"Looknout!' was the clear ringing
shout that came from the boat in the
rear, but it came too late.
The Victorine had bore down upon
one Of those treacherous air holes. In
an instant she had cspsized, and both
Stella and Valcour were struggling in
the water.
A cold and frlghtful plunge was all

Nora's face flushed Indignantly.

He has behaved shamefully, Stella.
When the boat upset, he just left you
to drown, and tried to save himself.
If it hadn't been for Alan Douglast
you wouldn't be here now
Did Alan save my life?' asked Stel.
la, TREMENDOUSLY.
Yes. Oh, he has acted like a hero

1t was year after they were married
that Nora came to make them a visit

almost intolerable. The leg became snor-
