Luclle Oraen, charming, but with tails.
Is visited at the Ureena' aummar island
home by Monty Blalney. Sbe propose* a
week's fast. AU food Is ban la had.
Frank Bopp, • rival suitor, appears un
expectedly. To pat food for hlmaalf hi
attempta the mainland by motorboat.
When be Anally departed the house
was dark and the wind of the storm
made unearthly noises around the
eaves. I was mora tired than I re
membered to hare been for year*, but
not sleepy. I don't know whether It
wns aetual hunger or merely the Idea
that I had not eaten anything for for
ty-eight hours which haunted ma. Jit
any rate, every time that I closed my
eyes I'd have a vision of those dog
biscuits. I might just ,aa well have
pictured a chocolate c&ka or a dough
nut to myself; but, no—It was a dog
biscuit
After an hour or so of that kind of
torture I at last decided to satisfy my
fool imagination by showing it a dog
biscuit in the life and proving that It
was not desirable at all. That was the
only reason that I went downstairs.
It was rather ticklish business roam
ing around a strange houM wearing no
other padding than a suit of pajamas.
I banged my shins unmercifully
against several hundred pieces of fur
niture, but I toned my remarks there
at to a pitch below the howling of the
storm. An occasional flash of light
ning helped me momentarily from time
to time, but left me floundering in the
intervals. ... u ji
Finally in the kitchen, T gro{*d aCf
way to the shelf, and the box of dog
biscuit was In my hands. Furtively I
took one out, fondled It and sniffed It
Being alone there with that unpro
tected dog biscuit wai too much for
my moral courage. I decided to thrqw
honor to the winds.. There waa so
much wind and so little hanor that no
one would notice It ...
I set my teeth In the dog biscuit!
Suddenly there was a soond OQ the
stairway. I listened intently—the creak
ing of a stair!
Who could It be? Possibly it was
Kent, the ex-wire tapper. Sis early
training might have proved too much
for him and he had decided to loot
the place and moke his escape. I made
up my mind to behave valiantly and
grasped a dog biscuit firmly In one
hand, determined to sell my Dfa as
dearly as was consistent with the high
cost of living. The box containing the
rest of the biscuit 1 put back 09 the
shelf and crouched behind the stove,
ready to spring at the intruder un
awares as soon as he entered.
I had one of those flashes of Insane
bravery which is nine-tenths fear when
I saw the light of a pocket lantern
straggling along the wall at the foot
of the stairs. I Jumped four feet
straight up in the air when something
wet touched the sole of my bare foot
which was extended behind me as I
knelt behind the stove. My exclama
tion wbb drowned In a crash of thun
der. Burglar or no burglar, I was
about to run to him for protection
from that clammy thing which had
touched me when a second flash of
lightning showed me—oh, horrors! It
was Tootles frisking around my feet.
CHAPTER V.
A Myttery. .
I CROUCHED behind the stove again
lii time to see a (llin flguro outer
t^e kitoheu. The lightning re
vealed Luclle lu a dressing gown
with her hair over her shoulders. In
the single flash of light she appeared
to be the mcst beautiful thing that I
had ever seen.'-i. ; • ■ • —
She turned the flashlight on the wail
and finally rested Its my oo the box
of dog biscuit! She went over to it,
picked up one of the biscuit, pressed
it to her cheek and was about to bite
It when she hastily dropped It back
into the bos. put oat the light and
stood perfectly still, listening.
There was another sound on the
stairs! . ■ . *.j ± ..
When I looked to Bee what Luclle
was doing she had disappeared. Prob
ably she, too, was hiding somewhere
near, I reasoned.
This time there was less delay.
Whoever was coining downstairs was
carelessly assured and was scratching
mutches on the wall as be went along
to guide his progres*. He entered the
kitchen. It was Bopp, clad in the
sort of pajamas I thought he wore.
He was laughing to himself as he
came in and went straight to the box
of biscuit. He took one out of the
box.
And he ate itl ■ —=•
Before that I may have disliked tho
man, but now— A smile of enjoyment
spread over his feature#, plainly dis
cernible when the lightning flashed*
Evidently the dog biscuit were deli
cious. At last be finished and started
to leave." I was about, to breathe n
sigh of relief when I happened to
glance toward the shelf where the bis
cuit were kept.
The bos was gone. The fiend was
taking them with him. Without a
thought for poor Tootles, who would
doubtless starve to death, he was go
ing to eat all her food.
With one bound I was upon him.
The thought of that poor dog steeled
toy heart I grabbed him by the thront,
Wo Swayed Back and Forth In a
Rough and Tumble Fox Trot.
and we swayed back and forth in a
rough and tumble fox trot movement
| to the tune of the rolling thunder.
Bopp did not know us I did that Lucile
was watching somewhere there In the
darkness, and on that account be was
able to use m->re forcible language
than I, but I had superior weight, and
I was slowly bearing liir.) back when
all at once be dropped the box of dog
biscuit and with his free hand landed
a wallop in my stomach. It would have
been a foul under any circumstances,
but with my Inner workings resem
bling those of a vacuum cleaner it was
positively Inhuman.
Maddened by that blow, I growled
between my clinched teeth, "If you hit
me below the belt again I'll tear your
pajamas!"
He growled back. "Let 'er rl«v" and
rtnfiig on me twice more in the same
place.
With mad fury I picked him up and
hurled him from me. There was a
terrific crash of glass, and then, save
for the disturbance outside, all was
still.
