she continued. " "Eat
ing three meals a day Is simply a hab
it. We have made tyrants of our stom
achs. They demand to be fed eVery
few hours, and if we answer that de
mand we are slaves.' There, that
sounds like the reasoning of a thinker,
doesn't it?"
"It sounds more like the reasoning of
a thinker than of an eater."
Lucile reproved my flippancy. "I think
It would do us all good."
"But I feel all right now." I called
her attention to an obvious fact
She dismissed my objection. "You
can't be healthy unless you fast for a

week at least once a year. Lipton S.
Clair says so. Mother, you'll try It
won't yon?"
"Try what?'
"Fasting for a week." 1
"Why, yes, If you want to." Her
mother picked up a book as If sfia had
decided nothing more momentous than
a question a9 to whether she preferred
cream or lemon In her tea. She had
been used as an experiment station for
so many years that nothing surprised
her.
I got up casually and tried to Blip to
doors, bat Ladle «topped me. "Don't
you think It will be lovely, Montmo
rency?"
I collapsed Into a chair, which col
lapsed immediately after I did. Sh*
had called me by my first name! Tea;
Montmorency is my'first name. It
sounds like several names, but It Is
only my first That first name thing
made It Very hard to refuse. As I sat
there on the porch surrounded by legs,
rang and other parts of a chair a ter
rific struggle went on In my being be
tween my heart and my stomach, and
the weaker party won. Possibly my
mind was stunned by my fall, although
I have no recollection of hitting my
head. I felt that Luclle was putting
me to the test. From the look In her
eye I knew that she was asking me to
choose between love and beefsteak.
So rising phoenix like I answered
bravely, "Yes; I think fasting would
be delightful."
80 that was how we began.
As you can easily see, the cause of
the trouble was that Luclle Is one of
those persons who take the magazine
health and hygienic writers In good
faith. It Is Impossible to convince her
that those fellows have to make a liv
ing by their pens the same as other
human authors and that every bizarre
Idea they cftn pounce on means Just
so much more copy at a regular rate
per word No, Luclle must needs try
by experiment every new theory, nslng
herself or any convenient relative or
friend as a laboratory.
The absurdity of Luclle's attempt to
Improve upon her health and looks Is
apparent to any one who has ever been
blessed with a sight of her. Tou can't
make a slim young body like hers by
simply rolling on the floor for an hour
every day, nor are soft brown eyes
with long, curly lashes the result of
chfewtog any particular number of
times upon a piece of steak. Nature
must have been experimenting a good
many centuries before she got Just
that particular texture for hair and
that peculiar shade of cream velvet for
complexions.
At this particular time ror neariy
twenty-flve years she and nature had
been uninterrupted by matrimony In
their job of decorating, so that It Is not
to be wondered nt that they had turned
out a well nigh perfect product There
la nothing unfinished about her.
One of her early spasms was Fletch
erlsm; then she struck the nuts and
berries Idea. I was a guest at her home
ttie summer she tried both of these
things out If you are going to Fletch
erlze, a piece of old boot tastes Just as
good as a steak, and It Is more econom
ical. The adherents of the nuts and
berries diet claim that It Is a good food
schedule because grizzly bears live on
It As far as I am concerned, being
like a grizzly bear is a doubtful advan
tage, and, besides, I don't believe It Is
possible for a bear to shell enough pea
nuts to live on.
Luclle called' a meeting to discuss
ways and means.
"First of til," she said, "when the
ripply boat comes today we'll make
them take back every edible thing they
have brought, together with what we
have on hand,' so that we won't be
tempted. Isn't It lucky our cottage la
on an Island all by Itself so that It
won't bo possible for one of us to cheat
by going to a hotel somewhere." _
"Don't you think It would be a great
er victory for ua If we conquered the
demon food" with some supplies'within
easy reach?" I suggested, with a pain
ful recollection of that supply boat
which came only twice a week, but car
ried delicacies of which Lucullus never
dreamed.
"No, It's best to take no chances."
"There's the motorboat anyway. We
could run over to the mainland."
"No, we couldn't" Luclle smiled.
"Father Is the only one who can run
It, and he wont be here until Sunday."
Thus another ray of sunlight flicker
ed out A man of my build does not
crank up a marine engine located near
the floor of a boat I might say he
could not, 'but It la truer to say that
he does not If he'ls the least bit wise
he does not even try it
4*11 give1 the mild a week off," L«
cile ckintlhtied gayly. "As we're not go
ing to eat anything we shall not really
need her, and she has been wanting to
go home tor some time. Ill let her
go bacfc with the supply boat Well
begin our fasting tomorrow by going
without breakfast"
She consulted the magazine again.
"We have to drink plenty Of good, pure
water and think high thoughts all the
time, and we'll hardly notice the ab
sence Of food at all Then next Mon
day well break our fast by drinking
the juice of an orange and eating a
handful of popcorn, just one handful
so as hot to shock our digestive ap
paratus by tntrbduclng1 any thing solid
Into It"

rules and regulations which Luclle
